Hilda had come all the way here via helicopter, even though it was very cool to drop down from the sky, it almost froze her into a popsicle. She sat down calmly on a portable chair that Thomas had brought over while she listened to Salem and the others' insults. She drank some hot coffee to warm herself up, building enough strength to deliver her big comeback. Their ugly, obscene words even enraged Thomas so much that he was about to command his men to tear their mouths, but Hilda quickly stopped him. "It's fine, just let them continue. Film this properly, I'll soon invest and build a Damien Family museum, and today's historic occasion must be recorded as part of the family's history. We will place it in the museum for future descendants to watch." Salem and his men were too busy cursing Hilda, not noticing that someone had been recording them the entire time. At that moment, they finally realized their ugly nature had been exposed as Sahara quickly yelled, "Stop filming right no
Even though Salem had turned her from an illegitimate daughter into the Young Lady of the Damien Family, she stood no chance of getting any rights or shares to the company. Because of that, Sahara did everything in her power to get into others' good books, it was the only way she could get married to a rich family and have the whole Damien Family kneeling by her feet. When Sahara saw the complacent look on Hilda's face and thought of how great Hilda's life was, she felt her heart bursting with jealousy! Hilda's brother, her mother and her husband all gave her shares and inheritances, they even gave her the money to help her purchase companies and start the DAB Group! We're both illegitimate daughters, I sacrificed so much just to get here today, but how did Hilda get so many things despite lazing around without putting in any effort? It's all because she got married to a good husband. It's all fate and luck! Sahara sneaked behind a bunch of old men right then, watching as they lec
The rather unusual family meeting of the day came to an end, and Hilda finally fulfilled her long desired wish from years ago. While she was feeling content, another determined voice sounded from the crowd right then. "No! I refuse to let this happen. She has no right to be the family head of the Damien Family! She has no right to be in the record book and no right to be buried in the ancestral grave! Her father is a traitor!" Hilda's footsteps came to a halt as she suddenly realized something. That's right. Adrian has been known as a traitor for so long... Although he did betray the Damiens, it was because they wronged him first. This isn't over just yet! "Hold on." Hilda spoke in a stern voice as she asked for Salem and the rest to be brought back to her. Her impression of Salem had always been a strict and domineering elderly, but after revealing his true colors, he looked like nothing but a hideous old man filled with ill intentions. Hilda glanced at Salem and the other elderl
Although Hilda's old scars and wounds had just been dug out, she didn't feel any sadness or anger in her. She simply lamented the fact that she used to have such a tough and bitter life, having been criticized so badly in the past. After Sahara finished speaking, Hilda gently lifted her microphone up and glanced at the crowd before her. "Well? Does it sound like I had a really tough and hard life as a child?" She asked in a light hearted tone. The crowd fell silent. The story of her being molested was a huge issue in the past, there was no denying that the girl who stood in front of the crowd right then had gone through a lot of struggles. Hilda glanced at the silent crowd before she continued her speech slowly. "The Damien Family gave me all of this.." Her voice was filled with grief and a hint of distaste. "That's right. My mother was a waitress. She was born into a poor family and didn't have any academic qualifications. She was a nobody in comparison to my father, but the lo
Ultimately, she was Adrian's daughter, she still shined as bright as a pearl even though a layer of dirt had masked her spark for a while. Her hard work paid off eventually, and she gained the opportunity to impact the world with her overflowing charms, just like what she was doing right now! Who could've imagined that the Damien Family was the one who tore Adrian's family apart and caused so much suffering to his wife and children? Yet, Connie had been thoughtful and caring toward the Damiens. "My mother wants to bring Linux and I back to meet our ancestors. My brother and I are proud that we share the same blood as Adrian. Our whole family has a clear conscience!" As Hilda declared, the audience broke into applause. Of course she was Adrian's child! They were all glad to recognize Hilda as the Young Lady of the Damien Family only because of the amazing woman she was! No one ever brought up the story for the past 20 years, but they hadn't expected to hear such a heart wrenching
Connie was dressed in a formal wear, and she looked as if she had just gotten out of her business meeting. She had the aura of a high achieving intellectual, and her cold, mature demeanor shushed the crowd immediately. Everyone felt as if they had to hold their breaths when they saw her. Perhaps this is what it feels like to be visited by the king, they thought to themselves. "Connie's here!" Someone shouted. "Is that her son, Linux, beside her?" Another one asked. "I saw her 20 years ago. She still looks so young after 20 years, it's almost as if she hadn't aged at all!" Most of the people in the crowd last saw Connie 20 years ago, and they finally got to catch a glimpse of the legendary, powerful woman herself that day. They all shoved one another to get a better view of the woman, and their breaths slowed down as they watched her walk past them. The aggressive group of people, Salem included, who had been calling for Connie to show up were now dumbstruck. Wasn't she supposed
Similarly, Sahara was losing her mind. If Connie is now the official family head of the Damien Family and Salem is no longer in power, what does that make me now? She had just been officially removed from the Damien Family! How is this even possible? I was the one who saved this entire family when Tehilla ruined the Damien Family's reputation. I was the one who worked so hard to rebuild a healthy image for the Damiens just so that they could uphold their reputation. My very existence is the reason why the Damien Group's shares went up in price. I am the actual hero of the Damien Family. I should be the Young Lady of the Damien Family! She simply couldn't allow Connie to leave just like that. Right then, Sahara was struck by a sudden flash of inspiration as she recalled something. She immediately charged forward to snatch the microphone into her own hands and broadcasted her voice to all of the Damien Family members present that day. "Connie, your only son is a disgusting, gay man
As Salem watched Connie and her large group of supporters leaving the place, Salem fell onto the ground weakly. On the other hand, Sahara's gaze was burning with fury as she watched them leave. The rest of the Damien Family members had left by themselves, and only the few of them remained there. Sahara's eyes were tearing up. I've done so much for the Damien Family, yet they kicked me away just like that! They cut all ties with me! They are so heartless! She then dried her tears before standing up. No! I haven't lost yet! Although I've been kicked out of the Damien Family, I'm still the person in charge for Damien's Technology, many of the Damien Family's production and control rights of their businesses are still being handled by Salem too! I'm Sahara, the world champion. I've broken so many world records that still remain undefeated right now. I'm the pride of Taadi, I'm the national treasure of Taadi in sports, and I'm the only athlete that Taadi can place out there in my fiel
