NovelEnglishShe was extremely nervous while holding onto Cindy just now. “Mr. Weiss, my legs are shaking. What should | do?” she asked. She was not being tic, 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. B Catalina spotted Harmony’s MPV, too. At the stime, 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 intewas 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.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmA moment later, when Ruby showed up in her car, she tossed a bank card to her at once. “Here’s 150 thousand.
Own 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 giveonly 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 wantto give you away, right?” Despite her bitter reluctance, Catalina had no choice but to give Ruby 500 thousand to settle the matter.
Ruby then went to the TV station and admitted her guilt. She was fired instantly. On top of that, she had to pay damages to the TV station for tonight's incident, which totaled exactly 500 thousand. She was flabbergasted right away. “Sir, how am | supposed to pay such a large sum?!” “Do you think this money will go to our TV station? It's the sum we have to pay Harmony in compensation!” “What? You mean this money goes to her?” “That's right! We just spoke to her agent. She agrees not to make a fuss about this, but we have to pay them 500 thousand in compensation. This is your fault. If you refuse to pay the sum, we’ll have no choice but to have you jailed for a couple of years.” Ruby was so angry that she nearly fainted as a result. Consequently, Catalina’s money ended up going to Harmony instead.
Meanwhile, Harmony was in her apartment, having a cup of tea to calm her nerves after the incident. She was content to hear Sera settle things in private with the TV station. As this matter could not be blown out of proportion, it was better to resolve it quietly.
“That's settled, then. Harmony, we've negotiated a deal with the TV station. They'll pay us 500 thousand in compensation, and we'll stop pursuing the matter.”
