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
Nathan and Hilda might also get divorced because he would want to sever all ties with Hilda's family as quickly as he could. Other questions started to follow like who had custody of the child? Who kept the dogs, cats, and the Bedlington Terrier? What about their rooster? That pig of theirs hadn't made an appearance for a while. Rumors claimed that it didn't make it past News Year's Eve. The people's attention was directed to those areas as if it was no longer important whether Connie killed the man or not, Nathan's divorce was the real breaking news. During this time, however, Nathan suddenly shared a new tweet on his Twitter account. It was an announcement of the Jordan Medical Technology Company's breakthrough in their research for a cure for ALS. The drug was expected to officially go on the market within three years. Shortly after that announcement was made, the reality show 'My Grandma in Shining Armor' that was rumored to have flopped because of Connie, announced its relea
The woman was about to pounce on her when a hand suddenly shoved Hilda into the car. "Hurry up and go. She's not normal." Anthony said solemnly. With that, he closed the car door with one hand. Hilda scrambled to settle down, but an unexpected 'bang' sounded. Anthony was being choked by Mrs. Das, and his whole body was pressed against the window. "Give me back my son! Give me back my son!" Mrs. Das had gone completely insane. She was strangling Anthony, clearly intent on killing him. Anthony's face instantly flushed red, but he didn't resist her. Instead, he waited for the two bodyguards who had been previously knocked to the ground to yank Mrs. Das away. "Oh, God help me!" Hilda exclaimed, anxiously trying to open the car door, but Mrs. Das had Anthony pressed firmly against the car. No matter how hard she tried, the door wouldn't budge. "Hurry... go!" Anthony strained to twist his neck, and the side of his face was reflected on the glass window. Hilda saw that there were red
"Cover me!" Anthony suddenly said to the two people next to him. At the same time, he opened the door of the security booth with lightning speed and the three of them ran out. Upon seeing them, Mrs. Das charged toward them like a lunatic to strangle them, but the two bodyguards stepped forward to block her. Anthony sprinted toward a motorbike at the side and left the place without stopping for even a second. By the time Mrs. Das broke away from the two bodyguards, he had already gone far. At this point, the effects of the drug were wearing off, causing Mrs. Das to slump listlessly to the ground. It was at this moment that the police car arrived. Meanwhile, Hilda was being chased by several cars. Her hair stood on end, and her mind was tense as she looked warily from side to side. It wasn't just two, there were countless cars on her tail. It wasn't rush hour, but there were still many cars on the three lane highway. Two of the cars, in particular, kept close behind her, trying
Riding his motorbike, Anthony got onto the highway, but there was traffic along the way. Fire engines and police cars drove past, obstructing the entire viaduct. There was smoke rising up ahead, and it was said that there was a car accident. He was extremely anxious. Lucky for him, he was on a motorbike, so other than the traffic police, he didn't have anyone else to fear. He sped his way through the congested road, and in just a split second, he saw Hilda's car parked on the roadside while she spoke to the two officers. Fortunately, she's fine. Anthony got down from his bike and wanted to rush up and give her a hug, only to find that a car had stopped next to Hilda in the unopened bypass. The car door opened, and Nathan got down in a hurry. "Hubby!" Hilda saw him and ran barefoot toward him. Nathan opened his arms wide and picked her up, then spun her around with the fierce joy of seeing his loved one survive a disaster. Even the two traffic police couldn't help but smile. L
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
