Yuna was already in the private room, as promised. When Herbert saw her entering with a crutch, he was taken aback. He thought it was just a small injury, but it seemed really serious. "Yuna, you're seriously injured! Why didn't you inform me about this?" Yuna's eyes were cold, but she put on a smile. "It's been a few days, and I'm almost recovered. It's not worth mentioning." Cora, who was sitting there without moving, saw her appearance and mocked, "Yuna, what perfect timing for you to get injured. You conveniently got hurt right after you hit Mr. Chandler. Did you get injured on purpose because you expected that he would come and seek revenge?" As she spoke, she turned to look at her own daughter with pity. Then, she shot daggers at Yuna. "Do you know what kind of situation you've put my daughter into? How can you feel at ease as her sister?" Yuna remained calm and composed, watching the mother and daughter sitting across from her. Joe hadn't arrived yet. After Herbert expre
Yuna knew he would deny it, so she took her phone and said, "It's alright if you don't want to admit it. After that day, I spent some money to buy the video that was filmed that day. Should I play it for you to refresh your memory?" Hearing that, Joe gawked at Yuna's phone in shock. He bellowed furiously, "Give me that video!" "Dad, did you see that?" Yuna looked at Herbert. "Or should I repeat what Mr. Chandler said that day which made me want to hit him?" Right after she said that, Joe cursed loudly and was about to hit her, but Yuna was quicker. She grabbed the crutch and hit him right in his stomach unexpectedly. Holding his stomach, Joe backed away and fell to the ground awkwardly. "Mr. Chandler!" Yasmine went to help him up worriedly, but she didn't forget to scold Yuna, "Yuna, how dare you hit Mr. Chandler in front of Dad? You clearly intended for this to happen!" "Are you blind? Didn't you see how he wanted to do something to an injured person like me?" Yuna said with
His words instantly made everyone in the room freeze. Only then did Herbert anxiously get up and walk to Yvan's side. He persuaded, "Mr … Mr. Jenkins, please don't do that. It's all a misunderstanding. Mr. Chandler is going to marry Yasmine soon. I-if something bad happens, Yuna wouldn't be at ease as Yasmine's sister, either. Besides, Mr. Chandler knows his mistake already. Yuna, would you let this go for your sister's sake?" Yuna frowned. Cora added, "That's right, Yuna loves her sister the most. Of course, she wouldn't ruin something so important to her, right?" Even Joe knew what to do as he tried to stand up painfully. "Mr. Jenkins, it's really my fault." Yvan glared at him icily. "It's up to Yuna whether or not she forgives you." Then, his cold eyes landed on Herbery. "If I didn't arrive on time and Yuna got hurt in this room, what would you say to me? She's the most important person on my team now. Will the Ferons be able to bear the consequences if it affects my proje
For Yuna, the most important thing was to find the real culprit that killed her back then. As for the matter with the Ferons, she had all the time to deal with them now that she had those shares. She only wanted to give Herbert a taste of losing everything after getting what he wanted. Stowing her thoughts away, Yuna felt chills coming from her right side. "How did you know that I was there?" "What do you think?" "Didn't I say you don't have to drive me to and from work? It's to avoid any misunderstanding. Not only that." Yuna paused on purpose as she raised her head to look at him. "Since you have so much time, why don't you keep your girlfriend company?" "Since when have you been so interested in my relationship? You're even meddling in it." His words made Yuna roll her eyes. "I'm not interested in your affairs. I just don't want to cause any unnecessary trouble." Yvan went close to her and fixed his sharp gaze upon her. "But when I look into your eyes, I've never sensed
Yvan narrowed his eyes, studying her face intently. "What? Are you afraid people will think you're desperate to remarry me?" "This kind of misunderstanding makes me uncomfortable." Her words only added fuel to the fire. Not bothered by Yvan's sudden change of expression, Yuna said, "No woman would want to be the scornful ex forever. Now that I'm free to earn my own money or go anywhere, why would I want to get married again?" Seeing how she spoke so casually, Yvan felt frustrated for no reason. He shifted his gaze away and said, "Head to East Charleston." East Charleston was also an expensive neighborhood, and Yuna wasn't surprised that Yvan had properties everywhere. But when they reached the apartment, she realized that this seemed to be where Yvan stayed quite often. He probably stayed there during their marriage when he didn't come back home. As if Yvan could tell what she was thinking, he helped her sit down and said, "When I'm not living in Birchwood Heights, I stay
"That's not it." Yuna picked up her cutleries and started eating. Seeing her reaction, annoyance showed on Yvan's face. "If you're not dissatisfied with the food, are you dissatisfied with me?" His words instantly made Yuna choke on her food. Yvan passed a glass of water to her calmly. "You don't have to feel so guilty about it." Yuna threw a look at him. She only felt better after drinking some water. "You certainly have a good imagination. Are you suffering from paranoia?" Yvan stared at her with a frown. Yuna even explained to him kindly, "That means you always imagine that people don't like you and want to hurt you." "So, are you saying that I guessed wrong?" It wasn't a wrong guess, but Yuna wouldn't admit it. "I was just lost in thoughts. Do you have to be so suspicious of everything?" "You were just lost in thoughts?" Faced with Yvan's questions, Yuna didn't know how to respond. She took a deep breath. "I was simply lost in thoughts, and I wasn't thinking of an
Yvan returned from the balcony after talking on the phone for two minutes. With a serious expression, he told Yuna, "Don't you dare leave this place, you hear that?" Judging from his words, Yuna knew he was going to see Daisy. She didn't say anything. Yvan quickly changed into a different set of clothes and went out. After watching the entrance for a few seconds, Yuna shifted her gaze away. She only got close to Yvan because she wanted to find out who wanted to kill her. She suspected Yvan and Daisy Bailey. That was why while she got close to Yvan, she would try to provoke Daisy to see if the trick would work on her again. But now it seemed like they were in a love triangle instead. It made her feel uncomfortable. Yuna took a deep breath. Even looking at the data on the laptop made her feel annoyed. She decided to get up and head to the bathroom. When she limped her way out of the bathroom, she looked at the bedroom. Something came up in her cluttered mind. She never found
Yuna awoke at the crack of dawn. Yvan usually always woke up earlier than her. After a quick wash and change of clothes, she left her bedroom on crutches and saw the man having breakfast at the dining table. She didn't want Yvan to carry her over to the table, so she took longer strides and sat down. Yvan gave her a knowing look and said, "The driver will send you to the hospital later." "Okay." Yuna was ecstatic when she heard that. "This means we'll be going separately," she thought. Yvan added, "I'll pick you up in the afternoon."Although Yuna wanted to say it wasn't necessary, she remained silent. Yvan placed a hard-boiled egg on her plate. "What's wrong? Do you not want me to pick you up?"Yuna frowned and reminded him, "Aren't you worried about the rumors spreading?" "Are you worried?" "I'm worried that it'll affect my job." "I thought you liked it." Yuna was rendered speechless.There was something odd about him that day, but she couldn't quite put her finger
