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
Kater's surgery was successful, and its life was eventually saved, but it lost half of its teeth, one ear, and one claw. Because Kater was implicated in the Damien Family's internal conflict this time and suffered for no reason, Connie promised to make a full set of prostheses for it to ensure that it could move the same as before. But Koklo would live in Africa in the future. Connie had a large private grassland here. She made the decision to keep Koklo on the grassland and gradually teach it to hunt. Later, it would be released into the wild. If it couldn't survive on its own, then she would raise it over its lifetime. Hilda went to see Koklo. She couldn't touch its head anymore and could only look through a layer of glass. Koklo looked at Hilda from the other side of the glass. It was as meek as ever as it tried to push at the glass with its big head, appearing to headbutt Hilda's hand, which made her very sad. "Don't be sad. To it, Africa is its home." Nathan comforted Hilda,
It was rare that the two of them could get together in a small, confined space and whisper to each other. Nathan quickly seized the opportunity. The two of them hid in the cloakroom and kept their voices very low. "Hilda, look at this." Nathan took out his tablet, clicked on the webpage, and pulled out many kindergarten profiles. "I have been paying attention to kindergartens recently. These kindergartens have good teaching quality and great reviews in all aspects. Come, have a look." Hilda also paid great attention to the first kindergarten in Luna's life, so she quickly checked through the profiles seriously. Nathan introduced the characteristics of each kindergarten. It was as if he had opened them all by himself. Clearly, he had done his research. In the end, the two settled on an international upper class kindergarten, which was very close to home and had a good environment. But the threshold for admission seemed a bit high. The parents and the child all had to attend an in
Previously, Pourl's reputation was affected because of Koklo eating Diana. So, the business had stayed low for these two months. Now that the chaos had gradually settled down, Pourl prepared itself for another round of new product releases. Hilda took her pair of alpacas and the prairie cat to the store. In addition to customizing outfits, she also had to shoot a series of new promotional videos. The pair of alpacas were selected by Hilda at the largest alpaca breeding center in America and made for the best pets. They had been cultivated for several generations to have a gentle personality, an elegant posture, a beautiful appearance, and no slobbering. Thus, they were very photogenic and camera friendly as well. They were truly an aristocratic pair of alpacas, so the videos would surely be great. The quality of the models would also have a huge impact on sales. Kater used to be the top dog model, but now it was disfigured. It was estimated that it would have to retire for a period
After the interview, Connie wore a dark expression while Nathan held Hilda's little hand when they waited for Luna to be done with her interview. Although Connie's expression was dark, she did not voice out and stop Nathan, which made the latter feel that he had made some progress and was getting closer to having their second child. He felt that he had been testing Connie's limits every day. When they were waiting outside, they bumped into some familiar faces, for instance, Kyle and Sonnia. Their child, Ryan, was younger than Luna by only a couple of months. They applied for him to attend this kindergarten as well, and they were here today to attend the interview. Besides, Toby and his woman were here as well. They had been married for a few years and had given birth to a chubby son. They, too, had gotten the notice to attend the interview, and they were now waiting for their son to come out after the interview. Everyone was very nervous. Cold sweat appeared on their palms as the
Nathan anxiously waited for a long time downstairs without any idea if Hilda saw the thing that he gave. After some time, he saw a paper plane flying down from the balcony, which Fly obediently brought to him. He unfolded the paper plane and saw a few words on it. 'Who wrote the lyrics? It made me cringe.' Seeing that, he was overjoyed. Hilda is finally willing to talk to me, this means that she is not that mad anymore. He quickly took a pen to reply to her message and asked Leapy to send it upstairs. She soon saw his reply, which was only one sentence. 'It was from the love letter you wrote to me back then.' The message made her feel abashed. I can't believe that I actually wrote that before, but Nathan composing music on it and singing it is something even more unexpected. How embarrassing! However, I can't believe that he still remembers the love letter I wrote. Wasn't that something from ages ago? The paper plane flew out from the first floor again. Nathan caught the paper
After the ceremony, the parents had to leave their children to attend the Parent Association meeting organized by the kindergarten at another place. They had to select a president for the association and form a chat group with all the parents in it. On the other hand, the kids had to follow the teacher to the classroom to familiarize themselves with the environment and begin their first class. Hilda and Nathan arrived at the place where the parents gathered and began their first Parent Association meeting. Hilda glanced around and found that the kindergarten was quite high end while the parents were all wealthy and powerful with extraordinary backgrounds. There were also plenty of celebrities and politicians. In other words, the children studying here could be described as accompanying the royalties. The meeting started off by playing the security recordings of the classroom. There were 15 children in the class. As it was their first time attending kindergarten away from their pa
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
