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
A successful decision maker had to be aware of the strengths and weaknesses of the people working under him, and be able to use them during critical times. Connie did not use those she had doubts over while those she did use did not give her any doubts. As for the list of moles in the Jordan Group, Jerome had already handed that over to Connie. Connie wanted to find an opportunity to get rid of those people, but she still had not done so for fear that it might alert the enemy. Now, Hilda was going to take this chance to get rid of them! Despite not being in Africa, Hilda already had everything set up there. During this time, Teddy called countless times to ask about the situation and whether they needed his help. Hilda did not want Connie to be in Teddy's debt because of this, so she declined his offer. Unexpectedly, Jerome also called. "Hilda, I heard about what happened with your mother and brother. Don't worry. Your mother has a plan." In fact, Hilda already knew that Conni
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
