She was extremely nervous while holding onto Cindy just now. “Mr. Weiss, my legs are shaking. What should I do?”
she asked. She was not being dramatic, as her legs were shaking like jelly at that moment.
Ezekiel lowered his head and chuckled. “What else can you do? I’ll carry you,” he replied before scooping her up in
his arms.
Harmony buried her face in his chest, deciding not to care about whatever was happening outside. In any case, she
felt exhilarated right then.
At that moment, many reporters were around, naturally chasing after the couple to take pictures and thus
capturing the thrilling scene of her saving someone. Due to that, all media outlets were commending her brave act
of rescuing a person. Even the most authoritative TV stations also shared the news.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThis was something she had not anticipated. Her only thought back then was to save Cindy; she had never intended
to publicize her actions or boost her popularity because of this incident.
Sera breathed a sigh of relief as she watched Harmony being carried by Ezekiel.
After placing Harmony in her MPV, the man stood by the door, asking, “Are your legs still shaking?”
“They’re much better now. Thank you, Mr. Weiss.
“You did great tonight, but don’t do it again next time,” said Ezekiel sternly in all seriousness.
She blinked innocently.
Seeing her disheveled long hair, he could not help but reach out to smooth it. “Go back and rest early. Don’t think
about anything tonight. Just relax.”
“Okay!” She pursed her lips in a smile. With him around, it seemed like she did not need to think about anything.
Fame, live interviews… She could put all of these out of her mind.
Sera instructed the driver to start driving.
Catalina spotted Harmony’s MPV, too. At the same time, she saw Ezekiel standing on the roadside, seeing Harmony
off. Sitting in her car, she was immediately pissed off by what she saw.
She had thought tonight’s incident would make Harmony a laughingstock, but contrary to her expectations, she
ended up not only receiving praise but also gaining Ezekiel’s protection. Now, the internet was abuzz with reports of
tonight’s incident. She gained sympathy thanks to the TV station deliberately giving her a hard time, while her act
of saving someone drew praise from everyone.
“Damn it! She reaped all the benefits,” she cursed. I’ve turned a winning hand into a lousy one. Now, all she could
do was silence Ruby and forbid her from giving her away. Also, she had to pressure Ruby into admitting that all of
this was her doing.
A moment later, when Ruby showed up in her car, she tossed a bank card to her at once. “Here’s 150 thousand.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmOwn up to this, and don’t escalate things further.”
Ruby was greedy, though. She could own up to this, but she wanted more. “Catalina, it’s not quite right to give me
only 150 thousand for such a big deal, don’t you think?”
“How much do you want, then?”
“At least this much.” Ruby extended her palm.
“You want 500 thousand for just a script?”
“It’s not that simple anymore. Someone has almost died from this. Catalina, you wouldn’t want me to give you
away, right?”
Despite her bitter reluctance, Catalina had no choice but to give Ruby 500 thousand to settle the matter.
