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
Linux poured himself another glass of wine. Then, he tipped his head back and took a large swig of the entire glass of wine. He put the glass down and turned to the other side to glimpse at Sonnia and Hilda, who laughed as they chatted away. Thomas was keenly aware of the odd look that passed through Linux' eyes a moment ago. He seems to be watching Hilda? Without the blessings and positive wishes from others on love matters, it's better to tuck the feelings away in one's own heart... A deeply buried secret in Linux' heart. Thomas was startled since he seemed to have discovered something astonishing before breaking out in cold sweat. This is quite a big deal, he thought. I need to inform Nathan about this as soon as possible. Something bad might happen if I push it aside! The drinking and eating lasted until late at night before everyone gradually excused themselves for the rest of the night. Hilda slept in Thomas' guest room at night. Luna was already sound asleep when Hilda
Briana grabbed onto Hilda while beating her up, but Hilda refused to surrender. "Go on and hit me. I will never beg you even if you were to beat me to death. I will snatch Nathan away from you in the next life even if I end up dead today. Nathan is my hubby, do you hear me? He is mine! Mine! You don't even stand a chance with me! Previously, you abandoned him, and so you do not have the right to get him back now!" Briana was blinded by fury, and she screamed hysterically. She scolded Hilda while grabbing her by her hair and beating her up. "Beg me not to kill you! Beg me!" Hilda gritted her teeth when she retorted, "Go on and hit me! I'II surrender if you are able to make me beg for mercy!" Briana vented her frustrations by beating Hilda. She regarded Hilda, who was bruised all over, and she felt good about herself. However, something flashed through Briana's mind, and she seemed to have realized something. Then, she spat at Hilda, "I almost fell for your trick! You are just st
That day, the headline in Taadi City was 'Young Lady Damien Killed the Descendent of a Late Hero, Briana McKinney'. 'Nathan Clemon's Wife Killed His Lover!' The news shook the entire Taadi City, and it especially affected the financial world. Everybody was speculating whether the alliance between Connie and the military would cease to exist over this matter. This wasn't the first time Briana had stirred up trouble, but the Cannon Family had been turning a blind eye so far. Besides, they had been supporting her ever since she returned to the country. Hence, it was obvious how protective the Cannon's were over Briana. Hilda was considered the Clemon's daughter in law, but her relationship with Nathan was a mystery. Nathan only managed to rush back home at noon the next day after the incident. Currently, the Taadi City newspapers were filled with news of Hilda murdering Briana. There were a few pictures of her, showing her covered in petrol and blood while being tied to a pole, publ
Two days had passed, but Thomas felt as if a few centuries had gone by. The guilt was crushing him. The fear and guilt for the past two days had been overwhelming for him, and so he couldn't sleep or eat well. Hence, he had lost a lot of weight. Thomas mumbled something, but he finally answered Rex, "Rex, I am sorry. It's J.. just that I.. l." He didn't know how to explain the situation to Rex. "Alright, that's enough. Stop speaking. Look at yourself, you are filthy and smelly. You look so disheveled too. My guess is that you haven't had anything to eat, am I right? Let's chat after having a meal." Without any further comment, Rex dragged Thomas back to the company, where they always slept in anyway. After a shower, Thomas started gobbling up food without even being bothered to dry his hair. He hadn't really had anything to eat for the past two days, so he was famished, he finished Rex's stash of instant noodles in no time. In fact, he wolfed down three tubs of instant noodles.
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
