There were a lot of cats and dogs in the neighborhood. Hilda had six cats, Linux had four stray cats, and the other households also had cats. Hanging meat outside the house was risky. There were always several big orange cats sitting at the bottom of the shelf where the meat was hung, especially where the dried fish were. It would all disappear in an instant after being hung up.Someone always had to keep watch outside the Villa to chase the animals away. Meanwhile, Linux had already designed an intelligent system for the meat. He created an environment where there was constant temperature, adjustable wind direction, and humidity.Moreover, he even made two intelligent robots that used infrasound to chase away the animals that were stealing the food. The dried fish he left outside his house was still in perfect condition after several days.Indeed, science and technology were revolutionary.Whenever Nathan passed by his Villa and saw their automated set up, he wanted to yell, "He's br
All of a sudden, the robot said, "Dad, Mom is home."Nathan instructed, "Turn off the news." The channel switched back to the cartoons from before.When Hilda came back with different bags of things, she saw Nathan and the robot sitting together on the sofa watching cartoons. She put down what she was carrying and called, "Caleb!""Mom."Nathan watched the robot rush off happily and even gladly helped Hilda bring the things inside. That is one clever robot.Nathan had goosebumps all over. He remembered the time when Diana placed a toy to spy on them in their house. The robot in front of him now was way more intelligent than that toy back then. If Linux implanted something inside this robot...But, this robot is very intelligent. It knows how to cheer Hilda up everyday. I can't bear to throw it away. How frustrating!Every time Hilda came back from Linux place, she would come home with all those bags as though she had inappropriately acquired them. For example, the window panes of the
Linux replied, "Got it."Even though Hilda was smiling, he knew that she was feeling very nervous and scared on the inside. Still, she put up a strong front to face what she had to.When he put Caleb in the Clemon Residence, he did not do it to spy on them. He only wanted to know how she was doing. His heart broke for the misfortune that she had encountered. Thus, he was trying to make her happy in his own way. He did not know why he was so concerned over a stranger, either, but he felt a need to watch over her.Just then, the robot had automatically analyzed the data that Caleb sent over. "They are at the entrance of the Institution. Miss Adams' pressure index has gone up again. Mr. Linux, do you need to go there?""Release the anti depressant fragrance."Under Linux' orders, Caleb began silently releasing a calming fragrance while he was talking to Hilda.When they arrived at the entrance of the Institution, Hilda felt extremely nervous as she looked at the crowded office building.
At that moment, the atmosphere in the room changed. This whole time, whenever they saw Hilda, they had tried to avoid talking about the news of the harassment she suffered as a child.Meanwhile, Hilda did not say anything and simply lowered her eyes. Her expression did not look good and her rosy cheeks had turned deathly pale.Carmen happily added fuel to the fire as she walked over in an overbearing manner. "You've brought shame to our family. You better return that 5% you're holding in your name now back to me at once! You're a disgrace even to the ancestors of the Adams Family!"When Hilda did not answer her, she warned in a harsher tone, "Don't come to work anymore after an incident like that. It's humiliating!"Hilda's colleagues started to get worked up. Someone immediately criticized, "What kind of sister are you?"Carmen glared at that person and retorted, "This is a family matter. It has nothing to do with you!"That person had more to say but a hand suddenly reached out to s
Once the conference was over, it was the start of winter so she headed home to enjoy her holidays. That day, Nathan had prepared a feast for her at home. Rex also brought Thomas along to join in.When Nathan came out of the study, he found the three of them, Hilda, Rex, and Thomas playing a game in the living room. He watched them for a bit and took a look at their group in the game. They were a group of four with one unknown player called 'Baby Hero'Even though the name sounded unfamiliar, he was a skilled player. He easily beat Rex and the rest. Even when the three of them teamed up, they were still unable to beat him. Useless.Nathan could not contain his curiosity. "Where does this Baby Hero come from? Why haven't we seen him before?"Before Hilda could answer, a child chirped from the corner, "Dad, it's me, Caleb! I can play games now too!"Nathan walked up to take a closer look and noticed that his robotic arm was connected to the USB port of the computer. In the game, Baby Her
A chuckle came from behind. "What brings you here today, Mr. Stephenson?" Upon hearing that voice, Daniel reacted as if his soul had jumped out of his body, and his body shuddered slightly too. Then, he turned his head stiffly and saw a face that he hated to his bones. "Hilda, why are you here?"Hilda was wearing a thin sweater. Walking over slowly, she hugged her arms and sighed softly. "Sigh. It looks like your news is a little outdated, Mr. Stephenson. This place is now my Residence, and I am its owner."He recalled seeing the words 'Adams Residence' written on the entrance. Nonetheless, he had not dared to associate those two words with Hilda.He had fantasized about the owner's new identity, perhaps they were a politician, an underworld overlord, or a business mogul.However, not even in his wildest dreams had he imagined that it would turn out to be Hilda! In that instant, all the clues in his head jumbled together like a tangled mess of string. Even so, he quickly found the ans
All of a sudden, a thick and solid hand fell on Daniel's shoulder whilst he was still frozen in shock. That palm landed on his shoulder heavily, shocking him out of his daze. Then, Nathan's icy voice sounded by his ear. "Mr. Stephenson, I hope you keep what you saw today to yourself. After all, the fact that your ex girlfriend got herself a husband leagues better than you is an extremely embarrassing thing for you as a man..."Daniel was no match for him. Moreover, he was the largest shareholder of Bilinsk International and the CEO of Clemon Group. Therefore, the only aspect Daniel could confidently win against him was his age.For a while, Daniel's mind went blank again. He didn't even know how he left the Adams' mansion. By the time he came back to his senses again, he had been unceremoniously thrown out of the house.Sitting in the snow outside the door, he looked back and saw a small robot wearing a tiger hat closing the door. The robot even fiercely said to him, "Don't come back
Soon, the play started and the music played. A group of female warriors came on stage and began showing their moves.Just a few actions at the beginning of the play were enough to elicit loud applause from everybody. "Bravo!"Soon, the main character appeared on the stage. It was another female warrior with a strong posture and excellent professionalism. One glance was enough to tell that she was no ordinary person. Her actions were so tricky that it was amazing. Even Hilda, who had not much interest in opera, couldn't help being sucked in by the superb choreography.Thus, she directed her full concentration to the show. Although nobody knew where Nathan had hired these actors, they were extremely professional, and everybody in the audience was very satisfied with the performance. Applause rained down for these actors, and everybody forgot about the fact that Nathan still had yet to make his appearance.Hilda was in a great mood as she watched the show while she ate some snacks and pl
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
