There was a bomb in Hilda's body! It was a bomb that was connected to her life, if she died, or the bomb was removed by force, the bomb would explode. Only a remote control could disable the bomb, but the same remote control could ignite it from far away! Nathan looked at her and her flat tummy. A person suddenly crossed his mind, Plaque. When Hilda was kidnapped by Plaque, she went missing for over 12 hours. She was only found the day after she was taken away, At that time, Plaque demanded for Connie to use Lily to exchange for Hilda. As Nathan refused to hand over Lily, he dressed up as Lily and managed to trick Plaque. In the end, not only did they manage to save Hilda, but they injured Plaque as well. After that, Plaque was taken down by Rex and the others. It was a full 12 hours! Anything could have happened during that 12 hours, for instance, burying a bomb in her belly. Hilda was found with only minor injuries on her body at that time, but in fact, there had been a bomb
Hilda was placed in a farmhouse located in a deserted area in the suburbs. The farmhouse was in a secluded area, surrounded by a 10km radius of land with barely any people around. Meanwhile, the situation on Nathan's side was not optimistic. He came out from the ruins covered in black ashes, but empty handed. The remote control had turned into ashes along with Teddy. No, according to what I know about Elizabeth, it would be impossible that she would give the remote control to Teddy so easily. Therefore, even if we were able to find it here, it may not be of much use. Nathan hurried home before he got to clean the ashes all over him. However, upon arriving home, he did not see Hilda, so he instantly gave her a call out of fluster. "Pumpkin, where are you?" Hilda, who was at the other end of the line, kept quiet for a moment before answering, "Don't worry. I'm fine. Mom has arranged for me to stay in a very safe place. There is an internet connection here, so I can still handle my
Hilda was stunned the moment he appeared. He is actually here? He is actually here! He is here! Her emotion transitioned from disbelief to elation, but her reasons made her push him away, and for the first time ever, she shouted at him in a stern voice, "Why are you here? Leave! Go away! I don't want to see you now!" She used all her strength to push him away, but as soon as her force landed on him, tears escaped her eyes. Her push made him stagger two steps back, but he immediately paced forward to hug her tightly, burying his face into her hair. "I'm not leaving." He held her tightly in his arms so that she could not push him away again. Being tightly held in his arms, she felt his hot breath on her neck underneath her hair. She wanted to push him away, but her strength had disappeared. "Why did you come? Leave now! I don't want you to die!" He was aware of what he would face by coming here, if Elizabeth were to activate the bomb now, both of them would die. However, Nathan r
The temperature was as low as ever. Hilda would often feel sluggish and unwilling to leave the house. However, every afternoon, when the temperature slightly rose, Kater would scratch the door, bugging her so that she would take him out for a walk. Though the sun was bright today, the weather was cold as usual. Since Hilda was more sensitive to cold, her limbs would often feel chilly. Despite wearing thick, warm clothes, her body temperature still dropped, and she still felt cold when she was outside. With their hands held together, the two of them took a stroll at the nearby snowfield. The snow, which had yet to melt, was fluffy, and their footprints appeared on the snow as they walked. The two of them sauntered in the snow. It had been a long time since they had taken such a leisure stroll. However, the dog was running around happily, which made the atmosphere suddenly become a little silly. Nathan only wished to enjoy every minute and second he had with her. As they were wa
After school had ended, Damian looked around for his granddaughter. Since everyone in the class wore the same outfit, he looked for the shortest one. Luna was in high spirits after attending class for the first day as a third grade student. Along the way, she chatted like a little sparrow about what happened in the school today. "This year's new semester trial examination, my English result was not as good as everyone else's, but my Mathematics and Spanish results were better than everyone else's. Everyone in the class is so amazing, so I need to work harder! Hey, grandpa, I even received a red flower from the student who sat next to me." When they arrived at the entrance, Damian held Luna's hand on their way to the car before she entered the car. At the same time, a vehicle of Durrett Group happened to pass by them. As it was currently a peak time to pick children up from school, there was high traffic at the nearby roads, and the cars had to travel at a much slower speed. Coinci
The bomb was powered using the kinetic energy of the human body, so it could last a lifetime without any power failure. Also, Hilda definitely would not be willing to hide away forever because her personality would not allow her to do so. She did nothing wrong, so there was no reason for her to avoid everyone for the rest of her life. Or maybe, they could use the power of the Clemon and Damian Families by asking the government to intervene, but it was too big of a risk because they couldn't trust them. Therefore, it was extremely difficult for Connie to choose because in every choice, she had to gamble her own daughter's life. How can I bring myself to choose? In the end, the decision was in Hilda's hands because Connie just couldn't make the choice for her. If she chose to gamble, they would gamble. If she chose to hide, they would let her hide. If she wanted Connie to surrender to Elizabeth for her sake, she would be willing to do so. The choices were placed in front of her
Johnathan was exposed by Anthony for not having any academic qualifications, but he could only glare at him viciously without having anything to back him up. Anthony took out the equipment that he had already prepared and put on a white coat. As he put on his gloves and mask, he refused to look at Johnathan again. At the moment, Johnathan was staring at him while gritting his teeth, but internally, his emotions were extremely complicated. Everyone knew that this might lead to their death. Finally, Johnathan tacitly agreed for Anthony to take his place as surgeon because he once had the same bomb in his body before, so he was more experienced and more specialized than the self taught Johnathan. Not only that, this matter should indeed be left to him. He and Linux must be the ones to do it. It was them who had indirectly placed the bomb inside Hilda, so they should be the one to take it out. As for Anthony, his life had already come to an end, and every extra day he got to live
At the same time, Nathan brought Kater into the car with him. It was something that they had previously agreed on, Nathan needing to leave as well. If anything happens to Hilda, Luna would lose her mother, so as a father, I can't endanger myself either. Before they parted ways, Hilda stood on the steps of the cottage while he stood below, which allowed them to meet each other's gaze at eye level. After the spring rain, the ground was now covered with mud, and together with his eyes, the air was moist. However, she still tried her best to reveal a smile. "If we succeed this time, we'll get married. I have already discussed it with my mom. She and Linux will help me out with the Jordan Family. No matter what, this wedding shall not be delayed any longer." Nathan nodded and did not say anything else. "Yes." As the two of them smiled at each other, they turned in the opposite directions and left without speaking further. While wearing cotton sandals and a hospital gown, she turned
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
