“Have you found Absalom?" Liam lowered his head and honestly replied, “There's still no news yet.”“Keep searching. We must find Absalom. Only by finding him can we know why my note ended up in Harmonia's hands.”“Don't worry, we've done our best to search. I believe we'll have news in a few days.”Mauricius nodded and asked again, “Has all the information on Harmonia been checked?”Liam dared not raise his head and truthfully said, “We only found her name, date of birth, and gender. We were one step late in our investigation, and all information about her on the internet has been hidden. There’s some difficulty as it’s an international investigation, so I’ve already sent people to Nilus City. I believe we'll have results soon.”Mauricius stood up straight with his hands behind his back.“You're not just late by one step. I’m guessing that even before Harmonia arrived in the capital, all her information had already been processed.”When Liam heard this from Mauricius, he raise
“So, Dimas, you're a super masochist?”Dimas gave him a sharp look.Jasper was frightened and cried out, “Dimas, shall I kneel to you?”With the backing of his maternal family, Jasper always walked with an air of superiority among his brothers. However, when it came to Dimas, he could only kneel.Jasper was about to kneel to Dimas without a second thought, but before his knees could touch the floor, Dimas' shoe tip stopped him. He lifted his leg slightly, forcing Jasper to straighten up his legs, unable to kneel.“Stand up straight!”“Oh! Dimas! I know you still love me!” Jasper trembled in fear, summoning the courage to give Dimas a hug.“Get lost!”Jasper's hands, eager for an embrace, froze in mid-air, but he was good at finding a way out for himself. He obediently stood aside and then gave himself a loving hug.Rio didn't find it strange. After all, it was a common practice for Jasper. “Dimas, I'm sorry. I really am. I shouldn't have barged in from the beginning…”“Yo
Dimas's lips curled coldly, and the air instantly froze.Rio felt like Jasper was hopeless. He couldn't differentiate between good and bad, and he spoke without thinking. Who else would get beaten if not him?Dimas took a few steps forward, getting closer to Jasper.Jasper hadn't realized the situation yet and stammered, “D-Dimas, did I say something wrong?”“No, I just want to shake your hand.”“Oh, okay!” Jasper reached out his hand and put it in Dimas's hand.The next second—“Ahhh! Dimas, please spare me!”Rio covered his eyes but peeked through his fingers. He saw Jasper being thrown onto the single sofa that was aside. The sofa shook a few times, and he ended up on the floor.After being handled by Dimas, Jasper finally behaved.Dimas pulled him up and pressed him onto the sofa.“I can't go to Snow Manor, but you can. Do you understand what I mean?”This was a rule set by their mother. He couldn't disrespect her, but there was no rule against him finding a loophole.
The driver and the woman nodded repeatedly, and the car doors opened. They quickly got out of the car.Harmonia sat in the driver's seat and immediately stepped on the gas, speeding away.The driver and the woman watched as the luxurious car disappeared in three seconds.Was that a racing car?! That was too fast!The two looked at each other and were speechless as they were too shocked to say anything.Suddenly, footsteps sounded. Rio had already arrived with the bodyguards.“The two of you know me, right?”The driver and the woman were taken aback and nodded hastily.Who didn't know Rio? He was Dimas’ bodyguard! How could they not know?“Come with me, then. His Highness, the Fourth Prince, wants to have a chat with you.”The two could only lower their heads and leave with Rio.-Harmonia drove toward the dance studio, following the routes described by the driver. She didn't hesitate at all with every turn. It was clearly her first time here, yet the road felt familiar, a
She looked extremely anxious as she spoke. “She…”Jenell was about to speak, but Harmonia arrived at this moment.Snowflakes fell from her hair, and her fair cheeks were tinged with red from the cold. She looked stunningly beautiful and graceful.“The road outside is slippery. I went to the car to get something for the Queen, so I was delayed a little.”As Harmonia spoke, her eyes sparkled.Nara was visibly panicked. Her earlier words were meant to criticize Harmonia and guide Jenell to blame her. But now, she said that she actually went to get something for Jenell?! She wasn't late at all! Wasn't she just slapping herself in the face?!Nara was so angry she almost fainted. She was thinking about how to smooth things over, but Harmonia had already taken the initiative to do so.“Nara, I'm really sorry to keep you waiting for so long. I'm new here, and I’m not familiar with the place. I'm also a novice driver. The snowy road is slippery, and it’s not convenient to drive as vis
Nara was completely dumbfounded. Where exactly had this woman come from?Dimas hugged her with one arm and gently stroked her head with the other.“You’d be adding to your mistakes? Who dares to say you're wrong? Who dares to say you're adding to your mistakes?” His deep voice was so authoritative, and when he said this, he was looking directly at Nara.Nara hurriedly shook her head, “It wasn't me! I didn't say she was wrong, Dimi, I really didn’t!” Dimas sneered, “You’d better not.” Enough said. One would take desperate measures if really pushed to a dead end. Jenell immediately spoke up to smooth things over, “Alright, it's all just a misunderstanding. Over the next three months, Harmonia and Nara will train and be assessed together. You should help each other.” After Jenell intervened, the matter was resolved.Nara heaved a sigh of relief and quickly tried to act amicable as she said, “Harmonia and I will definitely help each other. You can rest assured.” “Thank you,
He chuckled and held her hand with both hands. When Harmonia saw her own hand being held, she intentionally looked at Nara and continued to express concern, “Nara, if you're feeling cold, remember to wear more clothes.”Nara was infuriated and felt like exploding. Her expression was already unpleasant, and now, her face looked like it was almost contorted, but she still had to maintain the most basic smile.She was an elegant young lady, and she absolutely could not lose her composure!He curled his lips and asked, “Is the temperature okay?”“Mm-hmm, it’s fine.”“Can I get a five-star rating?” A hint of mischief flashed in his eyes.Harmonia was dumbfounded. Wasn’t the act almost over at this point? Why was he still asking for a five-star rating?“How do I give one?” She asked, puzzled.His eyes deepened, and he laughed faintly as he held her hand and raised it, planting a kiss on the back of her hand.This was a smooth move! Harmonia was completely taken aback as she widene
However, she felt an elbow striking her, causing her short stature to stumble several steps back before she could push Harmonia against the wall. Mrs. Fanny’s abdomen hurt, and she felt as if her stomach acid was about to erupt. She did not expect Harmonia to react quickly and make such a sudden move. Nara hurriedly urged, “Mrs. Fanny, don't just stand there! Hurry up and help me pin this woman down!”Mrs. Fanny snapped out of it and immediately prepared to charge forward, but the next second, two shiny pistols appeared.One was aimed at Nara, and the other at Mrs. Fanny. Nara was utterly dumbfounded. Mrs. Fanny also froze in place and was afraid to advance. Harmonia looked at them, recalling the driver and woman who had taken her on a detour earlier. She finally understood why Dimi had deliberately put two small pistols in her pocket before she left. He had anticipated that things wouldn't go smoothly for her.This was the second time the pistols were being used! “Are
