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.
âMr. Smith, is my brother back?â
âHe just set foot on Nilus City soil just under an hour ago.â
âIs he in his office? Iâll go find him.â
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.
âMiss Harmonia!â Mr. Smith stopped Harmonia. âMr. Hector is in the conference room. Today is the monthly shareholdersâ meeting.â
At that moment, two employees were chatting in a low voice.

âWho knows what those old shareholders are going to demand at todayâs shareholdersâ meeting.â
âLast month, they wanted us to prepare sashimi and hand-brewed coffee for them.â
âThey come here every month and always give Mr. Hector a hard time. What can he do? Everyone knows heâs an illegitimate child, and that makes him inferior in status.â
Mr. Smith was taken aback and quickly rebuked them. âWhat nonsense are you all talking about? Get back to work!â
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. âThe once awesome and formidable Miss Harmonia is back!â
Harmonia took the elevator straight to the meeting room.
She could hear the shareholders making mocking remarks from outside.
âHector, being the illegitimate child of the Marsh family, the fact that youâve managed to secure the position of CEO and get to where you are today is a favor bestowed upon you by me. So, youâd better not choose the wrong side!â
Thud!
