The moment Anthony made an appearance, Lily instantly calmed down, as if she had found her faith. She raised her head and looked at him. As he was stepping forward, he fished out a pocket watch from his pocket and held it in front of Lily. He then spoke to her in a kind, gentle voice. "Look at it." Her highly tense spirit became relaxed at that moment. She looked at the pocket watch without any resistance while her pupils followed the movement of the swinging pocket, which then caused her to be unconsciously hypnotized. Her eyes became glassy, and her mind turned blank. At the same time, the gun that she had been firmly holding in her hands fell to the floor. Meanwhile, Anthony impassively continued to swing the pocket watch with one hand. "Look at it... If you feel tired, close your eyes and take a rest." His voice, which was full of magic, caused Lily to almost fall asleep with her eyes half closed. He quietly picked up the gun with his other hand, turned off the safety, and rem
As the car headed home, Connie hugged Luna in her arms while Hilda continued sobbing in silence. The injuries on her face had not fully recovered. She weakly leaned on Linux' shoulder and buried her face in his arms as he comforted her. As she was highly tense for the entire day, the current opportunity to relax for a split second immediately caused her to loosen up and fall asleep within seconds. Even after she fell asleep, there was a trace of tears at the corner of her eyes. His body stiffened as he was afraid that he would wake her up. Upon looking at Luna, who was dozing off in her arms, Connie wrapped her up tightly with the blanket, causing her to fall asleep almost instantly. Even while she was asleep, she still held onto her money and refused to let anyone take it. While looking at the sleeping mother and daughter, she felt blissful yet pressured, as if she owned the whole world, but had to bear the weight of it. Nevertheless, her daughter would eventually have to settle
Luna did not go to kindergarten today, instead, she woke up early in the morning to prepare for the move. She emptied her little husky bag and placed her hard earned money in it before entering the car. As it was a hasty decision to move, they still had not chosen the right place. Connie did not purchase any property in Taadi City and Hilda wanted to live in a comfortable place. In order to make her life easier, she suggested to move down town. The house was rather spacious, so Luna had a place to play and it was within a driving distance to the kindergarten and the company. Hilda owned a house down town, the former Adams Mansion now belonged to her. She had taken quite a liking to the garden there, so it was the right time to move. While holding her pair of alpacas and entering the car, she suddenly felt that someone was looking at her. After turning, she saw that it was Toby holding Snowball at the entrance of Nathan's Villa, looking at her wordlessly, as if he had something to
After Anthony entered the research center, he was completely stripped down. They confiscated his exquisite suit and gold plated glasses. In exchange, they gave him an attire that only a patient in hospital would wear. The flimsy outfit made him feel insecure, but his slender fingers looked clean and fair in contrast. After he took a sip of plain water, he continued to play chess with Old master Clemon. Halfway through their game, Old master Clemon suddenly sighed and said meaningfully, "You really look like your father." Without using any ruse, it was the conclusion that Old master Clemon arrived at when he saw Anthony. However, Anthony pretended that he did not hear the old master's words and continued with the game. Old master Clemon continued, "Your father is like you, he has patience, endurance, and foresight. With every step that he took, he could predict a hundred steps ahead. When I played chess with him, I never lasted more than seven moves." Anthony remained silent with
Hilda was woken up by a series of howls early in the morning. After she opened the windows, she saw a wolf howling at the sky near the river under the bridge. When the wolf howled, the two huskies that she reared also followed suit, causing the entire place to be surrounded by howls. Upon a closer look, she realized that it was Kater. As he stood on the stone bridge on the lake, he saw her opening the window opposite him and continuously howled at her, as if he was scolding her. After having a shower, Hilda asked the nanny to take care of Luna before leaving her room to head to the living area. At that moment, Rex was chatting with Connie in the living room. "Ms. Connie, I'm begging you. Lily seems to be better off dead than alive these last two days. Only Hilda can knock some sense into Hex now. Can I just borrow her for a while, just a while?" "Not even for a second!" With that, Connie stoically sent him away. Sherry opened the door of the living room before saying, "Rex, y
At the research center, Lily had committed suicide once again. Her wrist, which had stopped bleeding only moments ago, had been slit by her again. Blood in the color of a red flower oozed down her hand. Once she woke up, she could not face herself at all. As soon as she closed her eyes, she had flashbacks of her pushing Luna, who was crying loudly, to the balcony on the tenth floor without any railings. Lily saw herself aiming the gun at her fiancé. She could not find any peace in herself and she could barely wait to end her life. Nathan stayed at the research center, taking turns with Johnathan to keep an eye on Lily. They were worried that if they did not pay attention for a second, she would find an opportunity to kill herself. After all, she was an experienced assassin! After enduring all of the trouble until midnight, Lily finally fell asleep after being injected with tranquilizer. However, it was not something that could be given to her all the time because her body was una
Nathan merely looked at everything in the ward through the glass screen. Next to him were Johnathan and Rex, who looked worried. "He's not going to play any games, is he?" Rex asked. Nathan shook his head. "He won't. He cherishes his life a lot." Anthony had arrived for Hilda and Luna. So, he probably expected that such a day would arrive and already held onto his trump card, the confidential information he held... and the method to cure Lily. Apart from Hex himself, no one knew who his financial backer was. Normally, after he had completed the mission given, they would turn the gun in the other direction and wanted to catch him instead, making it ironic. When Anthony arrived, he knew that he would have to somehow reveal his trump card. Even so, he still acted as if he was high and mighty, thinking that it was the Clemon Family and Hilda who owed him. He planned to elaborate on the fact that he was the one who saved her. However, he never expected that Connie would break throug
Even after a few days, the military was still saddened by Briana's death. However, what happened to Lily in the subsequent days completely diverted their attention. After all, both Briana and Lily were the two most popular young women in the military. Briana used the platform that her parents had laid before her, which made her no different from a decoration. However, Lily had relied on her own abilities. Back then, in order to protect Lily, William had almost fought with Connie since she was more important to the military due to her position. As the matter slowly died down, weeds started to grow on Briana's grave. After Hilda was proven innocent, she worked from home. At that moment, a guest had arrived at the Aebasa Residence. "Anthony, I've told you this before, if you continue to pester my daughter, I'll turn you into minced meat!" As soon as Anthony had appeared at the entrance of the Aebasa Family, Connie tied him up in the house. Hilda heard the dogs barking loudly, so s
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
