Chapter 6 Harmonia Roasted Shareholders to Protect Hector
The meeting room door swung open. Harmonia yanked a chair back and placed both hands on the conference table. Even though she
wore a gentle smile, she gave off a chilling vibe.
“Mr. Kurt, as the legitimate child of the Marsh family, how come I’ve never heard that my brother’s position as CEO was bestowed upon him by you as a favor?”
Harmonia’s words were like a bombshell. They shattered the calm atmosphere and created waves of shock.
“You… You’re Harmonia?” Kurt Ivanov seemed surprised as he was unable to recognize her immediately.
After all, she had been out of the public eye for five years and had not. been seen in the Marsh Consortium.
“It seems like your eyesight has deteriorated over the past five years, Mr. Kurt. Perhaps I should arrange for a specialist to give you a check- up tomorrow.”
Harmonia’s demeanor was overbearing and imposing.
Her words were sharp and aggressive.
Her demeanor was pleasing to the eyes, and her words were satisfying to the ears!
“Harmonia, you’re being rude! You have no manners!”
“Well, I am the legitimate child after all. I was born with all the privileges, and I enjoyed being doted on by all. I’m not obedient and well-behaved like my brother. He has always given you all the respect a senior deserves, but I never expected you to be so shameless.”

Harmonia was clearly the master of sharp retorts. She relentlessly delivered her words and left Kurt dumbfounded.
The other shareholders were well aware that Harmonia was not to be
trifled with. She had been known to be overbearing and aggressive
since she was little.
They gave Kurt advice. They stepped in and tried to smooth things over. It was nearly lunchtime, so they suggested heading to the cafeteria together for a meal.
“Mr. Warren, any special additions to the menu for the shareholders today?” Harmonia inquired.
“Yes, there are,” he replied.
“May I see the menu?” Harmonia reached out her hand.
Mr. Warren glanced at Hector for approval.
Hector gave a subtle nod, and Mr. Warren understood. He then
handed the menu over to Harmonia,
King salmon? Australian lobster?
They were already making a fortune! Despite that, every month they would come in for a shareholder meeting just to go through the motions, and still find a way to indulge in some good food before leaving!
They sure knew how to make the most of their positions!
“Hector, how about this? From now on, shareholder luncheons will follow the same standards as those for employees. The money saved will be donated to an orphanage in the name of the board of directors every month. This will be a little act of kindness from our
shareholders.”
It would not hurt for these unscrupulous folks to accumulate some

goodwill, wouldn’t it?
Hector suppressed a laugh. “I think we can do that. That’s a good
idea.”

“Well, all you gentlemen are very kind; I’m agree to this!”
With the conversation reaching this point, even if they were reluctant to agree, how could they possibly say no? Especially when Hector, the CEO of Marsh Corporation, had already given his approval.
“I think Harmonia’s suggestion is very

shareholder chimed in, and naturally, the others followed suit.
Harmonia flashed a playful smile. “Mr. Kurt, now this is the right side to be on, don’t you think?”
Kurt was so enraged that his face turned various shades of red and white. He snorted. Then, he stood up and left the conference room..
“Bye, Mr. Kurt. See you next month.”
The other shareholders began to leave. Soon, only the two siblings were left in the spacious conference room.
“Harmonia, you really know how to get under Kurt’s skin.” Hector
chuckled as he recalled that scene earlier.
“The expenses for their monthly meetings could cover an entire department. It’s completely unnecessary. We should save as much
as we can.”
Hector, however, was the head of the consortium. He could not be
too thrifty with these matters.
“You’re always right. You do everything right.”
“Except for the choice to marry Absalom,” Harmonia interjected.
Hector smiled. He was clearly unaware of Harmonia’s divorce as he

was in the meeting.
“No matter what your decisions are, I’ll always support them.”
“Then continue supporting me,” Harmonia said as she held up Hector’s hand and placed the divorce certificate into it.
Hector looked at it, and his face lit up with a smile. “It’s for the best. When should we visit Mom and Dad at Green Hill? I’ll clear my
schedule so we can go together.”
“Let’s wait until after the Nilus University graduation ceremony.”
Hector paused for a moment. As he looked into Harmonia’s shining eyes, he seemed to have understood her intentions.
“As you wish,” he said, confirming his status as a doting brother.
Harmonia felt warmth bloom in her heart. There was truly nothing like family.
“Hector, Kurt mentioned something about not choosing the wrong side. What did he mean? Did something happen?”
