Hilda called Gasper after she saw that. "Is there a thunderstorm in Taadi tonight?"After hanging up the phone, Hilda continued to unpack her mother's belongings. Apart from the photographs and notebook, and baby cloth, there wasn't really anything notable. Even so, she kept them away orderly. When I'm free, I'll burn all of these.Finally, she saw the notebook.After she put the diary on her study, she looked at the writing on the first page. The fountain pen handwriting was quite nice indeed. It could almost be passed as calligraphy. Subconsciously, Hilda thought that it was written by a man.Curious, she opened the first page and saw two lines of fountain pen writings on the paper that had turned yellow.'Day X, Month X, 199X, Sunny. My first deary entry.At this point, the writing style suddenly changed. The handwritings looked soft and wriggly, as if it was written by someone who had not written for a long time. Apart from that, there were spelling errors. It was completely diffe
My mother had never been a slut who desired to become part of the rich and wealthy!On the next page, Connie wrote, 'I spoke to my father on the phone today. He doesn't allow me to head home because the wage here is exceptionally high. Adrian, what should I do? Can you come to save me?'The handwriting at the end contained her usual crooked style. The twisted handwriting and utterly illogical sentences strongly indicated that she might have written those in a sorrowful and indignant yet helpless state.The truth of that incident years ago was finally revealed. Connie left Adrian because she was threatened by his family.To avoid them, she became a nanny in another residence where she was then raped by her employer!She was helpless and had no one to assist her. Adrian had left her and her employer had even confined her. When she finally had the chance to call home to ask for help, not only did her family refuse to save her from the fire, but they even thought that she had received an
Nathan placed the notebook in front of him. "This is my mother in law's notebook. She had dated Adrian before, but they were forced to break up. I've just checked the hospital records on pumpkin's birth twenty years ago. She was actually born in September, but she has been celebrating her birthday in October. Her date of birth, which is recorded on her household registry and identity card is also in October.""There's a one month gap there, which means that her Family had intentionally registered her date of birth a month later. Therefore, I suspect that pumpkin's mother had been pregnant before she went to the residence. The Family knew that Hilda isn't a part of the Family she had worked at. As a result, they deliberately changed her date of birth to a month later so that they could blackmail the Family!"Johnathan briefly read through the diary and the more he perused it, the gloomier his expression was. When he closed the notebook, he was frightened and a little baffled.That mean
The whole building of Adams Group was burned down as the fire was too large to contain. Luckily, it was a weekend and night, so there weren't many people in the building. Although no one was injured, the Adams Family had suffered a huge loss. The Adams Groups base and the building, which were once as bright as day, were lost overnight. When she finally arrived at the scene, the whole building was only left with its frame and some charred remains.Everything else was gone!The investigation by the fire brigade revealed that as the building's lighting protection system had aged, the thunderstorm last night had caused the lightning to strike the building, which then gave rise to the fire breaking out. As it happened in the middle of the night, there weren't many people in the building, so nobody knew what happened. By the time it was discovered, the whole building was in flames.Carmen stared at the building's empty black frames in disbelief and slumped to the ground.Many things had hap
He deliberately disturbs me when I'm in the middle of studying. Besides, he is doing it so enthusiastically! I can't believe he's actually asking how my studies are going. How else could it be? I didn't even manage to read anything with him knocking against me while making me dizzy!Nathan lightly drew circles on Hilda's shoulders with his tongue while planting feathery kisses across her shoulders. She had a rose tattoo to cover the Hex's mark. The tattoo almost looked like it was blossoming with charm while exuding an alluring fragrance.He whispered by her ear, "Stop studying if you can't concentrate. Why don't we focus on my thing.."After a while, Hilda was barely hanging in there.She was already exhausted from studying and working hard during the day and figured that she could sleep after making love in the study. Never did she expect to fool around with him in the gym room and in the bathroom while wearing a uniform.The next day, Gasper had woken up early to prepare the car wh
"Daniel!" She approached him timidly upon seeing him.He was shocked when he saw her. Feeling guilty within, he had the urge to escape.After the horrible incident at the Adams Group, the Stephenson Group seemed to behave in a manner that suggested that they wanted to call off the marriage.However, if the Stephenson were to do that immediately after the Adams were in trouble, it would definitely tarnish the Stephenson Family's reputation. Nevertheless, Mrs. Stephenson had other plans in mind. She heard that Hilda was married to an extremely wealthy old man, so they planned to have Daniel take over the old man's assets once the latter had kicked the bucket.He would then dump Hilda once he had received the large inheritance.Initially, he was hesitant about the plan. After all, Hilda had been ruthless and decisive in her decisions. However, Mrs. Stephenson reminded him as an experienced woman, "That's because she loves you, which is why she's doing so many things to hurt you! If you g
Hilda went back home after spending a short time at the office.By the time she reached home, Nathan was already home.After planting a kiss on his wife, he left to the basement. Johnathan had run the DNA test between Hilda and Adrian."It's good that you're here. I was just about to go looking for you." Johnathan was carrying a huge stack of documents in his arms as he beckoned Nathan over. He started placing the documents on the table one by one.Johnathan flashed him a mysterious grin before continuing, "I ran a test and the report shows that he is 99.99% your wife's biological father."Everything turned out exactly as Nathan had expected.Nathan took the DNA report and scrutinized it. It was 99.99% sure that Hilda was the descendant of the Sanchez Family.Johnathan found it amusing to know that Hilda was actually one of the Sanchez Family. No wonder he had always had this feeling every time he saw her that she looked more foreign than a local.Nathan just wanted Hilda to know that
In the afternoon, Mr. Adams and Carmen made their way to The Imperial with several bags of gifts. To no one's surprise, they were denied access to the residential area by the security officer."I heard that my daughter has fallen sick and has been resting at home for the past few days. I'm really worried about her. I just need to check on her condition. Please let us in!"The security officer refused them with a stoic expression, "No."Having no other choice, Mr. Adams decided to put down the bags of gifts in front of the security booth."I've brought some gifts for my daughter and my my son in law. Since I can't go in, can you bring the gifts to them?"The security officer glanced at the bags on the floor and relented, "You may leave them here."Mr. Adams put down the bags and stormed off.Afterward, the security officer went through the contents inside the bags and found they consisted of some fruits, health supplements and toy. Thinking that nothing wrong could possibly arise from
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
