The events unfolded one after the other according to plan. Just when the case with Diana's tax evasion was finally beginning to subside and the public was on the verge of turning their attention to something else, Pourl made a move to sue Diana for scamming. In effect, they were using the whole ordeal with Diana as an opportunity to market their brand. Since Diana admitted that she didn't earn as much as fifty million per month, the fact that she requested a compensation of fifty million from Pourl would be a scam. The list for compensation was done by Diana's team, which listed out in black and white each of the items that were being compensated for. Compensation for medical bills and mental anguish didn't even amount to a million, while the rest were all compensation for loss of income. Diana had no way of denying any of the claims, as it was listed out on paper. The lawsuit caught Diana unawares. It wasn't until then that she realized she had fallen into a trap. Right after the
On the other hand, William knew Peace was often being harassed by Briana, but he also acknowledged the fact that she didn't like to have a bodyguard following her around. Thus, he adopted two retired army dogs that she could bring along with her to work, which were with her at the moment. However, Hilda held her back. "That won't be necessary. I can handle her." In the meantime, Briana was waiting downstairs, knowing that Nathan was upstairs, orbiting around that wench, Maya as usual. She decided she would make everybody's life difficult, because she could easily get away due to her parents' status as fallen heroes. Soon, Hilda showed up wearing a pair of sunglasses and having a lion beside her. Upon noticing Briana's presence, she walked toward Briana with the lion in tow, which shocked Briana so much that she ran away shuddering. It wasn't until then that she led Koklo onto the car to head back home with Nathan tagging along. Not even Nathan could do anything about Briana. "Sh
When it was time for the cocktail party in the morning, the guests were already gossiping about it, but none dared confront the newly married couple. It was their wedding after all, so it didn't seem nice to dump such a scandal in their faces In the meantime, Hilda's private jet landed on the island. As a member of the Damien family, she figured she should bear witness to the wedding of the century, or else, as what Diana told her, it wouldn't be complete. The wedding would last for three days. On the first day, the ceremony and the dinner party would take place. On the second day, there would be more exciting performances and other social gatherings. On the final day, all of them would board the cruise ship and return to Taadi. Although the most climactic and sacred part of the wedding was over, Hilda didn't think she was late. The show has just begun. After showing the security guards her invitation card, she got into the place easily. Also, she was accompanied by some people.
The island was located on the Pacific Ocean within the territory of Lome. It was also the property of Lynn and Diana. Since Lome had been gripped by internal conflicts recently, they had arranged enough troops and firepower on the island. However, they had never expected that Connie was bold enough to deploy a naval ship and submarines, which were enough to take control of Lome. Connie was a mad woman who would destroy her opponents at all costs, even if she had to be brought down as well in the process. If a missile was dropped on this island, all of the important members of the Monni, Jones and the Damien family would be dead. Connie thought of herself as only one woman, so the sacrifice would be worth it. Even though Elizabeth and Salem were enraged, they had to pretend to be gentle while dealing with Connie. "Hey Connie, we haven't met for more than twenty years!" Feigning surprise, Elizabeth clinked glasses with Connie. In an impassive manner, Connie replied, "It's nice to
"My life is over... My life is over... Both the Damien Family and the Jones Family want to dump me... My own family also wants to dump me... I'm going to die as well... She's back! Hilda Adams is back!" Seeing as she had gone mad, Lynn stared at her in a derisive manner. However, he had managed to get a piece of useful information from her, she mentioned Hilda Adams. He had been pursuing his doctorate degree for the past few years in a foreign country. Having returned to the country just two years ago, he didn't know who Hilda was. When he stepped out of the bedroom, he came across Sahara, who was going to check on Diana. "Lynn, how's Diana?" Sahara asked. With a contemptuous expression, Lynn replied, "She's gone mad. Don't worry. She's still alive." Sahara let out a sigh, thinking that it was a shame that Diana was destroyed. She's no match for Maya after all! It seems that Maya is clever than I expected. In one easy move, she managed to ruin the political marriage between the t
After entering the bedroom, he placed Hilda on the bed and gave her some sleeping pills so that she could have a proper rest. When he was certain that she was asleep, he went to the infirmary to check on Kater and Koklo. Koklo was still asleep. At that moment, the veterinarian was shaving all its fur to get its wounds treated. The wounds on its body were a frightening sight to behold, and its blood was splashed across the floor. Meanwhile, Connie, the Monni, the Damien, the Jones and some guests were reaching for the crime scene. Linux boarded the ship to check on Koklo and said, "It's fine. These are all flesh wounds." However, Kater was badly injured. Its skull was broken, and there were wounds all over its body. Fortunately, the animal had stopped bleeding. While Rex was sobbing on the side, Sonnia was patting his back, trying to comfort him. Although Kater was paralyzed by the tranquilizer, it hadn't passed out. As a living animal with emotions, it was tearing up in fright.
After Rex turned off the video, Kyle hurriedly told his people to pack up the system. Otherwise, his system would be smashed if the others went into a scuffle. At that instant, no one had the guts to utter a word. The Jones and the Damien's were left flabbergasted. The guests felt that their world view had been shattered. "Oh, God! Did you see that? Diana was pierced to death!" "Yes. The woman was still moving initially. Oh my goodness! That was cruel!" While the expressions of Elizabeth and Alban had darkened, the look on the faces of Salem and Lynn was even gloomier, because those men in black worked for the Damien's. Rex was so enraged to the point that his expression was eerily calm. By now, he had memorized all the faces of those men who had harmed Kater. Still, they were just executing the order of the Damien's, who were Rex's real enemy. Pointing at them, Rex sneered. "The Cannon's are not as rich as the Damien's, but that doesn't mean you can harm us as you please! That
At the thought of the future ahead, an intense feeling rose in Francis' heart. They knew that if they went back now, they would probably die at the hands of Salem. Since they had left the Damien Family, they were now considered traitors. Therefore, being found by Salem would mean certain death. Not only would they die, but their families would also suffer. This was Salem's reign of terror! If one didn't obey him, he would kill one's parents, wives, and children! Thomas patted Francis on the shoulder and said, "It's okay. Your men's families are safe now. You can rest assured to follow Connie in the future. It will benefit all of you." Francis nodded, his gaze more determined than ever. They were members of the Damien Family and were forever loyal to the Damien Family! Moreover, Connie would have been the wife of the former patriarch, Adrian Damien! Since Salem did not show us mercy, we're not to blame! Although Francis was only a minor leader, he still had a group of confidants
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
