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
Briana's fury was thrown back in her face with those words. Her shoddy acting could fool nobody except herself. She was simply a prey. Hunters were only concerned about where she would end up, not how she had been caught. In the hunting game back then, she was the prize Nathan and William had been fighting for.What they cared about the most was her final destination. It didn't matter why she chose who she did. Still, that did not mean that Nathan was a fool or that he had not noticed the clues. However, everybody else was playing dumb. If he pretended to be smart all by himself, then wouldn't he have become the real fool?William took the snacks and left. Watching as he threw her aside callously to go on another hunt, her heart pounded with hatred. At the same time, she felt relieved.She had long lost all hope and illusions about him. Thus, separation was the best choice. I'm going to snatch Nathan back!But, I can't just return like that. I need to find a suitable opportunity! I ca
In particular, when she saw how Briana and Mr. Clemon were chatting away gaily.. That spot is mine. It belongs to me, but now Briana has snatched it away. With those thoughts in mind, the darkness in her heart expanded infinitely. Jealousy was giving rise to the darkness in her heart.Meanwhile, Briana was playing chess but she would occasionally glance over at Hilda, who was warming herself by the fire. With every glance she took, her confidence grew larger. It looks like Nathan married her simply because she's young.Men will always like girls between the ages of eighteen to nineteen because that is usually the age at which they meet the love of their lives. Anyone who came after her were mere resemblances of her. The person Nathan loved when he was eighteen was her, Briana McKinney. And I, Hilda, I am no more than a vessel for him to reminisce about the happiness he had with her all those years ago.Old Master Clemon and Briana were currently playing chess together. Just then, Rex
At that moment, Briana had a realization. She had been too careless.In the second round, she focused all her attention on the game and made every move with caution, planning ten steps with every move. Her brows were furrowed together tightly. But Hilda, who was sitting across from her, was very relaxed."Briana, I see you've realized that you need to take this more seriously now and not be as careless as last time."Briana was confident this time. She had placed all her attention and focus in the game. I can't let Hilda win no matter what! Nonetheless, she could not make it too obvious nor be too cruel with her tactics. Old Master Clemon adored Hilda. If I lead Hilda to a miserable defeat, it might make him unhappy.Just then, Hilda cried, "Checkmate again!"Hilda's presumptuous smile broke Briana's train of thought. Briana realized that she had only made a few moves when she somehow fell into Hilda's trap and was completely defeated. In a blink of an eye, she had lost after just ten
Tsk, tsk. She is truly a daughter of the Jordan's. It's an inherited darkness. Her gloominess was extreme, but at the same time, it was adorable.Rex finished recounting the incident to Nathan and lamented, "Commander, does Hilda have a grudge against me now?"Nathan snorted and said, "Seeing as how she didn't use Super Glue to seal your mouth, she still sees you as her beloved stupid dog. Relax."That put Rex in even more despair. "What should I do, Commander?""You have to be warier when you come to eat at my place in the future. She might put poison in the dishes and alcohol."Rex was bewildered. He only came back to his senses after a long while and realized, He's practically telling me not to eat at their place anymore!After Nathan satisfied himself by scaring Rex out of his wits, he hung up the phone. Looking at the time, he saw that she was going to be home soon and quickly left the office to greet the victor of that silent battle. Back at home, he prepared a festive dinner to
