It was a call from Cedric. Cedric knew the time difference between Jefton State and abroad. There must be some important matters if he called her at this hour. She quickly answered, "Cedric." Cedric briefly greeted her too. "I thought you'd be asleep." "Did something happen, Cedric?" Yuna asked worriedly. "It's nothing big. I just want to let you know what Master Eastin informed me. He told me that he accepted a project, but it's a secret project, so he can't tell us much about it. And he won't be able to contact us for about three months starting now. We won't be able to contact him either. That's why I'm telling you." Yuna was confused when she heard that. "Whose project is that? Why is it so secretive?" "I've asked about it, but Master Eastin didn't tell me anything. Besides, I only got this information from a text he sent me before he boarded the plane. When I called him, his phone was turned off. I did try to search for the flight that went on, but I couldn't find any
"Even if that's the case, she shouldn't use suicide as a way to attract his attention. I really don't know how her mind works." Kiara's voice carried a mixture of disapproval and disdain toward Daisy, as if she did something embarrassing as a woman. Yuna even thought that if she hung around Yvan more, Daisy would expose what she did again, just like before. Only this would take her a step closer to the truth. She never expected that she would choose to attempt suicide. What a shame.Sensing that Yuna was quiet, Kiara thought she shouldn't have told her the news. So, she quickly changed the topic, "The press conference is happening soon. There's even a public announcement for that. For now, the only thing that hasn't been revealed yet is your identity as Surra. I'm guessing that it would be big news when you appeared on the screen." Yuna could actually hear the excitement in Kiara's voice. She laughed and said, "Yeah, it would be interesting. But I don't think this will affect
At TN Group. Yvan didn't sleep at all for the whole night. After making sure that Daisy was asleep, he sneaked back to Birchwood Heights but was told that Yuna took the chance to leave when he wasn't around. That instantly made his blood boil, but there was nowhere he could release his frustration. That caused him to glare at anybody at work, which left all the employees and staff horrified. Not long after, Michael pushed the door open. "Ms. Feron is here, Mr. Jenkins." Hearing that, Yvan snuffed out his cigarette and frowned. But his brow relaxed soon after. "Why is she here?" Michael explained, "One of the documents that were supposed to be sent here was left out, so Ms. Feron came here to hand it to you." "Let her in." Michael nodded, then turned and left. He gave her a look to signal that she could go in. Seeing her heading inside, Michael breathed a sigh of relief. It would all depend on Yuna whether she could make Yvan's mood better. The moment Yuna entered the of
Half an hour later, Yuna and Yvan were in a private room at a restaurant. When the waiter brought all the food out, she watched with confusion as Yvan started to eat. She, on the other hand, didn't touch the food. Yvan raised his eyebrow and asked, "Do you not like the food here?" Yuna didn't know that Yvan's punishment was for them to have a meal together. But this indeed felt like a punishment to her. After all, she always felt like she was suffering when she had to eat with Yvan at Birchwood Heights. She took a deep breath and smiled. "No, enjoy the food, Mr. Jenkins. I'm not that hungry." "Don't waste food. Eat." Yvan frowned and said—no, commanded. Yuna had no choice but to pick up her fork and knife and start eating. Yuna wasn't sure if it was an illusion, but Yvan seemed to be in a great mood. He even looked like he was enjoying the food better than usual. But she was sure it was just an illusion because Yvan and her always couldn't stand each other. So it was impo
A small truck came fast from the side, appearing out of nowhere. Yvan's car was just less than ten feet away from it. When Yuna yelled, Yvan was already braking the car. He even turned the steering wheel all the way to the right in that moment of emergency. It was a close call when the car and truck only brushed past each other. However, the car still collided with a garbage bin by the roadside. A loud bang followed the impact. Yuna felt like she was being jerked back and forth in the car. The back of her head struck forcefully against something before propelling her forward. She was fast enough to shield her head, but it still hit the front, causing her to feel a concussion. The front of the car was dented due to the impact, and black smoke was coming out of the hood. The situation inside wasn't any better. Yuna was suppressing a painful moan. Her eyes couldn't focus at all. "Yuna!" Yvan unbuckled his seat belt and noticed that Yuna looked as if she'd passed out any moment
At that moment, it was like Harry and Yvan were having a face-off. Still sitting in the passenger seat, Yuna was in so much pain that her complexion turned pale. She almost couldn't think straight anymore. "Harry, quick." Harry took the tool from Yvan. "Saving Yuna is more important here, Mr. Jenkins." Yvan took a deep breath, not wanting to aggravate the injury in his stomach. His face became tense ever since Harry appeared. Harry reached into the car again and tried to carefully move Yuna's leg out with the help of the tool. The process lasted less than five or six minutes, and Yuna could finally sigh in relief. Harry threw the tool aside and carried her out of the car effortlessly. He told Yvan, "Mr. Jenkins, the other traffic police will arrive soon. They would need you to tell them about what happened as the victim of this car accident. I'll send Yuna to the hospital now." Yvan wanted to stop him, but seeing how Yuna's ankle was still bleeding, he could only watch as H
But Yuna said, "It's alright. When will Mr. Jenkins be back from examination?" Seeing Yuna was concerned for Yvan, Michael said, "Why don't you wait in Mr. Jenkins' ward? I'll go check on that." And so, Michael brought Yuna to Yvan's ward before going off to see him. Yuna took the chance to ring Sherry up and tell her the ward number so she could find her in the hospital. After that, she browsed the net, which showed the news of the car accident. Thankfully, she wasn't in the news. The news headline was "Yvan Jenkins Involved in Serious Car Crash." Because of the accident, the press conference was also mentioned. She carefully read through the comments, finding out that the netizens thought the car accident was strange. When Yuna started thinking about it, she, too, thought something was off. "Yuna Feron, why would you be here?" Daisy's sudden appearance distracted Yuna from her thoughts. She put her phone away and lifted her gaze to look at Daisy, who was walking into the wa
"Yvan Jenkins is just next door." "Huh?" Sherry nearly shrieked. She then closed the door to prevent anyone from eavesdropping on them. "Is Jenkins actually next door?" "And his girlfriend too.""The heck?" Amused by Sherry's reaction, Yuna nearly laughed out loud. "Can't you use a better word to respond?" "What is this, some soap opera?" Sherry finally used other words as a reply. "Harry just told me that you and Jenkins got into an accident. So Jenkins got injured pretty seriously too?" "He's suffering from internal injuries, while mine is an external." "What a match," Sherry said teasingly. "So, when you came out from that ward, Daisy was also in there. What kind of battlefield was that?" Although Sherry was talking in that way, it was obvious that she wished she could do something. The next second, she said, "I wish I were there." "You can still feel it if you go there now." "No, no." As Sherry spoke, she helped Yuna get into the bed. Yuna asked, "Natalie and N
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
