Rex did not know how he managed to leave the wedding banquet. It felt as if every step he took was a stab to his heart and he felt incredibly helpless for the first time in his life. The people who harmed Shamayeta were standing right in front of me, yet I don't have the means to bring them to justice... By the time he returned to his senses, he was standing outside. If only I had answered that phone call... He knew that nothing would change even if he had answered that phone call. At the end of the day, they would still try to harm her, and she would still jump off the eighth floor out of despair. Nonetheless, he was racked with guilt. Hilda was on the phone while Linux and Thomas were talking in a low voice. They seemed to be discussing their countermeasures. Now that they knew the Bowen twins were behind the incident, they would never let the twins get away with it. First of all, they needed to start collecting evidence. Elizabeth and Connie had faced off against each other
The Das Family had dragged Shamayeta out of the hospital ward, causing her to bounce around on the hospital bed. As a result, she looked very restless and her eyebrows were slightly furrowed together. If she had obeyed the Bowen twins back then, she would be swimming in success by now. She would have received all sorts of benefits and resources... She wouldn't have needed to suffer so much. But, she rejected them. She would rather give up her life than bow down to their unspoken rules! I will not let her die! Rex hurriedly walked over to Mr. Das and loudly said, "I will not allow you to take Shamayeta away!" When Mr. Das saw that the newly arrived person was just a young man, he completely disregarded Rex and even went so far as to unapologetically lash out at Rex, "Who are you?! What right do you have to interfere with the Das Family's matters?! Shamayeta is my daughter! I am free to take her wherever I want! It's none of your business!" Rex was about to say something when Mr. D
Peace held Shamayeta's cold hands in hers and resolutely assured her "Don't worry. I will never abandon you!" Shamayeta's voice was very soft, and the breath in her chest felt as if it could dissipate at any time. Still, she gritted her teeth and held on. I don't want to die! No matter how much money it'll cost, I want to live! I will work hard to pay off my debts! Unfortunately, the Das Family seemed to have decided that she would not survive. They simply wanted the 10 million and the luxurious house. Shamayeta looked at the people protecting her and felt tears spilling from her eyes... Despite knowing that Shamayeta had regained consciousness, they refused to let her go. Compared to the 15 million they would receive in compensation, their disabled daughter was nothing. Thus, they tried to grab Shamayeta again with the help of the Jones Family. Meanwhile, the Bowen twins were watching the entire farce in amusement. All of a sudden, Hilda seemed to think of something and yelled
Since the men from the Bowen Family and the Jones Family had attacked the police, the police were forced to draw their guns in a warning. They were undaunted even when the police took out their guns. After all, they themselves had guns too. By the time both sides took out their guns, the situation had escalated beyond control. Therefore, Hilda hurriedly hid somewhere while Shamayeta was quickly wheeled back to the hospital ward for treatment. Several gunshots rang out and everybody in the hospital fled in all directions. The Bowen Family, the Jones Family, the police, and the military were mixed among each other as gunfire broke out. Hilda was in hiding and didn't know what was going on. However, she heard gunfire coming from the lobby downstairs, followed by police sirens. Since they were at a hospital, no ambulance came. After the scuffle, the men from the Jones Family and the Bowen Family were lying on the ground. A bloodbath had occurred in the lobby of the hospital. Meanwhil
Shamayeta lay on the hospital bed without waking up. Although she was out of danger, she continued to sleep through most of the day. She was unable to move and had to rely on the medical equipment to keep her alive, but she was slowly recovering. Rex stared at Shamayeta, who was sleeping deeply, then glanced at the marriage certificate in his hand. For a moment, he couldn't understand what was going on. At the time, I just wanted a reason to protect her. But, everybody seems to have taken it seriously. Peace, William, and even Shamayeta believe that it's real. Just like that, I became Shamayeta's husband. He felt like he was in a dream, he was completely unprepared for it. "Rex, you should take care of Shamayeta at the hospital. I'll take care of matters at the company for you." He couldn't recover from the shock and befuddlement that he was actually married. When he heard Thomas's voice, he blankly made a non committal sound in response while staring at the marriage certificate
Hilda glanced at the invitation. It was an invitation to Winnifred's engagement party. Her fiancé was the head of an overseas consortium. He was 52 years old, and it was his second marriage. ............. Winnifred took over the follow up matters involving the Bowen twins. Sure enough, it was just as Hilda had expected, they were released from custody. In the end, Vivian, Becky, and the employees of the hotel were charged with the crime of intentionally causing harm to others. Vivian was deemed the mastermind behind the incident while Becky and the employees of the hotel were accomplices. Consequently, Vivian was given a suspended death sentence, and the rest were sentenced to prison. Meanwhile, the Bowen twins were treated as foreigners since they were not naturalized. Not only were they backed by a powerful force, but their lawyers were also very good at their jobs. In the end, both of them were diagnosed with severe mental illnesses. They were deported and extradited back to t
Rex briskly walked out of the Civil Affairs Bureau with a light heart after separating from Shamayeta. Breathing in the smog filled air outside, it even tasted sweet to him. The heavy weight pressing down on his heart was gone as he hurriedly made a phone call to Thomas. "Hey! What are you doing? Come on, why are you working? Come out and play. Let me tell you, I'm divorced! Come and drink with me to celebrate! Tsk. Shamayeta has somebody she loves. I can't hold her back now, can I? Don't worry, I'm not that kind of person. We divorced amicably. She doesn't have feelings for me and asked for the divorce herself. I even got her a brand new contract! I'll come and pick you up at the company..." Shamayeta watched as Rex walked away happily, then she turned her gaze to the thin and green divorce certificate in her hands. At the same time, her tears fell silently. The person I love is none other than Rex! When they got married, the Cannon Family tacitly accepted that they got married
Every year, the one to scatter the most manure in the shortest time would be the king among the children of the same age group. Moreover, they would receive a prize when they got home. Every single child from the two Family would have to scatter the manure at least once before they reached eighteen years old. William, Rex, Nathan, Lily, and the others were no exception. It was a ritual. Since the Cannon Family was a military family, most of their children would grow up to become part of the army. They did not want weaklings that could not withstand the harsh realities of life. They wanted fighters who went through all sorts of challenges in life, understood the country's citizens, and were able to protect their country from danger! Nathan was unable to imagine his beautiful little baby scattering manure in the future... It was still too early for Luna right now. She was only five years old. She couldn't even pick up the bucket of manure even if she wanted to. She would only be w
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
