Chapter 5 Went on Trending, Exposing the Cheating Couple

Author: Pear Heart
In front of him was a paternity test report! The person who had conducted the test was Luna!

The report stated that based on the available information and the results of the DNA test, Absalom was not the biological father of the child!

Absalom’s pupils dilated in an instant!

This envelope contained not only the paternity test report but also a series of medical documents!

These documents indicated that Luna had undergone an amniocentesis to determine paternity when she was sixteen weeks pregnant!

Thump!

Absalom’s expression turned fierce as he pounded his fist heavily against the front seat of the car.

“Take me to the hospital,” he ordered in a cold voice.

The secretary, driving the vehicle, hesitated for a moment. “Sir, there’s an important meeting regarding the Empyrean Tower's restoration next.”

“I said, take me to the hospital! Is that so hard to understand?” Absalom roared.

”Yes, sir.” The secretary swiftly turned the car around and headed to the hospital.

Harmonia exited the courthouse and headed to a nearby parking lot. The sunlight filtered through the trees and cast a warm glow on her.

It turned out that all the hardships of the past were just paving the way for a better future.

She smiled a little. She removed her reading glasses and let her long hair down. She flicked her hair and exuded a sophisticated allure.

Then, she took out her phone and called Alessia.

“Alessia, it’s time to release the second wave of revelations.”

“Got it!”

After the call ended, the news of “Absalom had an affair with Luna, but he was not the father of her child” spread like wildfire. Media outlets and social media influencers were going crazy with reposts and shares. The Internet exploded with gossip!

Several videos showed Absalom accompanying Luna to maternity check-ups, while Luna acted cute and sweet to him. They appeared to be quite intimate.

However, what followed was a paternity test report that left everyone stunned. It revealed that Luna’s child had no biological relation to Absalom!

Previously, Luna gained fame online for a viral short video where she wore a traditional English gown while passing through the Empyrean Tower.

After that, the revelation of her being the daughter of the Woods family, coupled with her identity as the most beautiful girl of the Nilus University’s architecture faculty, garnered her even more fans.

Who could have thought that their beloved “traditional English gown muse” would turn out to be a shameless homewrecker?

The online community was now in an uproar, with public sentiment strongly siding with Harmonia.

People understood the reasons behind the divorce. There was an outpouring of criticism directed at the cheating man and his mistress. It was a moment of satisfaction for her.

Harmonia cruised down the street in her Ferrari and blasted high-energy punk music on her way to the Nilus City International Trade Center.

The center consisted of six towering skyscrapers that were iconic structures in Nilus City. They were all privately owned by the Marsh family.

Upon arriving at the consortium building, she pulled aside at the grand and imposing entrance.

Mr. Smith, seeing the Ferrari pull up, approached with a cheerful smile.

Harmonia handed him the divorce certificate.

The next moment, Mr. Smith burst into genuine laughter. He quickly took out his phone and snapped pictures of the certificate from the front, the inside, and the back, as if it were some priceless treasure.

“Mr. Smith, is my brother back?”

“He just set foot on Nilus City soil just under an hour ago.”

“Is he in his office? I’ll go find him.”

Harmonia knew how much her brother, Hector Marsh, hoped she would come to her senses and give up that scoundrel, Absalom. She could not wait to show him her divorce certificate.

“Miss Harmonia!” Mr. Smith stopped Harmonia. “Mr. Hector is in the conference room. Today is the monthly shareholders’ meeting.”

At that moment, two employees were chatting in a low voice.

“Who knows what those old shareholders are going to demand at today’s shareholders’ meeting.”

“Last month, they wanted us to prepare sashimi and hand-brewed coffee for them.”

“They come here every month and always give Mr. Hector a hard time. What can he do? Everyone knows he’s an illegitimate child, and that makes him inferior in status.”

Mr. Smith was taken aback and quickly rebuked them. “What nonsense are you all talking about? Get back to work!”

The two employees lowered their heads and hurried away. As Mr. Smith turned around to speak to Harmonia, he found she had already taken off her oversized coat and tossed it on the table.

With a black tank top and tight-fitting pants and her long hair swaying with each step, she exuded an intimidating aura.

The aura left Mr. Smith momentarily stunned in place. He was so relieved that tears welled up in his eyes. He thought to himself. “The once awesome and formidable Miss Harmonia is back!”

Harmonia took the elevator straight to the meeting room.

She could hear the shareholders making mocking remarks from outside.

“Hector, being the illegitimate child of the Marsh family, the fact that you’ve managed to secure the position of CEO and get to where you are today is a favor bestowed upon you by me. So, you'd better not choose the wrong side!”

Thud!

