Surrounded by the crowd, Hilda held her cell phone in one hand while holding a wine glass in the other. Taking a sip of the wine, she held the cell phone that had attracted everyone's attention between her manicured fingers with a ghost of a smile on her face. One couldn't tell the expression on Teresa's face, for she looked as calm as she used to be. On the contrary, Sahara had gotten all worked up, she even started denouncing Hilda on Teresa's behalf as if she had become Teresa herself. "Hilda, you and your husband are well known public figures in Taadi, countless people would imitate your every move. By blatantly using such knock offs, do you know how badly you and your husband would affect Jordan Phone's reputation and intellectual property? What is intellectual property to you? By doing so, both you and your husband are advocating for piracy. People like you are the sc*m of the Damien Family! Why would Miss Teresa consider you as Jordan Phone's agent in Taadi? Besides, you must
In the eyes of any layman, this was an entertaining drama between two big shots. A has been who was past his prime put up a last ditch struggle after being too confident, but he didn't expect to lose face when he lost the fight against his junior in the industry over an endorsement deal. However, those familiar with business knew that this was actually a plot hatched up by somebody so that they could rise to fame by riding on Nathan's popularity and even slandering him. The identity of the person behind the plot was obvious, whoever benefited from this had to be the mastermind behind the plot. "Ah, so this is Jordan Phone 7! I must've been blind earlier on. This looks so much better than Solomon's low end version!" "How could the low end version be compared with the high end one? They are totally different in terms of concept, the low end version is significantly cheaper than the high end one. There are big differences between the two models, and there are big differences between
When she and Lynn called home, they learned that Lucile and Ella had gone out shopping that morning and hadn't returned yet. Sahara immediately sent her people to search for them, but after a day of looking around, the Damien Family's men went to the place where Ella and Lucile used to stay and realized that the house had already been emptied. When they arrived at Ella's house, they learned that Ella's family had moved out a year ago. At that moment, the Damien Family realized that something was wrong. Lucile and Ella had disappeared into thin air, and the property under their names had been converted into cash and transferred a long time ago! They left without leaving any clues behind, no one knew where they had gone, nor could anyone get in touch with them. The luxury goods they left in the Damien Residence had been spirited away. That night, word finally came that Lucile and Ella had left the country by plane. At this moment, Sahara and Lynn seemed to have guessed something.
Sahara was burning with anxiety right now. Knowing that she had fallen into a scam and offended Teresa, she knew that she had to make up for this. D*mn it! I was scammed out of so much money by a con artist! In the Jordan Group's office building, Thomas, Bruce, and Rex laughed and joked as they commented on how embarrassed Lynn looked just now while going up to the 18th floor to see Linux. Plum Technology and Jordan Group were joining hands to launch a cutting edge gaming laptop, and the two companies were now discussing the contract. On the 18th floor, Hilda was extremely pleased as she recalled how Lynn had left tearfully in deep dejection just now. Lynn had truly never suffered such a devastating setback. For a person like him, a major setback could cost him his life. Feeling happy, Hilda became mischievous all of a sudden. She raised her hand and turned toward Linux before saying, "Come on, Linux, let's give each other a high five!" She wouldn't have reduced Lynn to tears o
Feeling very nervous on this day, Sonnia kept thinking quietly about what she was going to say in a while, so she didn't pay much attention to the people in the elevator. Unexpectedly, right after she entered the elevator and steadied herself, a loud slap landed on her butt from behind. Then, a wicked voice spoke in her ear. "Hey, isn't this person my dear little kitten?" Sonnia's expression changed drastically when she saw the frosty looking person dressed in a business suit who was standing next to her. She was so furious that she jumped. "I'm warning you, Dona, stop getting physical with me!" She was short, and both her voice and face had the cuteness of a young girl that existed only in anime's. Therefore, she didn't sound commanding at all when she spoke. The person dressed in a suit who was standing next to Sonnia took off her sunglasses elegantly with a flirtatious look in her attractive eyes. As she whistled at Sonnia, she said, "Get physical? Am I getting physical by doin
The corners of Enoch's mouth spasmed as he looked at the stack of nude photos Hilda had pulled out. Indeed, they were his nudes all sorts of poses and expressions were revealed in these photos. If his guess was right, Lucile had taken those photos several nights before no, the fake Lucile was the one who took them. Things began to make sense, he hadn't been able to successfully pursue the gorgeous woman, but she suddenly agreed to have dinner with him that day. In fact, she deliberately had some wine too. Once they were done with dinner, Lucile was clearly drunk since she had a low tolerance for alcohol. Of course, he did not send her back to the Damien's like a gentleman, he booked a room at the hotel and carried her there instead. Entering the hotel room as a man and a woman, anyone could guess what came after that. Furthermore, Lucile had been absolutely certain that he would be the one to win the management rights, assuring him that he would get it. Much to his surprise, she
Meanwhile, Hilda followed Linux home. The moment she opened the door to the house, her darling Luna flew over like a butterfly. "Mama!" Hilda caught Luna as she pounced on her and spun around happily. She lifted Luna high in the air. "Oh, Mommy's sweet little baby!" They had only been apart for ten days, but Hilda thought that her baby had grown a bit more during that time, the girl was also getting cuter by the day. The house was bursting with merriment today. Sonnia and her husband had brought Ryan over, even Johnathan and Lily were present. Of course, Rex and Thomas were sure to be here too. Nathan had been treating Hilda's place like his own home recently, completely falling into the role of a house husband. He had brazenly moved his luggage into Hilda's bedroom, and he even set up another aquarium next to Connie's tortoise tank for his eels. He wasn't acting like a guest at all. Now that Connie was back, Nathan killed two eels for dinner. When Connie saw the plate of eggpl
Winnifred was a woman among women. She had no weaknesses and was a highly capable woman. If Hilda allowed her to be her competitor, it would be difficult to win against her to say the least. A few days later at the Jordan Group, dozens of teams competing for the management rights showed up. Everyone inside the building was tense, knowing that Teresa would announce the final decision later today. With all these agents gathered at the Jordan Group's Taadi headquarters today, the media had shown up in droves as well. It was the first time the Jordan Group's phones entered the Taadi market. Other than their flagship Jordan phone model, their budget range of Jordan phone cell phones would also be making their debut in Taadi. News of Jordan phone's first budget range stirred up a wave of mad excitement across Taadi. The average person might never get the chance to touch a Jordan phone, it was to the point where many people had never actually heard of this brand before. However, this br
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
