Hilda then pecked Luna on the cheek before consoling the children who had just been terminated. Then, she suggested, "We're going to celebrate tonight. Klaus, do stay with us for dinner!" Meanwhile, Nathan had already brought out his treasured champagne from the cellar just to celebrate Luna's achievement. The family was clearly over the moon. On the other hand, Klaus watched the warm and harmonious scene before him and gazed at Luna who was being showered with love like a little princess. At that moment, he felt something hot and wet in his eyes as memories of his past flooded his mind. He used to have a family too, he had parents and two elder brothers. That year, he received his first ever prize in his whole life. Even though it was only a small competition, his parents and brothers threw him a celebration with great enthusiasm. His mother even cooked specially for him that day. When he felt this atmosphere and joy, it was déjà vu. Because he was also someone who was loved de
In the video call, Connie would listen intently to Luna's report on the progress of her recent work, and she would affirm her and also give her relevant feedback. In addition, Linux would also give more thorough explanations while Nathan occasionally interjected. At the same time, Hilda would be responsible for taking minutes of the meeting. Amusingly, the presidents of Cross Group, Dragon Technology Corporation and DAB Group, the vice president of the Jordan Group, and the boss behind the Clemon Group and Bilinsk International were all on edge over the survival of a tiny store that sold dog pillows. To Connie, whether it was Hilda's dog collar store or Luna's dog pillow store, those were their careers they were fighting for. In fact, they were as important as her career in nuclear bombs, and they must be held in high regard.. "Sweetie, you did the right thing. Selling your father's autographed posters can only earn you quick money, and it isn't a good long term plan. You need to
While eating, Lou suddenly came over and whispered to Connie, who then nodded and revealed a knowing expression. As she expected, Teddy's child was not hers. Instead, it was Elizabeth's. Considering the fact that she wanted Connie to be the last of her line, Elizabeth surely would not easily hand over Connie's genes and carry on her bloodline for no reason! Soon, everything would be over. While Connie was living well, Hilda's life, on the other hand, was a living hell. Every day, she would be bickering with Teddy, who had thick skin and enough patience. He really didn't intend to leave at all. Not only did he touch Hilda's cat, but his son was also sleeping on Luna's bed, wearing Luna's clothes, and drinking Luna's baby formula. Still, Connie did not return, nor did she answer her phone. While the Damien's were managing Dragon Technology, the Jordan Group had Linux and Teresa. Connie had trained her successors well that even when she wasn't around, the businesses would still
Nathan was slaughtering ducks, and he was covered in blood and holding a butcher's knife. With a disdainful gaze, he watched as Klaus approached them. Sensing the murderous aura, Klaus stopped in his tracks as he observed Nathan cautiously. Just as Nathan was about to ask what he was doing here, Hilda dashed out to greet him warmly. "Klaus, you're here! Come in, everyone's waiting!" Hilda enthusiastically welcomed him. Under her protection, Klaus managed to successfully move past Nathan and entered the holiday villa. As soon as he was inside, Hilda complained to Nathan, "Klaus must be exhausted. I heard that the foreign employees of their company aren't given any holidays for the New Year's. How miserable! So, I invited him for dinner and to discuss a long term partnership between DAB Group and him." Without saying a word, Nathan then swung the knife and ruthlessly cut off the duck's head as he pretended that it was Klaus's. He looked disheveled from slaughtering the livestock
Nathan chewed happily and placed an appreciative kiss on Hilda's cheek leaving crumbs on her face. Unfazed, Hilda merely wiped those away with a piece of tissue, and when she found a larger crumb, she popped it into her mouth. At this, everyone cringe in disgust, rendered speechless by Hilda's gesture. She remained oblivious to the apprehension of others, after all, how else was a married couple supposed to behave? Now that everyone had arrived, save for Connie, who had escaped or rather, strategically retreated, Nathan began making a headcount. When he was done, he announced. "Everyone please stop what you're doing and get ready to take a group photo!" Hearing this, the crowd made their way out, chattering along the way. It was bright, seeing as the lights had been switched on. Once everyone had gathered before the camera and a photo had been taken, the reunion dinner commenced. The reunion dinner featured a homemade feast, which consisted of food that were either grown on the
Hilda and Nathan had come home empty handed. Usually, a trip to the farm would warrant bags of souvenirs, most of which would comprise local produce, but this time, they hadn't even made the effort to bring back a single morsel of food. Luna, on the other hand, remained her generous self. She had picked strawberries from the farm and had carefully packed them into a box, along with a couple of eggs she'd taken from the chicken coup. She tied a ribbon over the box and had tucked it into her suitcase, hoping to give Teddy a New Year's Day present in light of their partnership. Receiving the gift from Luna appeased Teddy, who returned the favor by giving Luna a red envelope that contained no small amount of money. Luna was overjoyed, but alas, she was also the one who devoured all the strawberries and eggs. However, it was clear now that Teddy's patience had run thin. The Durrett and the Jordans had expected Connie to come home for the new year, and had, over the course of the week,
Over the next few days, Teddy was oddly high profile as he brought his child around the city and gave interviews to reporters who asked for them. Hilda, on the other hand, was busy working on the article that would expose Teddy for the wretched man that he truly was. Upon completing the article, Hilda handed it to Peace for proofreading, and when that was done, she will put it up on the internet under an anonymous handle, thereafter calling up a marketing agency to publicize the piece. Indeed, with Hilda's skills in writing exposés as well as apology statements, coming up with a piece on Teddy was something she could do in her sleep. In order for Hilda's article to achieve a high click through rate, she'd turned the article over to Peace, who had majored in journalism, for it to be touched up before it was published. It had only taken a couple of days after Teddy made rounds in the companies when the exposé started circulating around the internet. Nathan was at home, watching Hi
That night, Teddy stood out in the hallway for close to two hours, and by the end of it he asked loudly "It's been two hours. Are you ready to talk now?" There was no reply from Hilda. Instead, it was Nathan who answered hoarsely, "She's fallen asleep." Infuriated by this, Teddy stormed off. Barely two days had passed before Hilda handed the article over to Peace for editing, and when everything had been finalized, the piece was published in the paper anonymously. The news had garnered the public's attention and had sent a wave of panic crashing over the upper side. After all, the elite had opted to cryogenically freeze their genetic samples in order to preserve their bloodline. If the cryobank had indeed swapped their samples with others for its own corporate greed, then it was no different from killing off their next generation! Upon the publication of the article, the clients of Jeans Cryobank hastened to withdraw their genetic samples. If Jeans Cryobank had a Taadi branch, t
