The Cannon Family were excited, plenty of videos were taken from different angles and uploaded into their family group chat. "Look at this, Rex is really in a relationship this time! Look at how sweet his smile was!" "His girlfriend looks stunning! They look good together!" "It seems like they might have kids next year!" Shamayeta saw Hilda, so she went over to greet, "Hilda!" "Hello." Hilda subconsciously looked in the direction where Thomas was and found him in the midst of greeting guests while keeping the scene under control. The guests who were invited today were all from the same industry, big shots from the esport and gaming industries, they even made special arrangements to host an esport performance game to make the event more interesting. Therefore, he was extremely busy. He most likely had given up on relationships since his unrequited love has caused him pain. Hilda took the initiative to invite her to a match. "Let's have a match later!" Shamayeta was surprised.
After playing for the entire night, Shamayeta ate her breakfast in the bistro of the internet café before sleepily heading home. As a celebrity attached to an agency, she was spared from living in basements like other people who came to Taadi City to make a living. She was currently living in a considerably decent property at the heart of the city center, the company had rented a unit with two rooms and a living room for her. She used to live alone in the two room unit, but her cousin from her hometown recently arrived in Taadi City. So, she placed a bed in the extra room, which was modified into her closet, and asked her cousin to stay in it. She even arranged a job for her cousin, which was to do odd jobs in her agency. Shamayeta slept until noon and took a few sips of coffee, wore her makeup, and dressed before heading to the talent agency for an afternoon dance training in the dance room. When she opened her closet, she discovered that her clothes and shoes were left in a mess
"Dad, I recently purchased a house for my brother, so I don't have 1 million!" Mr. Das's tone instantly became stern. "You are a celebrity, so it's easy for you to earn money. Even if you don't have it now, you will have it in a couple of days' time. Don't worry, it's not urgent. It's merely a plan that your brother has, so just transfer to us when you have the 1 million. Shamayeta, your brother is our family's hope and image. If your brother wishes to start a business, our whole family has to try our best to help him!" "But..." Shamayeta felt anxious. My brother represents our family's image, but what about me? On top of that, he wants 1 million? Where am I going to get 1 million from?" He was impatient. "Look at your cousin , Peace from the Orji Family, who married a paratrooper. She only spent around 100,000 when her family purchased a house and it was not even enough to buy a toilet in Provincial City! As a result, she has become such a loser that she is embarrassed to return t
They were all newbies in the industry, but only Shamayeta was the one receiving the benefits and progressed well with her career with spokesperson contracts coming to her non stop. Therefore, they had been displeased with her, so all of them came to watch her in trouble. His attitude had made Shamayeta so mad that she nearly passed out as her tears kept rolling down her cheeks. "Why can't I hit you? You actually spied on someone changing their clothes! Such a despicable act! I will tell your father and you will have to leave immediately!" He did not feel embarrassed and felt that he did not do anything wrong. "Fine, I can leave! My father asked you to get me a job, but you actually asked me to become a security guard!" Shamayeta roared, "What else do you want?! Our company only hires security guards with high school education, but you don't even have that! You are already lucky to be able to work here!" He was even more furious. "Do you think you are being reasonable for giving m
"We came to Taadi City to make money and just look at the kind of job you have arranged for me. Not to mention, you even gave a place with horrible living conditions!" Her cousin said plausibly. "While you are enjoying your good life, we are working hard in the company and staying in a dormitory!" Becky felt aggrieved. "I stayed in your closet and had to settle with your hand me downs. I didn't make any money in the company. In fact, I was abused everyday. All the dirty jobs were done by me. I shouldn't have listened to you and let myself be influenced by you to come to Taadi City in the beginning. Back in my hometown, I was doing just fine." Shamayeta finally knew their true colors and replied angrily, "Was I the one who pestered the two of you to come here? If it wasn't for your family who sent you both to me, I wouldn't have taken you both in! If the jobs I've gotten for you are not enough, why don't you find yourself a job instead? You both did not even graduate from junior high
From the day she arrived, Yaa had always been a mischievous child. When William first adopted her, she could not speak even a word of Taadi, and since the former was rather busy with work, Peace, as the child's mother, had to teach her to speak the language from scratch, all the while learning it herself. Over time, Marie had learned to speak Taadi language while Peace's fluency in the language tremendously improved so much so that she could interview dignitaries with ease. "Papa, Mommy," Marie suddenly greeted in fluent Taadi language. "Hey!" William exclaimed aloud as he reached out for her. Both father and daughter were about to practice martial arts with each other. Peace carried Angelo over and placed him down. "Angelo will be as good as Papa and his sister in the future!" She said. Although he looked aloof, he was actually clingier than anyone else. As her family had a happy and harmonious home, she felt that her life was perfect. She even vowed to hold onto it and would n
William was surprised as well when he saw her. Peace had briefly informed him about the incident on the way. I didn't even know that Shamayeta's actually a cousin of Peace's? Isn't Shamayeta Rex's girlfriend? She is also Peace's cousin! This is so unbelievable. Wait! Why isn't Rex here when Shamayeta needs help? For God's sake, he's terrible at relationships! Let's forget about that, we should find Becky first. The three of them headed out in the dark and drove around in search of Becky. She would not be able to go far since she was here for less than a month and did not have any friends while being unfamiliar with the surroundings. Her brother was nowhere to be found too as he did not give a damn about his own sister. Instead, Shamayeta and Peace were the ones worried. William figured that aimlessly driving around was not a good idea to look for Becky, so he went to make a phone call and within a few minutes, he found out where Becky was. "She's at the Royal Oak pub." Therefore,
Becky had always licked Peace's boots at every chance she had and tried everything in her power to move into the latter's house. However, Peace had used various kinds of reasons to reject her, either by repeating that her house was tiny or that it was inconvenient. Does she want to live in my house? No way! Becky changed her approach when she saw how firm Peace was. In the end, Peace received a call from her own father. "I heard that you have arranged for Becky to work in your company, right?" Peace's father interrogated her when she answered his call. "And you even let her stay in the dorm?" "Yeap, the cleaner's salary is about four to five thousand." Peace replied in a flat tone. "Only the accommodation is provided with a living arrangement of about 8 people to a unit dormitory." Mr. Orji snapped. "Is this how you treat your cousin? Shamayeta gave them a job that comes with accommodation and food with a salary of seven to eight thousand! Learn from Shamayeta, will you?" Her fat
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
