Yvan was about to pick up the pizza Yuna handed over when Yuna's phone rang. After seeing who the caller was, a big grin slid across Yuna's face, and she turned to the men. "Thank you for the food, Dr. Storm. My ride is here. Please excuse me and do enjoy the meal." With that, she quickly left while answering the phone.Lucian watched as Yvan's expression darkened and teased, "Aren't you going to chase after her?" Yvan tossed the pizza onto the plate and continued smoking. Lucian hummed. "I heard Ashton escorted her back home last time—" Before he could finish his words, Yvan had already stood up and left. Lucian sighed and shook his head. Just as he was reaching for another slice, Gabriel leaned closer to him. "So, Yvan likes Yuna, right?" "Don't speak while you're eating," Lucian scolded. …Yuna left the restaurant and hurried over when she saw a familiar car. Suddenly, an electric car appeared on her left and honked loudly at her. She quickly stepped back but tripped ove
Upon hearing Harry's question, Yuna subconsciously looked at the coat she was still wearing and hurriedly took it off. "It's not what you think." Harry seized the opportunity and teased, "Oh? Then do tell me what happened exactly." Yuna rubbed her temple and explained the situation. After listening to her explanation, Harry frowned slightly. "What? You're telling me they had a business meeting and a birthday party at the same place?" "I also felt something was off. Initially, I was curious as to why Darren invited me. And I think this might be the answer to my question. He wanted Yvan and the others to think that I'm on their side and cause tension between us," Yuna analyzed. "Darren had always been a sly fox. Otherwise, he wouldn't have clashed with Yvan on multiple occasions. But it was wrong of him to use you as a pawn," Harry expressed his concern. "Yuna, I think you should stay away from them." "I know." Yuna sighed. …The next day, Yuna became the trending topic of t
"Surra, have you heard the news?" Ashton's tone was laced with concern and apology. "You don't have to worry about it, Mr. Yale. I have someone handling it on my end," Yuna comforted him. "I was supposed to be the one showing concern for you, how the tables have turned. Don't worry. I will explain the situation about us attending the birthday as soon as possible to avoid further disturbance. Please inform me if you are facing any trouble. Additionally, I'll send two of my men over to protect you," Ashton said. Yuna shook her head. "Mr. Yale, there really is no need for that. I'm safe, and—" "This whole situation started because of me, so it's my responsibility to ensure your safety," Ashton cut her off. "Yuna, why do you always refuse my goodwill? I promised your seniors that I would take care of you. How am I supposed to explain to them if anything bad happens to you?" Yuna couldn't refute his words. "I'll handle this. I'll inform you of the progress later." Ashton was fir
Yuna pressed for more information. "So, do we know who leaked the photos?" Spencer shook his head. "We're still investigating." Yuna smiled. "Thank you for the hard work." Spencer grabbed a bottle of water and took a few sips. "Don't mention it. I came to Jefton State not just for work but also to protect the three of you, following my brother's orders. I'm used to this, don't worry." Yuna smiled faintly and didn't say anything more. …The person who took down the news was Nathaniel, who acted as soon as he found out. Even though Ashton and Yvan kept searching for the culprit, they came back empty-handed. A huge pout appeared on Nathaniel's childish face. After a few clicks, he immediately found the person responsible. When Natalie saw the news, she also grew both furious and frustrated. "Nathaniel, now that we know who did it, how should we tell Mommy?" Nathaniel immediately came up with an idea. "Let's tell Uncle Spencer." "Can we trust him? Wouldn't that man be mo
Daisy could sense something was up and didn't want to go inside. She backed away defensively. "I have nothing to say to you. I'm leaving." "Ms. Bailey, if you walk out that door right now, the police will be outside waiting for you. Do you want tomorrow's headlines to be about you?" Yuna said nonchalantly. "Let's see … the headline: 'Girlfriend of TN Group's President Apprehended by Police' has a nice ring to it, don't you think?" Daisy's face turned pale, and she nervously walked inside. "What do you want?" Kiara closed the door behind them. She was also curious herself. They were still in the dark about the situation, but Kiara knew that Yuna was not one to give out empty threats. "I must admit, I was surprised you laid low for so long. But I didn't expect you to pull off such an outrageous move." Yuna stood up and stalked closer to Daisy. "Ms. Bailey, have you forgotten what happened half a month ago? Because of you, Mr. Jenkins and I made the headlines." "I don't know wha
Daisy shook her head desperately. "Kiara, don't believe what she says. I haven't done any of those things." Suddenly, Yuna chirped, "Speaking of which, Mr. Jenkins had divorced me without warning back then. I bet you must be the one who instigated it." "Bullshit! Yvan doesn't like you! That's why he divorced you! I didn't need to pull any strings," Daisy refuted. Upon hearing that, Kiara knew there was more than meets the eye. Daisy immediately realized her mistake and turned to Kiara anxiously. "Kiara, she's trying to sow discord. I swear I didn't." Yuna nodded. "Fine. We can say this is me sowing discord. But this is all in the past, and it's all water under the bridge now. So let's focus on the present. Daisy, why did you repeatedly try to slander the relationship between me and Mr. Jenkins? And why did you go to such lengths to expose the two of us, even if it meant ruining Mr. Jenkins's reputation?" "I didn't." Daisy stomped the ground in frustration. "The evidence y
"I wonder how Mr. Jenkins would react if he found out you were the one behind the online articles," Yuna warned, not threatened by Daisy in the slightest. Daisy bit her lips. She had hidden it so well and was confident Yvan wouldn't be able to trace it back to her. But she wasn't expecting Yuna to find out. She even had evidence to back her up. If Yvan were to find out about it … Yuna observed her guilt-ridden expression and knew all Daisy had left was her obstinacy. "It's okay even if you won't admit it. I have already sent the information to my lawyer. The police will come knocking on your door soon." "You … how dare you!" Daisy gritted her teeth. "If you're that insistence about your innocence, why would you be afraid of the police?" Yuna sneered at her. "I'm giving you a chance to settle this privately. But I'm not above bringing this to the officials if you continue to deny it." "I … I'm telling Yvan." Daisy trembled slightly. "Sure, go ahead and call him now. Let him
"Michael, get me someone who can authenticate this," Yvan ordered. Michael immediately went out to make a phone call. Daisy paled in fear as panic and anxiety flashed across her eyes. She sobbed pitifully, "You don't believe me, Yvan?" "One says it's true, while the other says it's false. How do you think I should go about it?" Yvan's reply left Daisy speechless. Kiara, on the other hand, was relieved there was still some rationality in her brother. "Yuna had suggested calling a professional to authenticate this from the beginning, but Daisy insisted on waiting for your arrival." She got up and approached Daisy, a smirk playing on her lips. "What do you have to say for yourself now, Daisy?" Daisy bit her lips. She looked up at Yvan through teary eyes and placed a hand over her stinging cheeks. "Yvan, even if Yuna's evidence was authentic, it still doesn't mean I was the one behind it. But she attacked me! Look at my face," she said, tilting her head back to show Yvan her cheek
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
