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
At the Imperial, Connie's heart felt heavy after she hung up the phone. At this moment, she was at the breaking point where she had to fight till the death with Elizabeth. I have to get rid of Winnifred. Alban probably knows that l'm about to attack Elizabeth soon, hence why he abruptly decided to leave the Jones Family because he doesn't want to get caught up in the middle. However, she felt pressured to get rid of Winnifred as well. Hilda seems to be quite close with her... Sure enough, in no time, Hilda opened a small slit in the door and poked her head in. "Mom... are you going to attack Winnifred soon?" She asked hesitantly. Connie denied. "No. Who did you hear it from?" Hilda walked into the room and sat in front of Connie with a cat on her lap. Looking unhappy, she said, "Stop lying to me. I know everything." Even though she didn't tell her anything and didn't involve her in the matter, Hilda had already heard the news and figured it out herself about what had been going
Since Hilda was quite busy, she said, "Rex, bring Shamayeta to find a spot to sit down. Apart from that, also find some suitable outfit backstage for this, uh.. Money. And remember to post about it on Twitter to market it."Rex replied, "Sure thing!"With that, he brought Shamayeta backstage and picked a beautiful collar for the female husky in the fitting room.Sure enough, after putting it on, the husky was immediately glowing.Rex cared the most about his own husky grandchildren after all, so he quickly fetched Cash and Penny over before bringing them to an empty room to familiarize themselves and mate with Money. Whoever liked to mate, they would just go for it. Even if it was two on one, he didn't care anyway.He was just monitoring Shamayeta to post the pictures on Twitter and Instagram to promote Pourl. After all, they had agreed on this before, so no one could back out of this deal.After knowing that Shamayeta was Shama, Rex also found out that her house had a few gorgeous fe
Three months later, the five generations of the huge family were gathered happily together in Nathan's Villa of the Imperial. Old Master Clemon, who was still alive and kicking, held in his arms junior Klaus with a broad smile on his face, while Zis was also all smiles as he held the other junior Klaus. Nathan was staring at Klaus hostilely. "Mr. Klaus, pardon me, but I'll make sure to cut you up into pieces if you get any closer to my daughter!" He held a chilly gaze while asserting his presence. All of a sudden, there was a fierceness about him. However, Klaus only gave him a smirk. "Haha, I don't think you have any say in this, Mr. Clemon." On the contrary, Connie seemed to side with Klaus, as she began chiding Nathan. "You should keep your mouth shut! The kids know what they're doing!" Although Nathan seemed to have backed down, he was still glaring at Klaus. Without warning, Zis, who was the eldest of the in laws, put on a stern look on his face while lecturing Connie, "M
Just like that? Why does she sound so nonchalant about it? My daughter was only six years old when she slept with a twenty year old guy! As her mother, shouldn't she have stopped her? "Times have changed. Besides, the kids are all grown up now, so isn't it normal to have desires? Don't you worry, as I gave her detailed guidance beforehand, as well as showed her educational videos to teach her more about sex." Hilda explained. Nathan's face blanched, wanting to just faint once more. However, Hilda went on. "Linux even developed a condom that helps relieve the pain, as well as increase the pleasure one experiences during sexual intercourse. It will also alert the users if it detects a virus. Besides, Klaus did a checkup beforehand to ensure that he was clean." "I also told him to be careful so as to not hurt Luna before I agreed to let them have sex." There was a livid expression on Nathan's already pale face. Has the world undergone so much transformation during the past ten year
Justin stood in a corner in abjection before suddenly laughing in a self deprecating manner. He turned around to look for Anne, only to find her still actively trying to approach Luna in an attempt to strike up a conversation with her. Never in her wildest dreams had she expected the girl to be Luna Clemon, the daughter of a security guard whom she despised. After Klaus entered the venue, he didn't even spare a glance at the other ladies present for the occasion, save for Luna, the girl who was the center of attention. As the main protagonist who made her appearance after everybody else, the ball began after Luna showed up. She led the first dance with Giry, who moved in a coquettish manner throughout the entire dance due to how elated he was. After the first dance, some of the guests left the floor to get some rest, while others continued dancing after switching partners. Giry was forced to let go of Luna after that and wait for the next dance on the sidelines as he shouldn't be
