Rumors had it that Hilda's husband was extremely wealthy and had already one foot in the grave. Besides, he had only Hilda and no family, so upon his death, she would inherit his wealth.It turned out that she collaborated with Daniel and schemed to kill that old man before equally distributing the assets among themselves!What a clever plot!She initially had walked far ahead, but turned in anger and aimed the loudspeaker at him and Carmen."Let me explain this for the last time sis. My husband is indeed extremely wealthy, but he's not old. In fact, he's only in his 30s. He's also young, strong and handsome. We'll have our kids after some time. It's just your wishful thinking if you're scheming for my husband's property! Besides, my husband is far better than Daniel in all aspects. I must be blind to have made up with a b*stard, who has been through several nasty relationships! Daniel, you should be more concerned about your sexual disease instead."Sexual disease?!Everyone paled in
After she sat in the car, she received an email detailing an event that she had been interested in since the very beginning when she was still in the Adams family. It was a pageant for uprising female entrepreneurs in the business world.It was the Miss Misty Pageant.I'm too shy for this. She thought. Just as she was about to put her phone back into her bag, she decided to look at the names of the females who made it to the finals in curiosity.The Miss Misty contest was held once a year and it was common knowledge that the competition was specially organized for the uprising females. She saw a few familiar names on the list. There was Hannah Trixian, Carmen, Diana and Hilda Adams?!Why is my name on the list? She gasped.Thinking that it was merely another person with exactly the same name, she realized in the end that it was really her because the title and project held matched hers!That is me on the list!Why am I unable to remember that I signed up for the competition at all? No
After Hilda returned home.Nathan had already warned her not to have any interaction with the Damien's. Not only did she meet up with Tehilla, but she even had a little brawl with her over a bag.The moment she opened the door when she arrived home, she saw Nathan watching TV on the couch afraid to step in. With nobody else around, she faced her back to the living room with an anxious yet reddened face before poking her butt in.Since she had done something wrong and deserved to be punished, she should enter with her butt first.Actually, Nathan had already known about the events that transpired for the past couple of days and he was strongly adamant of her not being involved with the Damien's. Like a quagmire, it would be impossible to break free once contact, even a minute one, was made.Today, she had offended the eldest daughter of the family head of the Damien Family, Tehilla.He thought to himself sarcastically, How amazing she is!It was getting harder to suppress the fact that
The venue of the Miss Misty finals seemed to be at the auditorium on the same day too. If what was stated on the poster was accurate. His talk clashed with the contest! She immediately asked Nathan, "Hubby, are you giving a talk at XXXX on the 18th?"Upon hearing that, he replied while typing away on his computer, "Yeah, I am giving a talk on the 18th. I'll also be one of the judges for the Miss Misty contest while I'm there."Sh*t!My husband's going to be a judge?Does this mean that there will be twenty to thirty girls frolicking in front of my husband?At once, Hilda felt sour as if envy started to spread in her heart.Just at that point, he sneakily questioned, "I heard you joined the Miss Misty contest. Do you want me to give you a high score?"As soon as she heard that, she blushed and hastily ran off.This is not good. My idol is judging the contest.I'm going to embarrass myself in front of him! Other than playing the piano, she couldn't think of other skills that she could m
The weekend was soon over with Monday arriving again. The entire Taadi was buzzing with excitement.Not only was the Miss Misty contest finals happening on that day, but Nathan Clemon would also be coming to give a talk too.For years, it was rumored that he would be giving a talk. Some females had waited from their fresh year up until their now for the rumored talk that never occurred.The auditorium quickly became crowded and the backstage was occupied by contestants who prepared to go onstage, making the atmosphere tense and exhilarating. Not only would the champion be the Miss Misty and be on the homepage of the official website for the entire year, but she would also be in the country's promotional video.It would have been an honorable achievement!With the goal of stealing the show on her mind, Hilda arrived backstage early to prepare as well. Since my babe was coming today, she would give it her best shot, no matter what. She wanted him to only have eyes for her. She could not
After the brief interruption, everyone returned to their business. Some were doing their hair and makeup while the others rehearsed.For the Miss Misty contest, Diana performed a classical dance solo while on the other hand, Carmen sang while Daniel played the piano as her accompaniment.To be honest, Daniel's piano skills were outstanding. He would always practice in the piano room every weekend while Hilda secretly learned from him back in junior year. She was more determined in learning the instrument than him and it was during that period of time where she learned to play. Unfortunately, she never had the chance to show her skills.At that moment, the couple had begun their performance. The music sounded affectionate with a trace of blues, perfectly matching Carmen's honey coated voice. Their combination made them a match made in heaven!So much so, those who called them dirty names a few days ago could not help but envy them both as they were such a good pair!The song that Carme
However, Tehilla ignored the crowd's bickering as she sat on the piano bench and started to practice on the piano.At once, elegant piano notes reverberated throughout the whole backstage. Those who heard the notes immediately knew that whoever was playing the piano had a high degree of mastery.In fact, she had learned how to play the musical instrument when she was at a young age and even had her own piano concert when she turned ten. Under the tutelage of a world class piano master, her degree of mastery surpassed the average person by a huge margin.At once, the female pianists who were preparing to perform on stage paled. After all, competing against she in terms of playing the piano was akin to having a death wish.When Hilda saw the crowd surrounding Tehilla, there was a glint of sadness in her eyes.After all, a princess would likely be someone like Tehilla, being showered with love and care at a young age without any worry at the same time. What a nice life to have!At that m
Nathan insisted in front of the president, "I want you to rate my wife's performance with the maximum score possible. If she doesn't achieve first place, I refuse to donate the billion."The president responded, "No problem, I will make sure that your wife receives the maximum marks available!"Nathan turned towards Samuel, stating, "This applies to you too. Give my wife the maximum marks available.""Okay, fine!" Samuel mumbled, rolling his eyes while playing with his cellphone.The Miss Misty contest consisted of three events with each one bearing a maximum score of ten marks. The final score would be a combination of the total score from the panel of ten judges and the online votes.That was the reason why Nathan thought deeply on how to secretly help Hilda to gain more votes.In order to be on the safe side, he commanded the president and Samuel, "Rate everyone else zero marks other than my wife.'That meant if the trio gave the other participants zero marks, it wouldn't come clos
