Any man would want to pick her up and protect her to the best of their ability. Before she could say anything, Nathan spoke up first with a bitter look of regret. His words were as sharp and merciless as knives. "Briana, we are not young anymore. We're adults now and we have to be reasonable. Therefore, the past should stay in the past. You're already in your mid thirties. So, you should understand that we're long past the age of living for the sake of love. Look at you, you cried so much that your wrinkles are showing!" Those words stabbed into her heart, that beat only for the sake of love, like blades. Subconsciously, she touched the corner of her eyes. Sure enough, she could feel roughness against her once smooth skin. Knowing that he was coming today, she had secretly put on some light makeup in advance to sway his heart. However, her crying just now had washed away her makeup, causing her wrinkles to appear. Nathan's cruel words had revealed a truth she did not wish to adm
The internet advocates were specialized in this field. Therefore, they were very skilled in this area. Only one day had passed since they started their work, and Briana's image of a strong, yet fragile lady was in full swing. In addition, she posted words such as 'No matter how painful life is, we need to stay strong' and 'Medicine may be bitter, but I still have to take it to live' on Twitter. Occasionally, she also shared some tidbits on depression. Thus, her image of a tragic and pitiful woman came alive on paper. With that, she successfully built an image of herself as a strong yet fragile lady, who had bottled up all her grievances. I'm sure Nathan will look at me! After all, Old Master believed it! Although Old Master couldn't meet her every day, he would call her daily. However, Nathan never called... In the end, she couldn't stand it anymore and took the initiative to call Nathan instead. "Nate... Did I mess things up again? I'm sorry... I didn't mean to... I never thought t
Nathan pretended not to understand her words. "Yeah. If you like it, you should play with it more." Upon hearing his reply, Hilda lost her temper and decided to ignore him. Over the next few days, she would also blow up from time to time without rhyme nor reason. "Nathan Clemon! You used to wear the belts from GUCCI. Why did you change to the belts from LV?! Are you sick of what you have? Are you going to get sick of me soon? You used to be able to last for more than 45 minutes! Why did you only last 30 minutes today? Are you getting tired of me? Do I disgust you? Tell me clearly! Don't you dare pretend to sleep! Stay away from me! You're too handsome. It's going to make me blind. I can't stand looking at you!" After squabbling for two days, Nathan ended up at the dog kennel Hilda had mentioned. It was a shop Sonnia owned. As soon as he arrived, the shopkeeper said, "Mr. Nathan Clemon, you're finally here! Your dog is ready, you can bring it home immediately." He had a gloomy expr
It was extremely hectic backstage, the animals were walking all over the place. At the same time, it felt like something was simmering beneath the surface. Still, Nathan would not try to do anything today. After all, it was an important day for Hilda. However, an unexpected guest appeared just before the fashion show officially started. "Briana, why are you here?" Hilda froze in shock for a moment when she saw Briana. Still, she smilingly invited Briana inside. She was not afraid of Briana acting up today as the place was crawling with dogs. Briana's appearance today made her seem like another person altogether when compared to how she looked back at the hospital. Like a patient dying of a critical illness, she looked pitiful and pale faced back then so much so that her wrinkles were showing. Now, she looked like a radiant beauty. Her face was exquisite, and her makeup was elegant. Her entire being seemed to radiate gracefulness. This version of Briana was the one Hilda was familia
The two of them took a short walk and came to an isolated corner where they were alone and away from everybody else's sight. Hilda took a swig of water before saying, "Briana, what do you want to say?" Briana hesitated to speak. She looked like she had to muster up her courage before she said, "Hilda, as you know, the Old Master wishes for Nate and me to get back together." Hilda snorted loudly, it could be considered her response to Briana's words. It was not the first time the Old Master Cannon had expressed that he wanted Nathan to get back together with Briana. Following that, Hilda would be 'freed', and the platoon of young men he had prepared could finally be put to use.. When Briana saw that Hilda didn't have much of a reaction to her words, she pretended to cry crocodile tears again. Biting on her lower lip, she looked like it was hard for her to speak. In the end, she said, "Hilda, the Old Master heard that you are infertile. And, that's why Nathan still doesn't have an
Briana's latest post was all over the place. One could almost tell the extreme rage and helplessness she was in when she composed it. At the same time, many video recordings of Briana being splashed with water and her yelling at Hilda in public were uploaded on the Internet. Everyone knew before this that Briana had been wronged but she chose to keep quiet about it. Finally, she exploded with anger today. These incidents had enraged all her fans, who started criticizing Hilda on Twitter in exasperation. The 'ignorant scumbag' Nathan was also targeted. Meanwhile, Briana called Nathan, who was loath to answer the call. He instructed Nuella to keep tabs on the development of the news on the Internet. "Please remove all relevant news as quickly as possible. At the same time, please release the news of the two artists who have been secretly married for eight years and are now getting divorced." The public fight between Briana and Hilda became a media firestorm for just one day before
Hilda, who had been keeping quiet, finally responded. She responded by posting a few arrogant words on her Twitter: 'Call the police if you dare then!' These words were automatically interpreted by many as: 'I wanted to kill you, so what? I have people backing me up. If you want, go ahead and call the police!' She's so arrogant and ferocious. How can she be so arrogant after hurting someone? This is absolute lawlessness! Many fans became enraged by the post right away and could not take their eyes off this matter. Briana never intended to go to the police about it as she was feeling guilty. The discreet place where the incident happened was handpicked by her so that no third party would be able to testify against and for any of them. There was nobody in that emergency passage, nor were there any surveillance cameras. However, many in the hospital hallway saw Hilda when she surreptitiously followed Briana. If investigations were to be carried out, it would just be her words ag
This was a completely unexpected turn of events. In the same Twitter post, Nathan wrote in a sarcastic tone for the first time: 'It seems like Miss McKinney had a pretty serious head injury!' If her falling down the stairs was an accident that caused her to bump her head and become confused as to what happened, how does she explain this incident? How could she still take Hilda's glass and splash water onto herself to frame her if she had a head injury? She's incredibly sick! Just moments ago, she was still an innocent and aggrieved lady, in the next second, she splashed water on herself without batting an eye and pretended to be framed and frightened. Her malicious acting skills and perfect pretense truly made one's blood run cold. It was no wonder that she was able to deceive so many for such a long time. At that point, the video clip came to an end. After processing the order of events, many realized that it was Briana acting up by herself all along, one drama after another. A
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
