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
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
