The sun rose later in Taadi City, it was 8:00AM when the day was finally bright. Giry nuzzled Samuel in his arms and woke the latter up. Samuel opened his eyes and noticed that Teresa was already dressed and doing her makeup, it seemed like she was about to leave. He suddenly sat up. "Are you leaving?" Teresa was applying lipstick while holding the compact mirror as she replied, "Yeah." She pressed her lips as desolation filled her eyes. Samuel rose to his full height and gently wrapped his arms around her waist. "Can't you stay with me for another day?" "No, I can't." She adamantly replied. Her reply left him in dejection. As always, career is more important than a man since the latter means nothing to her. He knew where he stood. Love was not the only thing in her eyes and neither was he. Sonnia had woken up early to see Ryan and Adwoa off before they entered the car to head to the kindergarten. After that, when she was yawning in her pink, tender pajamas, she suddenly saw
Naturally, Jerome and Juliana were treated very differently. The latter could only be sidelined as she sat all by herself on the sofa in the living room in a state of restlessness. Nobody from the Jones Family welcomed her, not even the dog lying in the living room peeped a look at her. Jerome, on the other hand, received a very warm welcome. They invited him with the most heartfelt handshakes. Tea was served as soon as he and his two sons sat on the sofa while the elders politely welcomed him in person. "Mr. Bowen, young masters, your rooms are ready." Said one of the servants. Jerome nodded. He was then led to the Master's room in the mansion by the servants. The two newly arrived young masters had their own rooms as well. They were only furious about the sudden announcement of the marriage and the fact that Elizabeth had kept hidden her relationship with Jerome all these years. However, they had nothing other than an extreme fondness for him and the young masters. Jerome was
Alban's business had separated from the Jones Group's for a long time. He built Nobel House from the ground up, and it had nothing to do with the Jones Group anyway. As for networks... the Jones Family's networks in the political circle were actually established by him. For the past years, he mainly worked in his own name instead of under the family's shelter. The Jones Group could not do anything about him anyway. He was finally strong enough to leave now. Otherwise, he would end up the same way as Adrian back in the days, he'd had to watch his loved one die in front of him! Jerome saw Alban off silently. He carried his son with one hand and held Juliana with the other as he walked out of the Jones' residence. Memories kept coming back into his mind. He saw an image of a young boy, who played the piano, jumping onto the green train recklessly with little money in his pocket as he eloped with his darling. He was as certain as how Alban was today. They thought nothing would be a p
Winnifred entered the main hall of the Jones' ancestral home, noticing that quite a few elders and the Jones Group's followers had come. She then saw a group that was encircled by the crowd. Like the moon surrounded by stars, in the middle of the crowd sat Elizabeth and the glowing Jerome, on the side of her were Arlo and Milo. The grand elder, who was pissed by Alban just moments ago, was now showing his loving care toward the twins. "Who could imagine that these young masters belong to the Jones' bloodline! God is smiling on us. We finally have descendants!" "Young masters, are you interested in working in the Jones Group?" "The Jones Group is now run by your sister, but as a girl, she would get married at some point and change her surname anyway. The Jones Group's future still counts on you two. With your great abilities, the Group will certainly have a bright future and achieve great heights!" Upon hearing their conversation from the side, Winnifred shivered. Are they plann
"Grandma!" Suddenly, a bell like sound rang before Luna jumped into Connie's arms. Connie was originally in a serious discussion about something important with Klaus. When Luna came, she immediately beamed with joy. Luna was the lead model who would be wearing the latest autumn and winter children's clothing on the catwalk today. Her parents bought this children's clothing brand for her, Connie even paid a lot of money to invite many foreign children's clothing designers to come over. "Good girl. Let me hug you." Connie hugged Luna and took some candies out for her. She then enjoyed her candies with satisfaction. Luna was well dressed that day and looked super adorable. She was having her candy while sitting quietly without interrupting Klaus and Connie's discussion. Teddy tried to tease her, as if he wanted to give her a hug, but Luna rejected it. Klaus had always wanted to help in match making Connie and Teddy. He then said, "Ms. Connie, the unity in marriage will be an agr
In the weird and strange atmosphere, the kid's fashion show had begun, and Luna walked onto the stage. During the catwalk, Nathan tried to distract Klaus by talking to him while the latter was trying to watch the show. Hence, in the end, he didn't really get to see Luna at the catwalk at all. Finally, when the show ended, Nathan quickly ran backstage and took Luna away. He was definitely not going to let the 14 year old 'old man' take a peek at his little girl. The show was a huge success, and Hilda was so happy that she invited everyone to come over to her house for a meal. "Winnifred, please come over and join us!" Hilda invited Winnifred warmly. But Winnifred seemed like she had something on. She ran out quickly with her phone, saying, "I have something going on today. Maybe some other time." Hilda then went over and invited Klaus. "Klaus, would you like to join us for a meal at our place?" Klaus did not know what to say. Teddy, on the other hand, wasted no time in seizing
After they finished this round of game, Rex realized that a few minutes were left in the phone package, so he quickly brought up another topic of conversation. "Thomas, what did you have for dinner last night? Oh, I forgot. I had it with you. What about Akosua, what did she have? Oh, no. Time's up! We've even exceeded for a minute! Bye!" Everyone was speechless again after seeing this. Thomas was probably the only person who could stand this. If it were another person, they would have been beyond furious conversing with an idiot like Rex. Meanwhile, Hilda, who came over to peek at them some time ago, suddenly had a realization. This idiotic game actually seems pretty fun! In the evening, after dinner, Teddy deliberately drank a lot of wine and flirted with Connie drunkenly. "Connie, I think I'm slightly drunk." Hilda glared at him angrily, but she still arranged a room for him. However, she arranged for Teddy to stay in a room on the first floor so that it would be quite far fr
For the time being, Winnifred was not involved. However, as long as the grudges were still there, a fight was bound to happen with her! But no matter what... Winnifred was Nathan's ex girlfriend after all. He couldn't bring himself to treat her harshly because of how similar she looked to Leah. She seemed to be a living shadow of Leah. With her around, Nathan felt relieved, as if Leah were still alive. Hence, he couldn't bring himself to destroy this mirage. However, reality was cruel, she was Elizabeth's daughter, so she would side with her naturally. While holding the phone in his hand, he said, "What will come, will come. Don't get too caught up on this." Hilda seemed to heave a long, unhappy sigh. "Nothing is perfect in this world indeed!" Then, she turned her back to Nathan and spoke. "Dear, scrub my back for me." While holding the phone in one of his hands, he used the other to scrub her back. The scars left behind from her rotten flesh because of the Virus were still there
