On the day of the ceremony, many people walked in and out of the hotel entrance. Countless representatives from the Jones Family had appeared, they were no less than a thousand people, all of whom were the elites of the elites, while many more did not even earn the right to attend this ceremony. As one of the most powerful families in Taadi City, witnesses were needed for such a huge event. Hence, many people from other families also arrived just to witness the event. After this day, the results were about to be announced to the entire upper class society in Taadi City. Two elders from the Cannon Family, Kyle from the Michel Family, as well as Connie and Jerome had arrived. Such a powerful group had stunned many people indeed. Meanwhile, there were many more people hidden in the dark. It was a day that attracted everyone's attention. As the main character of the event, Winnifred looked indifferent. She watched the representatives of the Jones Family taking their seats as if this
They place all their attention at the family meeting as they predicted that I will stop them. Because of this, they forget to hide their daughter. On top of that, they even moved the bodyguards protecting their daughter to the meeting venue to catch me. This is a Godsent opportunity! Compared to catching Hilda, the Jones Group is nothing! I can still take it back in the future but I only get one chance to catch Hilda! Elizabeth could not wait any longer. Her men could complete this mission themselves but she insisted on being involved personally. She wanted Connie and Jerome to see for themselves how Hilda would suffer because of her! She wanted to strangle Connie's beloved daughter to death so that Connie would suffer for the rest of her life. Elizabeth pulled Hilda's hair so that her face was revealed before her phone camera. She was still unconscious and her figure had gotten more plump because of the pregnancy. Elizabeth could almost see the features she inherited from Co
The group of people who came were fierce and callous, they attacked anyone they met with exactly the working style of those from the underworld. Amidst the chaos, shrill screams could be heard, followed by the sound of bones cracking under the attack from an axe. The sound resembled how a cook prepared the raw meat to cook some soup, it was a terrifying and shocking sound indeed. Elizabeth had never expected that she would suffer from such humiliation. Because of the poisonous mist, she coughed and choked. Tears streamed down her cheeks as she struggled to open her eyes. Since she could see nothing even after doing so, she fumbled around with her eyes closed. In the process, she accidentally touched a flying human thigh, a hand, and even half a skull that was slimy and warm. On top of that, she touched a puddle of unknown liquid. This came as a great shock to her. Finally, after the screams had subsided, the choking mist had cleared off slightly. However, the smell of blood slo
Herman was not a kind person, he had done many evil deeds and he hated Jerome for getting all of Elizabeth's love. He was jealous of Jerome and even detested him. Even so, Herman was not a foolish man. He clearly knew the only obstacle between him and Elizabeth was the woman herself. She was simply too powerful. However, he could easily have Elizabeth to himself now as she lost all her memories after being brainwashed. Hence, he had teamed up with Jerome from the very beginning. Dona was specially arranged to meet him after the discussion with Jerome. Jerome wanted to live happily ever after with Connie but Elizabeth was obstructing them. Meanwhile, Herman only wanted to be with Elizabeth. After a brief conversation, the two groups of people bade farewell. Elizabeth, who was sitting on the wheelchair, said goodbye to Dona unwillingly, "Daddy, I'm off now!" Dona waved back with a cheery smile on his face. "Go on! Enjoy the rest of your life with your husband! Remember, Daddy al
The Michel Corporation was more agreeable than expected. They were willing to give however much dowry the Jones Family demanded, and there was no problem with their children taking after Winnifred's family name. In fact, they would have no problem if Dona wanted to change his family name to 'Jones' as well. As their discussion dragged on, the dowry suddenly became compensation for Dona to marry into' the Jones Family. Dona immediately changed his identity card to remove the irritating 'F' on it. After it was changed to 'M', he immediately registered with Winnifred to become husband and wife. They then viewed a few venues to hold their wedding and also looked at houses and rings. Right after that, they came over to pick their kid up and also wanted Hilda to send them her signature orange cat. With that, Dona's home with Winnifred was finally complete. In the hospital, Dona and Winnifred came over to pick Nigel up, as Lily had sent him over to the hospital to accompany Hilda for t
After the injection, Johnathan pursed his lips with a serious look on his face. He met Nathan when he was very young. They worked together and became a family after that so without a doubt, he did not want to see Nathan die. Unfortunately, Johnathan had already said everything he could but Nathan had already made his decision. He would rather die and break everything off cleanly, allowing Hilda to be heartbroken for some time before she would walk out of the trauma and continue with her new life. After his death, he wanted her to meet another man whom she liked. By just remembering him during his death anniversary and some festive seasons, he would be content. The other option, however, was to let Hilda blindly wait for him. Since no one knew if he was going to wake up, she had to keep waiting. This was equivalent to asking her to grieve for her alive husband for an indefinite amount of time. She's still so young, she's only 30. I can't allow her to grieve at such an age. With
In his own house, Nathan drank with them one last time. Everyone raised their glasses but none felt the past joy when they came over, even though this was Nathan's most generous occasion, he brought out all the best quality wine that he could not bear to drink from the cellar. While holding the glass, Nathan looked at the people around him, they had known each other for almost three decades. There was William who competed with him from a young age, Anthony who changed his entire life, Johnathan who worked with him for many years, both Kyle and Samuel, who had strived hard alongside him, and many others. Looking back at the past, everything is like a dream. It's so surreal. "Everyone, it's my honor to meet all of you in this lifetime. Cheers!" Everyone raised their glasses but a heavy feeling and forced happiness loomed over all of them. He can actually... What a pity! After they finished drinking, everyone left with a depressed feeling. Before they left, they saw Hilda burying
Nathan took a small box that he prepared, it was a present for Hilda, Lily, and Luna. He gave Luna a lipstick. Even though it could not be used after it was dug out, he felt that as a father, he should give his daughter something symbolic. He also gave Lily some knick knacks, but he left a letter for Hilda. He could not bear to leave without explaining everything. He was also worried that Hilda might resent him for not bidding farewell, or that she might lose confidence in all men because of his lie. Hence, he wrote a letter to tell her that he loved her very much. Even when he passed, he was full of her love. Nathan hoped that she would live a happy life when he was not around and he did not want her to waste her precious time on him. He also wanted to tell his children that he loved them a lot. No matter if it was Luna, whom he brought back from Africa and raised, or it was the pair of twins whom he did not get a chance to name, he loved them equally. He did not hate anyone a
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
