Reuben’s discontent and jealousy made his expression look unpleasant. When he saw Harmony holding Ezekiel's hand, he suddenly had a mad idea to get back at Harmony. “Mr. Weiss, | know you're very wealthy and successful, so you don’t lack women to choose from. Why do you need to pick up a woman | dumped?” Reuben’s words elevated Ezekiel’s status and mocked Harmony at the stime.
Harmony looked furious. “Shut up, Reuben.” “I can do that, but the truth will always be the truth. You're a woman | previously used, and I'm worried Mr. Weiss might find you dirty,” Reuben replied.

As Reuben was determined to make Ezekiel misunderstand their relationship, he insisted, “Harmony, have you forgotten? We were at your place, and you seduced me. Later, we spent three whole days together in bed.” Reuben turned to Ezekiel and said, “Mr. Weiss, are you sure you don’t care about that? You can find a woman a hundred times better than her. A woman like her is not worthy of you.” Harmony’s eyes welled up with tears, and she turned to look at Ezekiel, hoping he wouldn't believe Reuben’s lies. At the stime, she subconsciously released her grip on Ezekiel’s arm. The latter knew she and Reuben were former lovers, and who in this era would believe that she was still a virgin after dating a guy for five years? Upon seeing Harmony even refraining from holding Ezekiel’s hand, Reuben felt happy inside. He was about to reach his goal. Ezekiel would surely feel disgusted by her.
However, a large hand gently held Harmony’s waist. Then, she heard Ezekiel's deep and powerful voice. “An outsider like you has no right to criticize whether Harmony is worthy ofor not. | like Harmony, regardless of her past.” Harmony lifted her head in surprise and looked at Ezekiel with disbelief. From his determined gaze, she felt like she was shrouded and saved by a beam of warm sunshine.
“Mr. Weiss, does she have anything that’s worth sem eles just an ordinary woman without any talents. Even't don’t find her appealing!” Reuben couldn't help but mock her with a look of disdain in his eyes.
Upon hearing such disrespectful remarks targeted at women, Ezekiel furrowed his eyebrows and stared coldly at Reuben. “Superficial men like you are unworthy of even appreciating her beauty.” The counterattack silenced Reuben. He grunted before throwing the bouquet to the ground, even stomping on them. “Harmony Mayo, | spent a few hundred to buy flowers for you.” “Get lost and never show up at my house again, or I'll call the police,” Harmony warned angrily.
Reuben’s face turned even gloomier. When he passed by the two, he heard Ezekiel’s voice trailing after him. “If you don’t want to die, then don’t disturb her ever again.” Reuben suddenly shivered. On ordinary days, he would have retorted if a man had threatened him. However, Ezekiel's voice sent chills down his spine because that man did have such capabilities.

The appearance of that sc*mbag had entirely ruined Harmony’s good mood for the night. Moreover, the words he spoke just now had caused her great harm. Even though Ezekiel firmly believed and supported her, she still couldn't recover from how bad Reuben made her feel.
Pushing the door open, Harmony headed toward the fridge like a child who had done something wrong. She took out two bottles of water and said to Ezekiel, “Mr. Weiss, do you want to call your bodyguards and have them cto pick you up?” Ezekiel fixed his deep gaze on her, noticing her bad mood. He took the water and replied, “I don’t feel like leaving yet.” “It's late. You should head hand rest, Harmony said, looking up at him.
Ezekiel sat on her couch. “Don’t kickout. | want to stay here.”
