Ezekiel remained silent on the side, but amid his grandmother's praise, his eyes were filled with amusement. Harmony exchanged glances with him several times and averted her gaze shyly each time.

As dinner came to an end, Harmony's phone rang. Seeing it was Sera, she said to Cecelia, "Ma'am, please allow me to take this call."

"Sure! Go ahead. We're not strangers," Cecelia replied.

"Hey, Sera," Harmony answered the phone.

"Harmony, have you finished eating? Something happened at the television station just now. An intern climbed to the rooftop emotionally distressed and even threatened to jump."

"What?! How's the situation now?"

"They're still in a standoff, and we don't know how to persuade her. The fire department has arrived as well."

"What can I do?" Harmony was anxious now. No matter what, she couldn't let the situation escalate to the point of someone attempting such a dangerous stunt.

Just then, Sera seemed to be talking to someone else. "What? You want my artist to come and talk to her... No way. She can't go to the rooftop. It's too dangerous."

When Harmony heard that, she stated outright, "Sera, I can come and talk to her. I'll come over right away."

"Harmony, you don't need to..." Sera's attempt to dissuade her was cut short as Harmony ended the call.

Turning to Cecelia, Harmony apologized to the elderly woman. "I'm sorry, ma'am. I have an urgent matter to attend to. I'll treat you to a meal next time."

Ezekiel immediately stood up. "What's the matter? I'll come with you."

"But-"

"It seems urgent. Let Ezekiel take you. I'll have the driver take me home later," Cecelia suggested before adding to her grandson "Take good care of Miss Mayo."

"Alright, Grandma." After saying that, he urged Harmony, "Let's go!"

As soon as they were in the corridor, Harmony briefed Ezekiel on the intern threatening to jump from the rooftop.

He could tell she was anxious. Faced with a stranger, her anxiety revealed her inherently kind nature.

"Okay. Let's hurry over," Ezekiel said, taking her with him. The television station was nearby, so they could hear the sounds of the fire department and the crowd below.

It seemed like things were getting out of control. Sera noticed Harmony immediately and rushed over to persuade her. "Harmony we shouldn't go up. It's too high, and the rooftop is too dangerous."

At that moment, the police arrived and addressed Harmony, "You're the artist, aren't you? Please go up and try to persuade the intern to come down."

Harmony nodded without an ounce of hesitation. "Alright. I'll go up."

Just then, someone grabbed her hand. In the same determined tone, he uttered, "I'll come with you." Harmony anxiously turned to see the man behind her. "No, you can't go up. It's too dangerous."

"That's exactly why I must come with you," Ezekiel insisted, leading her along with the police.

The scene was chaotic. The police and firefighters were present, and the entire television station's staff gathered outside to watch.

Ruby was among those in the crowd. Though she was also panicking, she actually wished the intern would jump. It would cost the intern's life, but it could save her and Natalie's jobs.

When Ruby went to the rooftop earlier, she saw the intern standing there while shouting frantically, "I've been wronged. I didn't change the script! It wasn't me! I didn't do anything!"

Terrified, Ruby hurriedly came down. She was afraid the intern would come after her, and she couldn't believe how a seemingly quiet pushover could carry out such a dangerous act.

At that moment, Ruby saw a figure entering the passage. She immediately lowered her head, growing even more anxious.

What's going on? Why is Harmony here too? What is she here for?

Just then, Ruby's phone rang. She quickly picked it up to replace that it was a call from Catalina. "Hello, Catalina."
