Andrew was very respectful to this new lady who suddenly appeared and said, "Give me a moment, I'll go and look for my pay slip. The time is printed on it, and I've kept it all these years. That was my first pay slip, so it was a very monumental moment for me!" He rummaged through his closet as he added, "Huh, it's such a coincidence. Back then, I was only 19 years old when I went to the city and begged my aunt to help me out. She found me a job driving school buses. The school had withheld my salary for three months! I only received a salary of more than a hundred in the third month, but that was my first ever paycheck! Hence, I saved it!" Then, he took out an iron box and found a yellowed pay slip on the bottom. Connie carefully took the pay slip, the machine printed pay slip was very short, and it was dated a day after Hilda was born! The day Andrew received his salary was the day his aunt came back from her hometown, she was getting an reimbursement from the finance office for
First of all, the candidate could not possess any criminal background, murder, arson, fraud, drug abuse, and crawling through a dog door were not allowed. Clearly, these rules were directed toward Nathan, it seemed like that particular incident would haunt him for the rest of his life. The candidates were required to have a master's degree at the very least, and they had to be under 35 years old... nothing was in his favor! He even had to take his wife's family name! If anyone fulfilled all the conditions above, they could prepare a thorough resume with their photos attached and send it to the front desk of Frimpong International Energy and Technology. His mother in law was causing problems in the dark, and Nathan viciously read the information over and over again. As Nathan suddenly caught sight of Fly, Connie's favorite cat walking past him with its tail wagging, he placed his wet feet on Fly and gave it a thorough rub. The cat was one of Connie's favorites as she would kiss it a
Hilda had gotten off work early today. As she left the company, she ran over to Nathan's car happily and tugged his arm. "Jordan phones hit 8 million sales today, hubby. Aren't I amazing?!" Nathan kissed her and said, "Yeah, my wife is super amazing!" Then, he drove them back to the Aebasa Residence. Connie was already home when they got back, and Hilda rushed over excitedly as she said, "We hit 8 million sales today, Mom. Aren't I amazing?!" Connie nodded. "That's amazing! My daughter is amazing!" At the same time, Luna ran out of the house and hugged Nathan's leg. "Daddy, I got a little red flower in kindergarten today. Aren't I amazing?!" Nathan also nodded his head and answered, "That's amazing. My daughter is amazing!" Glancing at Connie, he saw that the latter was looking his way with an innocent and sincere look, it seemed like she was not guilty of anything at all. Hey, doesn't this old mother in law's conscience hurt? No, she has no conscience. Later that night, t
In Taadi City, there were only a few people who dared to compare themselves as equals to Connie, Nathan had only seen one before. Anthony said, "A few years back, she was the one who secretly helped me to capture Hilda. She wanted me to stall and crush you, she even guessed that you'd ask Linux for help. Hence, she sent a traitor in advance to stir trouble in the Jordan Family and diverted Linux' attention away from you. During the time of Hilda's incident, you couldn't contact Linux because he was being held back by the family, he couldn't even take care of himself." If that person was really just as Anthony had described, her current strength was definitely not weaker than Connie. In fact, she even hid herself better than Connie. That person was also Connie's old rival. Back when Connie was in trouble, they suspected that she and Salem had teamed up and planned it behind the scenes, but there was just no evidence. Anthony continued, "Also, that person once asked me to kidnap
As Nathan dragged Anthony away, he wrapped his arm around his brother affectionately as Hilda watched in amazement. How did these two get together? Not only that, Nathan even brought Anthony back with him! It couldn't have been Nathan's idea. Although this was the Aebasa Residence, Connie was still the one in charge, Nathan would cause a little trouble behind Connie's back from time to time, but whenever he saw Connie, it was like a mouse catching sight of the cat. Even though this 'mouse' was quite thick skinned, he still listened to Connie's instructions nonetheless. Could it have been Connie's idea? Didn't Connie swear that she would chop Anthony into meat and stuff him into an eggplant? She quickly put on her clothes and followed them into the house, curious to know what they were going to do. Connie did not want Hilda to get involved in this matter, but she couldn't keep Hilda sheltered forever, Hilda would have to deal with this sooner or later, so she let Hilda into the
When the meeting was over, Nathan sent his men to look for Sonnia, even Linux helped out as well. Before Nathan dashed out, he said to Hilda, "You and Sonnia are close, if she contacts you, let me know immediately." Hilda nodded. Feeling anxious, she waited for Sonnia's call at home. Her belly is already getting bigger, where could she have possibly gone to? Hilda paced nervously around the house while she called and texted Sonnia, but there was no reply. She then called up Thomas, who used to be neighbors with the Akuffo Family back when he lived with the Damien Family. Since he had known Sonnia for more than a decade, perhaps he knew where she could've gone. Likewise, Thomas and Rex were also looking for Sonnia frantically. Thomas replied, "Whenever Sonnia was aggrieved by her stepmother, she would come to me. We'd play together, and she might've gone to one of those places we went during our childhood. I'll head over there and look for her first. Don't panic, Hilda. It's g
The dark night felt endlessly long, and the gloomy, rundown building seemed never ending as they walked past bend after bend. Suddenly, a loud piercing sound rang through the air as Hilda smelled something pungent, she turned back and realized that the whole place was covered with thick, black smoke. Along with the night breeze, it had completely enveloped the group in it. "Protect the mis.." It was already too late by the time Hilda realized that something was amiss. Her body fell limp to the ground with a loud thud as her brain scrambled from the shock of the fall, she saw stars dancing in front of her eyes while her whole body plunged in chaos. However, she refused to pass out as she struggled to open her eyes. She watched as the others fell to the ground, just like her, they became weak and had no strength to move. Then, a pair of black sneakers appeared from the mist with silent yet heavy steps. The owner of those shoes had a very clear target, Hilda! Struggling to lift h
Nathan's cell phone rang all of a sudden, and it turned out to be a call from Anthony. He went straight to the point and said, "The mission I received before was to find Hilda and kill her on the spot, Plague should have received the same task as I did. However, it seems like he has other plans since he took her instead. Wait for his message, he'll definitely send you one anytime soon." Nathan's expression turned grim after he hung up the phone. Plague definitely had other plans, Lily. Shortly after that, Nathan arrived at the busy hospital. Even though it was already late at night, the hospital was filled with people as nurses bustled around the wards. Kyle Michel had an accident. The news spread like wildfire all over Taadi City and shook the city to its core. The best surgeon in the city had also been called in to work overtime. Since Sonnia had lost a lot of blood, it was likely that she and her child would not be able to survive. Meanwhile, Kyle's whole body was fractured,
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
