Connie seemed to be very upset when she went back to her room. Taking the opportunity, Hilda scolded Luna. "Never help the Bowens to set your grandma up. Do you understand?" Luna pouted in response as if she was wronged by Hilda and replied with an 'oh'. Finally feeling relieved, Hilda went back to Nathan. Seeing that Hilda had finally left, and Connie was back in her room, Luna snuck out to play again. There had been many new visitors at Jerome's place and Luna did not like them. So, she went to Samuel's place instead. Giry had been visiting to enjoy the hot spring every now and then recently. Sitting beside the pool, Luna splashed his head with the spring water, her little feet kicked the surface of the water excitedly. "Mr. Psychic, when did Giry come?" When Luna arrived at Samuel's place, she did not only see him, but she also saw Giry. Giry was swimming in the pool, his inky black hair was as lively as an aquatic weed. Proudly, Samuel announced, "Giry came for his winte
"You're just an illegitimate child! A bastard! You'll only succeed in life when Dad acknowledges you. Do you hear me?" Sahara was like a repeater repeating those few words, reminding Bruce of his identity over and over again. "Connie and Salem are at odds, and you're Dad's illegitimate son. It's a matter of time before Connie gets rid of you!" cursed Sahara viciously. However, Bruce had not heard all those words. He was already enjoying the ice cream he bought from the convenience store. Illegitimate son? He had never forgotten that he was an illegitimate son, and he had never forgotten who his parents were. No one could choose their own birth. Yet, everyone could choose their own future. He used to surrender to his destiny as an illegitimate son who was invisible and who would be useless for the rest of his life. But, someone told him that there was nothing wrong with being an illegitimate son. He was not born with one limb less than others, and neither was he dumber than the ot
This tabloid news had caused an uproar. These news stories could only fool the outsiders, but they couldn't fool those who were close to them, If this was a trick to sow discord among them, wouldn't it be a little too lousy? Hilda didn't work in show business, so it seemed pointless to play up this kind of scandal. "Let's not take action first. We shall wait and see what they want to do." They must have some other tricks up their sleeves! Nathan didn't think the same, though. When they alleged that he was a transsexual, he could turn a blind eye, ignore them, and treat their allegations as nonsense. But now, they claimed that Hilda was having an affair with Bruce. This was simply an insult to his charm and masculinity! Moreover, these news stories even dared to gossip about Luna's looks. They must be banned! Half a day later, all the news stories vanished without a trace. Nathan had personally dealt with the offline media, and all the news stories published online were also del
The oil tanker then exploded, reducing several human lives to ashes at once. When Hilda woke up the next day, she learned of a piece of earth shattering news. "What? Our company was burglarized? Bruce fell off the building and went missing?" Hilda was shocked upon hearing the details told by the person on the other end of the line. She subconsciously uttered, "What about Anthony? What? He went missing as well?" Nathan, who was sleeping next to her, suddenly awoke with a start upon hearing the three names. He sat up and listened to what was being told over the phone. Dragon Technology was burglarized? Anthony and Bruce both went missing, and the surveillance footage showed Bruce falling off the building? So they died together? How could that be possible? Anthony couldn't even be killed with a missile! Nathan and Hilda hurried to Dragon Technology together, and Connie also hurried there upon learning about the news. Nathan called Anthony on the way, only he and Bruce knew Anthon
Hilda then went to the DAB Group. She had her hands full with the approaching fashion week, so she was under a lot of stress. She had drawn several big names in the fashion world to her side, and Brian, whom she had trained herself, could now take care of things by himself. Even so, she still felt that she was at her wits' end. After all, this was the first time she held a fashion week event, so everybody was looking forward to it.Her goal wasn't for Taadi Fashion Week to influence the global fashion world like the four major fashion week events when it debuted on Monday. At the very least, though, she didn't want the event to turn out to be too unsightly.She had to worry about everything, including the venue, guests, and funds.The fashion week event cost a huge amount of money and would be held on an unprecedented scale. As the founder of this fashion week event, she often felt as if she was going to be out of breath.When she went home exhausted after a busy day, she saw that eve
It seemed that the Damiens wanted to seize this opportunity to destroy Connie for good, for they kept pulling strings behind the scenes. Even the fashion week event for which Hilda was working hard to prepare was forced to be held up for a few days since she was involved in a homicide.Both Hilda and Nathan never commented on Bruce's death as well as the slanderous accusations made by Sahara and the others. At this moment, they might bring trouble on themselves if they talked too much.Just then, a piece of breaking news suddenly came, Winnifred publicly joined Smith Fashion Week!Smith Fashion Week immediately took on an entirely new look with Winnifred's participation.Hilda received inside information that Winnifred had joined hands with the Bowen Family to hold Smith Fashion Week this time. She also started to cozy up to the local fashion brands in Taadi City that the Bowen Family treated with contempt by promising to promote their brands at Smith Fashion Week.Many fashion brands
It's really impressive of them to raise such a ruckus from early in the morning until noon! It's such a cold day, and it's snowing. Aren't they bothered by the cold? Thought Hilda to herself. It was already noon, and the reporters had left for lunch, but the Damiens still refused to leave. They kneeled on the floor and warmed their hands with their breaths while shivering, whereas Sahara and Salem had returned to their van to have lunch. Hilda uttered, "It's okay. Just let them make trouble while we have lunch first. I shall treat everyone to lunch today." They had to eat their fill to have the strength to confront these people. Connie didn't want to go out because she thought that this scene was too embarrassing. Hilda, however, was seething with rage, for Bruce's sake, she must go downstairs and raise merry hell with the Damiens on this day! Nathan sneaked into the building from the parking lot at noon to deliver soup to her. Lily, who came with him as well, was carrying a few
The Damiens had indeed lost face right now, but they had no other alternatives. Connie seemed to be keeping herself out of the affair the whole time, but she had been clamping down on the Damiens. She didn't have to deliberately crack down on them at all. She could restrict the Damiens' space for development bit by bit simply by expanding her business. Therefore, bringing Salem down was only a matter of time. The Damiens had little time left even if they secured the investment from the Bowen Family. The more frenzied they were right now, the more it proved that they had been driven into a corner. They were now counting on seizing this opportunity to drag Connie into the mire. "What a shame they've brought to themselves." mumbled Connie. Still, she decided to go downstairs and take a look after thinking for a moment. Meanwhile, the Damiens had gone totally crazy downstairs. Salem wailed while holding Sahara in his arms, whereas the Damiens cried and hurled abuses behind them, maki
