The Jordan phone was still lit as it automatically called a contact named 'Brother'. In the dark night, Winnifred's screams were overpowered by the roars of thunder, while Dona slept outside the door in the rainy night, her body gradually becoming colder. In the middle of the night, Nathan was planning to go to bed after he took some pills. Because of the alcohol, Hilda had already fallen in a deep slumber. As she was also one of the organizers of the fashion week this time, she had been busy for months. Finally, she could have some proper rest this time around. As thunder roared outside, Luna suddenly came running into their room, asking to sleep with them while crying because she was afraid of the thunder. Nathan hugged her in his arms and told her some bedtime stories to put her to sleep. With the thunder roaring outside, Nathan felt uncomfortable, as if something bad was happening. Luna and Hilda were just sleeping beside him, Lily was sleeping in the opposite room. However,
On the balcony, Hilda called 'Your Past Royal Family A'. After the call went through, Arlo's lazy voice rang. "Неу, Hilda! Morning!" Immediately, Hilda questioned him. "You guys did this to Winnifred, didn't you?" Hilda knew that once the trio of father and sons entered the Jones Family, they would do something to Winnifred, the successor of the Jones Group. Unexpectedly, they had used such a dirty tactic. Winnifred was about to resign from the Jones Group anyway! Arlo said lazily, "This had nothing to do with me. If I wanted to deal with this elder sister of mine, based on my and Milo's abilities, we could have defeated her fair and square based on our capabilities. Apart from that, we are so good looking and ostentatious. Once we entered the Jones Group, the elders who value men more than women would've asked her to give us the shares and the management rights after we simply asked for it. I'm not afraid to tell you that the shareholders of the Jones Group actually strongly ask
Winnifred's sexual orientation was now known by the entire Jones Family. Apart from that, someone even posted it online and spread it all over Taadi City. Of course, the culprit did this deliberately. They couldn't wait for Winnifred's scandal to be known by everyone. With that, the Jones Family would definitely chase her away. The netizens had different opinions on Winnifred's case. One party said that there was no crime in loving someone and that lesbians should not be discriminated against. The other party condemned Winnifred simply because she kept changing boyfriends even though she was a lesbian. One of her boyfriends was Nathan Clemon. In their eyes, she had lied to them. When gay men cheated other women into marriage, everyone bashed on them. Hence, there was no reason to let lesbians off the hook as well. After a few of Winnifred's ex fiancé found out about this, they were repulsed by it too. Regardless of the reactions online, the Jones Family felt the immense disgrace
Winnifred happily accepted the treatment to recover her body. Even though she knew that she couldn't reproduce anymore, she didn't seem to care about it. She also didn't ask about Dona, probably knowing that they couldn't meet again whether the latter was alive or not. Dona could either be dead, or the Michel Family had forbidden her from meeting Winnifred. Winnifred was also clear that she would land Dona in trouble if they got together. I'll just treat her as if she's dead. Everyone tentatively avoided speaking about Dona in front of her. In fact, they stopped talking about the rainy night altogether. Hilda visited her in the hospital everyday, and Nathan also paid her a visit once every few days. Lying on the bed, Winnifred told the visiting Nathan straightforwardly, "I'm sorry about lying to you back then. I'd always loved Dona since I was in my teens. She was my first love. All the boyfriends I had throughout these years were just to cover up her existence." Nathan smiled
Connie was worried about the both of them going away just like that, so she specially went to the filming set to monitor the situation there. After all, both Linux and Luna were her big baby and her small baby, and she was not confident that Linux could take good care of Luna. Meanwhile, she could also have some experience in modern reality TV shows, so she could be starred next time around. Unexpectedly, when Connie returned, two more people were standing behind her. Connie replied happily, "Hey, my darling. I'm back!" Hilda looked at them in surprise. "Father?" However, Hilda walked to Damian, who was standing next to Connie, and asked in amazement, "Father, why are you back?" Connie was speechless upon seeing that. Damian wore a perfectly straight army green jacket. With a solemn expression that exuded indifference, he held a simple army luggage that was also in green. Anthony, who was behind him, wore a similar outfit. Both the father and son looked equally solemn. No on
Nathan suddenly got up and waved. "Come on, Rex. Let's go to the washroom." Rex quickly rejected him. "I don't think so. Come, Akosua. It's getting late. We'll take our leave now. Say goodbye to uncle Nathan!" Right after he finished speaking, he didn't even wait for Akosua to say goodbye before he immediately wrapped her in a scarf and escaped frantically. Thomas also followed behind him as they left. Everyone found different excuses to leave. In an instant, only Hilda and Nathan were left in the living room. Hilda munched on the melon that Linux brought as she saw everyone leaving. With only Nathan and her left, she also felt that something had happened. Damian walked to his room on the second floor. But on his way, he saw someone sitting on the sealed balcony on the second floor. She merely sat there alone, looking at the neon lit cityscape in a daze as her body was engulfed in darkness. When Damian saw her, his footsteps suddenly stopped. He then looked blankly at the famil
Every day, they would go to locations in Taadi with relatively poor public security to fight against senior high school students who were mixed up with hooligans in society. They even brought Lily, who was idling at home, along. Kyle kept receiving complaints that the powerful group from years ago had returned and were still targeting senior high school students who were mixed up in society. Furthermore, it seemed that there had been an upgrade in the martial forces of the group of people. They came in unarmed, and they specifically attacked the hooligans. In the past, the group of people consisted of a master level individual leading four amateurs, but now, three masters were out together. With the combined forces of the three of them, they managed to beat people up so badly that the area was at peace, and it was safe enough to leave the doors unbolted at night. Small time hooligans did not dare to show up anymore, whereas the senior high school students, who dropped out of schoo
Winnifred walked toward the entrance of the residential area, and she left after boarding a public bus. She looked like a warrior with a sword who was embarking on a journey where she couldn't look back. She wasn't sure if she'd survive this time, but she'd have no regrets. From her point of view, she'd just end up dead in the worst case scenario. I've experienced the worst suffering in life and returned from hell so death doesn't faze me. Nathan watched as Winnifred left, whereas Hilda was still worrying about what Winnifred would have to eat or drink on the road. Judging by Winnifred's current state, I'm sure she's planning to leave the country. After all, there is no place for her at the Jones Group and Taadi City... Nathan noticed the conflicted expression across Hilda's face and found her utterly adorable. He wanted nothing more than to press her against the wall while doing some non gentlemanly things to her. She is such a kind and adorable little thing. I can't believe sh
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
