Finally, here came the day William was going to have a head on fight with her family. And, it was an occasion that was way more serious than she had ever thought. She couldn't imagine how William would feel after meeting her narrow minded family, who thought that they were on the right side. It was only a matter of time before the whole Cannon Family would find out how embarrassing her family was. William will be ashamed, and the whole Cannon Family will be ashamed too. I'm a sinner! The Cannon Family of Taadi City was so influential that it was as if they could summon wind and call for rain. However, the matriarch of the family had a bunch of unbearable relatives! What would the Damian Family, Clemon Family, Michel Family, and Jones Family think? At the thought of that, Peace's tears welled up in her eyes. "What's wrong?" William, who was driving, reached out and held her hand. Immediately, he noticed that her hand was cold. Forcing her tears back, she said, "It's nothing. I
Earlier, Hilda knew if she ever told Connie about a small matter like this, she would only be anxious. Besides, she was afraid that she would not be able to come to the cybercafé anymore, and that was why she did not mention it to Connie. So, it was only now that Connie found out about this. Someone hurt my darling behind my back? An identical cold light flashed in Connie and Linux's eyes. Before Connie could say something, a middle aged woman from the other side marched forward aggressively. She pointed at Hilda, who was hiding behind Connie, and cursed, "Linux, consider it a blessing that my son has his eyes on you. You're already his woman, how dare you act so arrogantly! Come here! Come! I'm going to teach you a lesson today! Look at what you did to my son!" Hiding behind Connie and Linux, Hilda did not come out, she continued to watch them from behind. That middle aged woman was Ray and Becky's mother. When she saw Hilda hiding from her, she rolled her sleeves up and was ab
The atmosphere in the meeting room was solemn. Ray, who had a swollen nose and face, and Becky, who was still looking like a monkey's butt, stood behind the elders. From their perspective, the elders were like the heavens. They had to listen to the elders in everything they did, and the elders had to be the ones that came forward in every major event. The elders could do anything. The word 'elder' was very striking for the family, and it should have been the same to the outsiders. Ray's parents, Shamayeta's parents, and the others sat on one side. Behind them were the relatives and elders from the Orji and Das Family. The scene was grandiose. It was as if they were celebrating New Year's. Opposite them were Connie and Linux sitting on both sides of Hilda. The two had the same murderous expression. Behind them were Anthony, Francis, and Lou. Two groups of people were divided into two sides. Like a peacemaker, Byron came up and said, "Brothers from the Das Family, madam of the L
During this whole time, Peace did not dare look up once. She figured these thoughts must have gone through Connie's mind: How can William's father in law be this crude? Why did William marry a woman of such a background? Was this how the matriarch of the Cannon Family was brought up? The Cannon's are such a disgrace! Hilda announced, "We're leaving now!" There was nothing much she could do in this situation either, but the damage had been done. She did not plan on apologizing or paying for his medical bills, not even for a rabies shot. Just then, William walked through the door. He had already heard of what happened. Seeing the somber look on Connie's face, he gave a sincere apology. "I'm so sorry you had to see this." Connie did not answer him and simply stormed off. The situation left William feeling both frustrated and embarrassed. Inside the conference room, Peace felt even more ashamed to face William and the Cannon Family. She kept her head down and let her tears continue
After thinking about it for a while, he decided to bring up the 'relative' that had always been hard to talk about. "There, there. Did you see my relative who was there earlier? He killed so many people before, but he is still able to live brazenly now. Don't take it too hard. Connie doesn't hold on to petty grudges. I know her. She won't hold this against you. If it makes you feel better, we can bring some gifts to her and apologize when we get back." She wiped off her tears and managed to give him a nod. The Das' and Orji's would probably be too afraid to come again this time around. Since Peace had grown up in that place, she knew the survival rules and social conduct there. Someone once wronged one of the chiefs in the county. Later, all the buildings, except for that family's house, in the neighborhood got torn down. To that family, it was practically putting them in exile. Because the place was only so big, news that they had wronged the chief quickly spread. Soon, they wer
Shamayeta was sobbing uncontrollably while a pale faced Peace tried to console her. William also arrived at the scene and had a deep frown on his face when he went inside to look. He was the one who had sent Ray there, but now Ray was dead. He had to get to the bottom of it! Additionally, this incident created a huge fear in Taadi City. He had to find out what happened before the situation got out of hand. Meanwhile, Rex rushed over to the site with the feeling that this case had something to do with him. When he saw William, he inquired, "What happened? Did you find the culprit?" With his brows knitted together, William answered, "There's not much to go on. The culprit did this in a very professional and flawless way. The incisions were made very neatly, and each cut was fatal. It didn't take long for him to finish the task. There are no footprints or useful evidence at the scene. Surveillance footage isn't much help either." "The culprit is extremely violent. His sole reason fo
Firstly, problems kept coming one after the other at the Jordan Group. In Africa, the Jordan Industries' headquarters were ambushed repeatedly and several people in charge were killed. Some projects were left without a leader, causing chaos within the company. Additionally, several of their business partners canceled their partnerships all of a sudden which only complicated things further. At the Jordan Family's home in Europe, an urgent elders' council was convened to find various reasons to dismiss Connie from her post in the family and in the business. The family sent someone to take charge of the business in Africa. It seemed like they wanted to take this chance to remove the mother and son duo from the company for good. In Taadi, both Dragon Technology Corporation and DAB Group fell into the midst of a tax turmoil. Someone had reported them for tax evasion, putting the audit department under investigation. Furthermore, Bilinsk International was also reported. The other part
Once the two parties exchanged greetings with each other, they sat down on opposite sides of each other. A middle aged man who was on equal footing with William had come from the military. He must have had a strong backing. If William hadn't recommended him, Hilda would never have met someone like him. She had the assistant hand over the relevant documents. "These are the related research information on the camouflage feature. The results we've gotten over the years are all in there." The other party received the documents with a smile. After the brief meeting, they took the documents with them and left through the secret passageway. Because they left just as discreetly as they had arrived, the people at the newspaper office were completely unaware that several big figures had dropped by. When Caleb went to save Hilda after Anthony abducted her a few years ago, he unintentionally exhibited Jordan Military Technology's latest camouflage feature. It allowed one to change colors ac
