Ezekiel abruptly pulled her back into his embrace. “That will depend on whether you can manage the substantial termination fee.”
Sophia nodded. “Whichever way, get it done as soon as possible”
She put her tablet aside and let out a sigh. A wave of self-blame washed over her. She had acted too impulsively this time, almost jeopardizing her son’s happiness.
She went downstairs to keep her mother company. Cecelia asked, “Did you find anything?”
*The person gave me their account number, and I’ve sent Leia to verify it.”
“This person is clearly up to no good,” Cecelia said angrily, then turned to her daughter. “Sophia, when you married Artie, our family wasn’t well-off. But you’ve come a long way, and you know better than anyone that true happiness can only be found when two people love each other.”
Sophia nodded. “Mom, I was wrong.” After a pause, she confessed, “I also made a mistake. I met
Harmony privately.”
Cecelia was surprised, “What? You met her privately?! What did you say to her?”
“I… I thought she was a promiscuous girl because of the photos, so I… I hoped she would leave
Ezekiel on her own.”
“You’re too impulsive, Sophia. I understand that you’re worried about who Ezekiel’s future wife will be, but you can’t act so rashly!” Cecelia looked at her daughter.
“I will apologize to Miss Mayo, Sophia said. She glanced at the time; it was past 9 p.m. It seemed her son had gone to Harmony.
“You’re just too concerned about Ezekiel.”
“Yes, when I met Miss Mayo today, I could tell that she’s not a bad person. Her eyes are pure, her demeanor is good, and she doesn’t seem like someone who would do anything for money.”
“I’ve asked around for you. I have a friend in the industry; her daughter-in-law is in the entertainment business. She said that Harmony is a hardworking and ambitious girl, but she never picked up any bad habits from the industry. She’s a genuine person.”
Sophia was surprised that her mother had also looked into it. “Mom, you’re really invested in this!”
“Of course, I have my eyes set on her to be my granddaughter-in-law.”
Sophia sighed. “I can’t believe I was manipulated. It’s truly frustrating.”
Meanwhile, Yunna stared at her phone, waiting for the transfer of 150 thousand. However, she waited for a while and didn’t receive any transfer information. She became alert. Is Mrs. Weiss intentionally testing me? Could she have seen through my plan?
At that moment, she quickly packed her bags and prepared to leave. She had to get as far away as possible.
Harmony had returned to the hotel to rest after the gala. On the way, Sera informed her that her encounter with Jensen that night had already sparked a heated discussion on the internet. Owned by N?velDrama.Org.
“Look, someone even found photos of the two of you on campus! I don’t know who took them,” Sera said, then sighed. “Jensen is a decent guy. It would be good if you can develop a relationship with him.”
Harmony couldn’t help but feel bitter. “Sera, is what I’m doing really right? What will Ezekiel do when he sees this? Will it provoke him?”
“When he comes to confront you, you can only use this as an excuse. Otherwise, how will he give up on you? And how will you explain it to his mother?” Sera said.
Just then, the doorbell of Harmony’s hotel room rang. “It must be the food delivery,” said Sera. “I’ll get the door.”
When Sera opened the door, she was taken aback and stepped back in disbelief. The man outside the door appeared somewhat disheveled and was panting, clearly having run all the way here.
It was Ezekiel!
Sera was startled. She knew Ezekiel would come to find Harmony, but she didn’t expect him to arrive so quickly.
“Harmony… Harmony…” Sera quickly called out to the girl on the couch.
Harmony was already feeling tired. Without looking up, she murmured, “Sera, I don’t have much of an appetite. You go ahead and eat. I just need some rest for a little while.”
Sera was about to greet Ezekiel when she noticed him raise a finger to his lips, signaling her to be quiet and asking her to leave.
Under his intense gaze, Sera had no choice but to obediently depart.
Unaware that the person behind her was not Sera, Harmony closed her eyes, feeling completely exhausted. She was not only physically tired but also emotionally drained.
The light illuminated her face, with her closed eyes and furrowed brows revealing her unhappiness.
On his way there, Ezekiel had thought of many questions to ask her. He wanted to inquire why she was so close to that man. He wanted her to explain. He wanted to compel her to say that she only loved him. However, when he finally approached her and saw her beautiful, doll-like face, all his anger dissipated. All he desired now was to hold her in his arms.
“Sera, can you massage my shoulders? They’re so sore!” Harmony pleaded, still with her eyes closed.
So, Ezekiel extended his hands and gently massaged her shoulders. Harmony enjoyed it for a while, but then she sensed something was off. Why were Sera’s fingers so long, and why was the pressure stronger?
Thus, she opened her eyes only to find a certain someone.
“Ah!” Harmony sat up in fright, looking incredulously at the man standing behind her, stuttering, “You…
What are you doing here?”
Ezekiel gazed at her with a mixture of helplessness and annoyance. “What do you think? I sent so many messages. Why didn’t you reply? Why were you walking arm-in-arm with another man? Why didn’t you call me? Do you know how worried I was?” He bombarded her with all the questions that had been bothering him the entire journey.
Harmony was somewhat dazed by his questions. Although she had answers, she dared not speak them.
“I…” Harmony immediately recalled his mother’s words. She bit her lip and finally said, “That man is my senior, the one I… I have liked since my student days. Ezekiel, I… I feel too inferior in front of you. I’m not good enough for you. Everyone knows I’m not good enough for you, so… let’s break up!”
Her words were stuttered as if she had lost the ability to articulate.
Ezekiel stood with arms akimbo, his eyes fixed on her. Have I come all this way for you to break up with me here?! Text ? owned by N?velDrama.Org.
“Harmony, I’ve told you before, once you’ve slept with me, you’re responsible for life. Whether you’re good enough or not, it’s not up to others to decide. It’s up to me. Besides, don’t you know whether we’re compatible or not?”
His latter words were filled with ambiguity. Harmony also caught on, her pretty face blushing as she turned her head away.
“I don’t care who you liked before. From now on, you’re mine, and you can only have feelings for me.”
Ezekiel declared dominantly, something he had never done to anyone before.
