Out of My Way, I’m Becoming a Billionaire

Chapter 26 Not Her Biological Brother 

Her heart sank like a stone. It was as if it were plunging into an icy 

sea. 

She would never have guessed that the person who she had thought was her brother for over twenty years was not actually her biological brother! 

Harmonia felt a ringing in her ears. She could not dwell on it further. She grabbed Hector’s hand and pulled him out of the house. 

“Harmonia?” 

They walked all the way out to the courtyard. Hector held Harmonia’s wrist. 

His warm hand grasped her cold wrist. His brows furrowed in concern. 

“I found out nine years ago.” 

Harmonia trembled. She turned to look at Hector. Looking into his eyes which were filled with tenderness, she did not know how to react. 

“Oh, Hector…” 

“I was abandoned by my biological parents after I was born. Mom and Dad adopted me out of kindness. I was afraid you’d overthink it. I was worried you wouldn’t accept me as your brother. And I was afraid you’d end up crying like you are now That’s why I kept it from you and never told you.” 

Hector’s tone was light: He raised his hand and gently wiped away 1er tears. 

He had kept it from her for so long, for so many years.

He had imagined various scenarios of how Harmonia would react when she had learned the truth, but he never expected that the secret would be revealed in such an unexpected situation. 

Harmonia bit her lower lip. She should have figured it out sooner! 

How could her dad, a man of such high moral character, possibly have an extramarital affair? And how could her brother possibly be an illegitimate child? 

Her brother had been abandoned by his biological parents. He was not the Marsh family’s biological child. He was supposed to be the one who felt the saddest, yet his immediate concern was her feelings. 

“How could I ever not accept you?” 

Harmonia’s eyes welled up with tears once again. Tears rolled down her cheeks. 

“Seeing my dear sister cry like this breaks my heart.” 

As Hector said that, he placed his hand on his chest and made an exaggeratedly hurt expression to cheer her up. 

Seeing his theatrics, Harmonia could not help but smile through her tears. 

t cry, Harmonia. How about I call you my big sister again?” 

tor smiled and cheered her up, just like they used to when they were kids. 

When they were little, Harmonia used to play house with him and would always insist on being the big sister. 

So, whenever she cried, Hector would call her “big sister” to tease her and cheer her up. 

‘Well, go ahead then!” She wanted to hear it-just like in the old days.

Hector leaned down and whispered softly in her ear. “Big sister?” 

Harmonia could not help but chuckle. It was just like when they were kids. She looked up at him. Her smile was sweet and radiant. 

Safan and Ginevra rushed out when they heard the commotion. They did not expect they would overhear a conversation like that. Watching the siblings’ interaction, they nodded and smiled. 

Harmonia was bound to find out the truth sooner or later, after all. It was a good thing that they were still as close as ever even after she learned the truth. 

Harmonia noticed them, but before she could say anything, the smile on Safan’s face disappeared in an instant and was replaced by a stern expression. 

Suddenly, his phone rang. He answered it and walked back into the villa. 

Ginevra, on the other hand, had her full attention on her daughter. 

She hugged Harmonia tightly and examined her carefully. “My precious daughter, you’re still as beautiful and talented as ever.” 

“Talented? What talent? I just got a call from the mayor!” Safan roared. 

“She’s using my name for advertising. The man she brought here is teaching the locals to place orders on some sort of app called BuildEasy. He even said it’s the first bulk purchase event in Green Town! People only bulk purchase groceries, and she’s doing the same for housing construction?” 

Ginevra asked, “Was the old mayor praising her or criticizing her then?” 

“Does it matter if the mayor praised her? I’m her father, and I’m 

criticizing her!” 

“You old fool, the older you get, the more unreasonable you become! Just because I’ve been tolerant with you doesn’t mean my patience has no limits!” 

Ginevra rolled up her sleeves and charged toward the small villa. 

Except for her age-defying beauty, she looked nothing like a typical rich and graceful lady. 

Suddenly, Harmonia’s phone started buzzing non-stop.
