In the study, the imposter gritted his teeth and tried to get up, even though he was soaked in blood. Connie will never kill me because I know a secret she's dying to find out! Seeing this, Hilda strode forward and gave him a forceful slap. With red finger marks on his face, the imposter glared at Hilda, who then landed another slap on his face. "These two slaps are for my daughter. After this, you shall go to hell!" Hilda growled. Since his identity had been exposed, the imposter, whose face was identical to Adrian, put on a hideous expression and spat out some blood. Leaning against the desk, he raised his chin in a haughty manner. "Does your mom really want to kill me? Haha. I know a secret she's desperate to find out. I want her to kneel before me and beg me to tell her about this!" Now that his blood was still streaming out from the wounds caused by gunshots, his voice had weakened. After Connie shot him a few times with her pistol, she directly turned to leave because ther
Seeing that the man was dead, the housekeeping robot started spraying some liquid on his body. A moment later, the body decomposed into a puddle of blood. Following that, the robot started cleaning up the floor. He left this world, as though he had never existed in this world before. On the other side, Hilda's mind was a mess. Although she had figured out everything she needed to know, she felt that the more she learned, the more she was terrified of what was ahead of her. Will Connie kill Linux and me without hesitation if her love with Adrian was fake? Would she not want anything to do with us if she finds out Adrian never loved her? At the thought of this possibility, she was gripped by fear. After Hilda left the study, she gazed out the window at the lovely weather, but she felt cold all over her body. I'm redundant... Connie won't love me anymore. The more she tried not to think about this, the more she was troubled by this thought. At the moment, her mind was restless. J
Hilda was traumatized by the fact that her mother had told her to go away. For that instant, she recalled what the imposter said before her death. With her head spinning and buzzing, Hilda slumped into Nathan's embrace. When she awakened once again, she realized that she was in a hospital. Her head was wounded from the crash on the desk. The X ray results showed that she suffered from a mild concussion, so the doctor advised that she should be hospitalized for two days. Inside the ward, she curled up on the bed and spaced out. Her eyes had lost their luster, looking all hollow. She was still sorrowful that her mother had told her to go away. Now, she recalled that time after she regained consciousness in Africa, Connie found her and started doting on her. At that time, she felt that she was the happiest person on earth. But... Curled up under the quilt, she said in a weakened voice, "Hubby, I feel cold." Nathan had been staying with her to keep her company. At the moment, he was
Standing by the window, Connie gazed out at the fallen leaves and withered flowers, her eyes brimming with melancholy. She remained the ruthless Connie Jordan, as though she wasn't the one who got drunk and threw a tantrum on the previous day. A long while later, she asked, "Hilda... Is she alright?" Nathan replied mockingly, "Oh, she's fine. Thanks to you, she's only suffered a mild concussion." In the past, Connie would fight back even if she was in the wrong, but on this day, she only mumbled, "I'm relieved that she's fine.." She sounded so pitiful, like she had realized that she was nothing but a mother who had failed her daughter. At that instant, her expression appeared to be desolate, which aroused Nathan's sympathy. Before this, he had thought about how to give Connie a piece of his mind, but for that moment, he couldn't utter any of that. Gazing at the view outside the window, the two of them remained silent, so the atmosphere was rather awkward. After giving it a thoug
Hilda had moved to the Imperial to live with Nathan, but she still went back to her family occasionally to check in with Connie. On the other hand, Connie also occasionally walked her dog over half of Taadi City just to visit her. Seeing how her mother spent most of her time with animals, Hilda felt that she should begin to look around for a suitable candidate to take the role of her stepfather. I think it wouldn't do for mom to continue living like this and spend the rest of her life with a bunch of black dogs! However, Nathan felt that his young looking mother in law's current situation couldn't be better. It would be even more perfect if Connie could bring a flask of water to the park every morning and then join the older ladies in their dance aerobics classes in tight fitting workout pants at night. In that way, she would no longer be able to pay much attention to Nathan's family of three, and Nathan would be able to concentrate on asking Hilda for a second child. It was Sept
After standing there in a daze for two seconds, her attitude suddenly changed, and she hurriedly said to Hilda, "I knew it. Nathan is definitely not that kind of person! We really made a blunder, didn't we? Ah... Uh... I'm not feeling well, so I'll go back first." With that, she took her own men and hurried away, leaving Hilda to face the people in this room alone. Hilda looked at Nathan with embarrassment. Should I smile or pretend to get mad at him? Wait! I think I should decide if I stay or leave now. Oh Lord! Nathan looked at the two people who had suddenly appeared. As he stared at Sonnia, who had left because she suddenly wasn't feeling well, he was startled for a second before seemingly understanding what was going on. Finally, he couldn't help but lower his head and smile to himself. He beckoned to Hilda. "Come here, pumpkin. What are you standing there for?" Hilda went over to him hesitatingly, blushing with embarrassment. In order to 'catch him red handed' more easil
On the same day, Linux stood outside the military compound, looking at the main entrance that was heavily guarded. He stopped in his tracks without going forward any further. "Linux, why aren't you moving?" Today, Connie had officially brought her son, Linux to visit the two old master, Mark and old master Clemon. However, Linux stood outside the military compound without entering. So, Connie had hurriedly asked him why. "Mom, you go in. I'll wait for you in the car." With that, Linux turned around and got back into the car. Connie knew why her son didn't want to go in. She sighed and said, "Then you wait for me in the car for a while. If you can't wait, go to your sister's house first." She had planned to bring Linux to see old master Clemon, then go to Hilda's place to have dinner and spend the night before returning down town tomorrow morning. After all, she hadn't seen her little sweetheart for about three or four days now, and she really missed her! Since Linux didn't want
Nathan had known Zis for decades, and he was not the kind of person who interacted with the likes of the Bowen Family. Although Zis lived abroad, he was generally warm hearted and scholarly. Therefore, he would certainly despise the very existence of the Bowen Family. Nathan looked at that harp with a complicated expression. He had a feeling that this harp must have something to do with the Bowen Family. The Bowen Family is really everywhere! Meanwhile, Hilda was still listening to the ancient Imperial Palace's night guards as they spoke of the history of Phoenix Harp. "The harp is a musical instrument of Taadi, but most were lost later. The harp we speak of in the modern days is actually the lyre that came in from abroad, a Western musical instrument. Never had I expected that I'd have the opportunity to see the Phoenix Harp with my own eyes in this lifetime! It's truly stunning!" "Look! The craftsmanship of this Phoenix Harp is perfect! It's simply flawless! No matter the materi
