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
Naturally, not all members of the aristocratic Family had the qualifications to attend the annual meeting, only those that were respected were invited. For that reason, the Adams family had cracked their head to obtain an opportunity to attend the annual meeting after all the scandals. When the Adams second hand yacht docked at the pier, they stepped onto the red carpet energetically. As the annual meeting would be held for three days, they brought along their luggage in preparation for a three day stay on the island. Upon getting off the yacht, a service staff hurriedly came forward to take their luggage from them and diligently helped them with the check in procedures. There were exclusive holiday villas and hotels on the island to host the people participating in the annual meeting. Therefore, more than enough accommodation and facilities were available for the guests' use. The moment the Adams family arrived, they saw that Jessica and her family had already arrived. As soon as
At the sign in area, the two sisters, Jessica and Victoria, arrived with their father. Taking out their family invitation, the names of their entire family were written on it. Families were generally invited to the annual meeting as a unit, only on rare occasions, would special and particularly outstanding individuals receive a personal invitation to attend. Therefore, Jessica's invitation included the names of the two sisters, their parents, their sons in law, as well as Isaac. In addition the names of Sonnia and Kyle were specially added at the back too. Once their identities were verified, the group was allowed to enter. Finally, it was the Adams turn. However, only the names of Adams family elders were written on the invitation, Hilda and Nathan's names were not on it. The elder became anxious. Previously, he wanted Hilda to attend the annual meeting this year. After all, it would serve to increase their reputation if she brought Nathan along with her. Contrary to their expect
Billy was talking to Winnifred when he suddenly seemed to notice that he was being discussed by this group of people and approached them. When the ladies saw that Winnifred was coming over, they hurriedly tried to fawn and flatter her. Then, Winnifred introduced Billy to the crowd, "This man is one of our family members. A few generations back, his family left to live abroad. His name is Billy Winterford, and he is a renowned designer of pet luxury goods. He has decided to return to Taadi to start up a business next year. For that reason, we are working together to start a studio to create a pet luxury goods brand in Taadi. I hope everybody will support our endeavor." Upon hearing those words, the ladies quickly nodded in agreement. On the other hand, Hilda frowned. Isn't this too much of a coincidence? I just started my business plan, but Winnifred is already becoming a business competitor? Billy didn't seem to have recognized Brian. After all, Brian had changed a lot during thes
The actual person and the person in the photo don't match at all! She practically photoshopped herself into an underaged girl! Moreover, she actually believes that's how she looks! On the other hand, Hilda only had eyes for the bigshot that was only one step away from becoming president of the country. Even if he failed to become the president, he's still a very high level bigshot! Nathan brought Hilda into the men's social circle. Widening her eyes to look for the bigshot, she could immediately tell the man with the imposing aura apart from the crowd with a single glance. The man was not that old, he was probably around Nathan's age. His back was straight and tall. His figure was dominating and his aura was extraordinary. Despite standing next to Kyle, he did not lose in any way. Rather, he had an air of maturity around him that came from the wisdom and experience he had accumulated over the years. Therefore, it made him stand out from the crowd. There were three types of older m
Alban called his assistant over and handed the name card he just received to her. "You have one hour. I want all the information on this person, including her parents, her family, her birthplace, her biographical information, and so on." The assistant accepted the name card and immediately began her investigation. However, she still said, "9th Old Master, if you want to investigate this person, you can find a lot of information on the internet. You can simply check on the internet in the meantime." A casual search on the internet would bring up a lot of information on Nathan Clemon's wife. After that, the assistant left the room. Then, Alban sat at his desk, turned on his computer, and typed the words 'Hilda Adams' into the search bar. To be honest, he didn't need to ask his assistant to investigate her. Her information was all over the internet, she even had an exclusive entry on Wikipedia. Clicking into her Wikipedia page, he read through her biography: Hilda Adams, 23 years o
However, those that could become friends with Adrian were surely influential. Since he had the surname 'Jones', then he was most probably part of the Jones Family. Besides, the Jones Family's record book changed every year. If they could add new people into it, then they could remove some of the people they were displeased with too. Moreover, Hilton was a person from over 20 years ago. Perhaps, he died a long time ago. Or, he failed to enter the record book in the first place. I'm sure many unpredictable things occurred in these 20 years... Even so, Nathan did not give up and skimmed through the book again. In particular, he paid attention to the bigshots that took up an entire page within the record book. Some of them even had an exclusive page just to introduce them. Among those people, Alban took up two pages all by himself. It could be seen that his position within the Jones Family was just beneath the family head. While looking through Alban's information, one sentence caught
The truth was that they were mutually in love with each other. For the sake of marrying Connie, Adrian went so far as to abandon the entire Damien Family and eloped with her. His plans were very thorough. Although he was only 18 at the time, he had considered everything, he brought enough money from home, planned their escape route, and chose the safest place for them to settle down. If everything went well, the Damien Family would never be able to find them. And, he succeeded. His father did everything in his power to find them but failed to locate them. Not long after that, Adrian sent a letter and a photo to his most trusted friend, Hilton. It was a photo of him and Connie in an ancient town. In his letter, he claimed that the two of them were living a blissful life after settling down in a quiet, ancient town. He had opened up a bookstore, and Connie was running a stall selling precooked snacks beside the bookstore. They were very happy together. Alban could never forget the wor
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
