"..Well, I don't know about that." Nathan answered.That question was really too deep, and he couldn't answer it.Hilda started muttering to herself, "So if a star who has undergone malarplasty, rhinoplasty, and had some work done on his forehead went to have his fortune read, would it still be accurate? I personally don't think so.""Technology is pretty advanced these days, so it's easy to change your looks and body structure. All those ways to tell your future through reading your palms or bone structure are all lies! Lies, I say!"Hilda continued to mutter for a while before finally falling asleep.Nathan laid her head on his chest and occasionally stroked her hair gently, the sadness and guilt in his eyes gradually piling up. Feeling her gentle breaths on his chest, he gave her a deep kiss. He then looked at her face and studied her brows and lips, not willing to miss any details.Let me take care of everything for you in this life!On the next day, Hilda wanted to leave after t
There were only two monks in the temple, which was in bad shape. Even the statue of the Buddha was old and dirty.Nathan burnt some incense for Buddha, praying sincerely. Hilda was carrying a bag of money, and she donated some after saying a short prayer. Even after she finished donating all of her money, she wanted to donate more, which could be done by scanning a QR code.It was quite advanced despite the fact that they were in the middle of nowhere.However, after scanning the QR code, she couldn't donate any money because she couldn't connect to the internet with the poor signal in the mountain."Hm, I don't have any more cash and there is no signal. I guess that's it." Hilda said."Miss, the Wi-Fi password is on the wall." The monk said quickly.Hilda was rendered speechless. After connecting to the Wi-Fi, Hilda found that the signal there was extremely strong. She hurriedly scanned all the QR codes to donate some money so that this trip wouldn't be a waste.After everyone had d
Nathan remained for a little while longer as he had promised the monk to use the donation to repair the roads leading to the mountain. After the new year, Nathan would arrange for a bridge to the mountain to be built, trying to improve the condition of the temple, however little his efforts would be.After they arrived at the base of Dragon Mountain, Nathan then dragged Hilda to the other mountains to pray at the temple as well as donate clothes and stationeries to children in the poor, mountainous areas.Throughout their journey, they were on the lookout for schools that did not have enough money and did good deeds to earn merits. After all, Hilda lacked everything but money and a husband.After making the round, she felt much happier and her guilt had been diminished by a lot. Hence, she returned to Taadi City in happiness. However, Nathan was unhappy as Lily landed herself into trouble, so he had to quickly replace her. At the current moment, the partner's wife was throwing tantrum
After waiting for what seemed like an eternity, Mr. Akuffo's face darkened when the guards still refused to allow him in. His group of family members behind him started to give snide remarks.One of the women in heavy makeup led the conversation. "Oh dear, why aren't they opening the gates? Is it because Sonnia is doing something unspeakable?"The group of women started to gossip among themselves. "How shameless! She has even locked her own father outside the gates!""What's wrong with Sonnia? How can she be associated with those from the underworld?""She's a good child, but the older she becomes, the more useless she is. She's a disgrace to the Akuffo Family!""The underworld is merely a bunch of gangsters who collect protection fees, especially when anyone can call themselves a member.""I heard that she suddenly took a few million from the family a while ago, supposedly to start her own business.""Hmmph, I wonder what business she's doing!""I bet she's using the money to fool ar
Upon arriving inside the Imperial, everyone behaved as if they were in a museum.Wow, this is indeed the best residential area in Taadi City! It's exceptionally luxurious!As soon as everyone entered, they seemed to reduce the speed of their footsteps. The ladies who were furiously gossiping earlier forgot their primary intention upon seeing such a luxurious area."Wow! That's Nathan's Villa! I heard that Nathan Clemon lives there!""Quickly take a picture for me!""One, two, three. Say cheese."In front of the entrance of Nathan's Villa, the group of middle aged women quickly removed their scarves and posed for selfies with various poses, looking like a bunch of monkeys in a circus.After waiting for them to finish taking pictures, Jessica quickly reminded "I saw the Villa Sonnia is at!"The moment she pointed to the building, Mr. Akuffo rushed over in anger with a stick in his hand followed by the group of middle aged women.Shortly after they took a few steps, Jessica said hastily,
Even though she was anxious, she could not find someone who was suitable for her. So, to her, Kyle was the best choice, considering that he was handsome, wealthy, and famous. After all, not anyone could afford to live in the Imperial. Both sisters soon arrived at a consensus, they would not let Sonnia live peacefully with a boyfriend like him.After quickly thinking about it, Jessica smiled. "Sonnia, you must be busy with your gaming company as well as your business. Back then, you were only a few marks away from being able to start up your business. Your father has used many of his connections to get you to. It's not as easy as you think! No matter how busy you are with your business, don't forget about your family."Even though Mr. Akuffo did not feel comfortable listening to what was being said, sooner or later, Kyle would have to know about it. He used the back door ways to get her to start her cat business.Sure enough, as soon as the topic was touched upon, Sonnia's expression
It was after Victoria's reminder that everyone from Akuffo Family suddenly remembered Hilda fast, so they attentively looked at her. Only a fool wouldn't want to see this!With a dark look on his face, Nathan was about to berate her when he heard Hilda replying with a nonchalant expression on her face. "What? My uncle... I've already sent him abroad."Glancing at Victoria with a cold expression, she clearly enunciated everything. "They are living a great life there now, doing an unprofitable business while serving the upper class society... in a state of misery. Why, do you want to visit them?"Of course Victoria was the only one who heard the few sentences at the end. She was so shocked that her entire body jumped as it broke out in cold sweat.However, Hilda never planned to let them off the hook. After quenching her thirst with a cup of tea, she looked at her red nails while saying, "In Taadi, I heard that we have a pair of famous sisters from the Jones Family. The elder sister bec
Nathan never maintained a good relationship with Elizabeth, who was the head of the Jordan Family. Not to mention, Winnifred had dumped Nathan a few years ago. Later, when Elizabeth wanted to buy a Villa from him, she was rejected, causing them to have a tense relationship.What is she implying by sending the invitation to us?Elizabeth was also one of the suspects to have sponsored Hex. Hence Nathan felt that he needed to attend the event.After chatting with the Akuffo Family, Kyle saw them off after the scrumptious meal.Before they left, he even gave a salamander to Mr. Akuffo, making him delighted.Kyle changed clothes and threw all the cup noodles away after the Akuffo Family left. He finally realized that he could not live a life like that any more. After all, he also wanted to settle down and have kids. I can't go on like this anymore! I have to learn to live like Nathan.When Nathan went home, Kyle sent his visitors away and replaced all the antique vases with the pink rug,
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
