At Birchwood Heights. Yuna was eventually brought to the place by Yvan. Although she had stayed there for two years, things were no longer how they used to be, despite everything else looking the same. Besides, the situationship she was sharing with Yvan now made her uncomfortable. "When can I leave?" Yuna asked. Yvan glanced at her. "Rushing back to have drinks with them, aren't you?" "No one knows our relationship now," she stated coldly. "Whatever I do now won't affect your reputation. Don't you find it ridiculous to control me like this?" Yvan lit a cigarette and replied, "Just be obedient when you're with me." He glanced at her as she spoke. Being all high and mighty, his face remained ice cold. "You can choose to go. But I can't guarantee that news about our relationship won't leak out." "You!" Yvan snickered, grinning widely in satisfaction. He hit Yuna's weak spot effortlessly. "Try me." She couldn't bother to fight him anymore. "I want my laptop." Yvan made
Yvan slammed his cup down. He said with an icy expression, "I can make you incapable of taking a single step outside the house today. Do you believe me?" Yuna met his gaze. His eyes were warning her that he was not joking at all. She clenched her teeth, wishing she could be anywhere but there. Eventually, she sat down for breakfast, and only then did Yvan take his eyes off her, satisfied. Just like he promised, Yvan personally dropped Yuna off at the research center. The news of her stepping out of Yvan's car spread throughout the research center. However, Yvan headed to Mayson's office while Yuna went straight to the research room. They seemed to not have any more interactions after getting out of the car. While Yuna was changing, Rose entered the room, her face filled with guilt. She was hesitant to say anything. Yuna glanced at her and said, "If you have something to say, just tell me. Or else you won't have the chance to do it anymore once we're out of here." "Ms. Feron,
Sherry held Yuna's face. "This must've been so hard for you. You're always busy from morning till night. Although you had someone to look after Natalie and Nathaniel when you were out of the country last time, you worked hard to take care of them too. I can't imagine how you managed to survive those seven years." Her words warmed up Yuna's heart. "Thankfully, my two kids have never made me worry about them ever since they were born. My work was easier with everyone looking after them too. That was all in the past. Let's not dwell on it." Although she said that, Sherry still believed that Yuna was describing those years on a surface level. She was still worried about one particular thing. "Yuna, if Yvan still finds out about Natalie and Nathaniel, what do you plan to do?" "He doesn't deserve to be their father. So no use even if he does find out about it. Natalie and Nathaniel have foreign nationalities. No matter how much he can do, he won't be able to do anything outside this co
Nathaniel easily transferred 800 thousand dollars from Yvan's company, and escaped without leaving a trace.Sitting beside him, Natalie watched him with a serious look. When she saw the 800 thousand dollars transferred into their account, she asked curiously, "Nathaniel, we've stolen quite a lot of his money, haven't we? Would he go bankrupt after this?" "He has a net worth of billions and trillions of dollars. Do you think this bit of money would matter much to him? Plus, this money should be considered as alimony and compensation, shouldn't it?" Hearing that, Natalie couldn't agree more. She said, "Then you should get more money from the company next time, Nathaniel. He has too much money anyway." Outside the house, Yuna had absolutely no idea what her dear son did. She didn't even know what was happening to Yvan after being played so hard by her son again and again. …The next two days were peaceful for Yuna. She dedicated all her time and attention to her work. It lasted
When Yuna heard that from her father, her face remained cold and impassive. She was calm and composed. It was because she wasn't surprised at all hearing something like that from Herbert. Of course Herbert would try to use her to his advantage now that he found out about her true status. So, it wasn't news to Yuna. There was nothing but greed in Herbert's eyes when he said those words. He tried to place his arm on Yuna's shoulder like a loving father, but Yuna avoided it with a straight face. At that moment, Herbert felt awkward. But he could only put on a smile and speak so that he could get what he wanted. "Yuna, we're father and daughter, should we really dwell on the past? I'll apologize for what happened. I'm really sorry. So, can you forgive me? I misunderstood you back then. Now that you have a job here, I won't pressure you to work for our company. I'll even send you money every week." Hearing that, Yuna smiled in disdain. She turned to sit on a chair. "If you have some
After receiving a call from his mother, Yvan arrived at a private dining room in the restaurant as promised. But when he pushed the door open, the sight of Daisy chatting happily with his mother met his eyes. Diana was all smiles when she saw him arrive. "You're finally here. We're waiting for you to eat." She made a gesture to the waiter to serve their food. Yvan sat down without saying a word. But there was a subtle sense of coldness on his face. Daisy turned to look at him and explained gently, "I didn't know Aunt Diana would book a private dining room for us here, then call me and you over. I thought she just wanted to catch up with me over a meal." Diana said, "We didn't get to enjoy a meal together due to sudden events. That's why I wanted to have another meal with you. Seems like it was just a misunderstanding last time. Daisy explained to me how Yuna fell off the balcony herself. She even had to get slapped for no reason at all." Diana's face turned sour. Her hatred for Y
