Going cold all over, everyone silently wiped their cold sweat away as the tense atmosphere made their hair stand on end. However, they were reluctant to leave, so they watched the drama before them with great interest, and their eyes were focused especially on Nathan, whom Briana had called out.Nathan was terror stricken, for he knew that Hilda would resent him for whatever he said right now. He'd rather play dead all night, but he didn't expect Briana to drag him into the conversation.He had indeed seen Briana backstage that day, but it was her who came backstage with William to meet him. He swore that he never had any private contact with Briana. All he did was say a few greetings to her in front of William and ask her to take a photo of him and William using his cell phone!At this moment, he could only brace himself to speak. "It's been so many years since then. I have put everything out of my mind."Soon after he began his sentence, Hilda suddenly got up. When everyone thought
Wasn't this a battle between Hilda and Briana? Why did Nathan become the one who's exchanging words with Briana instead?Briana tried as hard as she could to evoke Nathan memories of the past, but all he wanted was to unobtrusively heap praise on his pretty young wife.In his own words, she was adorable every time she smiled and in one of her mood swings, and even when she yawned, he loved her so much that even her fart smelled pleasant to him..Only then did everyone realize that Hilda was the true master. Since Nathan was the reason behind her catfight with Briana, she simply decided to let Nathan come forward and confront Briana!If Nathan sided with Briana from the beginning, she would stand no chance to continue the catfight anyway. In that case, she had better save some energy and find a divorce attorney to claim a larger share of his wealth.Just as one couldn't stop leaves from falling off trees, a man who wanted to leave his spouse could never be made to stay.If Nathan sided
Now, everyone knew that his wife's naked body had been seen by other people. Moreover, she would be performing in an R rated film. The released cast posters of the film showed her being almost nude.He took a mouthful of wine in bitterness as his wife's promiscuity made him restless and uneasy. When he put down his wine glass and looked up, he saw Hilda standing dazzlingly among the crowd like a goddess.The high tech home renovation inside Linux' house was nothing short of amazing. What particularly evoked words of amazement were the glass windows that could be remotely connected to the entire world, and the 3D holographic projection that looked so lifelike to the point of making one's skin crawl. Gasps of admiration could be heard among the crowd every time the fairies flew out of their palace.At this moment, another special effect flashed across the screen. The face of the devastatingly beautiful fairy that flashed across the screen looked strikingly similar to Hilda.She and Carm
A trace of disgust flickered in the depths of Daniel's eyes as he looked at Diana's flirtatious expression. As expected, women are all b*tches!Thinking that they weren't discovered, the two then hatched up what they thought was a flawless scheme. However, they forgot that they were now on Linux' turf.Linux chatted with the guests while listening to the conversation in the restroom via his Bluetooth earpiece.The corners of his lips curved up into a charming smile which, coupled with his blonde hair and blue eyes that constituted his handsome looks and made him look as warm as the scorching sun, often drawing sideways glances from the female guests.It could be said that the unmarried socialites of Taadi City were scrambling for him, for he was surrounded by many female guests just a short while after he showed up.However, Linux looked at Hilda from time to time. Looking beautiful and self confident, she stood among the crowd like a fairy.Seeming to have sensed Linux' gaze, she tur
Pleasantly surprised, the ladies immediately dragged Anthony over and surrounded him."Mr. Clark, didn't you say that you couldn't attend the banquet because you were ill and bedridden?""Mr. Clark, let's take a picture together!"Being handsome was indeed a privilege, for everyone caught Anthony and took selfies with him right after he showed up. After they finished taking pictures together, everyone surrounded him and spoke enthusiastically to him."I didn't want to come at first, but Linux invited me after all. Moreover, l will go overseas in a few days, so I must come to have a look at everybody."Anthony's voice was especially attractive and pleasant to the ear, so everyone couldn't help feeling regret for his departure upon hearing his reply."When will you come back, Mr. Clark? Where can we find you in the future?"Anthony took a sip of the red liquid in his wine glass before answering, "I don't know that as well. I think I may volunteer to work in rural areas after traveling a
Hilda glared at Nathan, who was panic stricken since he was at a loss for what to do. Luckily, he had experienced situations that were more intimidating than this one.After calming down, he hit on an idea in desperation and shot Kyle a glance.Kyle raised his brow in confusion....Nathan shot him another glance before shifting his gaze to the cell phone that he had placed on the glass coffee table in front of him.Kyle narrowed his eyes and nodded. Then, he quietly took back his cell phone and dialed Nathan's phone number.Two seconds later, Nathan's cell phone rang. Seizing the opportunity, he stood up with a broad smile. "I'm going to answer a phone call. Have fun playing the game, everyone."After that, he picked up his cell phone and fled.A trace of resentment flashed across the depths of Briana's eyes as she watched Nathan disappearing from her sight.The game couldn't be played anymore!Rex, who had proposed playing the game, was at a loss for how to wind things up. Just then,
The slap was loud and clear. Luckily, nobody noticed it since everyone was clapping.The little hand was totally furious, for the fine hair on its back seemed to stand on end. It kept running away to prevent the large hand from getting close to it. However, not only was the large hand determined to get close to it, it also wanted to embrace it and cling to it.After a few struggles, the reddened large hand finally caught the reluctant and sulky little hand. It clasped the little hand with all its might to prevent it from running away.Hilda finally quieted down as well.Refusing to let Nathan go, she grabbed his hand as hard as she could.Briana was still looking everywhere, as if searching for the colleague in the song and dance troupe who had written a song for her ten years ago. Everyone also frequently glanced at Nathan as they guessed that he was likely the colleague Briana was referring to.Regrettably, Nathan didn't move at all, and he even whispered in Hilda's ear from time to
There was a dance after the banquet. The key part of local Taadi banquets was the food, but the dance was the focus of Western banquets. Since this day's banquet was a fusion of local and Western styles, both the food and the dance were the main parts of the banquet.Being sulky the whole time, Hilda refused to speak to Nathan during dinner, but she still ate the food he placed on her plate. They ate just a little for dinner since there would be a dance afterward.There was a larger ballroom next door that was prepared specially for the banquet. The dance floor there was magnificently decorated. The stage decor there was more splendid than that of this room, and the stereo system there was nice too."Let's go and dance together." Nathan tugged at Hilda as she was reapplying her lipstick.Hilda was still angry right now. She said coldly, "I'm not going. Go and dance yourself if you want to."Nathan watched her reapplying her lipstick with a straight face. "In that case, I'll dance with
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
