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
Ever since Jerome moved over, his Norwegian Forest cat, General, also came with him and it would fight with Fly from time to time. Even though General looked like a large cat, it was short tempered because up until now, it still remembered the slap that Fly gave it all those years ago. It also held shares in the Smith Group, which made it rich, youthful and strong too. On the other hand, Fly was old and poor without much confidence, so it was not a match against General's mannerism and strength. However, Fly was a local cat, so it had the power to join hands with the local natives living in the Imperial, just like that, a bunch of orange cats fought with a few of Jerome's cats for the top position in the Imperial. A few days ago, Fly even went to the Imperial Palace to seek help from the cats there to have the numbers to win. Unexpectedly, just as victory was upon them, they were all ambushed and captured by Luna, who was nearby. She then shaved their fur to make pillows. As soo
According to Hilda and Nathan's requirements, they wanted the wedding to be grand, extravagant and earth shattering, which would then dominate the headlines for several days. Not only had they planned to invite the noble families of Taadi City and Western Europe, but they also intended to invite celebrities, politicians and collaborators from every industry! They wanted to inform the whole world that they were getting married with another child on its way! Even though it was a remarriage, they wanted it to be an extravagant one! Klaus then received the invitation and replied, "I definitely will." After dinner, he discussed business with them before leaving with the invitation card. Everyone else who came for the free meal also took the chance to grab an invitation card before they left. All of the names on the invitation cards were handwritten by both Zis and Nathan themselves. This is worth a lot! When Zis received the compliment, he felt elated, so he continued working hard
In the military Residence, the moment Old master Clemon knew about the wedding, he threw tantrums about heading to the scene so that he could watch his beloved grandson's marriage. This is good news! However, William kindly reminded, "Old Man, you've been dead for almost 2 to 3 years now." He's right... I've been dead for a few years now. My death was publicly released in the news and I was even given an obituary. I can't reveal that I've been alive all along. That thought immediately made Old master Clemon sad. Everyone in the Clemon Family did not object to the marriage. But there were still some people who had the courage to secretly criticize Connie and Jerome's marriage. After all, not long ago, he had publicly announced that Elizabeth was his wife. Now, not only was he getting married to Connie, he even had two sons with her. Although they were happy, nobody was certain as to who Arlo and Milo's biological mother was. The two of them don't look like Connie at all. Instead,
Rex loosened the bulletproof vest that he wore before removing his explosion proof helmet from his head. He earnestly continued watching the progress. Samuel walked up onto the stage under the scrutiny of the crowd. I didn't want to show up! However, Nathan claimed that if I were to fail to handle this situation, he would send over Kater and both generations of its litter of puppies to my place for a summer vacation! Once he walked up onto the stage, he saw Teresa who was among the Jordan's and Giry seated beside her. I have to be here today. After calming down, Samuel passionately started his speech, "Greetings, everybody. My name is Samuel Fleming and it bears the meaning of soaring aspirations. It is my honor to host this forum on this fine day. Before the forum begins, let's start the ball rolling by watching a theatrical performance!" The audience's expression gradually turned cold and distant. The regular army from the Clemon and Cannon Family, the mercenary from the Bow
A sheen of cold sweat formed across Samuel's forehead. He tried to brush it off by chuckling awkwardly. "The world is such a huge place, there is constantly a variety of extraordinary things happening. In fact, there are all sorts of different traditions and practices everywhere in the world. Hence, it is only natural to have conflicts at times. Ladies and gentlemen, please calm down. Next, it's time for an advertisement. Let's invite Miss Hilda Adams to share more about her new project! Let's give her a round of applause!" The audience was dumbfounded. Why are they showing an advert as usual under extraordinary circumstances? The sudden change of segments was especially obvious among the family members, who looked utterly bewildered. We are here to talk business! Why are they taking full advantage by advertising about an Investment?! Hilda went onstage under the crowd's scrutiny. She cleared her throat before starting her speech. "Everybody, please have a look. A copy of the con
The Jordans seem dead set about that too. In all honesty, the true issue stems from the Jordan Family because they are more powerful after all. Therefore, they have been aggressive while insisting on having their way. I know that we have to give them an answer today. It is obvious that the Jordan Family is set on getting their hands on Hilda and Luna. On the other hand, Hilda was interacting with the members of the Jordan Family while jotting down notes in her small notebook. They seemed to have slightly learned more about her, but they were in a hurry to include her into their record book. Luna is extremely popular too. "Connie." Jerome suddenly interrupted Connie from her train of thoughts. His lightly wrinkled hand softly held onto her paw, just like thirty years ago when they were still youths and everything had not changed. What changed instead was their identities. Later in life, despite losing my memories, I still harbored a subconscious idea because I knew that I had to m
Connie was about to leave with her family, so she glanced at the crowd of Jordans in annoyance. "I've made myself clear. Linux already bears the Jordan Family name. My daughter and her unborn sons will have their freedom to choose. As for my husband, Jerome Bowen, there is no tradition of changing family names. My granddaughter will not change her last name too. This is my decision and it's also my daughter, Hilda Adams' wish. If you think that I've gone overboard, please remove me from the company as well as the family. I'll take on the Bowen Family name in the future." Jerome was delighted. I love this side of her. Right now, she is going against the Jordan Family, but she's not doing this out of spite. On the contrary, she can afford to do that because she has capability now. It doesn't matter whether the Jordan Family wants her around. Even if Connie leaves, Linux is still there to hold the fort down. In fact, Connie's departure is a loss to the Jordans. "Connie!!" The Jordan fa
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
