Goodness. The ninth place? Harmonia checked BuildEasy’s rules for increasing rank. Then, she understood that the ranking was based on the company’s scale, orders received, the difficulty of the orders, and the importance they held. Even if the Empyrean Tower’s order was not keyed into BuildEasy, based on its importance and difficulty, Marshtown Studios still got some points for it. Taking this into account, Marshtown Studios had been dead last before they secured the Empyrean Tower project. … The next day, Nilus City University of Architecture drew its curtains for its convocation. It was Nilus City University’s 100th anniversary. Thus, this year’s convocation received a lot of attention. Almost all the high-profile people in Nilus City were here. Harmonia and Hector showed up at the same time. They were extremely eye-catching. Many students were wondering if they were dating. Absalom heard the discussions all around. So, he looked toward Harmonia and Hector. He
Who could forget that Nilus University had a most mysterious valedictorian? That year there were no traditions and no passing of the Legacy Crown. However, that person had amazing grades! It was said she was the best engineer in almost a hundred years, a genius if you will. And now, she was here!Under everyone’s gazes of anticipation as they looked around, Harmonia stood up from her seat. She followed the hostess and strode up on stage. The second Harmonia walked up onto the stage, everyone exclaimed with surprise. “What? The new person in charge of Marshtown Studio is that mysterious genius from our university?”“Oh my gosh! Who would have guessed that the best person in Terran Construction was actually Mr. Terran’s wife?”“Ahem, to be precise. It's his ex-wife.”In the audience seat, Hector was unfazed. He was smiling as he watched Harmonia. His sister should have had all eyes on her and been star-studded like this all along!On the other hand, Absalom’s handsome featur
The chancellor was startled when Harmonia shouted at him to stop. He thought he had lost this opportunity!However, to everyone’s surprise, Harmonia took out her smartphone and opened an app.“Mr. Chancellor, please place an order on BuildEasy for formality’s sake.”The chancellor let out a sigh of relief. “Oh, you mean BuildEasy? I have this on my phone. It’s very convenient and popular. I placed orders on this app when I was building a house in my hometown.”Harmonia did not know how to reply to that. Soon enough, on behalf of Nilus City University of Architecture, the chancellor placed an order with Marshtown Studio.After all the approvals were granted, Marshtown Studio gloriously made it to number eight of the top ten companies on BuildEasy with two major orders!…After leaving the chancellor’s office, they ran into Alessia, who was leading a photography team taking pictures around the campus and coordinating with the promotional team to upload all sorts of posts online
That was Luna’s last card! She knew she could not clear her name. So, in desperation, she wanted to drag Harmonia down with her.However, what Luna never expected was that, following Harmonia’s instructions, Alessia had already released the second video!The video footage showed Luna drinking the abortion medicine herself!The students and university officials who had gathered around the scene witnessed the latest trending topic.The crowd began to discuss it.“So, she drank it herself, didn’t she? How could she try to frame someone else like that?” “The timestamp in the corner of the video showed it’s from six days ago in the afternoon!”“Does she think we’re all blind? She drank the medicine herself. She’s got blood all over the lower part of her body. Then, she was taken to the hospital in an ambulance. Yet now she’s trying to frame someone innocent here?”Luna heard the discussions around her. Her eyes widened and she was gasping for air.“How… How is this possible? Why d
Absalom pointed at Luna.Luna was filled with joy. Her eyes were brimming with tears as she called out, “Ab...”He gave her the hope to live. So, in his mind, she was more important than Harmonia.In her excitement, Luna looked toward Harmonia and arrogantly raised her chin.Harmonia did not feel bothered at all. In fact, she even thought it was ridiculous. Why would she need to prove her worth through a foolish man’s choice?Suddenly, Leo began to laugh. He shook his head while clicking his tongue.“Looks like your wife of five years can’t compare to your childhood sweetheart who came into your life first!”With that, Leo tossed a pair of handcuffs to Absalom’s feet.“Mr. Terran, please handcuff yourself and walk over here! If you dare to play any tricks, I’ll kill all of you!”Absalom bent down to pick up the handcuffs. He followed Leo’s instructions and quickly put them on his wrists. Step by step, he walked over to where Leo stood.Leo then restrained Absalom with swift m
“Harmonia, that was too reckless! Do you even realize what could have happened if he had pressed the detonator?” Her somersault had left Harmonia drained as she had not fully recovered in the first place. She could barely muster any strength now. She leaned against a nearby railing without giving Absalom another look. “No matter how risky it was, I had to save myself.” She would never let go of any opportunity to save herself. Dying here was not on her agenda, and she definitely did not want to die because of him and Luna. Harmonia exerted herself and pushed his hands away. “Harmonia, I saved her because...” “You have the right to save her.” Harmonia had carried a massive burden in her heart for years. Even after the divorce, that weight had been hard to remove. However, the moment Absalom made that decision, she was finally freed from that weight. Although her heart suffered during the process, her heart would no longer be held hostage. She walked toward the door.
Suddenly, his phone rang.“Hello?”“Hey, Ab, where are you? Mom and Dad are having a big fight. You need to come home right away!”Loud banging noises came from the other end of the call.Absalom remembered that today was the day his mother and sister were flying back to their home country.“I got it.”He wore a grave expression. He let out a sigh and changed direction to head toward the Terran family’s mansion.…Absalom arrived at the Terran family’s mansion.“You have the audacity to show your face here?”Holly Terran was furious as soon as she saw him and began yelling at him.“The other day, you said you wanted to throw a welcoming party for your Uncle Dimas. Even though he’s just a year older than you, he’s still your uncle. I was pleased that you were being so considerate, but that joy didn’t last long!“While I took your sister overseas for a trip, you got a divorce and got involved in such a huge scandal! Now, this is just great! It turns out that Harmonia is the m
Dimas’ arrival brought an instant calm to the heated atmosphere in the mansion.“Uncle Dimas? What brings you here at this hour?”Monica’s eyes sparkled at the sight of Dimas. Their help had arrived!“I just finished a venture capital meeting. I heard you guys were back, and I had something to discuss with Absalom, so I thought I’d drop by,” Dimas spoke calmly and unhurriedly.However, the next moment, he had a smile on his face as he changed the subject.“Though it seems I might have picked the wrong time to visit.”Holly let out a snort of anger. She folded her arms and sat on a single-seat sofa on the side.Felix remained silent as well. The atmosphere had somehow quietened down again as they had temporarily stopped their quarrel.Absalom looked at Dimas and asked, “Uncle Dimas, what do you want to talk to me about?”“It’s nothing serious,” Dimas replied. He handed a file folder to Absalom.Absalom furrowed his brows. He recalled the divorce gift Harmonia gave him on the d
