Nathan felt extremely suspicious as he realized how different Hilda was behaving after speaking to the old monk. She seemed to be keeping something to herself, so much so that the smile on her face looked contrived. He waited for an opportunity where Hilda was not within ear's reach to ask the old monk what happened. The old monk simply answered ambiguously, "Let nature take its course." The monk had this aura of all knowing wisdom around him, Nathan could tell that there was something he told Hilda then that must have caused her to act so reservedly. A few more days after they returned from the mountains would be the annual gathering of the Jones Family. Nathan had only these few days to lose the weight he gained. He was determined not to cause any embarrassment to Hilda. The moment his sexy dance hit the Internet, it had caused a huge stir among the public. Everyone was commenting about how the renowned business man Nathan Clemon, had gained weight, lost his charm, faded out, a
It was a grand day for Garfield. Everything it donned at the party was nothing less than extravagant. Its collar was given by Linux, while its clothes were custom ordered from overseas by Nathan. Armed to its teeth best described its choice of apparel that turned many heads that day. Hilda used to not pay that much attention to dressing up her pets. She thought that keeping them well fed would suffice. However, to fit in with the ladies from the social elite circle, she too felt the pressure to invest in her pet's wardrobe. Jessica was not impressed when Hilda ignored her. She's nothing but a nouveau riche! Look at these upstarts, even their cats behave like them.. Jessica glanced at Garfield's clothing and felt a pang of bitterness in her. Bah! Daughter of an upstart, nouveau riche, social climber, who married a middle aged, out of shape, has been business man, acting like she's all that! Her pudgy husband still dares to frequent the clubs every night. God knows how many women h
Upon returning home from the veterinary, Hilda took a look at Nuella's cat bag. An unfamiliar Persian cat stuck its little head out. The cat bag belonged to Garfield, but the collar and the cat did not match. Nuella knew how much this cat meant to Hilda, so the former was exasperated. "I personally made sure all seven cat bags were packed before coming home. But I was careless, and someone swapped Garfield away when I wasn't looking." Hilda brought all her cats to the pet shop today. She brought four ginger cats, Garfield, Sunset, and her two kittens, which was eight cats in total. Simba was at the veterinary, so seven cat bags were brought home. Hilda gazed at the stranger Persian cat and felt she had seen it somewhere. Upon further study, she confirmed it belonged to Jessica, she remembered it clearly because of the black mark on its bottom. Nuella bit her lower lip. "I'm not sure if I should bring this up to Ms. Sonnia." Hilda was close with Sonnia. Given the incident that hap
Jessica's expression turned colder. For my birthday, everyone in the Akuffo Family must be here, including Isaac and his eldest son. However, only Sonnia, that b*tch, refused to come. The reason Jessica went to Sonnia's store today was to tell her personally to bring Kyle along to her birthday party. But that b*tch actually rolled her eyes at me! Diana knew that Jessica didn't have enough power to ask Kyle to join the party, so she deliberately brought up the topic. Both of them were competing with each other with all their might, but to outsiders, they seemed like close friends. Victoria, on the other hand, glanced at the Damien Family from time to time. The Damien Family is the real aristocrat! If only I could marry someone from the Damien family! Even though the scale of the party wasn't too big as only the Akuffo and Jones Family members were invited to have a simple dinner, it was the birthday of Mr. Akuffo's wife after all, so it would only be appropriate for someone fro
How would I be able to even lift my head in front of the Akuffo and the other Families present here in the future? Gritting his teeth, Mr. Akuffo growled, "If you can't find your cat here, you must take responsibility for this and apologize to Jessica!" Hilda met his gaze unflinchingly. "If my cat isn't found, I will kneel before her, if it's found here, she'll have to kneel before me. If my cat is fine, add a kowtow to me, and I'll let things slide. If my cat is injured, I will kill her." "Outrageous!" Mr. Akuffo was so angry that he snorted before bursting out laughing. What an insolent brat! Seeing that both of them were about to start a fight because of a cat, the rest of the Akuffo Family members watched from afar. "My, my, rich people are really enjoying their lives. I can't believe that they can get into such a huge quarrel for a cat." "But it seems like it's real. Someone saw Jessica secretly stealing the cat away when they weren't paying attention." Hearing the murm
The Jordan Family was famous worldwide, who's wealth could be compared to a country. Hence, it was highly probable that their vice president would receive a cat from the Queen. However, everyone else didn't understand how Hilda got that as a present. Gritting her teeth, Jessica murmured, "What's that about the Queen? This cat is my Wendy..." Courage bubbled up within Sonnia out of nowhere, perhaps she had learned a few tricks from Hilda after spending more time with her. "Do you want to compare it with some pictures? The father of Hilda's cat is the Duke's cat, while the mother is the Queen's cat. It looks like its parents. The fur around Wendy's buttocks were roasted a few days ago by the stove. Because of this, you slapped your assistant, everyone knows about this. Do you dare to take your cat out to show us whether its buttocks are burnt? Do you dare to? Huh?" Jessica was rendered speechless by her, so she leaned on Mr. Akuffo and sobbed. "Dear, look at Sonnia. She embarrassed
It was undeniable that the girl in the photograph looked similar to Hilda. However, the girl in the picture looked especially gentle and docile with her bare face, whereas Hilda had fine makeup on and had a forceful presence. It was the same face, but it gave off different auras. Diana pointed at the man in the picture while asking mysteriously, "Do you know this man?" Jessica got closer to have a look, and she noticed that the man in the picture seemed to be in his teens or early twenties. He looked handsome and elegant, he was wearing an ordinary white shirt but it did not diminish his elegance. Nevertheless, the picture seemed aged, and so Jessica simply didn't recognize him. Diana was delighted when she claimed "He is the 9th Old Master Jones! He is also your family head's 9th younger brother, Alban Jones!" Jessica was stunned to silence at the mention of the 9th Old Master. I've never met the 9th Old Master before, but I have heard too many stories involving him. He is a l
It took Nathan a lot of effort to help Hilda vent her frustrations. The next day, his whole body felt sore. I can't do this anymore, I'm getting old. The disadvantages of an old husband with a young wife is apparent now. I feel as if I am completely worn, but she is a young woman with healthy needs and desires. Previously, I was thirty while she was twenty, but soon, she'll be thirty, whereas I will be forty. Today, Kyle deliberately came over to their house to thank Nathan. "Nathan, thank you very much. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have been able to keep the situation under control." Nathan was slumped on the couch. He didn't want to move at all because he felt as if he had been completely hollowed out. I wh*re myself out, but he's benefitting from it. Hahaha. "I'm going to say the same thing, get your cheap mother in law to behave. This is the last chance." Kyle nodded earnestly. That mother in law of mine isn't a good person, but I am her son in law, after all. Hence, I h