There were a lot of prestigious people present for the occasion, including male guests who were members of royal families. Klaus Adams, whom Justin didn't manage to meet, would also be there, so he could seize the opportunity to connect to people of status. Luna won't be able to provide me with such an opportunity. He took a sip out of his wine to forget the feelings of bitterness within him while he admitted his defeat. I don't belong to Luna, nor is the opposite possible, as we belong to two different worlds. All of a sudden, there was a commotion in the hall as the hosts from Smith Group showed up. Jerome Bowen and Connie Frimpong were the ones to show up first, whereas Hilda Adams and Linux Jordan followed behind. They're here! The crowd moved in their direction with anticipation in their minds. The main protagonist will be here soon! The girl who has a net worth of hundreds of billions, as well as being the heir of prestigious families including the Damien Family, the Clemon
Anne also received an invitation to attend the ladies' ball, which was something that someone at the bottom of the social pyramid would never get to know and join in on, they practically lived in two different worlds. It wasn't until then that he knew how different they were. While Justin would never eat street food with Luna, her current boyfriend was willing to do so. Gritting his teeth, Justin left without a word, as if having made a decision. This time, he was finally able to leave her behind, even if they met each other again in the future, he would treat her like a stranger. There was a time when he used to want to spend his life with Luna, as he never met someone as intelligent and kind as her. Even if she was no better than other people, she was at least better than Anne in both regards. However, they could never get together. His family would never agree to the match due to the fact that Luna couldn't help his family climb the social ladder like how Anne could. It wasn't
A month later, the military training ended with Giry having bruises all over his face. On the other hand, both Luna and Klaus had a tan when they returned. They had also gotten to the stage of holding hands all the time with each other. As usual, Connie maintained her deathly glare when she met Klaus. She had arranged a group of people to join the military training, hoping that they could teach Klaus a lesson, but all of them wound up being intimidated by him. Geez! That bunch of cowards! Even Connie herself was beginning to acknowledge that she no longer stood a chance against Klaus by now, say less of anybody else. She was getting older, so it was time to hand things over to the next generation. Now, Klaus was the young, determined, and ambitious one, whereas Connie had aged, so she was no longer the former's opponent. Therefore, she could only watch as Klaus dated her granddaughter. After the military training, Luna's eighteenth birthday was approaching fast, which would mark
Jumping with joy, Luna latched herself to Yaa. "Marie! When did you arrive?" Yaa warmed up to Luna upon seeing the latter. "We'll be welcoming the freshers today. They seem to be a little disobedient! How dare a bunch of newbies be so arrogant?" The girls walked away while they chatted, but Yaa didn't speak with Klaus when they saw each other, as they both considered it sufficient as a greeting when they exchanged looks earlier. Therefore, Klaus pushed his bike while walking beside the girls as they spoke, all the while mentally exclaiming on how Yaa had bloomed into her true self by staying with the Cannons, that was where she truly belonged. Yaa was feared among the freshers. Furthermore, Justin Clark had his name called out directly by her earlier, so he almost burst into tears out of his intense fear for her. At that moment, Adwoa appeared out of nowhere to scare him. "Aha! You're done for! The general called for you! Justin, you should be prepared! The following month will b
The moment Connie's words were heard, Luna's reaction was the most intense. "Grandma, what do you mean by that? Why are you talking about him being worthy or otherwise? We're just friends!" Although we... we kissed the other time, neither of us ever brought that day up again. Therefore, they were still at the beautiful stage where things were fuzzy. Hence, Connie's proclamation burst the bubble, making the situation exceedingly awkward. Klaus, who was eating, stilled for a moment, but he said nothing. Upon seeing this, Connie was in seventh heaven. Finally, I've found his Achilles heel! Putting on her authoritative air as an elder, she loftily asserted, "My granddaughter will never marry a man who doesn't even have a high school diploma." All at once, the atmosphere turned awkward, and Luna's face flushed bright red from mortification. At this time, Hilda hurriedly smoothed things over, exclaiming, "What are you saying, mom? What's this about marrying and all?" She should at last l
The old son in law was indeed zealous, for he brought back gifts for everyone, including Jerome, Connie, and Luna's uncles. Despite Connie's staring match with Klaus earlier, she hugged her gift to her chest, reluctant to put it down for even a second. Klaus's gift to her was a handwritten score from her favorite pianist back when she was young, so she truly loved it. Meanwhile, Adwoa got a set of Western European non mainstream fashionable clothes, and she seemed besotted as well. Klaus even had gifts for Luna's friends, including Giry, Dean, and the others. He distributed the gifts one by one. At the end of it, he took out a tiny gift and waved a beckoning hand toward the back of the house. "Kater!" Woof! A husky scampered out in a mad flurry. Then, Klaus unwrapped the gift to reveal an adorable ball. Gratified, Kater left with it in its mouth. "Tangerine! Orange! Lemon! Gordon! Goldstein!" Upon hearing their names, the few orange cats padded over, meowing all the way. Klaus