Yuna came out to use the washroom. She was thinking about what she should do for these two days. However, when she came out of the washroom stall to wash her hands, she didn't expect to bump into Daisy, who was going to wash her hands as well. What a coincidence. The smile on Daisy's face vanished the moment she saw Yuna. Anger replaced her smile. She didn't think Yuna would also appear there. Yuna simply ignored her and started to wash her hands. She then turned to leave. "Yuna," Daisy called. Yuna couldn't be bothered. She was still going to leave. Frustrated, Daisy said, "Do you know why I'm here? Aunt Diana asked me and Yvan to come over to discuss our marriage. Although you're his ex-wife, you're still working as partners with Yvan now. I'll send you an invitation to our wedding." Yuna's face remained impassive. "I don't think we're so close that we could celebrate your marriage together. Spending money on a wedding gift for a stranger wouldn't be worth it either. So
After hearing what Yuna said, Daisy felt like she was being taunted and mocked. She glowered at her, but Yuna wasn't bothered by it. After letting out a snicker, Yuna turned and left the bathroom. She thought she could enjoy a meal with Sherry and Harry. But Daisy's appearance and the fact that Yvan and his mother were also there had killed her appetite. She still didn't want to deal with anyone from the Jenkins family, apart from Grandpa Jenkins and Kiara. Especially not Diana, who showed so much dislike toward her. She texted Sherry to tell her that they should head back before paying at the counter. "Ms. Feron?" Michael had just finished paying the bill. He couldn't help gasping when he saw Yuna here. Yvan, who was smoking at the resting lounge not far away, heard him. He tilted his head as he puffed out a mouthful of smoke, which lingered before his eyes. When he took a better look, he realized that it was Yuna standing there. He furrowed his brow. Yuna put on a smile the
At that moment, Natalie and Nathaniel were hiding in the bathroom. Natalie stared at Nathaniel, who was working on his laptop while sitting on the toilet bowl. "Nathaniel, is this alright?" "Why not? If he doesn't suffer from some trouble before he marries Mommy, he won't appreciate her in the future." "You're right. I suggest you make things harder for him then." "I think the same." And so, the kids set up something for them. After getting out of the car, Yvan and the others got into the elevator. Then, it suddenly stopped. Before they could react, a cartoon man appeared on the screen in the elevator. He then told them to solve some problems before the elevator could go up. Surprised, Gabriel said, "The bridesmaids are smart, aren't they? They've actually set up something like this for us." Lucian chuckled and said, "It's probably done by a computer genius." Yvan agreed to answer. Then, they started answering the questions. The bridesmaids were waiting for the groo
When Natalie and Nathaniel found out that Kiara was pregnant with Harry's child, they were overjoyed. That meant they were going to have a younger cousin. They also wanted to join in when they heard that their parents were going to have a wedding. They even wanted to get involved in the wedding decoration. Of course, Yvan let them do what they wanted. Considering the fact that Kiara got pregnant, she and Harry would be having their wedding first. Although they didn't have much time, the Jenkins family helped in setting the best wedding they could afford. It was rare for the Jenkins family to be so lively and busy. Since Harry was an orphan, Sherry and Yuna were his only family who would be attending the wedding. His ex-colleagues and workers in his club would be invited as well. At the wedding, Sherry and Yuna watched as they exchanged rings and vows. They were touched at the sight. They hugged each other with tears streaming down their faces. Sherry said, "I though
Because of Kiara's news, Yvan and Yuna didn't have the chance to enjoy a candlelight dinner. They headed over to see Kiara. They arrived at Harry's club. At that moment, Kiara and Harry were sitting in the office like kids who did something wrong. They waited for Yuna and Yvan to come. When Sherry heard the sound of the door opening, she told them, "Hoho, they're here. Better be careful." After that, Yuna and Yvan entered the room as expected. Without saying a word, Yvan grabbed Harry's collar. Kiara quickly protected him. "Yvan Jenkins, if you dare to land a finger on my man, I won't let you off!" "He's pushing you around!" "Bullshit!" Yvan and Kiara glared at each other hard. Stuck in the middle, Harry raised his hands high. "I will marry Kiara." Yuna quickly dragged Yvan to the side. "Are you going to beat Harry up?" she asked. "They're dating! Besides, they're adults. Since it has come to this, it's up to them to decide their future. I'm telling you, Kiara's b
