Nathan met Jerome with Hilda before meeting Zis Dgoldz. If Zis really had ties with the Bowens, he wouldn't have wanted his family to have marital ties with the Cannon's, as the Cannon's had killed quite a few members of the Bowens. While Nathan was in deep thought, Luna only had eyes for her bowl, as her bright eyes were fixated on it. Upon noticing that the guard seemed to have finished his assessment, she blurted, "Sir, can you give me back my royal sweetheart bowl?" Seemingly unperturbed by her request, the guard said, "Okay, I will give it back to you now that I've done my assessment. I won't be taking it, as it was made in a more recent era, so it lacks the archaeological value that I seek. It isn't the bowl but the making process of it that is being considered as valuable. Besides, the ones in the museum are far more valuable in terms of historical context, as all of them had passed through the hands of ancient royals." While handing the bowl back to Luna, he gave Nathan a r
Meanwhile, Nathan introduced both Hilda and Luna to Zis, as well as mentioning Connie in passing. Zis was Nathan's fan, while Connie was Zis' fan, which made for a somewhat odd trio. On the other hand, it was also Luna's first public appearance alongside her parents, so she also garnered quite some attention. "Luna, are you scared?" Nathan asked. Luna stood up straight while holding a firm gaze. "I'm not afraid!" With a gentle smile on his face, Nathan led her toward Zis while holding her hand. Meanwhile, there were quite a few acquaintances present for the occasion. Hilda spotted Winnifred Jones chatting amicably with the Bowen twins soon after she entered the venue. Why are the twins here though? Nathan was curious about it, as it indicated that the Bowen must've had some connections with Zis. Thus, he scanned his surroundings, but Jerome Bowen was nowhere to be seen. Although feeling relieved, he couldn't help but feel a little sorry when he turned around to look at Connie, hi
Linux turned to see Sahara, whom he hadn't met for some time, standing behind him. While she was in a gorgeous outfit, her attitude was somewhat aggressive. Gianna seemed to have known Sahara as she waved her hand at the latter with much zest. "Sahara, come over here!" She proceeded with introducing Sahara to Linux. "I came to know Sahara recently. She is the heir to the Damien Family, who are one of the most prominent families in Taadi City. She is also the swimming champion in the Universal Games, so you must've heard of her." Upon mentioning Sahara, Gianna seemed to feel delighted as if showing off a precious object of hers. It was as if knowing someone as prestigious as Sahara was the most natural thing for someone of her status, but Linux seemed to feel a little awkward about it. Meanwhile, she went on to introduce him to Sahara. "This is a friend I just met. His name is Hilden Adams." She figured that Sahara might know him, as anyone who received an invitation for the exhib
Meanwhile, Zis was scanning his surroundings in search of Gianna. He needed Gianna in order to secure Linux' hand, as he liked the man a lot. He managed to uncover a lot of information regarding Linux. Not only was he the brother in law of Nathan Clemon, who happened to be Zis' idol, but from the looks of him, Zis determined he was also a noble and compassionate man. If Gianna was too late to the game, someone else might snatch him away for good. Besides, judging from the delighted expression on both of their faces when they conversed, Zis surmised that there had to be something going on between them. However, Gianna was hiding from him in the meantime, which confused Sahara. Although Sahara tried to urge Gianna to expose Linux, Gianna refused. "Now isn't the time as I need to hide. I will have my father and uncle do it instead when they come over later. My grandfather is on cloud nine now, so he might prohibit me from reclaiming my surname in the future if I disobey him in public."
Looking at the man, there was a hint of disappointment in Connie's eyes. When she first saw him, she mistook him as someone else, only to realize he only bore resemblance to the man whom she was searching for when she took a closer look. Alas, he wasn't Jerome. Connie took the cat from Hilda before returning it to the man, which he received with both hands while nodding at her appreciatively. "Thank you, ma'am. This cat of mine really likes to run around. General, you ought not to do that anymore." On the other hand, Connie was utterly crestfallen, and her blue eyes no longer harbored any emotion. "It's a piece of cake, so don't sweat it." With that, she turned to leave, whereas Hilda followed suit after glancing at the man. Since General belonged to Jerome, Hilda wondered if the fact that the man claimed to own it, as well as his almost identical appearance to Jerome, meant that he was Jerome's brother. Rumors had it that, only twins could become heir to the Bowen Family, so the
Hilda, on the other hand, was mystified. What has Zis Dgoldz changing his last name got to do with me? And what's all that about the daughter in law of the Damien's? As long as Gianna Dgoldz isn't flirting with my brother or Rex, I don't care who she wants to seduce! Anyway, Sahara brought a lot of handsome young men from the Damien Family here today, so it seems that she's determined to win Gianna over. Speaking of that, she seems to be behaving these days, no longer doing anything dumb. Hilda had been collecting evidence of her crimes, and it was almost enough to have her convicted. Then, Hilda returned to the exhibition hall, only to be greeted by the sight of Nathan carrying Luna in his arms while talking to a few veterans in the art and literary industry. Connie wasn't back yet, but Hilda caught sight of Linux seriously studying paintings everywhere. Of course, he was a true connoisseur of art, not a dilettante. All of a sudden, something occurred to Hilda, and she excitedl
Johnathan was quite powerful, so he crossed his arms and said to those on the opposite side, "Well? Go on and make a move. Why aren't you fighting? It's Mr. Dgoldz's exhibition today, so we don't mind offending him. After all, we aren't the ones interested in becoming his live in son in law. If you all ruin his exhibition, however, you might be out of the running." Snickering, Bruce added, "And I don't recommend calling for security. After all, if people were to know that the high and mighty Young Lady Damien is pinned to the ground, it'll be a great humiliation. At that time, Miss Dgoldz will disdain you guys!" The Damien's on the other side looked at each other. On second thought, they have numbers on their side, so it'll be an embarrassment to fight, not to mention that we might not win. Johnathan alone can defeat us, so it'll be mortifying if we were to be pinned to the ground later. Hence, they closed ranks and blocked other people's inquisitive gazes. After all, it was better
Out of the blue, the woman seemed to have sensed that someone was watching her furtively. All at once, her sorrowful gaze turned forbidding and domineering. "Who's there?" She demanded frigidly. Gianna jumped in fright. When the woman's gaze shifted to her, she felt her breath catching in that instance. The woman's powerful aura and shockingly pretty countenance stole her every breath, depriving her brain of oxygen that she couldn't think for a moment, merely staring at her blankly. For the first time, her usually eloquent self was rendered speechless. The woman nonchalantly glanced at her. Upon seeing that she was a young girl, she didn't take offense to her and whirled around to leave. Gianna, on the other hand, was gripped by shock. She'd never seen such a unique woman, pretty, mysterious, and powerful. The moment the woman disappeared from sight, the powerful aura vanished as well. As a breath of fresh air entered her nostrils, she finally snapped back to her senses, only to
