The door was then opened with a bang as Nathan returned.She had been quietly sitting on the bed while crying and lifted her head to see him rushing towards her. He sat on the side of the bed and placed a small box on it before opening the box, which contained some medicine to reduce inflammatory and swelling.Without uttering a word, he applied the medicine on Hilda's body. It turned out that he merely went outside to grab some medicine.She probably did not notice it herself, but when the lights were switched on, Nathan was almost scared to death when he saw her injury. In addition to the bleeding tattoo on her body, there were also a few terrifying claw marks on her neck.He didn't know how powerful Hex's pinch was to have caused those bruises and scratches on her neck. He had no doubt that if Hex had added more strength, her neck could have easily been broken.He also chose not to ask her why she didn't tell him the truth, why she didn't escape or why she never yelled for help.He
At that moment, the Trixian Family's proud son, John, was no longer around. He was only a fallen hero in their eyes. The national flag covered his body, which was buried in their Memorial Garden. They honored him by giving him the highest of respect of a fallen hero's funeral.It was late at night yet Johnathan was still searching for evidence in the surveillance videos. Nathan had already given him the clothes that Hilda wore. Luckily, she didn't get the chance to wash them, so he would still be able to look for clues on the attire. He searched for further clues on her apparel, trying to find Hex's fingerprints.Whenever he felt tired, he would take out his wallet and have a look at two photos inside.One of them was the picture Nathan took with them in the army. And the other was his comrades and him partying after their first ever mission. That night, they had promised to have each others back. That was the only motivation keeping him alive.Johnathan put down the photo and sipped
Hex had wanted to assault Hilda for pleasure, but he might have removed his gloves to touch her skin for a more intimate experience. If he had touched her, there is a possibility that he might have left fingerprints.Therefore, he took her set of underwear away to run a scan.Upon seeing a bunch of people studying the underwear that she wore, she could almost feel her heart collapse.Since she had nothing to do at home, she frequently went down to check on Johnathan's progress.Three days after the incident, he gave her the good news. They had found Hex's fingerprints!At that time, Hilda was terrified, so she returned home to have a bath. They definitely were unable to locate any fingerprints on her body after she washed herself, but the clothes were not washed yet.Usually, it was hard to leave fingerprints on clothing, but coincidentally, that day, she was so scared that she started to sweat and cry. She had probably applied some foundation or makeup on her face, so when Hex used h
When the topic of military training was mentioned, they had endless topics to chat about."In the past few years, my comrades back then constantly mentioned you. Sadly, when the military training was over, we just couldn't contact you. You moved."Hilda nodded her head as if in agreement."Commander, do you still remember Sam? Sam is now actually the Samuel Fleming, right?"The moment Anthony mentioned Samuel's name, he actually showed up in front of them. When Samuel heard that Johnathan had made a breakthrough, he hurried over to check on it, but never expected to run into Anthony.The three of them sat down together to chat more."Sam, it really is you!""Oh, you are that sissy in the company next to mine! Ten years has already passed and you still look like a sissy!""Don't mention the past!"Hilda enjoyed their conversation as she listened from the sidelines.The three of them had a joyful conversation and Nathan even asked Anthony to stay for dinner. After dinner, Anthony spoke
"Pumpkin, try your best to tell us everything that Hex has said and done to you"Hilda instinctively tightened her grip on Nathan's hand as she felt scared, but she still managed to tell everything that she had experienced earlier in the day to them. "This afternoon, at about 4PM, I had to meet the workers on site for the evening round up of this week's project. Rex had asked me to speak to you after you had someone beat him but I didn't agree and he blocked my path. So I cancelled on the workers and went back to the office. Afterward, I went into the women's toilet in the same building as I was heading home and not the one in my office. Then, he approached me."After listening to her, Johnathan felt a little suspicious as he lifted his head. "Are you sure you met him in the office?"She nodded.He then furrowed his brows and analyzed the situation. "During the past few years, Hex has committed numerous terrorist attacks on a global scale that shocked the world. His locations are nor
After dinner, Hilda stayed in the room to play with her phone. Suddenly, she received a surprising call."Hilda, why haven't you been going to work recently? The rumors say that the Adams family is bothering you. How are you? Do you need my help?"She was now busy scrolling through her messenger app and didn't expect Daniel to call her. She didn't stop scrolling, even though her fingers were fractured, it still didn't prevent her. She kept doing what she was doing with her thump up as she quickly responded to him impatiently. "Make it quick!"Daniel paused for a while before asking her concerningly. "Hilda are you having issues with work?"She didn't know where he got that information from. "I am just taking a sick leave at home."He replied to her. "Hilda, you can stop pretending to be strong. I know that the Adams family has been bothering you. Why don't I help you persuade Mr. Adams? We are all family after all."Hilda answered. "Hmm."God damn it! I can't believe that Rex sold me
I wasn't aware of the existence of these pictures. I can't believe Nathan saved them all, and it seems like these pictures are important to him.Nathan's fingertips traced across these photographs lightly while lingering on Hilda's petite face. "I prefer printed photographs because they are easy to store, and I can look at them whenever I want." He explained.It had gotten late at night. Nathan waited until Hilda fell asleep before retrieving the photograph he hid just now to place it in its original position.That photo was taken after he left the military to start his career in investing and entrepreneurship. When he joined the Clemon Group and took control.Nathan was not short of money at all.As long as I have money, I'll be able to have my own mercenary group abroad. I'll be able to track down Hex anywhere in the world, and I'll be able to protect myself and my loved ones too.Nathan kept the picture into the photo album while flipping through the album again. He lingered at Hil
The security guard at the entrance was extremely experienced. After all, they retired from special forces, and they took direct instructions from Nathan.Since Madam asked them to get lost, we will not allow him to set foot into the compound. With a loud whoosh, eight burly security guards came charging out of the tiny guard booth and blocked the entrance automatically. Scared witless by the sudden change of events, Mr. Adams took a step backward.The leader of the security guard still held a taser. "Mr. Adams, this is not a place for you to behave atrociously. My advice for you is to return home."Mr. Adams was clearly fuming, but he had abandoned his business, worth tens of thousands, to come here. Therefore, he just couldn't return home empty handed.Mr. Adams left temporarily to return home.Coincidentally, he had recently bought a house from the Stephenson's Family's copycat real estate area. He had just shifted into the house for a few days, and he was neighbors with the Stephen
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
