The rest of them remained silent as they watched Elizabeth's actions. Herman too seemed to have understood that Elizabeth came to catch them cheating in the act, so he kept silent and waited for the show. Meanwhile, Arlo and Milo too clammed up as they silently watched Elizabeth. Arlo even put on a puzzled expression and asked, "What's wrong, Mother? Do you need to use the washroom?" Sitting elegantly on the sofa, Jerome remained quiet with a subtle smirk on his delicate features as he watched Elizabeth attempting to catch them red handed. Placing her hand on the washroom door handle, Elizabeth hesitated to push open the door because she knew that as soon as she did, there would be an unrestorable fissure between her and Jerome. However, she had to lift the veil! Shuddering, her hand pressed on the handle. However, the door did not swing open as it was locked from the inside. Furiously, Elizabeth knocked at the door and roared, "Come on out, Connie!" Nevertheless, there was no
Taadi had slow development in this aspect and there were only a few state owned cryobanks, but Connie received approval and opened the first private cryobank. As they spoke about this, Connie suddenly remembered that when she was young, saving frozen samples in the cryobank had just entered the public eye and she seemed to have saved some eggs after her babies died. Back then, Adrian was dead too and it made her feel like she had lost everything. She seemed to have changed overnight and she focused all of her energy on the Jordan Family. She didn't want to get married, she couldn't have any feelings for another man more than admiration and she knew that she wouldn't build a family for the rest of her life. So she froze her eggs for future plans. Connie remembered that she had paid the fees for 70 years all in one go with the money from the Jordan family. Almost 30 years have passed, I wonder what has happened to my eggs that I saved in the cryobank abroad? I can't remember the na
Connie thought that her own genes were perfect. She was wise and calm. Nathan and Hilda's child, Luna, not only had the brains of the Family, she also had the physical agility of the family too. Luna had been practicing taekwondo lately and she was really talented. Even though Nathan looked a little soft, he used to work in the special forces during his earlier years, which was why Connie thought if Nathan would be gone in the future, at least they had some of his sperm in the cryobank. Although Nathan was over his prime, if they extracted more, they would at least have some that they could use. Even though Nathan knew that his mother in law had good intentions, as he listened to Connie's tone, he felt that she had bad intentions deep down. Why do I have a feeling that she's treating me like a goose who lays golden eggs? "Come on." Hilda urged. "I'll take you to the extraction room.” With that, the two of them went into the allocated sperm collection room. As soon as they enter
Meanwhile, Teddy had been really clingy to Connie as of late. He often made excuses to visit her house to harass her, so Hilda often saw him around the house. Teddy was so shameless that it was disgusting. He wore thin clothes every time he visited and the whole family was angry about this, especially Sonnia who lived next door. Every time Teddy came, his daughter Valerie would wander around maliciously. "Connie, my birthday is coming up so I'll be having a special birthday party. Would you like to attend?" Teddy was wearing a thin shirt that outlined his figure as he sat close to Connie. Connie was reading the newspaper and she was really annoyed by him so she murmured, "I'll be there." Sitting at the side, Luna was eating fruits and she secretly asked Hilda, "Mommy, why is that old man always clinging to grandma?" Hearing this, Hilda glanced at Teddy. "Only adults can act like that" Hilda hurriedly replied. "Children are not allowed to." Luna nodded. "Mommy, why don't you ac
This was a private hospital under Nathan's name. The pet hospital was just a part of it and the obstetrics and gynecology department in this hospital had a great reputation. "What's going on?" Hilda wondered out loud, surprised written all over her face. Then, she hurriedly placed the dog in the car and followed Teddy into the obstetrics and gynecology department. That j*rk impregnated someone? When did he get someone pregnant? Isn't he pursuing Connie? How can this be? Is he pursuing Connie because he wants her to raise his child? Hilda observed Teddy discreetly. After Teddy left, Hilda immediately ran over to see the files, which revealed that the lady with Teddy was three months pregnant with twins. Three months... the lady is three months pregnant. Is Teddy the father? I remember that he wasn't in Taadi City three months ago. However, he pursues Connie like crazy. He is expecting a baby with another lady but he chases after Connie everyday. Moreover, Connie seems to have cha
Nathan put a collar on each dog according to the order they were born to distinguish them before carefully placing them next to their mother. Hilda held a puppy and stared at it. The newborn puppy was just born so it was soft and small. "Hubby, look! It's so pretty" Hilda cooed in admiration. Nathan immediately frowned. It's not strange for her to think the puppy is pretty, but when she said it while she's wearing food grade gloves, I can't help but think that she's actually hungry… Hilda held the puppy in her hands and she gazed at it. It was covered in only a thin layer of fur and its pink skin was still visible, it was light as a feather in her hands. "Hubby, look at its little claws and paws. How cute!" In her hands, the newborn puppy looked like a little ball of flesh. At that moment, Hilda had on a pair of gloves that looked like the ones she would usually wear when she had barbequed meat. As such, the father of the puppy leapt forward and started to whine at her. And
In the car, Sonnia had a sullen expression and did not speak a word. Grabbing Sonnia's phone, Hilda saw that someone had sent a photo to her anonymously. In that photo was Ryan, who had recently been sent to join a painting class. It turned out that Sonnia really wanted him to pick up drawing as a skill and become an elegant artist in the future. Much to Hilda's surprise, on Ryan's little face was a huge lipstick stain. In the photo, Ryan was carrying his backpack as he looked icily at the man who was holding him. It looked like Ryan had been kidnapped! All at once, Hilda was outraged and disgusted. "Who is this? How dare they... They kissed Ryan's cheek and deliberately left a lipstick stain!" At that point, Sonnia was grim. Pressing her lips together, she spat through gritted teeth, "Valerie." Sure enough, it was her again. She was Kyle's die hard fan and Teddy's daughter, it was clear the apple didn't fall far from the tree! She had deliberately sent the photo to provoke
In a smug manner, Valerie challenged, "There's an old saying in Taadi that goes, 'When there is a will, there is a way'. Right now, I have a strong will to steal Kyle's heart, and I will come up with many ways to take it. I will grab even the smallest opportunities to get what I want. He can run, but he'll never be able to hide from me. As long as I'm still around, both of you will never have peace. One day, Kyle will be mine!" She spoke with great pride, as if she was doing something truly honorable. "You!" At that point, Sonnia was shaking with anger. Her tiny figure looked like it was about to explode anytime. Indeed, even if Kyle was unwavering, it would still be extremely annoying to have her linger around like a fly. Recently, they had gotten sick and tired of Valerie. Not only did she harass Sonnia and Kyle, she even went as far as to kidnap Ryan. Sonnia was contemplating leaping forward to fight this foul woman, but since Ryan was still in her hands, she couldn't act reckle
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
