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
In a blink of an eye, Luna was already five years old. Hilda remembered the first time she met Luna, she was only slightly over two. I remember holding her tiny body in my arms, she smelled so sweet and felt so soft. Now that she's five, she's also bigger and heavier. Sadly, Hilda had forgotten what it felt like when Luna was in her belly, and how she and Nathan awaited the arrival of their little princess. She also forgot how heart wrenching parting ways was. Kissing Luna, she noticed that Luna seemed a bit sleepy already. After letting out a yawn, Luna asked in a tired voice, "Mommy, why doesn't Daddy come home anymore?" Hilda answered warmly, "Daddy has been busy working these past two days. He will come back once he's done.” Luna was still upset as she lay sprawled out in Hilda's arms. Even though she was sleepy, she kept her eyes wide open like something was bothering her. "Sweetie, is something bothering you? Can you tell me about it?” After a moment of hesitation, the
Once they got home, Hilda urged the nanny who was looking after Luna to pay more attention whenever Luna had a loose tooth. They could not waste a single one. It was an investment in the health of their family in the future.One day, this technology might turn into reality. What if there was someone in their family who needed it?After they got home, Luna continued to sob softly to herself."Okay, okay. It's my bad. Can you put up with it a bit more, sweetie?" Hilda was trying to put Luna to sleep, but she was still sobbing in misery and could not fall asleep.A fallen baby tooth was useless. It had to be pulled out while it was still loose and quickly stored in a specialized way in order for the dental pulp stem cells to be viable for future use.Moreover, one baby tooth was not enough, they needed several. Luna still had to get her teeth pulled out several more times in the future.That is a bit cruel..After Nathan took a shower, he carried Luna into his arms. Lying there, she crie
