Yvan, who came downstairs with an icy expression, told Hesta, "From today onward, Yuna will be staying here. Just take care of her like how you did last time." Hesta didn't know what happened between the two of them. She was obviously happy that Yuna would stay at Birchwood Heights, but she could sense that something was off about their relationship, whether it came from Yvan or Yuna. She asked carefully, "What if Ms. Feron wants to leave?" "She's not allowed to." Hesta met Yvan's petrifying eyes and instantly lowered her head. "Very well." "Go prepare some food for her." After leaving some instructions to her, Yvan asked Michael to send the documents to the study. Michael gave Hesta a look, signaling her to just follow Yvan's instructions. Since Yuna couldn't leave, she could only send a text to Sherry. She lied that Yvan was worried about her injuries, so he brought her back to the hospital to examine her again. That was why she wouldn't be able to come back for a while
Yuna thought she could try to get some information from those two good friends of Yvan. Maybe they'd know what happened seven years ago. But as to how she could do that, she still had to come up with some ideas.Hesta thought Yuna had listened to what she said, so she was relieved. Even if she had more to say, she should stop there. "Ms. Feron, remember to have some food. I'll head down first. You can call me if anything." "Thank you, Hesta." Yuna had gradually calmed down. At least she now knew where to start. After eating a bit of food, Yuna realized it was already quite late. She thought that Yvan wouldn't come since he locked her up there. She got down from the bed without worry and limped her way to the bathroom to wash up. She didn't know Yvan had entered the room when she was washing up.Yvan didn't see Yuna on the bed. Frowning, he turned to look at the bathroom; the lights were on. Suddenly, the sound of something crashing came from the bathroom. Yvan's face became
Yuna was having trouble sleeping because she couldn't move freely. But her left leg couldn't maintain the same position either. She had been silently counting up the time. When she felt Yvan's breathing steadied behind her, she thought he must have fallen asleep. Carefully, she moved her left leg out of the blanket. However, this slightest movement of hers made Yvan's hand, resting on her waist, shoot up to hug her instead. Instantly, the two became even closer together. Yuna took a sharp breath. Right behind her ears, Yvan's cold and raspy voice could be heard. "Why are you still so restless even when your leg is injured?" Not wanting to anger him, Yuna explained, "I felt pain in my left leg, so I want to stretch it outside the blanket." Her words jolted Yvan awake, prompting him to sit up and turn on the lights. Yuna's left leg was indeed stretched outside the blanket; half of it was dangling over the edge of the bed. In an instant, his anger dissipated. There was even gu
When Yuna met Lucian's gaze, she felt a bit embarrassed. She nodded at him as Hesta helped her to sit on the couch. Hesta said, "Ms. Feron, I'll bring you some breakfast in case you're feeling hungry." Lucian was getting ready to start. "That's right. Yvan will blame us if we let you go hungry." Upon hearing his comment, Yuna suppressed her attempt to refuse them. She looked at Hesta, who was busy in the kitchen, then turned toward Lucian. "May I ask you a few questions, Dr. Storm?" "Of course. Is there anything specific I should be aware of?" Lucian asked. Yuna was taken aback by his response, but she realized the obvious meaning behind his words when she met his eyes. "I hope you won't tell anyone that I'm the one who's asking you this." "Of course. Go ahead." Yuna thought it wouldn't be realistic for Lucian to agree so readily. After all, he was working under Yvan. However, for the time being, she wanted to test the waters so that she could ask more questions the next
Yuna said, "Seven years have passed. Would it even be possible to catch the perpetrator? Most likely not. Since I'm well now, why should I dwell on that matter?" Lucian shook his head. "You can't just say that. All these years, Yvan has never stopped searching for the perpetrator because of you. After all, from the moment the car crash happened to you, something about the incident seemed suspicious. It's clear that someone deliberately planned it." Hearing that, Yuna replied in disbelief, "Are you saying that Yvan has been investigating the incident all along?" "Do you doubt it, Ms. Feron?" Lucian asked. "Ms. Feron, you and Yvan indeed had a bad relationship, which even led to a divorce. However, it cannot be denied that Yvan isn't someone devoid of compassion. Your sudden death deeply affected him." Yuna fell silent. Shortly after, Hesta brought breakfast over and cut their conversation naturally. "Yvan had been searching for the perpetrator. Was he really not the one who
Yuna didn't expect Yvan to keep his word. She wasn't allowed to leave Birchwood Heights, unable to even make a call to Rose. They told her Yvan had notified the research center that she would be working from home from today onward. Meetings are to be conducted through video calls. She had no choice but to accept such an arrangement for the time being because of her leg injury. But it was impossible for her to stay there indefinitely; her two children might start suspecting something. She had to come up with other ways to get out of this. With all those thoughts burdening her mind, Yuna was finally done sorting out her work and arranged the work matters with her team. Just when she was about to ask Hesta to bring her some coffee, Hesta dashed upstairs. "Ms. Feron, this is bad. Mrs. Jenkins is here. You should stay up here and not come down. I'll deal with Mrs. Jenkins." Hearing that, Yuna was astonished. "Mrs. Jenkins is here?" Hesta nodded. "Yes, but it's fine. I've already inf
"Wait!" Mrs. Jenkins suddenly yelled, causing Yuna, who had reached the dining table, to stop. When Yuna turned around, Mrs. Jenkins was already standing in front of her. She said icily, "Are you going to complain to Yvan about this right after I kick you out of here?" Yuna remained expressionless. She merely replied, "Mr. Jenkins only made me stay here so I can recuperate from that car accident. It feels the same for me to recuperate anywhere else. Besides, it's not suitable for me to recover here either." Mrs. Jenkins nodded with satisfaction. "Remember what you just said. If I find out that you spout any nonsense to Yvan to ruin his relationship with Daisy, I won't let you off easily." Hearing that, Yuna seemed to understand why Mrs. Jenkins would come here out of the blue. Not exposing anything, she turned and left Birchwood Heights. She then called Sherry to come over and pick her up. Just as she was wheeling herself to the gate of Birchwood Heights to wait for Sherry
"You!" Daisy was so enraged that her face turned green. She couldn't land that slap in the face of Yuna's arrogance. She didn't want to take that risk. Taking a deep breath, Daisy spoke smugly, "If I were to meet Mrs. Jenkins right now, do you think she would let you off the hook after knowing you slapped me?" Yuna replied amusedly, "Feel free to try. Go ahead. If Mrs. Jenkins does something to me, I'll terminate the contract between Yvan and me. When Yvan asks me about it, what do you think I would say?" In that instant, Daisy grew even more furious because she was now completely under Yuna's control. Of course, she knew very well how important the project was to Yvan. "Daisy Bailey, you really don't have any guts. I can guess why you haven't become Yvan's wife even after seven years." "Yuna Feron!" Yuna's words struck a nerve with Daisy. Through gritted teeth, she said, "You think you can make fun of me now, but don't forget how you were abandoned by Yvan back then!"
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
