Harmonia stared at the video Dominic showed her.“Watch a silly dog video and have a dopamine boost,” Dominic said. She smiled and started watching the video seriously. “Thanks, Mr. Weber.”Tessy’s expression stiffened. She knew that they were mocking her and Luna for being b*tches, but she could only remain smiling and leave with Luna. No matter what, they were at the investment fair. More than half of the people in Nilus City’s business circle were here. She could not afford to make a fool of herself. Absalom did not defend them both either. He just watched how Harmonia was smiling at Dominic, and his expression turned cold. Then, Dominic greeted Absalom, who only responded with a grunt and said nothing else. Soon, the hall’s lights dimmed, and the investment fair began. The emcee began trying to liven the atmosphere, and it was followed by musicians performing. After the lively opening, they began promoting the shows. The investment fair made use of a brand-new mod
Then, Dimas said, “Tell them that you trust Absalom’s judgment.”Dominic smiled and said kindly, “I trust Mr. Terran’s judgment.Harmonia turned and gave Dominic a smile and a nod. Alessia, who stood at the back of the crowd, sent Harmonia a message. [Mr. Weber is so smart. If he said that he trusts your judgment, those media companies who love making groundless accusations will immediately begin making up a story about a May-December romance.[But he said he trusts Absalom’s judgment! Wanna bet whether they’re going to write a story of a love between men where Absalom and Dominic insist on being together despite what the people say about them?]Indeed. If Dominic had gone along with what Mark said, then the gossipmongers around them would misinterpret his words, even if he meant nothing by that. Once the investment fair ended, the business owners began sucking up to each other, promoting each other, and exchanging contact numbers. At that point, Harmonia had completed her
“Have you lost your mind?”Not only did she slap him, she even asked him to beg for her to come back?All humans had their dignity, and to beg meant to cast it away!He had never begged anyone for anything before!Harmonia snickered. “A good ex should always act like he’s dead. “But a certain ex of mine just keeps showing up in front of me after we got a divorce. He keeps using all kinds of tactics, be it trying to coerce me or persuade me, back into that ridiculous marriage that has already ended.”Then, she shoved Absalom away and flung her hair behind her back. “Do I really need to tell you just who is the one who has lost their mind here?”Harmonia turned around. She left with an unwavering heart, and she did not even turn back to look at him. But she knew that before a person decided to leave another, they would take a long time to make that decision. She was the same. How could she have forgotten the love she’d had for him for five years?But she did not want
But now, it was just as he said. She had already gotten a divorce from Absalom and had nothing to do with the Terran family anymore. So, what right did he have to raise his voice at her?Was it just because Absalom saved her?If she could choose, she would not have Absalom save her, even if it meant that the lighting stand would have fallen on her. Besides, she could have dodged it at that time. Harmonia stood up from her chair. “Mr. Terran, I can understand you feeling bad for your son, but there are security cameras in Telebroadcast Co, and I’m sure they recorded the lighting stand’s fall. You can check the footage to see whether I needed Absalom to save me. Is it so hard for you to come to a conclusion after you’ve checked the security footage?“Also, I remember very clearly that the law states that as a married couple, it’s only right for me to share your son’s fortune. Absalom is the one who cheated, so why should I take nothing from the marriage when I get a divorce? Is
Suddenly, a cold voice rose behind them. It was Harmonia. She stood in the corridor and had said those words calmly, but there was an indescribable strength in her voice.They looked over at her, and their eyes were filled with shock. Even the nurse’s eyes flew wide open, and she was in disbelief. There were four people in the hospital with the rare AB negative blood type?!Felix huffed angrily and was clearly displeased with Harmonia. “A poor peasant like you is unworthy of donating blood to my son!”Holly shouted right back in anger, “What’s the difference?! She’s human, just like you and me! Do you want Absalom to die?!”Felix was then able to tell what was more important in the situation. He instantly fell silent and stood to the side while feeling frustrated. Monica teared up as she looked at Harmonia and thanked her. “Thank you, Harmonia.”The nurse turned to Harmonia. “Come with me.”Harmonia left with her. “I’ll go with her!” Once Monica brought Holly to a chair
It came to a stop in front of them, and Ginevra stepped out. As it turned out, she had rushed over after hearing the news. “Mom? Why are you here?”“How could I not after something like this happened? If I didn’t stop Hector from coming, he would have followed me too!”Harmonia immediately gave Ginevra a smile so that she could be at ease. “I’m fine, Mom.”“Thank goodness you’re okay.” Ginevra held Harmonia’s hands and started rubbing them. “Why are your hands so cold? And why do you look so sick? Did you have a bad scare?”“She’s fine, Mrs. Marsh. She just looks like this because she donated blood to Absalom.”Ginevra’s eyelids twitched. She became even more worried. Then, Harmonia said goodbye to Alessia and got into Ginevra’s car. They went to Heron Bay Villa. The moment they got out of the car, Hector ran over to Harmonia. Knowing that Hector was worried, Ginevra immediately said, “Monia’s fine. She just donated blood to Absalom. Let’s have her go upstairs to rest.”
“I’ll keep it.” Harmonia took the oxygen tank. Then, Mr. Smith bade her goodnight and left. Harmonia opened her luggage and started organizing her belongings. At some point, she saw Dimas’s suit jacket. She did not know what to do with the oxygen tank and the suit, so she decided to put the oxygen tank inside the luggage as well, close it, and shove the luggage into a corner of her walk-in closet. Since she owed Dimas a suit jacket, she took out her phone and sent him a message. [Mr. Martinez, I’ve already returned to Nilus City. Could you call me when you’re free? I’d like to give you a new suit jacket as compensation.]Right after she sent the message, her phone rang. It was an unsaved number, but Harmonia had a photographic memory and could remember that this was Dimas’s phone number. She answered, and his voice came through. “I just landed in Nilus City five minutes ago.”Harmonia was stunned for a grand total of three seconds. Why did he sound like he was telling
On it were the records of the hospital where Hector was abandoned and how no one wanted to adopt him until Safan and Ginevra did. Hector was not Safan’s illegitimate son, as everyone was saying. He had no blood ties with the Marsh family at all. He was not Harmonia’s biological brother. Dimas raised an eyebrow at this. His expression was cold as he threw the report into a shredder. As the machine whirred, the report was reduced to shreds. Dimas picked up his phone and checked the trending hashtags of the day. When he saw the intimate photo and saw how Harmonia whispered into Absalom’s ear, his eyes flew wide open in shock. Suddenly, someone knocked on the door. “Mr. Martinez, this is the security footage of the accident at Telebroadcast Co’s Hall 1,” Dominic said respectfully. Right after Dimas heard of the accident, he had Dominic head to Telebroadcast Co. to obtain the security footage. Mark was famous for being stubborn, so no other reporter or tycoon could pry t
