The Hex was the person who invented those mind wiping techniques that caused Hilda, Lily, and Adrian to lose their memories. After that, the video cut to two blond men who were bringing a thin man into the frame. On the screen, the subtitle read, 'Test Subject #19, male, age 20'. The man had his back against Connie. He had black hair and looked local. The moment the man turned around, she was able to see his face. It's him! It's Adrian! She felt as though she had just fallen into an ice cellar. All the hairs on her body were standing on their ends. It's my Adrian! It was exactly the same man in her memories, except he looked skinnier, the bones on his face were protruding, and the color on his face had turned ashen and he had bruises all over. From watching the video, she immediately knew what was happening, Hex was about to brainwash Adrian. He's going to lose his memories! At that point, Connie almost slammed her laptop shut. She could not get herself to watch that scene. S
"Connie? What are you doing here?" At the Bowen Residence, the whole family had heard the doorbell ring. Both Arlo and Milo came running out of their rooms when they heard that Connie had dropped by late at night. Arlo had bought the house next to the pigsty and was living there with Jerome and Milo. Their two younger brothers lived in another big house. The two struggled with each other as they went to take a look at the surveillance video where they saw a woman standing at their front door. Even though she was dressed in a long down coat that was in an awkward shade of blue, she still stood out and looked like a model. Beneath her hat was a cold and stoic face that showed no emotions. She even had a corgi in her arms. Arlo and Milo looked at each other. They had gone to look for Connie before, but they were always rejected without exception. Other than the last time at the Cannon Residence, it was impossible to meet her any other time. Even if it was Jerome, he could only dr
The family rented a pool, but they were separated according to their gender and seniority. As soon as the doors closed, they got to enjoy the hot spring comfortably. This is so warm! However, Hilda could not relax at the thought of Linux sharing the pool with Jerome. Now that Jerome can no longer remember mom, Linux, and me, what's the point of confessing to him? What happens if he uses Mom? He can even go against his own son. How will it be different with a woman he loved thirty years ago? Lily was sitting next to her as she played with the water. Looking at her, Hilda was jealous. How carefree! Recently, Johnathan only wanted to stay home and do nothing. Refusing to go to work, he stayed home with his kid and wife, passing his days leisurely. Sometimes, he even went out to pick up Luna from school. They finally went through all the hardships... On the other side, Sonnia started promoting her son, Ryan, again. "Lily, come on. Let's arrange a marriage for our kids. My son h
The weather was cold and snowy outside, but inside the spa resort, it was as warm as spring. Leading Bubbles, Luna was having fun by herself, but she was naturally followed by her bodyguards and her nanny. There was no way Hilda would allow her to wander around alone. She always made sure that there were people around to ensure Luna's safety. Bubbles led Luna to Arlo and Milo. After all, it had been living with them for a few days, and it could not forget the Royal Canin dog feed they fed it. When Luna saw Jerome, she was pleased and called out, "Mister Handsome!" Noticing Luna, Jerome clapped his hands and said, "Come here, Luna. Come to me." Luna ran to him happily, and Jerome held her in his arms. Luna was light and tiny, and she smelled good. It was extremely comfortable to hold her. Jerome carried Luna around the resort. Looking at Luna, who behaved herself very well, Milo was excited and wanted to hold her too. "Dad, quick. I want to hug her! I want to hug the lolita too!
After his departure, Anthony's uncontrollable tears continued to fall down his cheeks. He bit onto his blanket, trying hard not to cry out. He wanted to swallow all his pain and grievances. Everything he longed for, except for death, could no longer be obtained easily! He once longed for his father and the Clemon's to bring him home. He didn't want to kill people, he didn't want to live that kind of life. But, after his hands were stained with blood, there was no turning back. He knew he could never return to the Clemon Family again. He once hoped that Hilda could belong to him, but when he erased all her memories, there was still only Nathan in her heart. However, all he wished for right now, was that nothing of that had ever happened. He was destined to part ways with the Clemon's. He should have just remained a ruthless killer and not have anything to do with the Clemon's... Yet, time could not be turned back. Early the following morning, Luna led Bubbles to Jerome after she
Connie seemed to be very upset when she went back to her room. Taking the opportunity, Hilda scolded Luna. "Never help the Bowens to set your grandma up. Do you understand?" Luna pouted in response as if she was wronged by Hilda and replied with an 'oh'. Finally feeling relieved, Hilda went back to Nathan. Seeing that Hilda had finally left, and Connie was back in her room, Luna snuck out to play again. There had been many new visitors at Jerome's place and Luna did not like them. So, she went to Samuel's place instead. Giry had been visiting to enjoy the hot spring every now and then recently. Sitting beside the pool, Luna splashed his head with the spring water, her little feet kicked the surface of the water excitedly. "Mr. Psychic, when did Giry come?" When Luna arrived at Samuel's place, she did not only see him, but she also saw Giry. Giry was swimming in the pool, his inky black hair was as lively as an aquatic weed. Proudly, Samuel announced, "Giry came for his winte
"You're just an illegitimate child! A bastard! You'll only succeed in life when Dad acknowledges you. Do you hear me?" Sahara was like a repeater repeating those few words, reminding Bruce of his identity over and over again. "Connie and Salem are at odds, and you're Dad's illegitimate son. It's a matter of time before Connie gets rid of you!" cursed Sahara viciously. However, Bruce had not heard all those words. He was already enjoying the ice cream he bought from the convenience store. Illegitimate son? He had never forgotten that he was an illegitimate son, and he had never forgotten who his parents were. No one could choose their own birth. Yet, everyone could choose their own future. He used to surrender to his destiny as an illegitimate son who was invisible and who would be useless for the rest of his life. But, someone told him that there was nothing wrong with being an illegitimate son. He was not born with one limb less than others, and neither was he dumber than the ot
This tabloid news had caused an uproar. These news stories could only fool the outsiders, but they couldn't fool those who were close to them, If this was a trick to sow discord among them, wouldn't it be a little too lousy? Hilda didn't work in show business, so it seemed pointless to play up this kind of scandal. "Let's not take action first. We shall wait and see what they want to do." They must have some other tricks up their sleeves! Nathan didn't think the same, though. When they alleged that he was a transsexual, he could turn a blind eye, ignore them, and treat their allegations as nonsense. But now, they claimed that Hilda was having an affair with Bruce. This was simply an insult to his charm and masculinity! Moreover, these news stories even dared to gossip about Luna's looks. They must be banned! Half a day later, all the news stories vanished without a trace. Nathan had personally dealt with the offline media, and all the news stories published online were also del
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
