Sherry agreed with her. "That's right. Although the press conference hasn't happened yet, news of you working with Yvan might have already leaked. People are probably talking about it already." Hearing that, Yuna remained calm. She had already anticipated it. "I heard something today." Yuna changed the subject. Curious, Sherry glanced at her and asked, "What is it?" "Dr. Storm told me that Yvan has been investigating my car crash for the past seven years," Yuna said casually. "Do you mean Lucian Storm, Yvan's friend?" "Yeah." "They're close friends, though." Sherry sighed. A smile appeared on Yuna's face. She knew what Sherry meant by saying that because she did think that way too. "I know. It's natural that Dr. Storm might put in good words for Yvan. But if he knew that I might investigate the matter and told me false information, wouldn't he be eating his own words in the end?" Sherry couldn't help but agree with Yuna after hearing that. However, she still felt that
"What did you just say?" Mrs. Jenkins thought there was something wrong with her ears. Yvan took a deep breath; his face remained dark. "I will handle my affairs, so you shouldn't interfere. If anything happens after you arrange for Daisy to live here, you'll have to bear the consequences on your own." With those words, he turned and left. Mrs. Jenkins was left dumbfounded. It took a while for her to return to her senses. "What did he mean by that? What does that mean?" But no one could answer her question. … Although Daisy had been slapped by Yuna, the promise made by Mrs. Jenkins to let Daisy move into Birchwood Heights cheered her up. The slap was worth it. She touched up her makeup while gleefully waiting for the good news from Mrs. Jenkins. Unexpectedly, Yvan was the one who came. Daisy became excited, thinking that Yvan had come to welcome her to Birchwood Heights, so she headed out cheerily. But she finally realized that Yvan, who was sitting on the couch in
The next day, Sherry brought Yuna to the hospital to redress her wound. They were chatting happily, not realizing Darren's presence, who had already spotted them. He was playing with an unlit cigarette with his fingers, but his eyes rested upon Yuna sitting in a wheelchair. He squinted briefly and immediately recalled the car crash a few days ago. He called someone. "Guess who I saw in the hospital." Ashton's voice came through on the other end. "Your ex-girlfriend?" That made Darren laugh. "Why would I bother calling you over an ex? I bumped into Yuna. Her leg is injured, so she's in a wheelchair now. I suspect she was involved in Yvan's car crash a few days ago." It was quiet on the other end of the line for a few seconds. Darren chuckled and added, "I'll help you to ask her about it. It might buy you some time too." "Hold your horses, will you?" "Okay." Darren hung up and tossed the object in his hand to his bodyguard behind him. "Wait in the car." With that, he st
Darren didn't let go of his grip on the wheelchair's push handle so that Yuna couldn't move forward. "Don't be in such a hurry to leave. I told Ashton about your injury, and he's really worried. I think he's almost here." Hearing that, Yuna felt that Darren seemed to enjoy doing unexpected things. No wonder he and Yvan were enemies. "Let's go. We'll wait for him outside." Darren pushed the wheelchair outside, and Yuna couldn't do anything about it. When they reached the hospital entrance, Ashton was rushing over as expected. As soon as he saw Yuna sitting in a wheelchair with her left leg bandaged, his face paled. He asked with care, "Yuna, why didn't you tell me you were injured?" "It's just a minor injury." "I promised your seniors that I'd take good care of you. Now that you're injured, I feel so ashamed to even mention it to them." There was nothing but concern in Ashton's eyes. Darren simply pushed the wheelchair to him. "Alright, enjoy your chat. I'll take my leave
Spencer's words made Yuna and the other two shift their gazes toward Natalie and Nathaniel. As her beautiful eyes fluttered, Natalie spoke with understanding, "We're doing fine. As long as we get to see Mommy every day, we're happy. It's okay if we stay at home and not go out. We won't be jealous of other people." Yuna's heart softened the moment she heard Natalie's words. "Yeah," Nathaniel said casually, agreeing with Natalie's stance. Meanwhile, Spencer continued eating his food to hide his facial expressions. Upon hearing that, Harry felt sorry for the twins. "Actually, if we can find a private preschool that is secluded and well-protected, we can consider sending Natalie and Nathaniel there." Sherry frowned. "Would it be safe?" Seizing the opportunity, Spencer put down his fork and spoke, "Actually, I can recommend somewhere good. It's a preschool founded by my friend, and it's both safe and secluded. The children attending that school have special family backgrounds.
Seeing how all three adults had their eyes on him, Spencer gulped. "Don't look at me like that. I just happen to have what you need already. I have a few brand-new vans that I never get to use, really." Yuna shifted her eyes away. "If that's the case, everything's settled for now, then." Hearing that, Spencer quietly heaved a sigh of relief, then said with a smile, "Great. I'll contact my friend later. You can send Natalie and Nathaniel to the school whenever you want." Natalie and Nathaniel exchanged a look in secret. That was a close call. After dinner, while Yuna and the others chatted in the study, Spencer sneaked into the children's room. He whispered, "How was that? Uncle Spencer is incredible, right? I'm a man of promise." Nathaniel threw him a look of disgust. "If it weren't for Mommy's faith in you, she would definitely suspect that you have ulterior motives back at the dining table." Spencer ruffled his hair. "What are you talking about, kiddo? Who else can your M
Nathaniel moved his eyes away, and a hint of arrogance appeared on his serious face. "Unlike us, he's not even a direct family member." Natalie pouted. "But he's still so ugly." Knowing how his sister had always been obsessed with looks, Nathaniel didn't bother to say anything more. After all, he thought that the boy was ugly too. After the lesson ended, Natalie approached the boy as planned. She put on a sweet smile and stuck her arm out. "Hi, let's be friends. I'm Natalie; what's your name?" The little boy had noticed Natalie the moment she entered the classroom. Seeing how she took the initiative to talk to him, he was shy. "He … hello, I'm Jackson." "Wow, you're so gentle, Jackson. So we're good friends now, right?" Natalie said, beaming. Jackson was enchanted by her overwhelming cuteness, so he could only nod profusely. Nathaniel sat at his seat with his arms crossed and his expression tensed. If it weren't for Natalie being the only one who could do the task, he wou
Yuna ate the fruits and asked, "Is there any difference between intentionally and on purpose?" Sherry sat down beside her. "For me, he's doing this on purpose intentionally!" Yuna nodded in agreement. "What now, then? Did you agree with his idea of letting his driver fetch you every day?" "I can't meet him now" She raised her left leg. "I can't talk with him through the phone either. It wouldn't be enough to make things clear to him. He might not even pick up the call." Sherry grew even more confused. "What is Jenkins trying to do here? Back when you were married, he didn't want to see you at all. But now, he shows up in front of you every day." Yuna didn't want to continue that topic, but she said, "When his driver comes to pick me up tomorrow, I'll make things clear to him. Oh, and tell Aunty Lucy not to leave at the same time as I do tomorrow." Sherry nodded. "I'll drive them tomorrow. We can leave earlier and have a nice breakfast together." "Thank you so much." …
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
