Chapter 19 Harmonia or Your Mistress, You Can Only Save One, Mr. Terran
That was Luna’s last card! She knew she could not clear her name. So, in desperation, she wanted to drag Harmonia down with her.
However, what Luna never expected that, following Harmonia’s
was instructions, Alessia had already released the second video!
The video footage showed Luna drinking the abortion medicine herself!
The students and university officials who had gathered around the scene witnessed the latest trending topic.
The crowd began to discuss it.
“So, she drank it herself, didn’t she? How could she try to frame someone else like that?”
“The timestamp in the corner of the video showed it’s from six days. ago in the afternoon!”
“Does she think we’re all blind? She drank the medicine herself. She’s got blood all over the lower part of her body. Then, she was taken to the hospital in an ambulance. Yet now she’s trying to frame someone innocent here?”
Luna heard the discussions around her. Her eyes widened and she was gasping for air.
“How… How is this possible? Why do you have this video? How did this happen?”
Luna’s expression turned frantic. She shook her head continuously.
Harmonia pulled her wrist away. She sneered. “If you don’t want

others to know, you shouldn’t have done it in the first place. Shouldn’t you know something so simple?”
With that, Harmonia turned away effortlessly and left.
Luna was completely out of options now.
“Aargh!” She had lost her composure completely. Just as she lunged toward Harmonia, the security team arrived just in time and held her back!
Today was the graduation ceremony at Nilus University, and it coincided with its centenary celebration. However, it was marred by Luna’s actions and cast a shadow over the event.
On the other hand, at the recruitment booth of Marshtown Studio near the northern gate, things were bustling.
They did not close until it was dark.
“Ah, I’m such a scatterbrain.” Louis tapped his forehead. “I left the resumes we collected this morning at the Academic Affairs Office.”
“Drive your car to the entrance of the Administrative Building. I’ll go get the resumes from the Academic Affairs Office. It will save us more time.”
“Okay. They’re on the empty table near the entrance of the Academic Affairs Office.”
Harmonia nodded and headed toward the Academic Affairs Office.
As she walked into the Academic Affairs Office, a pungent smell hit her. A hand suddenly covered her mouth and nose from behind.
Harmonia had practiced karate since she was a child and was a first- degree black belt. However, just as she was about to fight back, an icy cold gun pressed against her waist.

No matter how fast she was, she could not move faster than a bullet
Moreover, although she held her breath in time, she still inhaled some
of the gas.
Harmonia’s consciousness began to blur. Her limbs showed signs of weakness. With her last ounce of strength, she dropped the ring on her little finger on the ground.
Then, she lost consciousness.completely.
When Harmonia regained consciousness, she found herself in a large
warehouse.
In the dim light, she saw a woman before her.
“Luna. So, you were behind all of this?” Harmonia was not surprised in the least.
“Harmonia, you ruined me. There’s no way I’ll let you off!”
Luna snickered and delivered a harsh slap to Harmonia’s face.
A resounding “smack” echoed through the room. The corner of Harmonia’s lip began to bleed.
“All that’s happening now is what you brought upon yourself. But don’t worry, before you die, there is something I want you to understand! You will die after you learn the truth!”
As Luna said that, she handcuffed herself and sat down not far away.
Harmonia was speechless and wondered if Luna had lost her mind.
As time ticked away, Harmonia’s strength gradually returned.
Suddenly, a blinding light illuminated the room. Absalom, who was alerted to the situation, rushed here.

The kidnapper held two guns, with one pointed at Harmonia and the other at Luna.
“Mr. Terran, did you bring the money?”
“Everything you asked for is right here.”
With that, Absalom brought out a few boxes. He opened them for the kidnapper to inspect before closing them again. Then, he pushed them forward.
The kidnapper grinned with satisfaction. “Mr. Terran, you see, we have your childhood sweetheart on one side and your ex-wife on the other. How about we play a little game?”
With both Harmonia and Luna in his hands, Absalom had no choice but to cautiously engage.
“What kind of game?”
“Trade yourself for one of them.”
Luna, who was sitting beside Harmonia, turned pale as she heard the demand. “No!” This was not part of the deal she made with the
kidnapper!
Harmonia, who observed Luna’s reaction, quickly understood that Luna had been manipulated by this kidnapper. It was an incredibly foolish move on Luna’s part.
Absalom frowned. He looked at Harmonia and Luna.
“Leo, this is between us. You shouldn’t involve others!”
Leo Hoffman laughed. He clenched his teeth and said, “Mr. Terran, stop wasting time. Make a choice, or neither of them will walk away alive!”
“Ab…” Luna trembled in fear. Tears welled up in her eyes.
It was a life-or-death situation.
To say that Harmonia felt no fear would be impossible.
Yet, she merely pressed her lips together and said nothing. She strived to maintain her composure.
At that moment, it felt as if time had stopped. There was a dreadful
silence.
The power to choose rested in Absalom’s hands.
Absalom frowned. As Leo continued to urge him to make a choice, he
had no time to think.
“I choose her!”
