On that day, Carmen was rescued by the police. Wearing the cotton padded coat and a set of clothes the police had given to her, she left the police station. When she walked out of there, she was truly all alone in the world. Her family assets had been confiscated, the contract she had with the Stephenson Entertainment had been canceled by the other party, Daniel wanted to divorce her, and her face was bruised and battered under the mask she wore.Standing in the falling snow, she watched the colored TV displayed in the window of an electrical retail store by the side of the street. The TV was showing the press conference held by Daniel. He was well dressed and had a sorrowful expression on his face. He looked so perfect that nobody could find fault with him, and his character setting was so well created that it moved people to tears.At that moment, she realized that she had been deceived all along. He was the one to suggest that she slept with that man. Even so, he immediately threw
The next video was taken at a hospital ward in the intensive care unit of a hospital. Daniel was playing the video of Carmen being stripped naked in public inside the hospital ward. Mr. Adams, who had just woken up, was staring at the video with wide eyes. He was so mad that he couldn't breathe. All of a sudden, he struggled slightly before cursing at Daniel.However, Daniel simply stepped forward and unplugged the oxygen tube. As a result, he struggled for a bit before he stopped moving... He was dead.After that, there was a video of her uncle raping her as well as Diana and Daniel conspiring together to steal the Adams Family's assets. There were several copies of ledgers too, detailing how the Stephenson and Diana's family had quietly transferred out the Adams Family's assets. That was also the reason the Adams Family had collapsed so quickly and so suddenly despite being such a stable and powerful family.After she finished going through the information, she finally lost control
During an emotional moment, they hugged each other and cried. Their love, which was as deep as the sea, was very moving.After that, her uncle appeared too. Expressing his grief about what happened to Mr. Adams, he announced that since Carmen had lost both her parents, he and the rest of the Family would now be her closest family. Upon hearing those words, Carmen burst into tears on the spot. Even the large pair of shades she wore could not conceal her emotions...After the press conference, the public opinion toward Carmen changed. The public praised them for the strength of their feelings and bonds toward each other. However, nobody knew what Daniel and her uncle were feeling inside.Nathan was sitting in the living room and reading a fashion magazine. At the same time, he sneaked glances at the expression on Hilda's face after watching the press conference. It was an extremely pleased expression. She is so happy that it's insane! At the same time, she is so psychotic that it's ador
Nathan observed the happy expression on Hilda's face and felt happy too. Then, he studied the videos of the two press conferences Daniel had held.During the first press conference, he looked sorrowful and resigned. However, the twitching of his brows and the slightly relaxed facial lines betrayed his true emotions. He clearly did not suffer from the slightest bit of grief. Rather, he seemed like he wanted to smile. What a total hypocrite. During the second press conference, he still had the same sorrowful and guilty look on his face.However, his voice was uptight, and the corners of his mouth and eyes were trembling slightly. That indicated that he was on the verge of breaking down. He could explode at any moment but had to hold himself back.Right now, the knowledge that his wife had been unfaithful would loom over him every day, leaving him feeling perpetually disgusted. Even so, he had to be affectionate toward his wife. For a man, that was extremely cruel. Still, he gets what he
Daniel heard the vicious threat but couldn't do anything in retaliation. That woman has gone crazy!On that day, Carmen held a party in the Stephenson Residence just as she said she would. She invited over a dozen dodgy men and women over to the house for a sex party. They sat in the living room, flirting, and even started getting handsy right in front of the Stephenson's.As a result, Mrs. Stephenson was so furious that she fainted on the spot. Hence, Mr. Stephenson and Daniel sent her to the hospital, and their New Year's passed gloomily.As always, the Damien Family was enveloped in despair. The Jordan Family was being very aggressive so much so the Damien Family couldn't stand up against them at all. They were seeking a marriage between the families to promote cooperation between the families, but the other party simply had no interest.At this critical point where the survival of the Damien Family was at stake, the most distinguished lady of the family, Tehilla, had gone missing.
Meanwhile, Samuel also hurried over for after dinner drinks after finishing dinner at the Fleming Residence. With everybody gathered here, the New Year's atmosphere this year was better than in previous years.They lazed about in the living room while chatting leisurely, snacking on sunflower seeds, and playing with the cats."Hmm? Mr. Kyle, don't you need to return to the Michel Residence? Aren't you the head of the family?" Rex asked curiously.As the head of the Michel Family, the most powerful underworld family in Taadi City and the uncrowned king of the underworld, Kyle Michel should have been at the Michel Residence right now.However, Kyle wasn't bothered. "I can't be bothered to go. They can celebrate New Year's on their own."After dinner, the New Year Dinner Gala was about to begin. As usual, Nathan disappeared for a short while, sprucing himself up a little before he left. Then, Kyle hurriedly followed suit. He smartened himself up, hopped into Nathan's car, and they left t
Due to that, the New Year Dinner Gala had invited him to attend in conjunction with such an important age. When Nathan learned about it, he immediately agreed to attend the gala and prepared the old man's favorite opera.Nathan thanked Mark repeatedly after receiving the flowers. In the end, the host wittily took back control of the flow, and Mark returned to his seat after handing the flowers over. When Nathan finished drawing the lots for the lucky draw, he stepped off the stage to remove his makeup.In the meantime, the New Year Dinner Gala continued. The next time the camera panned toward Mark again, everybody noticed that Nathan Clemon, who had removed his makeup and was now dressed in a suit, was sitting to the left of Mark while Kyle Michel and William Cannon were sitting nearby too.Subsequently, the live broadcast camera kept panning over to Mark. Every time it did, it showed that Nathan seemed to be in deep conversation with Mark.Although the old man was in good health, he
Hilda came to the military compound and lived a life like a retiree. Waking up at 6:30 AM every day, she went jogging and exercising with Old Master Cannon. The old man might have been a hundred years old, but his body was still strong and healthy. Moreover, he insisted on working out his body. Hence, he went jogging every day.After jogging with a bunch of old men, she had her breakfast. Then, she carried a bottle of wolfberry water with her while playing chess with Old Master Cannon. Either that or she would accompany the old man out for a walk and practice Tai Chi.On the second day since her arrival, she ran into William when she went out to buy some snacks at night. He was the one person she had been trying to avoid."Hilda, you're here." William, who was wearing a green military coat, appeared out of nowhere from a dark corner. His sudden appearance caused her to jump in fright. Stopping in her tracks, she gripped the big bag of snacks in her hand and smiled awkwardly. "Yeah, I
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