    The meeting room door swung open. Harmonia yanked a chair back and placed both hands on the conference table. Even though she wore a gentle smile, she gave off a chilling vibe. “Mr. Kurt, as the legitimate child of the Marsh family, how come I’ve never heard that my brother’s position as CEO was bestowed upon him by you as a favor?” Harmonia’s words were like a bombshell. They shattered the calm atmosphere and created waves of shock. “You... You’re Harmonia?” Kurt Ivanov seemed surprised as he was unable to recognize her immediately. After all, she had been out of the public eye for five years and had not been seen in the Marsh Consortium. “It seems like your eyesight has deteriorated over the past five years, Mr. Kurt. Perhaps I should arrange for a specialist to give you a check-up tomorrow.” Harmonia’s demeanor was overbearing and imposing. Her words were sharp and aggressive. Her demeanor was pleasing to the eyes, and her words were satisfying to the ears! “Harmon

    Hector furrowed his brow and said, “It’s about the restoration of the Empyrean Tower. I plan to have Marshtown Studio compete with Terran Construction in the bidding. However, Kurt is against this idea.” Marshtown Studio was a gift from Hector to Harmonia after her graduation, but over the years, it had made no significant progress. As the Marsh family did not make their fortune doing construction, the studio’s existence had become a thorn in the eyes of some shareholders. Furthermore, she had secretly made negotiations and then handed over all of the three groundbreaking construction projects, which amazed the world, to Absalom and Terran Construction. Looking back, Harmonia realized how foolish she had been in the past. Now, with Marshtown Studio stagnating, she felt responsible for the situation. “Is Kurt against it because the Terran family is a heavyweight in the construction industry? And he thinks Marshtown Studio stands no chance and it would embarrass Marsh Consort

    “Terran Construction’s statement basically explained nothing! It is the same as using duct tape over a burst water pipe! It only caused the scandal to explode!” “What a load of crap! The fact that his wife has become his ex-wife already explained it all!” “I bet that sister he mentioned is actually his lover! Sometimes, she’s his sister; sometimes when he has needs, she’s his lover!” “Poster above, very well said!” … As it turned out, Terran Construction would have been better off choosing to stay silent! They probably thought the decline in share prices the next day would not be that bad. So, they released the statement and just made things worse! Bang! The intercom was smashed to pieces. Absalom’s eyes were filled with rage as he shouted, “The entire PR department is fired!” … Harmonia remained calm after going through the trending topics, as everything had gone as she had anticipated. She set her phone aside and began handling the transfer of Marshtown Studio

    “Playing?” Harmonia arched an eyebrow in sarcasm. “If you want to play around and treat this bidding like a game, then you’re being unprofessional. Please leave me out of it.” The once gentle and demure Harmonia had transformed into a sharp and elegant blade. “Don’t tell me you’re here to bid.” Absalom’s tone was as cold as ice. “Well, isn’t it obvious? You can’t tell, Mr. Terran?” Harmonia’s voice remained just as gentle as before, as if nothing had changed, even though the truth was everything had changed between them. “Hmph, you’re overestimating yourself!” “In your eyes, is having the support of Marsh Corporation overestimating oneself?” “So, are you with Hector now?” Harmonia smiled and dismissed the distasteful question. “Nilus City is full of people with the Marsh surname. Don’t think that just because you share the same surname, you can build a relationship with Hector. He didn’t get to where he is today by being kind!” Absalom’s eyes were dark. His gaze loc

    Harmonia’s gentle voice filled the room. Her voice was flowing like a forest brook. It was calm and soothing. Throughout her presentation, she did not glance at the large screen even a single time. Every detail was etched into her mind. Her explanations were clear and organized. Her proposal could be described as flawless. “What Marshtown Studio aims to do is not just restore Empyrean Tower but to rekindle the image of Empyrean Tower in the hearts of all Nilus City residents.” She concluded with a beautiful statement and earned applause from the entire audience. Inside the live chat room, the barrage of comments was going wild! “Who’s this stunning lady with a knack for architecture? As a recent graduate from Nilus University’s architecture faculty, I’m thoroughly impressed!” “Marshtown Studio’s restoration plan is really extraordinary and creative. Not everyone has the guts for that!” “I personally prefer Marshtown Studio’s proposal. Now, it’s up to the client to decide!

