Just like that, Teddy moved in with them, which Hilda was quite upset about. Even though she didn't care about him, someone had to. As such, this task had been 'assigned' to the son in law, Nathan. He specially prepared a nursery for Connie's newborn child and treated him really well. Meanwhile, Teddy stayed in Connie's bedroom as he wished. At the same time, Connie had fled as expected. In the past, she couldn't go a day without seeing her three darlings. This time, her escape lasted a few days. These few days, she never came home, nor did she miss her darlings. In fact, if this happened to anyone else, they would have run too. However, at the end of the day, Connie still had to face that child whether she liked it or not. Even though she didn't get to be pregnant, that child was still hers. Meanwhile, Teddy, who had just made his way up to an advantageous position, appeared to be incomparably calm. After all, he and his child had already moved in to live with Connie. Where el
Since attending elementary school, Luna seemed to have grown smarter than before. While she was full of confidence and talent, she was also lively and cheerful. Her teachers, principal, and even other parents were fond of her. Frankly, Nathan was extremely proud of her. On the other hand, Hilda was working overtime at the office. There was a batch of new products that were going to be launched soon, and everyone at the office was swamped with work and stayed back. When Nathan finished work, he went to pick Luna up. She was carrying a small backpack, and she had on a red scarf. As soon as got into the car, she started to babble away. "Daddy, I got a ninety nine on my language test. I lost a point from the essay section!" "I got a ninety five for my math test. The teacher said the last question was just ordinary addition and subtraction, and that I had to use the baby method of answering, and not the method Uncle Linux taught me. She said only adults could use that method!" When
DAB Group was also in the midst of preparing for the 'black Friday' shopping festival, so she had been busy with work until late at night recently. Even when she came home, she would be working for Luna at her illegal workshop. As a matter of fact, everyone in the family was supportive of Luna's first ever business. Even Connie who had fled would often call to encourage her to be persistent in her business. On top of that, the entire family was happy to provide her with whatever resources she needed. With plenty of encouragement, Luna was full of confidence and worked even harder to the point where the family pets were going to be bald soon. Fortunately, they had many pets at home, so they could afford to be deshredded to this extent. After the fur was collected and disinfected, Hilda would wear a face mask and a pair of gloves to stuff the fur into pillows and keychain charms before sending them to Caleb for sewing works. Then, the items would be disinfected again and marked wi
Klaus glanced at it. The license read, 'Luna Clemon's Pet Accessory Creative Studio.' Nathan was the legal person, and the registered capital was 100,000. The location registered was the basement of the Imperial of Nathan's villa. The required documents and procedures were complete, and it seemed like this was a serious matter. However, Klaus was reluctant to provide insurance for her illegal workshop. At that moment, he was put in a difficult position. Glancing at Nathan, he was hoping that he would say something as her father. However, he didn't look like he was going to make a move. He remained silent so that Luna could learn to fight for herself. She had to learn to be independent, especially when he was no longer here. Upon sensing Klaus's hesitation, she pressed, "Is there anything else? Otherwise, you may send someone over to my studio for a site visit and evaluation.” At that point, Klaus felt helpless. He was considered to be an ally to Hilda now, and if he refused Lun
Hilda then pecked Luna on the cheek before consoling the children who had just been terminated. Then, she suggested, "We're going to celebrate tonight. Klaus, do stay with us for dinner!" Meanwhile, Nathan had already brought out his treasured champagne from the cellar just to celebrate Luna's achievement. The family was clearly over the moon. On the other hand, Klaus watched the warm and harmonious scene before him and gazed at Luna who was being showered with love like a little princess. At that moment, he felt something hot and wet in his eyes as memories of his past flooded his mind. He used to have a family too, he had parents and two elder brothers. That year, he received his first ever prize in his whole life. Even though it was only a small competition, his parents and brothers threw him a celebration with great enthusiasm. His mother even cooked specially for him that day. When he felt this atmosphere and joy, it was déjà vu. Because he was also someone who was loved de
In the video call, Connie would listen intently to Luna's report on the progress of her recent work, and she would affirm her and also give her relevant feedback. In addition, Linux would also give more thorough explanations while Nathan occasionally interjected. At the same time, Hilda would be responsible for taking minutes of the meeting. Amusingly, the presidents of Cross Group, Dragon Technology Corporation and DAB Group, the vice president of the Jordan Group, and the boss behind the Clemon Group and Bilinsk International were all on edge over the survival of a tiny store that sold dog pillows. To Connie, whether it was Hilda's dog collar store or Luna's dog pillow store, those were their careers they were fighting for. In fact, they were as important as her career in nuclear bombs, and they must be held in high regard.. "Sweetie, you did the right thing. Selling your father's autographed posters can only earn you quick money, and it isn't a good long term plan. You need to
While eating, Lou suddenly came over and whispered to Connie, who then nodded and revealed a knowing expression. As she expected, Teddy's child was not hers. Instead, it was Elizabeth's. Considering the fact that she wanted Connie to be the last of her line, Elizabeth surely would not easily hand over Connie's genes and carry on her bloodline for no reason! Soon, everything would be over. While Connie was living well, Hilda's life, on the other hand, was a living hell. Every day, she would be bickering with Teddy, who had thick skin and enough patience. He really didn't intend to leave at all. Not only did he touch Hilda's cat, but his son was also sleeping on Luna's bed, wearing Luna's clothes, and drinking Luna's baby formula. Still, Connie did not return, nor did she answer her phone. While the Damien's were managing Dragon Technology, the Jordan Group had Linux and Teresa. Connie had trained her successors well that even when she wasn't around, the businesses would still
Nathan was slaughtering ducks, and he was covered in blood and holding a butcher's knife. With a disdainful gaze, he watched as Klaus approached them. Sensing the murderous aura, Klaus stopped in his tracks as he observed Nathan cautiously. Just as Nathan was about to ask what he was doing here, Hilda dashed out to greet him warmly. "Klaus, you're here! Come in, everyone's waiting!" Hilda enthusiastically welcomed him. Under her protection, Klaus managed to successfully move past Nathan and entered the holiday villa. As soon as he was inside, Hilda complained to Nathan, "Klaus must be exhausted. I heard that the foreign employees of their company aren't given any holidays for the New Year's. How miserable! So, I invited him for dinner and to discuss a long term partnership between DAB Group and him." Without saying a word, Nathan then swung the knife and ruthlessly cut off the duck's head as he pretended that it was Klaus's. He looked disheveled from slaughtering the livestock
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
