Harmony stood up gracefully, flashing a smile at them. âI didnât crash the banquet, I came with my boyfriend. Now, if youâll excuse me,â she said and made her way towards Ezekiel.
Before she even reached him, he had already taken her hand and affectionately ruffled her hair. âSorry to have kept you waiting.â
âItâs alright! Iâm happy to wait!â Harmony beamed brightly.
The two women behind her suddenly felt as if they had been slapped in the face by the silent air, feeling both embarrassed and hurt.
They hadnât expected that their casual mockery of Harmony would backfire so spectacularly. This man, as handsome as the heir of the Presgrave Family, was actually her boyfriend!
Samantha, who had been driven out, could only return to her car, but her unwillingness made her determined to retaliate. Just now, her client had called to cancel the deal; she no longer needed to seduce Ezekiel and was given 15 thousand as a consolation.
â15 thousand isnât even enough for me to buy a bag. Itâs so insulting.â Samantha gritted her teeth in anger.
âAlright, letâs find the next target.â Her agent handed her a file. â50 years old, just divorced, with assets around 700 million. If you can secure him, getting 30 million will be no problem.â
Samantha glanced at the photo, crossed her arms, and huffed, âHeâs old and ugly. I wonât do it! Why can Harmony find a wealthy hunk? What am I lacking?!â She was driven mad by Harmony.
âHarmony just got lucky. And we all know whether she can have the last laugh. Sheâs only that rich scionâs plaything. Certainly, he will be tired of her in a year at most.â
Samantha couldnât help but grit her teeth. âYou have no idea how much Mr. Weiss likes her. He only has eyes for her and no other women. If one day she becomes Mrs. Weiss, Iâll be beneath her for the rest of my life.â
âWhat do you want to do?â
âI want to defeat her. I want to ruin her reputation and make her lose Mr. Weissâ favor.â At that, she dialed a media personâs number. âIâll pay 150 thousand; you find all the dirt on Harmony and expose it again.â
âLeave it to us! Weâll tell a compelling story.â
âFabricate as much as you can, preferably turning her image into a rotten b*tch who will stop at nothing to climb the social ladder.â
âDonât worry! We have plenty of material that fits her image!â
Finally, venting a bit of her frustration, Samantha exhaled a murky breath and said, âBetter at last.â
âDo you have no better use for that 150 thousand than on the media?!â Her agent sighed helplessly.
Just then, Samantha picked up her phone to check the trending list and saw herself on it. The headline read, âActress Impeded at Banquet, in a Sorry State.
âUgh! I canât believe these reporters wrote about me like this!â Samanthaâs chest heaved in anger as she demanded her agent. âGet this trending topic down!â
âWith such high traffic, it will cost at least 700 thousand to get it down. Where do we get that kind of money? Just let it hang there! Itâs not the first time weâve gone viral.â The agent didnât want to deal with it anymore because Samantha wasnât making her any money.
Samantha glared at the banquet hall of the hotel. This trending topic was all thanks to Harmony, she wouldnât let her off so easily.
Meanwhile, at the banquet, Ezekiel introduced Harmony to Jared, and Harmony, being in the most prestigious circle, had only ever heard of Jared, a top-tier wealthy heir, but had no chance to meet him.
Now, she realized that Ezekiel was on the same level as Jared.
She was very humble and polite to the guests around Ezekiel, and indeed, she was a well- behaved companion.
