When Herbert heard that, his face turned sour as he said, "Yuna is now a researcher at the West Drew Institute. She's even collaborating with the TN Group. How would she be able to help with the company matters? It's difficult enough for me to be able to call her here." Yuna curled her lips into a smile without saying anything. She'd listen to what others had to say. "Based on my understanding, one doesn't need a long time to complete a research and development project. Since Ms. Feron's work has already lasted over a month, I believe the collaborative project is finishing up soon, right?" At that moment, everyone had their eyes on her. Yuna nodded lightly. "Yes." That man continued, "Speaking of which, it's not like Mr. Blake will be taking over Mr. Feron's position as the company president. So it should be okay to wait for Ms. Feron for another two months. Mr. Feron, we, as the shareholders, would only continue our support if the company has the best development and future.
Yuna nodded. She turned her face slightly to look at the overjoyed Herbert. "But Blake has to agree on a few terms." Herbert agreed immediately, "We'll accept any terms if it means saving your brother." The others kept quiet. Hearing his firm answer, Yuna smiled. "He'll have to apologize to my friend, compensate for the damage in the shop and emotional distress. Finally, he has to promise me not to do anything bad to me ever again here in this room and in front of everyone." The first two terms were reasonable, but Herbert thought the last term was unreasonable. How would he look if he allowed his son to apologize to Yuna in front of everyone here? Seeing Herbert's hesitation, Yuna asked with a smile, "Dad, these terms shouldn't be too unreasonable. Besides, I think Blake would definitely change after this kind of incident. Wouldn't this kill two birds with one stone?" Herbert almost blew a fuse. Right then, someone spoke up, "If Mr. Blake is really to change after this i
Kiara was taken aback again. "One of your Dads is dead?" Natalie answered, "Yeah, it's true. My Dad died." Kiara was sucking on her lollipop and only realized what Natalie meant after a long while. Did that mean her real father was dead and that she was only left with her foster parents? She couldn't help but look at Natalie pitifully and reached out to hug her. Right then, Natalie added, "But I know that my real Dad hasn't died yet." "Huh?" "He just doesn't want us anymore. He has a new baby with another woman." Kiara just wanted to curse out loud, but now she didn't know what to reply. This child seemed to be around six years old. "Natalie …" "Aunty, I have to go back to class. Thank you for your lollipop. Let's play together another time." After that, Natalie trotted back to the academic building. As she watched Natalie's back, Kiara's heart ached more and more for her. She wanted to head over to the classroom and take a look at her brother in secret. But right t
Blake couldn't say anything, fearing he would be locked up again. After all, Harry held a certain profession. After he apologized, he couldn't be bothered to stay there any longer and turned to leave. However, Yuna stopped him. "Stop right there. We're not done here, and you're just walking off?" Hearing her words, Blake turned around impatiently. "What else do you want?" Yuna sauntered up to him. "What's wrong? Didn't our father tell you that you need to apologize to me in front of all the shareholders?" Blake's expression darkened. "Enough bullshit. That's not possible." "Give him a call then." Yuna understood his confusion and said lightheartedly, "It's fine if you want to leave. But if you do, I'll have to go to the company and give a public statement about this. I won't be sure if they'll still appoint you as the next successor." Blake stood stiffly, glaring at her with hatred. "So, you're plotting against me again?" "I wouldn't word it like that. You should ask our
Liam chuckled. "You're right, Mr. Feron. Children do have spats here and there, but that's when they were young. That's an inevitable fact. But both Mr. Blake and Ms. Feron are now adults. They have to think twice before doing something. You can't solve an adult's mistakes by treating them like children. Am I wrong, Mr. Feron?" When he was done speaking, many people nodded in agreement. Herbert wanted to retort but realized none of his reasons would hold water. Seeing his father's silence, Blake gritted his teeth angrily. There was no way he was going to apologize to Yuna. "I'm not going to apologize to this bitch! No way in hell!" Right after that, he stood up and kicked the chair away. Witnessing his behavior, everyone in the room began to form a negative opinion of him. Herbert was enraged. "Are you crazy? Shut the hell up!" Yuna had been quietly watching things unfold since she sat down. Seeing Blake's resistance, she cheerfully remarked, "It's not surprising that Blake ref
Herbert held his head and stumbled back. "Take him away, and lock him up! Right now!" he yelled hysterically. Blake didn't want to leave. While he struggled, he shouted, "Why are you locking me up? I didn't say anything wrong! Dad, you planned to give her the company in the first place, didn't you?" His words had spread far and wide, and everyone in the company heard what had happened.Hence, Blake's bad reputation was pretty much ingrained in everybody's minds. Herbert, speechless with rage, returned to his office with the help of others. Since the issue didn't concern Yuna anymore, she planned to go home. But when she was about to go into the elevator, Liam walked up to her. "Ms. Feron." Yuna knew that Liam would always be on her side. Even though they rarely crossed paths, they had a tacit understanding of each other. At least, in Yuna's view, Liam was a straight-laced man. "Is there something you need, Mr. Lawson?" "I'm sure you must be upset after hearing Mr. Blake say s
Hearing Luna's request, Liam's eyes widened in shock, and he couldn't calm himself down at all. "Your father went and got himself another woman just a few months after your mother passed, claiming it was for your sake since you never experienced a mother's love. Who'd have thought that he would have another son and daughter so soon, and even treated you as if …" He sighed and said regretfully, "Ms. Feron, I've … let you down all these years." "Thank you for telling me all of this, Uncle Liam. Those things are now a thing of the past. There's no need to feel bad," Yuna comforted him. "No, I've let you and your mother down. Ever since your mother passed away, things have been uncertain at the company. I've done my best to honor your mother's effort and keep the company afloat. But even when things started settling down, there were still problems from time to time. As a result, I never made time to see you. However, after the accident, everything seemed to calm down in the company, as
"I thought the West Drew Institute provided you with an assistant along with a car. So, why are you still taking a taxi right now? How shabby." Noticing that Darren was about to help her, Yuna took a step back. "Thank you for your concern, Mr. Bowman, but I'm perfectly fine with taking a cab." Darren smiled smugly. "Considering our little secret, I thought that we were friends. I never thought you'd distance yourself from me. That makes me so sad." Yuna had no interest in being friends with Darren. Although he seemed indifferent, he had ulterior motives. He was so arrogant that his intention to manipulate her was evident on his face, as if he feared she wouldn't notice. The more transparent a person was about their goals, the more terrifying that person became. Looking at the people to his left, Yuna said calmly, "You didn't have to bail on your friends because of me, Mr. Bowman. I appreciate your kindness, but if you'll excuse me…" Darren stood where he was, touching the cor