    “I choose Marshtown Studio.” As he said that, the members of the studio erupted in cheers. Terran Construction had lost! For the past five years, Terran Construction had been invincible and dominant in the industry, but now they had lost to a relatively unpopular studio. While the members celebrated, Harmonia simply smiled. “That was a good competition, Mr. Terran.” After Harmonia said that, she took the stage, shook hands with Dominic, and exchanged contracts. Marshtown Studio had won the bidding! In an instant, topics like “Marshtown Studio beats Terran Construction” and “Terran Construction narrowly defeated” were trending! It sparked discussions across social media! “Oh, I feel sorry for Mr. Terran. He’s so handsome! I’ve got a soft spot for handsome guys!” “Have you forgotten what just happened? Wake up, girl! Do you also want to be Mr. Terran’s sister?” “Who is this beautiful lady from Marshtown Studio? She seems so confident, and she’s really capable!” “D

    He was worried her back would hit the wall. So, he had purposely put his hand out to cushion her fall. “Absalom, let go of me!” The way Harmonia looked at Absalom was full of anger. “Harmonia, you’re only opposing me to attract my attention.” Harmonia chuckled at this. She felt it was absurdly funny. “Mr. Terran, confidence is a good thing to have, but arrogance is not.” She had to admit. Absalom had the right to be cocky, but his arrogance was misplaced! “Harmonia, I’m giving you a chance to return!” He had a feeling that she was getting farther and farther away from him. A chance? “Absalom, you should just give up!” Her words did not have a shred of warmth to them. It made his heart clench. Harmonia’s pretty brows frowned. She put in her all to escape his hold. However, she put in too much energy, and the back of her hand struck his lower jaw. The slap was not too heavy, but it was enough to draw everyone’s attention. Taking this opportunity, Harmonia pus

    Harmonia nodded slightly and explained, “The apology was for my clumsiness. When I saw you getting into the car, I was worried that you would leave and that I couldn’t catch up. Human legs can’t outrun cars after all. The thank you was for saving me once again.” “Again?” He smirked. “You are a grateful one. It was but a simple gesture. There’s nothing to thank me for.” Once he said this, he walked toward the parked Alphard. He stopped in front of the car. “If you really want to thank me, then stay away from my nephew.” The surroundings were exceptionally quiet. His words were as heavy as a giant rock thrown into a quiet lake. Harmonia thought she misheard! His nephew was Absalom? So, he was Absalom’s uncle who never showed up, Dimas Martinez! Dimas Martinez was an extremely mysterious man. There were very few who had seen him! Harmonia frowned. It was clearly summer, but there seemed to be a chilling breeze. It was freezing her to the bone. She never thought t

    Quinn was startled. “W-what?”“I wasn't locked up here because I ruined your father's business and he is seeking revenge on me.”“Why are you locked up here, then?”Absalom frowned and replied, “It's complicated. It's not something that can be explained in a short time, but if I'm rescued, it means that there will be one more piece of evidence against your father.”Quinn bit her lower lip. She understood.If he were rescued, her father's actions of injuring him and imprisoning him would no longer be a secret.“You're his daughter, and once he falls, you might not be safe either.”Quinn hadn't thought about it deeply before, but now, Absalom's words weighed heavily on her heart.Even though her father had never cared about her and was always distant and cold toward her, and even though her sister bullied her since childhood, every word and action showing contempt toward her, they were her family, and that was something she couldn't change.Moonlight shone into the cellar throug

    Absalom froze in place while holding the snacks at the sound of those words. “She… She answered the call?” His heart felt a sharp pain that hurt a million times more than the wounds on his body.That one word ‘aunt’ was something he didn't want to hear but couldn't deny. They were together, weren't they?Quinn continued to disinfect his wounds, not noticing his expression as she went on and said, “Yes. I've already told her about you. Don't worry, they'll definitely come to rescue you!”“I'm familiar with the paths at home. If conditions permit, I'll guide you when the time comes.”He snapped back to reality, rejecting her without a second thought. “No need. You've done enough for me already by saving my life.”Quinn looked at him and said, “No. I have to see you alive and rescued before I can feel at ease.”“Why?” He asked.She was puzzled. “What do you mean why?”“No one cares about my life,” His eyes dimmed with sorrow.He even wondered if it would have been better if he

    Castell looked at her. His gaze was devoid of warmth but rather, it was as indifferent as cold water.“Tomorrow is your sister's assessment day, and I've been invited to Snow Manor.”Quinn nodded softly and asked obediently, “Is Nara confident that she will win?”Upon hearing this, Castell snorted with great dissatisfaction, “There's no such thing as losing among the Kenwoods! She will definitely be the winner!”Quinn shrank back in fear when she saw the ferocity in his eyes, and she did not dare to say another word. She simply nodded, forced a smile, and said, “In that case, I’ll stay at home and wait for Dad and Nara to come back victorious.”Only then did Castell nod begrudgingly.“Okay, go to sleep now.”Quinn waved to him and then turned to leave.The helicopter slowly ascended, gradually disappearing into the night.After Castell left, Quinn entered the room under Mrs. Clint's watchful eyes.After about an hour, Mrs. Clint entered the bedroom, made sure Quinn was asleep