Yuna pushed him away. "Alright, I'll tell him to come over and chat a bit longer then." Hearing that, Yvan became helpless. He pulled her into his arms. "I was just joking. I didn't want that to happen, either." Yuna smirked. Knowing that she only said that to upset him, Yvan said impatiently, "You really want to see me suffer, don't you?" "Is it too much for you then?" "Of course not. You can do anything you want to me," Yvan said lovingly. Right then, Yuna's phone rang. "It's Carl. Let me answer the call." Hearing that name, Yvan was once again frustrated. Compared to Ashton, Carl was an even bigger competition. Carl was the one who could threaten Yvan's place in Yuna's heart. "Carl." Hearing Yuna's tone when she spoke to Carl, Yvan wished he could end the call for her. After that, he'd find the nearest hotel and give this woman a good punishment. But he couldn't. He could only hold it in. "Are you doing well in Jefton State?" Carl asked. "Yes, I am." "I
Although Arthur explained everything to him, Jacob was still unwilling to accept the truth. He even denied it. Because of all the horrible things he did, Arthur eventually told Yvan to send Jacob to the cops. He'd be locked up in jail for his whole life. Arthur had no regrets. He could only blame himself for not teaching his child well. Yvan didn't ask Arthur too much about it. He followed Arthur's instructions and sent Jacob to jail. This matter was then settled. Yvan decided to hide Jacob's identity so that this incident wouldn't get out. It was also to prevent the Jenkins family from being the talk of town. Arthur allowed him to do so. …The fact that Yvan and Yuna had made up was sudden and surprising for everyone. They were curious about what happened between those two. Since Yuna was back in Jefton State, she decided to meet up with Ashton. "Do you really have to see him?" Yvan asked. "Don't forget about your promise," Yuna reminded. Yvan could only listen t
Seeing his reaction, Arthur was utterly disappointed. "That's what you want to believe." Arthur sighed and said, "Forget it. It was me who didn't take everything into consideration and caused you to misunderstand us. "You always thought that your mother and I side with Felix because he's weaker than you. But you're wrong. We raised both of you equally well. But you weren't willing to work hard. "Felix said he's physically weak, so he had to study harder than you. He wanted to support you and guide you while you inherit the family company." "No way!" Jacob's eyes were bloodshot. His mind went blank because of what his father said. But Arthur wasn't done talking. Standing in front of Jacob, he said, "You're the one who plotted the car accident against Felix and Yvan, weren't you?" "That's right." "You're so foolish. Felix has been weak since birth. They only managed to bring Yvan into this world through countless IVF rounds."His health has worsened since earlier on, but h
In the Jenkins Residence study, Jacob was tied onto a chair after being brought there from abroad. Facing Arthur, who was standing across from him, he had no trace of fear or guilt. Instead, there was only resentment. He looked as if he wished he could murder Arthur now. Sneering, he said, "Now that your children, grandchildren, and even great-grandchildren are here, you're probably over the moon, Father." Arthur had a serious look as he stared at Jacob. Walking toward him, Arthur sent a few slaps across his face. "You useless piece of trash. How dare you speak to me like that?" Bending his head, Jacob howled, "Why can't I say that? You're the one who abandoned me back then, weren't you?" Impatient, Arthur said, "Ask yourself if I was the one who abandoned you or if you chose to leave us!" Jacob continued to yell, "Wasn't it you who sided with Felix back then? If not, would I have wanted to leave?" Arthur was so mad that he clutched his chest and panted. Pointing at Jac
After half a month, they boarded the flight back to Jefton State. All this while, Yvan and the kids had been getting along. Their relationship seemed like one between normal families. The kids watched as their parents sat closely with each other. They then turned their heads away. Natalie asked with a soft voice, "Nathaniel, are you planning to let Daddy know about how you've taken so much of his money back then?" Crossing his arms, Nathaniel said, "He's rich anyway. He doesn't have to be bothered by the amount of money that I took him for." Giggling, Natalie said, "You don't dare to tell him, do you?" Nathaniel kept his chin up and said, "There's nothing I should be afraid of." "Don't worry. I'll side with you. If Daddy bullies Mommy again, you should steal tens of billions of money from him." "Smart girl." …Finally, they arrived at Jefton State. Harry and the others had been waiting for them at the airport. When they saw Yuna and the kids coming out, Sherry and
After that, Yuna and the kids had been accompanying Yvan in the hospital for rehab. At the same time, Master Eastin was discharged. "Are you planning to bring Natalie and Nathaniel to Jefton State after he recovers?" Master Eastin asked. "Yeah, I'll deal with the last bit of things here. I'll still head back to Phoenix City after that," Yuna explained. "I can't just leave my work at the research center behind." "Since you've made up with that brat, you should think about what's going to happen next. Don't rush things just so you can return to the research center and work," Master Eastin said with a smile. "Those are two different matters." With a determined look, she said, "It's impossible for me to give up on my career because of anyone." Satisfied, Master Eastin nodded. "That's what we're talking about." Yuna smiled a little and said, "Master Eastim, do you really have to go back to Phoenix City now?" "I left a bunch of problems behind when I was taken away. I have to
