The battle between Bourne and King ended with the former's complete defeat. Sahara had learned her lesson and had started doing public welfare campaigns to get the public's approval. Meanwhile, Hilda began to prepare for her new product launch event for Pourl this summer. At the new product launch event, not only should the products have highlights, but the event must also have something eye catching. It needed to attract attention and increase the attention on Pourl. Now that Bourne had stepped back, the domestic market was now Pourl's stage. If they needed something eye catching, Hilda had just the thing. Taking the relevant materials with her, Hilda put on her face mask and went out. Pushing the door open, she was greeted with the sight of a garden in full bloom. It had rained last night and the air was great this morning, spring was here and everything was growing anew. It felt fantastic! Hilda had just exited the door when Connie appeared right behind her. "Darling, where ar
Luna's nannies were all nursery experts from different countries. She had been nurtured since she was a child and had learned multiple languages, so this situation was nothing to her. Connie held Luna and smiled dotingly at her, formally introducing the existence of Luna to the Jordan Family. Luna, on the other hand, did her best to stall Connie. She sat in her arms and chatted awkwardly with the elders of the Jordan Family, while Hilda went out to walk the dogs with Nathan. Walking Kater and its puppies was quite stressful for Hilda. These three would demolish the house every day and make a huge mess. Simply put, they were like a Cerberus from Hell. Kater was Rex's dog and he had left it at Nathan's house, but for some unknown reason Kater tended to stick to Hilda. Maybe in this silly dog's eyes, Nathan and her were family, so it was fine with staying with either of them. However, Hilda's place obviously had better food and treatment, plus it had a villa there. In comparison, B
At that moment, the man seemed to have fallen asleep from exhaustion. He looked approximately forty years old, the corners of his eyes weary and full of wrinkles. As they walked past him, the mischievous Kater rushed forward to take a sniff at him. He then bit the insurance leaflet in the man's hand and yanked it away, waking the man up. Hilda raised her palm and made a gesture as if to hit the dog. "Don't take other people's things! Return it now or I'll punish you!" "Don't worry about it. It's just an insurance flyer and it's alright if he takes it." Nathan murmured. And so, the two led their dogs and walked slowly away. The man on the bench suddenly opened his eyes and looked at the group of people who had left. "Hilda?" He whispered. The man's voice was hoarse from a whole day of pushing insurance sales, which was why he spoke softly. Despite that, Hilda could still hear him. She turned around and took off her mask as she looked at him. What she saw was an unfamiliar, tired
Ever since Adrian's passing, Connie rarely took any photos. Now that she was reunited with her daughter, she picked up the camera again and took Hilda's photos. Just look at how beautiful her daughter was, she was absolutely adorable. Holding her DSLR, Connie snapped away at Hilda's every move. She could even take a dozen shots of Hilda picking strawberries. After snapping photos of her daughter, it was her granddaughter's turn. She took close up shots of Luna who was naturally photogenic and she effortlessly posed for the camera. Meanwhile, Nathan was also snapping pictures of his daughter. She was truly the apple of his eye. To him, she was extremely lovable, everything she did was nothing but adorable. After taking Luna's photos, Nathan also secretly snapped a few photos of Hilda. Unfortunately for him, he was caught by Connie. Immediately, Connie strode over and blocked the shot, turning around to viciously glare at Nathan. Upon seeing that, Nathan grunted in disdain. What a
There were pigs of all sizes in the pen, all fed with a mixture of grass and grains that were grown on the farm. Leaning on the fence, Luna chirped, "Let's count the piggies, Grandma." Connie counted it all with just a glance. "There are seven big ones and eight smaller ones." Pointing at the pigs, Luna counted them one by one slowly. "You're wrong, Grandma. There are only four big piggies and six small piggies." Skeptical, Connie pointed at the pigs. "Look, there are seven big piggies, four hairless piggies and three with long fur." "Grandma, you're mistaken." Luna giggled. "The long fur ones are doggies!" As soon as she said that, the three long furred 'pigs' came running wildly toward Connie. They were completely covered in dirt, to the point of being unrecognizable. It turned out to be the three dogs that they brought along! After rolling around in the pen, they were filthy! Frightened, Connie took a couple steps back. Filled with enthusiasm, one of the dogs leaped over
The next day, Hilda and Connie went to the military compound. Meanwhile, Nathan tagged along and brought Luna with him. Not long after, they arrived Old Master Cannon was still in good spirits despite his age and he was thrilled to see them. Joining their visit to the Cannon Residence, Kater disappeared as soon as he went into the military compound. After all, this was where it grew up. When Rex moved out, he brought Kater with him. At that moment, Luna went to find her own little companions. The Imperial was not too far from the military compound. Back then, Nathan would send Luna to the between the Clemon and Cannon Residence whenever he would be away from home. Hence, she had made friends with the kids around there. ............... During lunch, Hilda saw a man had carried Luna over, it was hard to tell his age. This man had sharp and bright eyes, and he looked confident and assertive. It was obvious he was a Cannon. Despite that, he was gentle as he carried Luna and played
At that moment, Nathan and Connie were chatting and drinking tea with Mark. After listening to Connie talk about fire arms and the Jordan Group, Mark suddenly asked, "Oh, where's the other kid? What's his name... Lionel?" Upon hearing this, Connie fell silent. Back then, Linux had stolen information from the Cannon Family for the Hex through Caleb and Hilda. Connie's heart stung at the thought. "He's busy so he couldn't make it!" Connie said. Clearly, Old Master Cannon was very fond of Linux. "I like that kid." At that moment, Nathan fell silent too. Sooner or later, they had to reveal Linux' past. However, Nathan had his own motives and wanted to negotiate the terms with Connie. Connie, on the other hand, hated negotiating. It was the biggest provocation to her, not to mention Nathan was trying to negotiate terms using her children. Therefore, Nathan felt this was a rather sticky situation. Exhausted from playing, Luan came back and fell asleep almost instantly. Not long af
Nathan calmly introduced who Briana McKinney was, including how they knew each other since childhood, how they started dating, how they broke up and everything that happened after that. He even emphasized on how Briana harmed herself to frame Hilda but was caught. After listening to Nathan's introduction, Hilda couldn't help but sigh. "It seems that the two family really did ruin her life." Briana started dating Nathan at the age of eighteen and dated him for over seven years. She didn't expect Nathan to retire from the army and enter the business industry. At that time, Briana already had great achievements but she wanted more. She felt that Nathan wasn't able to take her up the social ladder. Which was why she quickly switched to rely on William and was with him for a few years. In the end, William abandoned her unexpectedly. She wanted to return to Nathan's side but realized Nathan was married, so she thought about William. However, William had gotten married too and he had mar
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
