After saying that, Hilda did not wait for Winnifred's response. She quickly picked up her bag and hurriedly rushed outside. It seemed as if Winnifred was determined to tie her fate to Sahara's. Still, it was to be expected. When it came down to it, she was Elizabeth's daughter. The Bowen Family belonged to Elizabeth now, so it was natural for her to help the Bowen Family. Hilda initially had no intention of confronting the Bowen Family, but they were taking things too far! Don't blame me for this! After Hilda left, Winnifred got up to leave too. When she walked to the door of the bar, someone was already there to pick her up. "You're here!" When she saw that person, she smiled as brightly as a shy, young maiden that had just fallen in love. Her gaze was tender, it was a tenderness no man had ever seen before... On the other hand, Sahara began expanding her business and the targeted market after receiving the money. She intended to compete against Hilda and persistently acted as H
Not too far away, those motorcycles were still following behind him. He was too afraid to stop the car because the four people on the motorcycles were clearly going to come for him, and he was unable to outrun them. Meanwhile, the flames were getting bigger. He had to get out of the car soon as it could explode at any moment. There were no other cars or people in the area. Whether he stopped the car or not, it was a dead end for him. He did not know who was trying to kill him, but he could not die! Inside his bag was an autograph from Nathan that his little angel at home had begged him for. He still had not given it to her yet. His wife and child were still waiting for him! I can't die! With that immense desire to live, he was unwilling to die just like that, but reality left him without a choice. There was a small river at the side of the road. Stepping on the gas pedal, he ran right through the railing and left his car dangling at the edge of the cliff. Once his car came to a s
At the Damien Group, when Sahara found out that Billy had failed to finish off Brian, she was so infuriated that she kicked him a couple of times. "All you do is create more problems! You couldn't even handle this small matter?" He cried, "I didn't think he would survive. Miss Damien, you have to help me. Winnifred is adamant about abandoning me. You're the only one I can count on now! Bourne can't go on without me!" He was grasping onto her leg as he sobbed. Sahara was furious. This moron can't even kill one person. How useless! Hilda was going to find out his whereabouts in no time. But, he was the chief designer at Bourne. They could not do without him! Sahara was pacing around the room anxiously with a gloomy expression on her face. "What did Winnifred say?" She asked suddenly. Billy ranted, "She wants me to turn myself in. Isn't that sending me to my death?" Telling me to turn myself in is just absurd! Once Billy was exposed, Bourne would be exposed too! When the time ca
The Smith Group wanted to establish themselves in Taadi. The local fashion brands in Taadi were unstable to start with and were on guard all the time. Now, word had gone out that the Smith Group tried to murder the chief designer of their competitor! At once, everyone in the fashion industry in Taadi City became nervous. Every big designer of local street wear kept looking over their shoulder for fear that they would be next. Terror seized both the fashion industry and the public. In front of a police station in Taadi City, Hilda, as the head of Pourl, accompanied Brian and Gli to give their statements. They were very cooperative with the investigation. But, Billy continued to deny that he hired those hitmen, and even brought a lawyer to reverse the verdict. He also pulled out his foreign citizenship and requested diplomatic immunity. At the same time, there was even less proof of Gli's accusation against the Bowen Family. The Bowens also had a capable team of lawyers which made h
These days, Luna had even been begging Nathan to bring back the water buffalo from the farm to raise at home. Sitting there, he felt the hairs stand on the back of his neck as he watched a rooster in diapers walk across his magnificent golden living room. Suddenly, Hilda cried out, "Oh no! Our pig is gone!" Nathan almost wanted to clap with joy, but he still put on a concerned face and asked, "How did it go missing? Did you forget to lock the door before leaving the place?" The pig was kept at the house that the Stephenson Family used to live in. They sent the pig there every morning and brought it back every night. Someone would go there to clean the place every day. No one was stationed there permanently, but the door was always kept locked. To their dismay, when they went to pick the pig up today, they found that the door had been pried open, and the pig was gone. Connie frowned. "How did it just disappear?" It was just wrong for someone to steal a pig in broad daylight! Hi
At the Bowen Residence in Smith City, Arlo was keeping a close eye and intended on provoking Hilda. But, it did not seem like he had to intervene anymore because she was already ready to tear his younger brothers to pieces to avenge their pig. After Arlo stole the pig, he still wanted to steal a chicken and mess with the dogs just to aggravate her further. To his surprise, the pig was enough to get her riled up. A series of actions had already taken place on her end. The Bowen Family's reputation in Taadi had been ruined. It seemed like that was Hilda's retaliation from being provoked. Without approval from the relevant department, however, who would dare to do such a thing? It showed that Taadi had already started to deal with the Bowen Family. But, of course, the people in charge did not have to do it themselves, they just had to pay someone behind closed doors to take action. Tarnishing the Bowen Family's name was the first step. It laid the foundation for a more precise follow
Plum Technology started the company developing online games, so it had long since begun to involve itself in the high tech electronics industry. It had also released a series of gaming computers and office computers, and owned a number of independent high tech intellectual property rights. The market response toward their electronic products was good. The Damien Family had a lot of shares in the company, and that was why those talented in this field, who had left Salem's company to join Connie, were arranged to work in Plum Technology. The Damien's, including Thomas, Lynn, and Bruce, were all working for Plum Technology. The company even paid a lot of staff from Salem's company to work for them, threatening Salem's status one step at a time. If the Damien Family was taken down, Plum Technology would act as a backup to support the high tech electronic industry of Taadi City. By then, the existence of the Damien's would be greatly threatened. But, it really didn't matter whether the
Since the last time Hilda was looked down on due to her educational background when she went to an interview for Luna's kindergarten, she realized that her bachelor's degree alone did not cut it. The parents at the kindergarten were all graduate students, and even all of Hilda's staff had at least a master's degree. So, she had spent the year studying and finally passed Taadi University's graduate entrance exams. "We're both majoring in financial management!" Knowing that she would become classmates with Nathan soon, Hilda felt extremely happy. But, Connie's frown deepened. Are the two of them trying to experience the youthfulness of university life that they had missed out on? They are entering their thirties and forties! What youth is it that they are still trying to experience? However, since this was still considered good news for Hilda, the family decided to celebrate it with some alcohol. The news of Hilda getting into graduate school soon spread abroad. Even Arlo had mad
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
