The Nates Family was heartless back then and she bet that they were cruel to Leah too. Had the Nates Family been kinder to Leah, perhaps Leah wouldn't choose to watch on as if she didn't know who the Nates were. If she was Nathan, she might not be fond of the Nates Family too.Hilda had returned to the office for a few days and it so happened that there was a special event in the Institution. A few important guests were visiting the country and they were hosted by the President personally. After visiting many iconic places in Taadi, their next stop was the institution, the building that assembled the highest projects in Taadi.If a foreign guest came to visit, the leaders of the Institution would personally host him, along with a few outstanding entrepreneurs to accompany the guests for a tour around the Institution and also about their projects. As the winner of Miss Misty, Hilda was naturally one of the entrepreneurs that had to accompany the guests.The leader of the Institution ev
The next morning, Hilda arrived early at the Institution to make preparations. She had even ironed her dress the night before. These foreign guests were held in high regard by the Institution leaders and as soon as Hilda arrived, she was led into the office by the leader for their final training.The entrepreneurs were expected to be in their best state for the reception. As representatives of the Institution, they had to be extraordinary. As such, eight representatives were selected to accompany the guests. All eight had remarkable backgrounds, not to mention they were very talented and skillful. Among them were top one's and also the winners of the Misty Pageant.After the leader's pep talk, everyone waited in the office for the guests who would be arriving shortly. While waiting, Hilda asked in the game group chat, 'What's for dinner?'Stupid Dog replied, 'Barbeque on skewers.''Barbeque." Thomas and Imported Young Man both replied in the group chat.Hilda was thrilled that Linux w
Just from listening, anyone could tell that the piano player was an expert. At that moment, the guests were astonished and asked who was playing the piano. Proudly, the leader introduced the person who was playing the piano. It was none other than Tehilla Damien.As a matter of fact, Tehilla was one of the Institution's top project holders. The foreign guests probably did not pay attention to their local industry gossip, so the leader was not too worried about them knowing the problems Tehilla had caused."Tehilla is one of the best project holders in our Institution. She was taught by the world renowned piano master. At the age of ten, she had a solo piano recital and was already a widely recognized piano player at such a young age."Upon hearing the leader praising Tehilla, even Linux was interested to meet her. All at once, the girls felt bitter.Ha! She's just a traveling tramp who was called out on her lies!However, this was a major occasion so naturally, they could not tear eac
As Tehilla chatted with the foreign guest, she deliberately pulled Hilda closer as she shared the history and the exquisite details of this watch with her. She knew that Hilda was clueless when it came to things like this!"This watch was released twenty years ago. At that time, there were only ten pieces in the world. Due to the exclusiveness, the watches were very valuable but so far, there are only two of them left. Collectors around the world go crazy over it. Look at the exquisite workmanship, Hilda. This was handmade by the famous master."Silently, Hilda watched as Tehilla happily chatted with the guest. When Hilda did not speak, Tehilla pulled her over and insisted she stayed and joined in on their conversation. Of course, Tehilla did not actually want Hilda to join in. In fact, her intentions were just to make sure Hilda felt inferior and clueless, as well as embarrass her front of the foreign guest.Not only did Hilda not want to join in their conversation, she couldn't join
At this point, the atmosphere was extremely tense. Everyone had realized that Tehilla had lied and it was now coming back to bite her. All at once, they gathered around to watch the situation unfold.Meanwhile, the foreign guest was an earnest man who insisted on leaving his name card with Tehilla. In fact, he wanted to visit the Damien Family the very next day to admire the wrist watch, and invite the relevant experts from Europe to verify and prove that there were three pieces of this watch instead of two.Meanwhile, Hilda continued to fan the flames. "Don't worry, sir. Mrs. Clemon can easily get her hands on two of the watches. One belongs to her father while the other belongs to her husband. She would have no problem proving there are three pieces."Smiling, Tehilla accepted the guest's name card. She kept the card into her pocket, the paper already creased from her own vice like grip. As things progressed for the worse, the guest insisted on continuing the conversation with Tehil
In the next room, a pot of wolfberry tea was at the center of the table as three older guys quietly sat and watched the group of drunk teenagers in the next room. The trio were sipping the tea while soaking their feet in hot water.How fun it is to be young again, Nathan thought. Indeed, he did not have the energy to party so hard now. It seemed that he really was getting old.At that moment, Nathan, Samuel and Kyle were watching the surveillance camera, waiting for any useful information they could get from Linux. However, these kids were so drunk that they had forgotten their objective."Old man," Kyle finally put down his glass as he asked Nathan, "Why are we drinking wolfberry tea?"Nathan stayed silent. They couldn't do anything else while they sat here. They couldn't drink, yet they couldn't sit there without consuming anything as well, so they had to order something to drink. Without knowing why, Nathan had ordered wolfberry tea without a second thought.He really was getting o
After drinking a mixture of red and white wine, Hilda became even more drunk. Lying on the couch, she saw Rex tugging at Thomas to do the same.Meanwhile, Linux grabbed a fish from the barbeque tray, squeezed the blood out and served it to them in a bowl.At dawn, Nathan had come into the room, and saw the five youngsters passed out in the room. Hilda was sleeping soundly with a blanket on the corner of the couch. Walking into the room, he gently carried her away.At noon, Hilda finally woke up in a guest room of Bilinsk. She was in a daze before the memories from the night before came flooding back. She had become sworn siblings with Linux! How embarrassing! As she thought about that, Hilda ran out of the room!From that night onward, Hilda did not dare to appear in the game group chat for several days. She was afraid of remembering how she became Linux' god sister that night and she was even more afraid to meet Linux in the chat.That'll be awkward. She disapproved when, Nathan got
The weather was getting cold as Taadi City entered late autumn. At the Imperial, Rex came to the door with a cat carrier. "Hilda, just f*cking look at this. Take a look! Come and take a look!"He thrust the carrier at Hilda's face and inside was a pair of orange kittens nursing from Sunset. They had barely started to grow tufts of fur. Hilda's eyes darted around and she mumbled, "What does this have to do with me? There are so many orange cats in the military compound...""I don't care. You have to take responsibility! You have to compensate me with at least two bottles of wine!"Rex and Thomas came in while carrying the cat carrier together. As soon as he entered the door, he went to look for the wine. Meanwhile, Hilda took Sunset out and placed her on her lap as she watched the kittens. The kittens of Ragdoll and the domestic orange cat are really cute..Meanwhile, Thomas went to the study to find Nathan. "Commander, has there been any progress in looking for Hex?"Nathan shook his
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
