Recently, the Frimpong International Energy and Technology started to officially operate, their facilities greatly improved the utilization rate of petroleum, so they were swamped by large amounts of orders. There was no way Connie could be in two places at once, so it meant that she could not chase after Hilda despite knowing where she was. Therefore, Nathan happily kidnapped Hilda and the airplane flew away. When the airplane landed in the airport, she still felt embarrassed as she had her flip flops on the moment she stepped on the tarmac. Besides, she was still in her pajamas. Nevertheless, Nathan placed an arm around her shoulders while reassuring, "Don't worry, we are heading to the hotel first. I have already prepared some clothes for you." Somehow, they held hands and he even intermittently kissed her cheeks. They seemed very intimate and became even closer, in fact, they looked like a family of three on vacation. After all, they were getting into a car once they alighted
Today was the day to get the ball rolling. Samuel predicted the best date and time, 9:15 AM was the perfect time for the opening ceremony, so Nathan scheduled accordingly. He set his alarm to go off at 6:00 AM. Upon waking up, he planned to go for a round with Hilda and it would be in time to catch a cold shower at 6:30 AM before waking Luna up. Then, he would leave the hotel at 7:00 AM for breakfast before making his way to work 7:30 AM. The opening ceremony would then start at 9:15 AM, it was a perfect schedule. It was 6:15 AM with traces of dawn. Hilda was still sleepy, but she was blushing. She lightly pointed at Nathan's sweaty chest while reminding, "Don't think that I will end up with you just because I slept with you." Nathan responded, "No worries. There is no rush when it comes to feelings. We can talk about that in the future." Hilda added, "I am no longer the same Hilda as before." Nathan replied, "That's alright. Nobody can ever predict things like feelings and lo
After Luna calculated her money, she stared at her father with large, mischievous eyes. Nathan then made a pointed comment, "Are you hoping to chat about the film with me? Hmph, I am angry right now. I'm not telling you anything." A proud Luna looked away. "Hmph, nobody needs you to do that!" Hilda was amused as she watched the pair of dramatic father and daughter. It is undeniable that they are biologically related. Nathan claimed that he would not talk about the film, but he relented in the end and discussed it whereas she absorbed the knowledge in all seriousness. She slept early that night, but before going to bed, she placed her hard earned 200 under her pillow. She was determined to sleep on her second pot of gold because she was afraid that he would ransack her hard earned money like before. On the other side, Hilda and Nathan went to business on the couch in the living room. After that, she rose from the bed to have some water before asking, "Tell me, do you think it's a
Hilda was extremely unhappy about the turn of events. I am a 27 year old young woman and an adult. So what if I have a s*x life? What's the problem with it? She's always trying to control everything. Is she planning to control my bathroom schedule and s*x time table? What was done cannot be undone. Not to mention, Nathan had already tested the waters several times. "Hilda's wedding gown has been collecting dust at home." "Four years ago, Hilda and I had scheduled a wedding photoshoot set and it's about to expire." "My mom's old friend who has been very kind to me is gravely ill in the intensive care unit, and he might pass away anytime. The old man's greatest wish before his death is to see me marry Hilda." Nevertheless, every time Nathan expressed his wish, Connie would merely glare in response. Nathan tried his hardest to bring the wedding forward as he thought, Although I've slept with my wife and we have a marriage certificate, something feels missing without the ceremony b
The director also did not want to cause any more trouble and merely wanted the rest of the group to apologize to Briana before waiting for her to calm down. Once that was done, they were able to return to filming. What he never expected was that she was still not satisfied even after the actress kneeled and apologized to her. She rushed forward and pulled the woman's hair before shoving her head onto the ground. "Tell me clearly! Who am I worse than? Who? Am I more beautiful or is the b*tch more beautiful?" While sobbing, the actress quickly said, "You're beautiful! You are the most beautiful! You're more beautiful than anyone else!" Briana was angered to the point where it had distorted her facial features, she was no longer the most beautiful woman in the military as she stepped on the actress' hands to vent her anger. "Who did you say I am? A mistress? Open your filthy eyes wide and look at me! Do I look like someone's mistress to you? Do I? How can I, Briana McKinney, be some
The main reason why Briana was able to call the shots was because she was Nathan's 'mistress' and everyone was merely respecting Nathan. Now that his wife had showed up, the crowd respected her even more since she was his legal wife. Even if Hilda was not his spouse, her background itself was rather impressive. Soon, Nathan caught wind of what happened. Briana, again! Briana had recently been showing off her position as Nathan's mistress. He remembered the good deeds that her ancestors had done, so he informed them to cut her some slack so that the situation would not end badly. What happened in the end was her taking advantage of the leeway to even start a fight with Hilda. Nathan had a feeling that he needed to nip the problem in the bud before it would give him hell in the future. However, his biggest trouble now was not Briana. Rather, it was his mother in law, who was difficult to appease. She was a stubborn person who was a recluse to everything, be it good or bad, making
The two women in the ward had calmed down since it was useless to expose each other's scars as they shared a common enemy, Hilda. Briana wanted Hilda dead, that was the only way in which she could claim Nathan as her own. On the other hand, Sahara not only wanted Hilda to die, but she also wanted to destroy the matrimony between the Clemon Family and Connie. Having Hilda dead was the best method in achieving that goal and Briana was an important piece to making it happen. Sahara sat by the edge of Briana's bed and lifted her black rimmed sunglasses before speaking frankly, "I have a plan, which will definitely have Hilda out of the picture. I just need to find someone to execute it. Do you have an interest in it?" Briana scoffed while answering, "Are you thinking of using me as an assassin?" "What do you mean by using you as an assassin?" Sahara responded. "I just can't get someone who'll be able to do the deed in a better manner than you. After all, you are the apple of Old Mas
Two of Briana's assistants stood guard at the door to her ward. When they saw Thomas walking down the corridor toward their direction, they hastily stepped in front of him to bar him from further advancing. One of them said, "Miss Briana is having a discussion with Young Master Rex. She specifically informed us that they are not to be disturbed." A discussion? Thomas thought. What sort of discussion are they having that can be more important than the business meeting later today? It had already been agreed that today would be the day that they would negotiate with the Jordan Group. Although it was safe to say that they were on good terms with Linux after burying the hatchet with him, it was still not like Rex's style to be late. Furthermore, Rex had always been known to be highly self disciplined and punctual. Why isn't he picking up his phone? It's not like Rex to ignore his phone for no apparent reason. Thomas wished that he could knock on the door, but Briana's assistants were
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
