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
Upon seeing the situation, she was absolutely determined to defeat Tehilla in the Miss Misty belle contest!After Tehilla shook Nathan's hands, she maintained a cool attitude of a model and later greeted Samuel before calmly speaking, "Mr. Clemon, I heard that you are very skilled in playing the piano. Would you please join me to perform a piano duet?" That was the reason why she joined the competition.Tehilla was a hundred percent sure that Nathan would not refuse her invitation, given her background and irresistible looks, there was no way in the world that he would say no to her.Despite her expectations, he slightly frowned and apologized, "I am very sorry. It's been several years since l have touched a piano. I may have lost my touch with it.""It's alright. I was only hoping that I would have been able to share the same stage with Mr. Clemon, that's all," She responded with a slightly contented look in his eyes.With that said, if Nathan was not an idiot, he would have understo
According to tradition, contestants for the Miss Misty Pageant needed to have a male companion while they walked the runway.Diana's male companion wore a matching traditional outfit like hers, making them look good together.Carmen's runway partner would definitely be Daniel and they were the definition of a golden couple.Hilda's runway partner was supposed to have been Rex, who had already changed into his outfit, but it seemed like she would no longer be able to strode the runway together with him.Everyone gloated at her for her misery and only Shekinah, one of the participants, seemed to be concerned for her as she walked over. "What are you going to do? Would you like me to lend you some clothes?"Shekinah's outfit for the show was valiant as her runway partner was her brother, a national basketball player, and they were catching people's attention.Hilda was in deep thought and replied, "Shekinah, I have already thought of a way to resolve this, but could you please do me a fav
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
