It was the morning of a work day so there weren't many people walking nearby. Hilda was wearing a mask as she looked around her shops with a few bodyguards. Several of her shops were large in size and they were in a good location. The previous tenants sold luxury goods, but as they were small brands, they couldn't afford to offend the Damien family and hurriedly moved. Hilda looked through the shops one by one as she thought about how to attract new tenants. After looking at two shops, she heard the click of high heels approaching her, turning around, she saw Sahara, who was decked in jewelry, had arrived. Looking at the empty shops, Sahara sneered, "You can't find new tenants, can you? As long as the Damien family exists, there is no way you will be able to rent your shops out! You are losing money every single day that you can't find a tenant! I advise you to hand over the shops to me!" Hilda ignored her and continued walking around the shop. The area of her shops were huge and
It was true that people would try their best to flaunt what they lacked the most. Sahara knew how she became the Young Lady of the Damien Family so even though she earned that title, her sense of inferiority toward herself was still deep rooted.In the past, Sahara often dreamed of being added into the record book. Now, not only has her dream came true, she even became the Young Lady of Damien Family. At that moment, she felt like she had overcome all the difficulties in her life so she turned to torture the next person that was in the same situation as she was in the past.Finally, Hilda couldn't hold it in and expressed her thoughts about the record book. "Some people are proud of being one of the Damien's, but others make the Damien's proud of them."With that, she hung up the phone without bothering to listen to Sahara's reply.Twenty years ago, Connie wasn't a pride for the Damien Family but today, some look back at her and wished she was part of the family. Therefore, they were
The shop was filled with dogs' odour and she hated it so much that she even tried to hold her breath while speaking. Who said that someone who owned a business of branded pet supplies would love pets? Sahara was one of those who hated these drooling creatures who shed fur, they were absolutely disgusting to her. Once she left, the atmosphere in the shop changed. It was evident that Sahara was openly snatching the remaining customers they had! Besides, she even said that she memorized the names of the guests today! Could it be that she wanted to threaten those who didn't attend Bourne's launching ceremony? What a cruel person she was! Who could win against her if she used this method to snatch the customers away? Fortunately, the guests that came today were Pourl's regulars, which were as close as a family, and they wouldn't easily betray them. Those unfamiliar customers were already won over by Sahara. Sonnia was the first to spring up. "Just you f*cking wait and see!" Every
Nathan knew that Connie didn't want him to enter into her threshold, but he was still surprised at how angry she was. Being a family with the Jordan Group was a dream so it was impossible for him to give up on that! In the past, he painstakingly tried to find Connie but that old woman hid so well, causing him so many difficulties in finding her. Therefore, he swore that he would specifically draw up a proposal she wouldn't be able to reject and start dealing with the Jordan company. That's one step closer to Hilda Putting down his phone, Nathan opened the window and under the night sky, he saw the lights were still on at the second floor of Linux' Villa. It seemed that Hilda was still awake. Nathan felt that he hadn't recovered completely so even after he came back, he didn't meet Hilda immediately. Truth was, he missed her so much that it almost drove him crazy. Looking at that brightly lit room, an idea suddenly came to him so he walked to the study and took out the Four Trea
Ever since Connie came back, she had only appeared twice. Unfortunately for the Damien Family, they couldn't lure her into the family. Therefore, the Damien Family had never seen Adrian's legendary daughter. Judging from her skin color and eyes, it seemed like Connie had her when she lived overseas for a few years. Today's spotlight was naturally on Sahara and her fiancé, a legitimate son of the Jones Family and was also Winnifred's cousin. Most importantly, he was worth hundreds of billions. "Maya." Hilda heard Sahara's voice while she was playing with her phone so she lifted her eyes from the screen and looked at her. At that moment, Sahara had stopped beside Hilda while a young, handsome, black haired man stood beside her. Both of them looked like a perfect couple when they stood together. Sahara held onto that noble, handsome young man as if she was flaunting a rare treasure. "This is my fiancé, Enoch Jones." Enoch extended his hand to Hilda and greeted her politely, "Nice t
Brian knew that Billy was emboldened due to his strong backing now, so Brian's accusation held no weight. However, it didn't mean that he would silently stay shut. "Billy, you stole all my design drawings back then, including Starry Night. Be honest with me, do you really think that you are worthy of the title 'designer'? Do you still have any professional ethics at all?" Professional ethics? Ha! Billy smiled and deliberately said loudly, "You have no evidence, yet you dare falsely accuse me of plagiarism and deny all the fruits of my labor in one sentence. Is this what you call professional ethics? Mr. Designer, I know that Pourl is facing bankruptcy but you shouldn't slander me for plagiarism just because of that! Do you think Pourl will be able to recover after you ruined the reputation of Bourne? Never! Our job requires talent and strength. Since you can't make good products, you should be eliminated by the market! Even without Bourne, you will never stand a chance! If you can
There were many pet dogs on the scene wearing that exact collar! Meanwhile, many had already started logging on social media to take a look at the picture to verify...It was only then did Billy realize that he had fallen into a trap.Hilda didn't come for Starry Night today.The comparison picture between the collar and his work would be published soon, and he could no longer escape the charge of plagiarism by then!He stared Brian down. So what if he plagiarized? Did Brian have proof that it was his design?Billy squeezed his fists and planned to continue lying till the end. The Jones Family and the Damien Family were the ones backing Bourne and no one dared to provoke these two families!Unexpectedly, Hilda spoke again. She no longer continued the topic of plagiarism, but instead started a new topic. "Just now, Mr. Billy said that in Bourne's design studio, there are security cameras which are turned on 24 hours per day. In addition to capturing the hard work of the designers, the
Today was Luna's concert, so Rex and Thomas were also here. Upon their arrival, Thomas immediately sat next to Hilda and said, "Today's matters have spread all to all from the Damien Family and Sahara was majorly embarrassed again. Just this afternoon, many of Salem's men came to us and surrendered." What Sahara did this time was really disappointing. The Damien Family never cared about whether the process was right or wrong, they only cared about the results. Sahara was in charge of a good brand that had major advantages. In the end, the competitor stole all confidential information and even controlled her customer base, sending confidential information to the customers. After the accident, the method Sahara chose to resort to was to threaten all customers? How disappointing. She really wasn't Maya's opponent at all. Hilda's staff have long entered Bourne, intercepted their customer base and obtained customer information. Now, these customers have become Pourl's potential custo
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
