Alban said to Hilda, "You've had a hard time recently." As she peered at his face, the image of Corrado eating sh*t flashed across her eyes. She then started recalling the scene of Alban kissing Corrado earlier. Putting these two images together... Hilda instantly felt nauseous. Even though Alban had a high social status, Hilda only had one thought at this moment. Bleurgh! Staring at Alban's face, a wave of nausea swept over Hilda. The food that she ate earlier began churning in her stomach. Before she realized it, the taste of vomit had filled her throat. She immediately cradled her mouth, ran into the bathroom, and vomited out everything that she ate today. After that, she turned around and saw Corrado sitting on the toilet with a deep yearning in his eyes. It was as if he was waiting to start digging into the pile of mashed up food beneath her. The sight of that made her queasy again... Alban came over and asked, "Hilda, what's going on?" While Nathan was getting some wate
Unlike Nathan, not many men in Taadi City could match up to Winnifred. Alban knew that once Winnifred began her hunt, Nathan would not have a way out. Although this would be cruel to Hilda, Alban nonetheless felt that Hilda deserved someone better than Nathan, who was better off with someone like Winnifred. As for Hilda, she deserved a better husband like himself. While everyone thought that Alban had helped the Jones Family find a wealthy man to be their so in law, Elizabeth sensed that Alban was up to something else. As the 9th Old Master of the Jones Family, his marriage was always a big concern for everyone in the family, including Elizabeth, because whether or not he got married influenced his standing in this family. Having observed Alban's recent whereabouts, Elizabeth knew that he had always spent time at Nathan's place. She knew that he was there for Hilda. Now that he was giving all that he had to set Nathan up with Winnifred, he reckoned that his ultimate goal was pe
Elizabeth had certainly looked into who Hilda was. She thinks she's Cinderella, but she's just the adopted daughter of a late son of the Adams Family. She doesn't even come close to being included in the genealogy record book. It's such a waste that Nathan chose to be with her... Recently, Alban had been finding reasons to visit Nathan's place now that Corrado was sent back. In the end, he thought he could use visiting her while she was sick as an excuse. In fact, he had been worried about Hilda's health condition. On the other hand, he reckoned that Winnifred had started executing her plan to get close to Nathan. I wonder how that's going. So long as it's Winnifred, Nathan isn't going to have a way out. Alban had been following Nathan around recently, hoping to obtain some evidence of him being with Winnifred to show Hilda. But his efforts had not been fruitful so far. I can no longer sit back and wait. I'm going to their house to check it out. A couple of days later, he showe
Hilda felt goosebumps all over looking at them. "Get out. I don't want to see either of you. Please get out of my sight in three seconds." Then, she turned around and left the two of them outside the big metal gate. When they saw that she was leaving, one quickly shouted, "It's the Jones Family. They have their eyes on your husband, Nathan Clemon. They want him as their son in law!" Hilda stopped in her tracks abruptly. At this point, the elder did not try to build suspense anymore. With a flushed face, he said, "You're going to make it big. The Jones have their eyes on Nathan! As long as you divorce him, you will automatically be set up with someone even better than Nathan!" The way they saw it, Nathan might be rich but he still did not compare to the Jones Family. Being favored by the young lady of the Jones Family was the result of the good fortune he had earned in his previous life. "This is such a good opportunity. As long as you divorce Nathan, the Jones Family will fulfil
At the Jones residence, Elizabeth heard about the setback they faced today from the Adams elders. Standing in front of Elizabeth, the elders were so nervous that they started sweating profusely. One stammered, "Ms. Elizabeth, don't worry. She's still a daughter of the Adams family. We will find a way. Give us two... no, one day. We will convince her." Meanwhile, Elizabeth simply waved her hand weakly and said, "You can leave for now." They did not dare to say anything else and walked away with heavy steps. Some time after they left, the door to Elizabeth's office opened again and a young man walked in. The man looked weary as if he had traveled a long distance. He was dressed in a solid black, classic British suit and wore a black top hat on his head. When he bowed deeply before Elizabeth, every move he made was carried out in a noble and dignified manner. "I've arrived, Ms. Jones." Elizabeth looked up at the man in front of her who was also wearing a pair of gold rimmed glasse
Nathan felt his heart start to race. Taking out his phone, he tried calling Hilda. During this time, Hilda was going down to the basement with Lily. When she received his call, she answered, "Hubby, I'm in the basement with Lily. She says there are more things to look at here." While he was still on the phone, Nathan rushed down to the basement. He could not bear losing Hilda from his sight for even a moment now. Because the elevators were full, he ran down the stairs from the fifth floor. Johnathan, Gasper, and Toby were also following him at full speed. "Where are you? Don't move. I'II be right there." He exhorted. On the other end of the call, Hilda replied, "Okay, I..." She stopped talking all of a sudden, making Nathan's heart skip a beat. Before he could ask her what happened, he heard her terrified scream through the phone. "Ah!!" Then, the phone fell to the ground and her voice was cut off. Nathan stopped in his tracks for a moment as shock washed over him. When he a
Hilda stood stiffly in place and let the beads of tears roll down her cheeks. "No! Don't hurt my child!" She was shaking in fear, but she did not have the strength to protect herself and her child. Despair, horror, and desperation. Those feelings manifested themselves into every single drop of tear that fell. Fortunately, Anthony was only gently feeling her belly over the thin fabric. "Why would I hurt him? He's my little nephew!" Grasping her hand, he said, "Let's get going." Glancing at the hostile people around them, she realized that they were all fully equipped and had come with an intention while she had no means of defending herself. The only person Hilda could look to for help was Lily, but Lily was not the same person anymore. Once Anthony escorted her into the plane, he ripped off her GPS watch and threw it onto the ground. Soon, the plane began to take off. Anthony looked at Lily, who remained on the rooftop landing pad, and said, "Thanks for all your help, Yvonne." Wi
A hand reached over and patted his shoulder as the person comforted him, "He's just giving you psychological pressure. Stop looking at it." Nathan looked over at William, who was sitting beside him. Indeed, William and a group of men from the Cannon Family were accompanying him around the world to look for Hilda other than Nathan's own mercenaries. The infamous international fugitive, Hex, had resurrected and snatched away Hilda and her unborn baby. Since Nathan was once in the military, the military had specially approved a special task force led by William to rescue Hilda. Nathan glanced at William but remained silent. After suffering from so much torture, Nathan became numb until he couldn't be bothered by anything. However, he didn't expect that William was the one stepping in this time. In the face of real distress, the little grudge that was once there didn't seem worth mentioning anymore. They traveled around the world and struck out several times for the sole purpose of ge
