Hilda was also shocked. From Juliana's words, she could hear her desolation and helplessness. She didn't know how Juliana and Alban got together and got married. Juliana was about thirty five years old this year. For a successful movie star, this was still her golden age. She was also at the pinnacle of her career, so it was a bit weird that she would suddenly get married. Was she after Alban's power and influence? But Juliana was not that sort of person at all. As an Oscar winner, although she had a dark history, she was born in an orphanage and had reached where she was today through hard work. From a local drama heroine to an Oscar winner, everyone had seen the efforts she put in. She had always been low key and had little to no scandals to her name. There were few people who would besmirch her, and she was very popular abroad and had outstanding box office performances for her movies. Many foreign blockbuster movies wanted her to play the female lead, while many domestic famo
The award ceremony had not yet begun. The red carpet was rolled out, and the most important media in Taadi were all there. Guests walked down the red carpet one by one, and photographers worked hard to take pictures on both sides of the carpet. The sound of shutters and the flash of cameras worked in perfect harmony, capturing the best instances of every artist. Solomon appeared alone. With a masculine and sharp facial features. He had a cold yet mature air to him. In 'Where Are We Going, Dad?', he had successfully created a 'serious and responsible, yet in over his head as a new father' warm character, which had garnered countless fans. In addition to guests from the entertainment industry, today's ceremony also included guests from the fashion industry and other industries. Those who could get invitations were all extraordinary people. Sahara and Lynn appeared together as celebrities from the fashion industry. Soon, fake Lucile and Ella also appeared together, and they both atte
On the other side, Juliana was still looking at her phone in a daze, completely unaware of what was going on. Then, she heard a clear male voice from above her. "Miss Hawkins, what are you doing sitting here by yourself?" Juliana raised her head from her phone and saw the face of Alban, her husband who she had been married to in a shotgun wedding. Although it was a hidden marriage and their relationship had not made any substantial progress, Juliana's heart still warmed that someone would take the initiative to talk to her at this time. She smiled, "I came early. What are you doing here?" She had thought that Alban wouldn't come. When they got married, Alban originally wanted to throw a grand wedding, but Juliana refused. She didn't want to embarrass Alban with her identity and past. She thought that he would avoid this type of occasion and she didn't expect him to come, let alone take the initiative to talk to her. She stood up, raised her chin slightly, and looked at Alban, wh
Nathan and Hilda, as well as Kyle and Sonnia, came in one after the other. With one glance, Sonnia already figured out that her seat had been switched. Sahara was sitting smugly in the first row, looking at ease and having no intention to give up the seats even though they had arrived. "You've gone too far! This isn't where all of you should be seated!" Sonnia immediately wanted to get her seat back immediately. She stride toward Sahara, pointed at the seat and said, "Get out of that seat!" When she lost her temper, even Kyle couldn't control her. Sahara was holding a makeup kit and touching up her makeup. She didn't even give Sonnia a look. "Why are you asking me to get up? Is this seat yours?" Sonnia spoke aggressively, "These seats were reserved for Nathan and Kyle. What right do you guys have to sit in them? Get up!" Sahara didn't move and just lazily closed her makeup kit. "But according to the seating schedule, these are our seats" She said smugly. "And your seats... are
Sahara sat in the second row, looking bitterly at Hilda and Nathan in the front row. So what if they sat in the first row? Today, she would let Hilda know who was the boss in Taadi! Because this was a very important occasion, Hilda and Nathan, who were usually all lovey dovey at home, did a rare thing and behaved themselves. They sat properly and in a dignified manner, and they occasionally conversed softly with the people sitting next to them. Nathan was having a great conversation with a bunch of seniors. Hilda didn't know when, but Rex had already sat behind her. "Do you want some melon seeds, Hilda?" "Would you like to drink some juice, Commander?" "I have biscuits and drink here." As Rex spoke while munching on some melon seeds, the award ceremony finally began. The first act was a lively dance. The host's remarks were witty and he was very cool, which drove the atmosphere of the audience to a fever pitch. The singing and dancing were also very exciting, and the guest per
Nathan had to give a speech after collecting his award. He stood on the podium for a while and glanced at Hilda before he smiled and picked the mic up. "Up until today, my greatest achievement in life isn't just receiving the award." The audience fell silent as they hadn't expected his first sentence to start off so straightforwardly. The cameras captured Nathan's handsome features as he glanced down the stage over to someone seated in the first row. The crowd saw how calm he appeared to be as the camera footage was projected onto the huge screens, he seemed even calmer than when he had received his tiny award earlier. "Up until today, my greatest achievement is... the fact that I have a perfect family. Getting married to my wife and having a daughter with her has been the greatest honor of my life." The cameramen were alert in doing their jobs, they initially focused the shots on Nathan, but they then shifted it to Hilda's face once he mentioned his wife. Hilda's face appeared on
The Jordan phones were all military grade, so its quality was guaranteed. Anyone who managed to become the agent for this... would become really rich! Plum Technology, on the other hand, had gotten themselves involved in a variety of markets throughout the years. Rex didn't want his company to be limited within a certain domain, so apart from the basic online applications and games, they also produced mobile games with other digital companies. They even acted as the agent for gaming computers. Right then, all four of them fell silent for a moment before Rex rolled his sleeves up and slammed the table. "Damn!" Both Sonnia and Thomas agreed that it'd be a waste if they didn't take the job. After all, they had similar experiences that were completed with success, and Hilda had her connections, it wouldn't be hard for her to secure their role as the main agency. Everyone returned to work the next day, and the company was busy preparing the materials needed for them to secure this agr
"I'm sure you also know, Master Fleming, that I'm not about to give my competitor a chance to defeat me." Teresa went straight to her point. This was a huge financial opportunity for anyone who would succeed in becoming the sole agent. Why would Teresa hand it over to someone who was her potential enemy? She'd make a fool out of herself if she accidentally nurtured someone who would later turn into a strong competitor of hers. "Furthermore, there're more than 10 teams who are competing for this. There are loads of other teams who are stronger than her, so why would I pick her?" Samuel was left speechless after what Teresa said. He realized how his methods of tricking and convincing Connie would never work with Teresa. The last time he tried his methods of deception on Teresa, she ended up with her virginity lost and her heart broken. She woke up that morning to find that the other side of the bed had gone cold, that the man who had pledged his love and loyalty for her the night bef
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
