At the moment, the safest way is to collaborate with the Durrett Group. However, she also understood what Klaus wanted, the two families needed an alliance, so both parties were eagerly hoping that Connie and Teddy would be married. That's impossible! Meanwhile, Luna had already taken pictures with everybody, so she quietly returned to Connie's side. Then, she grabbed her and held her in her arms. Upon seeing her, Connie seemed to forget all of her worries for the time being, but Luna continued to stare at Klaus. She probably wants to take a photo with him for her collection, but she has blackmailed him for 2000 the last time and took advantage of him. This is a little awkward. At the same time, her stare was making Klaus anxious, so he intentionally diverted his gaze. A moment later, he turned again and saw that her face was buried inside Connie's arms as she fell asleep. While looking at Luna with a resigned face, Connie could not help but soften her voice. "She really is a na
It's already night time in winter. The two of them had walked for about ten minutes before they turned a corner and saw a brightly lit building that was several stories high ahead of them. It looks like a.. little motel. A motel? She was dumbfounded. Isn't this going rapidly? N.. No. The steps are all wrong. We should be eating first, shop around and watch a movie before sitting on the carousel in the amusement park. After getting dizzy, we should sit on the highest point of the Ferris wheel and affectionately talk to each other to make things official. After a few quarrels and reconciliation, our love for each other will become deeper, and naturally, we'll become regular VIP customers in hotels. Sadly, before she even had the chance to think things through, Rex had already gleefully walked toward the building. He opened the door first and there were many people at the entrance. The hall was designed to be glamorous and futuristic with bright lights, like a nightclub. There was
In the banquet room on the third floor of the State Hotel, Jerome and Elizabeth's engagement ceremony was underway. There were many guests at the scene, including many elites from Taadi City and from all over the world. As the heads of the Smith Group and the Jones Group respectively, the union of Elizabeth and Jerome was a perfect match made in heaven. Although it was something unexpected, it was still reasonable. At the ceremony, Jerome wore an elegant suit as he held a glass of wine and followed Elizabeth around the Vanity Fair. Among the elites who came from all over the globe, he looked like a fish in water, as if he was a little boy completely immersed in happiness. Nobody would be able to suspect anything unusual about him at all. But, who else can understand the sorrow buried in my heart? Jerome's four sons were also present at the scene. Two of them looked elegant, handsome and eye catching while the other two held onto their canes as they limped into the scene. The eng
Sitting in between Connie and Teddy had allowed Hilda to prevent the other man from giving her any more wine. With Linux and Hilda sitting on each side of Connie, Teddy knew that he had no chance to make his move tonight because Nathan was still looking at him from the side. Even if Connie became drunk, Teddy would not be able to drag her away, so he left with little interest. Afterward, Alban came over with some wine and touched Connie's glass. "Connie, are you alright?" Connie already had some anti hangover drugs, so she looked as awake as usual, but her face was still slightly red. "I'm fine. I'm just thinking of something." Alban did not seem to completely understand what was happening and left with his wine after exchanging a few words with Connie. However, Alban was curious about Elizabeth's second husband, Jerome. Even though the two of them had met before, it was merely a greeting and they never had the chance to speak. He was surrounded by many elites today, so Alban d
The whole State Hotel shook while the glasses fell to the floor, causing the guests to panic and screams from female guests could be heard at the same time. "What happened?" Hilda swiftly stood up. The guests looked at each other while the smell of gunpowder overpowered the scent of wine. Amidst the silence, someone screamed in horror, "There's a bomb! Someone is trying to kill us all! Run!' There's a bomb! There's actually a bomb! Tonight, all the top elites from around the world are gathered here. If the bomb is detonated, the whole Taadi City will plunge into chaos! The sudden panic threw the entire banquet into chaos as the screaming guests fled the scene. As the commander in chief of the scene, Winnifred was also shocked. Without her orders, the on site emergency team had already made their move to escort all the guests out in an orderly fashion. There was also a bomb squad that entered the washroom and discovered that a cubicle was blown up. The scene was now a mess as t
Ding! The door opened, revealing that they were now at the parking lot. Nathan and Hilda were already in the car and prepared to leave before the huge crowd arrived. Unexpectedly, they saw Connie and Jerome in the elevator. The two of them looked like a mess and her head was stained with blood. Jerome's face also looked devastated. Upon seeing the blood on Connie's face, Hilda could suddenly feel tears swimming in her eyes. "Mom!" She quickly ran over to her, but Connie still remained calm. She uttered calmly when Linux came over, "Linux, help your dad." Therefore, Linux swiftly held onto Jerome. After the heavy burden was lifted from Connie, her body softened and she almost collapsed on the floor, but luckily, Nathan and Hilda were there to support her. "Connie!" "Mom!" Hilda held onto Connie while tears flowed out of her eyes. Nathan immediately helped Connie into the car. After everyone was seated in the car, Nathan quickly drove the car away to leave the chaotic place bef
It was when he lost her in the face of danger that Alban finally realized that she already had a place deep in his heart. In fact, he had once gotten together with her because of Connie's instruction. Connie knew that Alban admired her and she understood that she could never bring herself to love a man other than Adrian. She could not repay Juliana's favor for reuniting her and Hilda. Alban understood her frustration, so he actively approached Juliana. In the end, he started both a relationship and family with her. Now that he had a family, he supported her so that she would not have to work hard anymore, but he also realized that during their everyday interaction, he seemed to have forgotten about his initial intentions. In his mind, he only wanted to spend the rest of his life with her, not because of what others wanted, but because of her and their child! Unable to locate her, he started to become anxious, so he continued to call her while ignoring the people telling him not to
The city tonight was filled with breaking news... The news of Juliana and Alban's secret marriage overwhelmed the reports about fashion week, half of the news headlines in Taadi City were about the bombing incident during the fashion week while the other half were about her secret marriage. Alban knew what he would soon have to face, but he was not afraid of it. The worst case scenario would be him turning his back on the Jones Family and he did not mind giving up the last name of 'Jones' to replace it with 'Hawkins'. For the sake of their child, Juliana, and his family, he had to put up a fight. Everyone was busy tonight. A lot of things recently happened in the Jones Family, on one hand, it was the marriage of the head of Jones Family, Elizabeth, and on the other hand, there was the exposure of Alban's secret marriage. Elizabeth currently did not have the time to deal with all those matters as she only had Jerome in her head. "Jer! Has anyone seen Jer?" She frantically looked
