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
After instructing Luna not to peek, he made a phone call. "Everyone, come over immediately. Guard intersections Z, H, Y, and R. Look out for the license plate D357X, but do not intercept, just tail them discreetly. Be careful not to alert them. Also, send me the surveillance footage of the several nearby blocks and report to me if there's a situation." "Kyle, I'm sending you a license plate. Find out which monster it belongs to." "William, something has happened on my side. I'll need you to come and handle it." After getting word of the incident at the kindergarten, Nathan and Hilda hurried back. Luna was already home, she was oblivious to what had happened earlier as she happily told Hilda about her day at the kindergarten. Hilda hugged her, the joy of surviving a close brush with death still lingering in her heart. This time, she wouldn't let the matter rest! She would not! As for Damian, he had yet to return. After learning about the attack on Hilda, he went to look for the
As she watched the line of cars drive off, Winnifred had a look of worry plastered on her face, but it was just an act, as her eyes seemed to gleam with an evil light. Behind her, Enoch asked worriedly, "What do we do about those few executives that held high positions?" Winnifred hid away her false look of concern and smiled. "The company has to continue operating as usual. We won't stop because of the departure of those few people. It seems that those directors won't be able to come back to the office for the time being, so I reckon we let our people take their places." Winnifred turned and walked into the Jones Group, satisfied with the situation. She didn't expect that Elizabeth would find herself in such a mishap this time. It seemed that the woman was failing miserably at every turn. She wanted to mess with Connie by tackling Hilda and Luna but faced a counter attack instead. Elizabeth had ways to free herself, but the case was different for the other employees of Jones Gro
Upon returning, Connie accompanied Luna to shoot a reality show, but the script of the next few episodes had been changed from a parent child science class to a parent child national defense class. The shooting location had been switched to a military camp, and it was still being broadcasted on the military channel. Nathan continued his work while Hilda had begun to work on DAB Group's new products for the next season. Everyone was kept busy. Besides going to work, Hilda was also attending graduate school, so her hands were considerably full, but everyone followed suit. They started to work while pursuing a graduate degree on the side, attending classes every week. Needless to say, each of them had encountered their fair share of ups and downs in life. After so many years had passed, all of their businesses had grown stable, so they all decided to go back to school to continue with their education. "Hilda, you can continue to f**king dawdle. I'm not waiting for you!" Walking on
Anthony was riding a bicycle as well, but he didn't join them for classes. Instead, he rode toward the concession stand. After returning the bike, he went in to buy a coffee. He bought a cup of coffee, then walked into the school. He got to the university's alumni corridor where photos and information of the most decorated students that Taadi University had for the past century since their establishment was posted. There was Nathan, Kyle, Hilda, and of course, himself. Unfortunately, his was a black and white portrait. A few years ago, his identity was exposed, and he was ready to capture Hilda, but everything ended up in smoke. Afterward, he disappeared from the world. According to the news, he had volunteered to be taken hostage in order to save his colleagues that had been kidnapped by a terrorist group. After getting them out, he had sacrificed himself. Taadi University had hung his picture in the alumni corridor where freshmen would get to know him at the start of every s
When they arrived home, Sonnia and Kyle were already waiting. Damian had also returned from picking up the children, and they were chattering like a flock of sparrows. Rumors about Ryan getting himself a girlfriend at the kindergarten had gotten to Sonnia, and once Sonnia knew something, everyone else would too. "Ryan, what's your girlfriend's name? Is she pretty? Why don't you bring her back and show Mommy? Is it Bella? Jess? It's Little Marsha, isn't it?" No matter how many questions she peppered him with, Ryan refused to say anything. The expression on his face showed that he was truly living up to his nickname, Sour Face. Since she couldn't get an answer out of Ryan, Sonnia tried to ask Luna, but she claimed not to know anything. Afterward, Sonnia had a chat with Hilda. "Why aren't you concerned about Luna? Maybe she's also gotten herself a boyfriend in kindergarten. Kids nowadays grow up so fast!" Watching Luna, Hilda felt completely at ease. She knew that Luna would not st
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
