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
After dinner, Hilda fed the cats. The guards from the ancient Imperial Palace deliberately timed their trip, only coming over leisurely to collect their cat when she'd probably fed it. This time, they also brought her harp back. At the sight of her harp, Hilda grew so enraged that she was gripped by the urge to smash something. When they took it away, they treated it with great reverence, having six or seven people moving it into a sedan with gloves as though sending off a bride who was getting married, the only exception being the setting off of firecrackers. It's only been two days, yet they're now sending it back on a cat stroller without any sedan or even gloves! "There's this family known as the Bowen Family. Are you familiar with the Bowen Family? It's the former royal family. This time, they donated quite a number of cultural artifacts to the ancient Imperial Palace, including three Phoenix Harps. So, we are returning this harp of yours!" A guard from the ancient Imperial Pa
Today, Zis brought the entire family along to meet the two Old masters, and they seemed to be affectionate toward each other throughout their conversation. Neither the Dgoldz's nor the Bowens associated themselves with the Cannon's prior to that, whereas the only link between them was the prospect of Gianna and Rex's marriage, so that had to be the reason for meeting up. That won't happen! I only have eyes for Connie! I'll definitely find a way to prevent the marriage from happening! However, Gianna was stunned upon turning the corner, she saw the woman of her dreams hurrying in her direction alongside Nathan. The sight of Connie made her burst with joy as she walked up to her shamelessly, all the while trying to conceal her elation by asking, "It's such a coincidence to meet you here, Mr. Clemon, Ms. Frimpong!" Upon noticing that Connie was looking her way, Gianna's heart drummed as she wore a coy look on her face. The sight of Gianna acting so shyly upon her sudden appearance
Back then, Nathan had lived in the military house for the past years when he was in the army. After his departure, the room was left empty, so Hilda would occasionally stay over with Luna later on. As soon as she got into Nathan's room, Hilda flared up. "Gianna Dgoldz is way out of line!" Nathan quickly soothed her temper. "Alright, it's all over now. As long as I am with you, I will never allow Gianna to look down on you." Hilda was disgruntled at the mere thought of how Gianna was looking at her mother so she badmouthed Gianna to Connie. "Mom, you should be wary of Gianna! She derided Linux as a 'trophy husband' that day!" However, Connie merely kept her silence while glancing out of the window, only to see a man in an exquisite suit and a quaint looking umbrella walking through the entrance. With the security showing her the way, she was walking toward Old master Cannon's house. Connie was looking out of the window from the second floor, so all she could see was half of his f
The Bowens were so powerful back then that no place was safe from them except for Taadi. They couldn't do anything while in Taadi, as the country itself was intolerant of their presence. "So, I smuggled both my sons, namely Jerome and Arnold, back into Taadi in hopes of surviving the ordeal, only to lose Jerome in the process." Zis teared up at the mention of that particular section, but he quickly changed the topic while looking at Nathan. "However, the Bowens weren't about to dawdle while waiting for me to find Jerome. I was without money nor connections, whereas Arnold was ill, but luckily for us, I was still able to secure my friend's assistance." Zis was full of gratitude when he mentioned his friend. "She brought me home. She treated Arnold, as well as provided us with the necessary protection. We spent five years under her protection before returning to our own country." Staring at Nathan, Zis went on to say, "The friend who offered us her protection was none other than you
