From the school to the Orji Family, everybody believed that the spot should have been given to her cousin, even Peace herself believed that. They believed that boys were the hope of the family while girls were not. She was considered extremely blessed in their society that her family could even afford to send her to high school as most girls only studied until junior high school. That was the common mindset among her society and her entire family. People who came from that little society held values and beliefs that were surprisingly consistent. Later, Peace was admitted into a first tier university at Provincial City with excellent scores despite being in the ordinary class. Meanwhile, her cousin that had taken her place in the elite class could only be admitted into an inferior second tier university with his scores. Unfortunately, the tuition fees for a first tier university were too high, and her family could not afford it. Therefore, she had no choice but to reject the offer an
Afterward, Peace decided to see Linux and Hilda on their way. Walking into the lounge with Hilda to look for Linux, she saw her second uncle that had just arrived at Taadi City to work. He was surrounding Linux with Becky and her brother behind him. I can't believe Becky called him over! Byron had a grimace on his face as he leaned close to Linux while saying, "Look, this is my niece. She is 19 years old. Isn't she quite the pretty one? Her family conditions are great too. Why don't you exchange contact numbers or add each other on Messenger? You should chat with each other a little..." Becky pulled up her Messenger on her phone. Then, she blushingly stepped forward to add Linux on Messenger. Linux looked troubled. "Uncle Byron, I'm sorry but I don't really use Messenger." Any discerning person would know with a single glance that Linux was rejecting them. However, Byron did not know what it meant to be reserved and even went so far as to enthusiastically reach out to take Linux'
When Shamayeta heard those words, she became anxious. This is such a trivial matter, how can they immediately raise the issue with the family?! "Uncle Byron, what on earth happened..." Seeing that Peace refused to kneel and admit her mistake, Byron took out his phone and pretended to dial a number. "I'm really going to make the call! Don't think I won't dare to do it!" Peace scoffed. However, her reddened eyes were filled with tears. Then, he dialed the number while berating her in a loud voice. "You rebellious girl! Your parents have wasted their efforts raising you! Just you wait!" He was already displeased with her long before she ruined the Das siblings' 'marriages'. Seeing that his relatives and friends were heading to Taadi City to work, he hurriedly called Peace and told her to arrange a job for him. Contrary to his expectations, she made him attend the interview himself, saying that it depended on his own abilities as to whether he could get the job. Moreover, she made h
Meanwhile, Byron sat with his leg over his knee. "So what? Didn't the daughter of the county magistrate marry a laborer from a construction site back in our hometown? That man could make his woman eat out of the palm of his hand. When she got pregnant, even the county magistrate had to recognize their marriage!" Mr. Orji fervently agreed with Byron as he said, "That's right, that's right! Peace, can't you act a little smarter? Even if your cousin is not as financially sound as the other party, you should create more opportunities for him to shine! Why don't you invite Miss Linux out alone so that your cousin will have more opportunities to woo her? Your cousin is such a smart boy. I'm sure it's easy for him to get her pregnant! We'll see how the Linux Family reacts once she is pregnant. Their unmarried daughter got herself pregnant, who else would want damaged goods like her? If they are still stubborn... Aren't you a reporter? Why don't you just write an article, make it a huge sca
On the other hand, Hilda was no longer angry. Rather, she was worried since Peace seemed unhappy today. She was tempted to call Peace and talk to her, but she was worried about disturbing Peace's rest. While she was agonizing over it, a call from Shamayeta came. Shamayeta was not aware that Hilda and Peace were sisters in law. However, she was certain that Byron had offended Linux and Hilda today. Putting aside the fact that Peace had broken all ties with her family today, she had also been scolded by the head of the newspaper office for upsetting the young master of the Jordan Group. The head of the newspaper office claimed that Linux was somebody their small newspaper office could not afford to offend. Therefore, Shamayeta cautiously apologized to Hilda, seemingly scared that Hilda was still angry about it. "Hilda, I'm sorry about what happened today. It's the first time Uncle Byron came to the city, so he is not familiar with the rules here. Peace has berated them for their be
Turning on her phone, she saw that there were numerous missed calls and text messages as well as messages on Messenger. They were all scolding her in one way or another. Some of the family group chats were also berating her for being inhumane and unfilial, and ruining the Das siblings' 'marriages'. As soon as Peace's phone was turned on again, Mr. Orji's call came through. She was just about to hang up on him when William suddenly took the phone from her and answered the call. Mr. Orji's voice immediately sounded from the other side of the phone, blowing up at her at the top of his voice. "Peace Orji, do you still regard me as your father?! Look at how angry you've made Uncle Byron! Did you think I won't be able to do anything to you since you've settled down in Taadi City?! I'm telling you, I have many ways to deal with you! I'm giving you two days to come home and beg for forgiveness!" Upon hearing that voice, Peace froze for a moment. It felt as if a bucket of ice water came po
Soon, Peace came back downstairs after changing her clothes. She was prepared to explain everything to Shamayeta. Unexpectedly, Shamayeta covered her ears and shook her head while saying, "I don't want to know! I don't want to know! I don't know anything! I've never met William before! Don't tell me anything!" Peace replied, "O.. Okay..." It's better if she doesn't know anything. Therefore, Peace never brought the topic up again. Similarly, Shamayeta refused to ask about it. She tried her best not to say anything, vowing in her heart that she would never reveal anything. Our relatives back home are already bad enough right now! For a long time after that incident, the relatives back home continued to discuss how the Das siblings could win over the 'Linux siblings'. Once the Das siblings obtained their household registry in Taadi City, they planned to bring all their relatives over to Taadi City. And that wasn't all, they were determined to sink their claws into the 'Linux siblings'
At one of the private hospitals under the Jones Group, Enoch was visiting his newly married wife, Jess Hite, who was recuperating in the hospital after being raped. "Dear, will you find me disgusting and abandon me?" Jess asked with tears in her eyes as she sat on the hospital bed. He patted her on the shoulder and said, "How is that possible? Silly girl!" His newly married wife hailed from another prominent family from Taadi City, the Hite Family. Although her family background was not as prominent as the Bowen Family, she was still quite rich. Back then, he was miserably deceived by the fake Lucile and lost everything. Then, he was later ridiculed by the real Lucile for having phimosis. After that, he suffered a setback as the spokesperson in the competition for Jordan phones. As a result, the Jones Group was severely suppressed by Winnifred, and things became very sluggish for a while. In the end, he married the young lady of the Hite Company in a flash marriage through his fam
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
