Chapter 7 Ex-husband Fell Out With Mistress, Continues to Be a Trending Topic

Hector furrowed his brow and said, “It’s about the restoration of the Empyrean Tower. I plan to have Marshtown Studio compete with Terran Construction in the bidding. However, Kurt is against this idea.”

Marshtown Studio was a gift from Hector to Harmonia after her graduation, but over the years, it had made no significant progress.

As the Marsh family did not make their fortune doing construction, the studio’s existence had become a thorn in the eyes of some shareholders.

Furthermore, she had secretly made negotiations and then handed over all of the three groundbreaking construction projects, which amazed the world, to Absalom and Terran Construction.

Looking back, Harmonia realized how foolish she had been in the past.

Now, with Marshtown Studio stagnating, she felt responsible for the situation.

“Is Kurt against it because the Terran family is a heavyweight in the construction industry? And he thinks Marshtown Studio stands no chance and it would embarrass Marsh Consortium?”

Hector nodded. “Yes.”

“Hector, when does the bidding for the Empyrean Tower start?”

“On Monday at 1 p.m., in South Pearl Hall.”

Monday? That was the day before the graduation ceremony at Nilus City University.

There would not be any scheduling conflicts. In fact, it seemed quite convenient.

“Hector, entrust the team to me in secret. I’ll lead the bid this time!”

Hector was pleasantly surprised. He smiled and affirmed. “Your divorce was worth it.”

His confident and radiant sister had returned!

…

At this moment, inside the hospital, Absalom placed the paternity test report in front of Luna.

“Have you come up with any explanation for this?”

On his way here, the news had already spread across the Internet. Luna, being involved, must have heard about it.

Luna grasped his clothing. With a pleading gaze, she said, “Harmonia must have fabricated this. She’s trying to sabotage our relationship!”

“Relationship? Do we even have a relationship? I wasn’t aware of that," Absalom’s expression was indifferent, and his tone was cold.

Luna’s face was as white as a sheet. She was trembling. “Ab, please… You have to trust me. The baby really was your child.”

“I’ve sent the embryo tissue from your abortion for testing.”

As soon as he said that, Luna’s eyes widened in shock. She was utterly taken aback.

Seeing her reaction, Absalom knew that there was no need for a second test.

“Since you had the guts to lie to me, you should have been prepared to bear the consequences!”

He was ruthlessly decisive as he turned and left.

Luna’s shoulders quivered, and her body went limp. It was as though her core had been ripped away from her. She slumped into the hospital bed.

She could not understand how this report had leaked when she had chosen the most private paternity testing facility in Nilus City.

If it was indeed Harmonia’s doing, how could she have such capabilities?

However, she could not dwell on these thoughts now.

After the bankruptcy of the Woods family, it was through Absalom and the support of the Terran family that she was able to live a comfortable life and secure her position in high society.

At this moment, she had to find a way out and secure her future.

She quickly dialed her mother’s number. “Mom, please help me. Implore my godfather to help me.”

…

The Absalom and Luna scandal continued to escalate!

In order to prevent it from affecting their stock prices, Terran Construction’s PR department immediately issued a statement denying any involvement.

The statement emphasized that the child was never Absalom’s and that he had always treated Luna as a sister due to their families being close, with no improper relationships whatsoever.

Harmonia had anticipated this and had instructed Alessia accordingly.

Soon after, Aureole Media’s paid Internet trolls sprouted up like mushrooms after rain.
