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
This is the correct way for us to communicate with each other. How could Teresa possibly end up as a trophy wife? She is always a golden phoenix who is ready to soar into the heavens. Even if she has temporarily lost her shine and luster, she is still a golden phoenix. She has given up everything to be with me, so I can't trap her in a cage like a trophy wife. It is the Jordan Family's loss to give up on her. "Daddy, Mommy!" As Giry showed up out of nowhere, Samuel bent down to pick him up. Then, he brought his fiancée and son to join the rest of the crowd for a meal next door. It was extremely lively in the banquet hall next door where the senior family members of the Bowens, the Damien's, and the Clemons were. While enjoying their meals, they complained about the Jordan Family. During the mealtime, Linux toasted Connie while sincerely wishing her, "Mother, I wish you a happy marriage." I am very lucky because I met Connie when I was still young. I am fortunate enough to grow up
Both mother and son in law, Nathan and Connie, could not take a break at that point even if they wanted to. They were walking around while holding onto their phones. "The helicopter, which is used to scatter the flowers, has to be fast!" "Giry and Luna will be the flower children because Sour Face doesn't seem to be keen on it." "Use Jordan Sportscar as the standardized wedding cars. Since we are wearing the traditional wedding costumes, we'll have to follow the customs! When we need to pay our respects to the elders within the family, let the elders from the Damien and Clemon Families take their seats." Jerome took almost the entire day to try the wedding attires. He was elated to the point where he lost track of the time since he was enjoying himself with the delicate process. At that moment, the phone he kept in his purse started to suddenly ring. He took out his phone to check who the caller was and he noticed that it was an unfamiliar number. "Hello, may I know who is on th
Elizabeth only gave Jerome the opportunity and the resources. Over the years, it was his hard work that allowed him to slowly rise to power and arrive at his current position. He did not feel any guilt about his actions. I am heartless and ungrateful, all these were taught by Elizabeth. Sure enough, she had taught all of his dark side, being ungrateful, scheming, and callous. In order to expand his business, he could even kill those closest to him. On the other hand, Connie taught him about kindness and gentleness. You are worth nothing at all, Elizabeth! After hanging up, Elizabeth turned to leave store, the place where Jerome and Hilda was trying on their wedding attires. "Elizabeth.” Herman had been waiting at a corner for a long time. When he saw her, he quickly walked toward her after calling her name. She merely cast a conflicted look at him without saying another word. After knowing that she had been raising Connie's sons for over two decades, she was indeed impulsive.
As Thomas was about to travel abroad, Anthony went to his house to diligently pack for him. In fact, he even offered to be their bellboy and answered every request that Thomas had. Anthony had also saved up enough money the only item he lacked was a 'second hand deal' from others. Unfortunately, he could not seem to locate any volunteer in Taadi who was willing to donate their organs. It was almost entirely impossible to look for a second hand deal' in that aspect. Hence, it was the perfect opportunity that Thomas was getting rid of his member. Anthony could obtain it without breaking the law and it could be immediately used. Once he left, it would take him another one to two months before he could return. If everything was in accordance with his plan, there was a possibility of him making it on time for Hilda and Nathan's wedding. If the procedure did not go smoothly, he would be neither a man nor a woman. Before Thomas left, he took the framed picture of him with Rex and Akosu
In Northern Europe, at the headquarters of the Jordan Family, there was a sinister looking castle located in the countryside. The Jordan Family had lived there for centuries and the scale of what they had developed was rare in the world. A car drove into the ancient castle like an ant that was about to be swallowed up by the castle. In the car, Linux solemnly asked Samuel, "How's everything? How much confidence do you have? If you can lie through this, you and Teresa will be alright." Linux currently had a Taadi accent and he even thought that it sounded quite elegant. Samuel, who was next to him, was the most nervous than he had been. Even his hands trembled. This time around, Linux acted as the middleman to provide a platform for the Grand Elder to speak with Samuel. The Grand Elder still could not accept that his daughter would leave him just like that. Since she had already made up her mind, they decided to lay their fingers on Samuel and force him to leave her instead. Sam
During the weekend, Hilda went to the farm to visit the sheep. She also took the opportunity to shear some wool as raw materials for Luna. Since Jerome had never been to Nathan's farm, he came over with Arlo. The entire family began to shear the sheep wool that belonged to the capitalistic Jordan Family. Seeing the animals in the farm, Hilda suddenly remembered something and asked Arlo, who was shearing wool next to her, "By the way, what happened to the buffalo and the few sheep you stole the other day? Don't tell me that you turned them into a stew?" Hilda still vividly remembered the 'local specialties' she brought home from the reality TV show she attended with Luna, they were stolen by Arlo in the middle of the night using a helicopter. Arlo had his gloves on as he was shearing the wool. When he heard Hilda suddenly bring this up, he was confused. "Buffalo?" He remembered doing some sneaky things but he had never stooped so low to steal anyone's buffalo. Hilda asked, "Luna'
Ever since Thomas's successful transgender surgery, she changed from a strong man to a gentle woman. Rex's thoughts had undergone a complete change to adapt to this situation, and he immediately treated Thomas as a woman. Before this, they each held their own bags when they went shopping, now, Rex was the one holding all the bags. Before this, they would drink cold beverages and eat as much ice cream as they liked, now, they only ordered warm beverages. Apart from putting Akosua's favorite jelly in the fridge, they now put Thomas's favorite desserts and cakes in as well. Rex stopped bringing Thomas along for an all nighter to play games and he also stopped bringing her to street stalls for snacks, because he heard that they were not good for a woman's skin. When he went out with Thomas, apart from holding the bags, Rex also subconsciously put in a makeup mirror, lipstick, and foundation. When it was summer, he even brought along an umbrella and a shawl. Now, he even knew which
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