    Madam Judd's tone was gentle yet firm.Nara was stunned.“That’s impossible! How could I get it wrong?! You must have made a mistake!”She gritted her teeth at the last sentence.Madam Judd chuckled and said, “All three of these are fake.”Nara had an incredulous expression as she shone the flashlight on them again.“The jade has been soaked in strong acid, impurities washed away, then injected with glue. The methods of counterfeiting are becoming more sophisticated, reaching a point where it's hard to tell real from fake. To discern the authenticity of jade, one needs keen eyesight and extensive experience to make judgments. Just because you've seen more and possess more jade doesn't mean you understand more. Do you understand now?”The proud Nara was embarrassed by Madam Judd and couldn't find a way to save herself from embarrassment for a moment. “Understood,” Harmonia nodded.Nara had to reluctantly say, “Understood.”Madam Judd then immediately began the lesson.Though

    She had an uncontrollable nosebleed as blood kept dripping from her nose. She hurriedly bent over, and the drops of blood fell into the sink. Despite the flow of water, it was still extremely alarming.Harmonia did not know what was wrong with her, but after about a minute, she managed to stop the bleeding. She frowned, suspecting that it might be due to heatiness. With about fifteen minutes until nine o'clock, she quickly changed her clothes and hurried toward the appraisal room.Even before the training began, Jenell had already made arrangements for preparations at Snow Manor in advance. The tools in the appraisal room were already prepared.Harmonia and Nara arrived successively.At nine o'clock, Jenell appeared.However, the person who appeared with Jenell shocked Harmonia!

    Both Jasper and Nancy were dumbfounded. Dimas simply stood there with a strong, calm, and intimidating aura, which made people tremble with fear even without him losing his temper. Jasper and Nancy obediently admitted their mistakes. One was in his early twenties, and the other was about to become an adult, but here they were, behaving like kindergarten kids, loudly promising to be model siblings in the future.Harris laughed heartily, his face showing an expression of ‘even these two rascals have their days’.Coincidentally, Mac walked out.“What’s going on?”Harris immediately explained, “The siblings were quarreling, but their father isn't here right now, so the elder brother stepped in as a father figure to educate them properly!”Mac burst into laughter, “I don’t want to say too much, but you should quarrel less with Nancy. She's not in good health, so you should be more considerate toward her.”After Jasper calmed down, he also realized his mistake deeply. He was born w

    “Two people, two favors.” Two was two and could not be less. Harris failed to play dumb. “You’re really good at calculating!”However, he had no other choice. After all, he could not handle these two people on his own! His head would ache whenever they argued. “Okay, two favors it is, then!” Harris agreed. Dealing with those troublemakers really gave him a headache.“Tell me, what two things do you want me to do for you, then?” Dimas said calmly, “I’ll leave Monia’s safety in your hands in ten days.”Harris was taken aback. “Huh? Isn't that girl at Snow Manor? With your mother there, her safety should be absolutely guaranteed.”“I’m still worried.”“Why don't you take care of her safety yourself, then?”As he spoke, Harris counted his fingers. He suddenly came to a realization.“In ten days? Wouldn’t that be the day when Harmonia and Nara will be taking their assessment together?”Dimas nodded.“You're leaving the base?” Harris understood and asked.“Yes.”“Where are you

    ‘You’re really killing me.’Harmonia whispered goodnight to him again, then stuffed her cell phone under the pillow as she prepared to have a good sleep.Dimas, who was at the base, also put down his cell phone at the moment. He looked at the simple layout diagram carved on the bottom of the box and turned on his laptop immediately to reconstruct it. At the same time, he called Mac to investigate Castell's second daughter.At first, Mac thought Dimas was joking. Everyone knew Castell only had one daughter, Nara. How could there suddenly be another daughter? Dimas then told Mac about the content of the phone call Monia had received. Mac immediately realized the seriousness of the matter. Before confirming whether Absalom was really in the wine cellar in Kenwood Mansion, he needed to confirm whether Castell really had a second daughter.After hanging up the phone, he acted quickly. Since she was a living person, there was no way she could not be traced.Mac's efficiency was

    The air seemed to freeze at this moment.The phone clearly displayed the ‘call in progress’ message, but it was as if it was affected by signal interference, and nothing could be heard until his cold voice broke the icy silence.“I will.”Harmonia heaved a sigh of relief, feeling worried as she said, “But rescuing someone from Kenwood Mansion won't be easy, right? That place is definitely a dangerous spot. How do you plan on rescuing him? Furthermore, we can't guarantee that this isn't a scheme orchestrated by Castell.”Having finally received news of Absalom, of course, it couldn't be given up on, but the authenticity of the news also needed to be confirmed.Dimas simply smiled without answering Harmonia's question but instead changed the topic and asked, “Monia, what did you have for dinner tonight?”Just as Harmonia was about to answer, a knock sounded at the door. Her heart jumped, and she acted swiftly and quickly tucked the phone under the blanket.She then pretended to be
