SWNOVELS Chapter 23
Chapter 23 Do Everything He Can to Win Her Back
Dimas’ arrival brought an instant calm to the heated atmosphere in the mansion.
“Uncle Dimas? What brings you here at this hour?”
Monica’s eyes sparkled at the sight of Dimas. Their help had arrived!
“I just finished a venture capital meeting. I heard you guys were back, and I had something to discuss with Absalom, so I thought I’d drop by,” Dimas spoke calmly and unhurriedly.
However, the next moment, he had a smile on his face as he changed the subject.
“Though it seems I might have picked the wrong time to visit.”
Holly let out a snort of anger. She folded her arms and sat on a single- seat sofa on the side.
Felix remained silent as well. The atmosphere had somehow
quietened down again as they had temporarily stopped their quarrel.
Absalom looked at Dimas and asked, “Uncle Dimas, what do you want to talk to me about?”
“It’s nothing serious,” Dimas replied. He handed a file folder to
Absalom.
Absalom furrowed his brows. He recalled the divorce gift Harmonial gave him on the day they separated. It was also an envelope.
“What’s this?” Absalom took it.
“I happened to find out that the three major projects of Terran Construction were secretly negotiated by your ex-wife for you.”

Absalom’s expression changed drastically as he heard Dimas’ words. He was in shock and could not believe what he was hearing. He even thought he might have misheard Dimas.
“Uncle Dimas, what did you say?”
“Terran Construction didn’t outperform others; the truth is, your ex- wife paved a smooth path for you.”
Absalom frantically opened the envelope and examined all the papers and photos inside.
Absalom looked at the photos of Harmonia. She was using her professional knowledge to convince the clients in the pictures.
“Harmonia…” His hands trembled uncontrollably as he held the
photos.
He realized just how much Harmonia had done for him.
His eyes reddened as he felt an overwhelming sense of guilt.
“Absalom, you’re such a scoundrel! After all she did for you, you still had the audacity to ask her what she had done? Wasn’t what she did for you enough? You, on the other hand, what have you done for her over the past five years?” Absalom thought.
Dimas, with a knowing look, said, “She’s heading to Green Hill
tomorrow. You still have a chance.”
Absalom instantly looked up at Dimas and nodded in gratitude.
Dimas did not stay for long. After having a brief chat, he left the gifts. for his sister and niece and left the Terran family’s mansion.
Absalom stood still. His gaze fixed on everything in his hands.
He felt like his heart had been torn apart into fragments of regret and
unease.
He regretted everything he had done in the past.
He feared that she might not give him another chance.
Suddenly, Felix’s sarcastic remarks broke the silence. “Did your Uncle Dimas just happen to find this information? Well, I say, let’s not jump to conclusions yet. Verify whether this information is true or false first.”
Holly was about to unleash a torrent of curses when Absalom walked up to Felix.
He leaned in slightly and whispered in a soft voice. “Dad, don’t think I don’t know how Luna secured her position as the most outstanding graduate. I hope you’ll reflect on your actions.”
He delivered each word with a tone of sternness.
Felix shot him a piercing glare. “Absalom, don’t forget that I’m your father! You’re in no position to reprimand me!!
Absalom snorted. Then, he nodded in Holly’s direction before turning. and leaving.
Holly watched him leave and remarked with resignation, “I never thought Harmonia had done so much for the Terran family. Absalom must be full of regrets now.”
Monica, who was munching on some chips, said, “It’s more than
regret, Mom! I think he’s overwhelmed with remorse. Now he’s going to do everything he can to win her back.”
At 4 a.m., after leaving the Terran family’s mansion, Absalom called his secretary.
“Lawson, cancel all my appointments for today, and arrange for a private jet to take me to Green Hill.”
“Mr. Terran, your private jets were sent for maintenance two days ago. The earliest we can have them back is next week
“In that case, book a flight for me to Green Hill. The sooner, the better.”
Lawson immediately checked the available flights to Green Hill.
“Mr. Terran, all flights to Green Hill today are fully booked.”
With summer vacation approaching, university students were on break early. Green Hill happened to be a popular and affordable summer retreat.
Absalom muttered a curse and slammed the brakes.
He instructed Lawson to purchase twenty private jets for future unforeseen needs.
Then, he hung up and called Dimas.
