"Grandpa Jenkins?" Yuna wondered.When Yuna married into the Jenkins family, Arthur treated her very well. Even when Yvan didn't come home at night, he would send someone to go look for him and chastise him on Yuna's behalf. If it weren't for Arthur backing her up, Yuna wouldn't have had a good time during the two years she spent with the Jenkins family.Astutely realizing that something was off, Yuna asked, "What's wrong with Grandpa Jenkins?"Yvan sneered, "So you still know how to care about other people."Yuna frowned and met his mocking eyes squarely. "I remember everyone who was good to me."Hearing that, Yvan's mouth pulled down instantly. She was obviously insinuating that he hadn't treated her well. He didn't bother to argue but said in a low voice, "Grandfather wants to see you.""Okay."He grabbed her shoulder, lowered his head, and leaned in as he warned, "Hold your tongue in front of Grandfather.""No matter what, I won't do Grandpa Jenkins any harm," Yuna stated,
Daisy put on a smile and pretended she hadn't heard the conversation just now. She handed the things she'd brought to Yvan. "I heard that Grandpa Jenkins was in the hospital, so I came to see him. I didn't expect Yuna to be here too."She then bowed slightly and asked, "Grandpa Jenkins, are you feeling better?""I'm fine," Arthur replied.Yuna got up and said, "Grandpa Jenkins, I'll come to see you another day.""Come to my house next time, and at least have a meal with me," Arthur requested."Sure."Daisy felt completely ignored, and when she heard Arthur invite Yuna to his home, her eyes flashed with malice and jealousy.She'd never been acknowledged by Arthur, and even when she went to the Jenkins residence, it was only because Yvan brought her there. If Arthur had acknowledged her, she would have become Mrs. Jenkins by now. But sadly, that never happened.Arthur ordered, "Yvan, see Yuna out."Yvan frowned slightly, and Arthur seemed to sense his thoughts. He added, "Yuna i
With that, Yuna walked out of the elevator and left.Daisy didn’t follow her, still feeling uneasy from the way Yuna looked at her. She took a deep breath and reminded herself to stay calm. Even though Yuna had returned, alive and well, she just had to make sure she didn’t covet the title of Mrs. Jenkins. It was paramount for her to get married to Yvan as soon as possible.Yuna received the surveillance footage of that year from the hospital and the witness statements from Harry.“It took some effort to get those, and I’ve looked through them many times. There are no pictures of the motorcycle, and the person was wearing a helmet. Even when we followed the highway surveillance cameras, the person ended up in a rural area and we lost track of them completely.”After a pause, Harry asked, “Did you see the perpetrator’s face?”Yuna shook her head. Harry asked again, “Are you sure they made a call to Yvan?”She nodded. “Don’t you think it’s weird?”Yuna looked up at him as he an
Leona controlled her expression, not daring to look Yuna straight in the eye. Her head was lowered when she said, “I’m already in jail. What more do you want?”“Nothing, I just wanted to see if you were well.”Leona felt uncomfortable hearing that. “Leona, your daughter must be 24 now. She’s at just the right age to have a nice job, and a nice boyfriend to get married to. Do you need my help?”As soon as Yuna said that, Leona got worked up. She stood up abruptly with her hands on the glass windows and started pleading, “Ms. Feron, I’ve apologized and admitted my faults. My child doesn’t know anything and is innocent. I’m begging you, please don’t hurt her. I’m begging you.”“It seems like you haven’t ensured your daughter’s well-being before being brought here.”Leona kept apologizing, “Ms. Feron, I’m begging you. You can do whatever you want to me, but please don’t touch my daughter.”Yuna raised her eyebrows. “What are you saying?”Leona was about to collapse. “Ms. Feron, wh
In the afternoon, Natalie was fully armed as she took a cab to the private hospital, bringing her precious package with her. She had on a pair of kitty earphones and was wearing a satchel as she walked inside with small steps. Nathaniel spoke to her through her earphones. "Natalie, as soon as you're done, remember to come out immediately. I'll be waiting outside, alright?"“Okay, Nathaniel.”Natalie followed the address Nathaniel had given her and rode the elevator upstairs. She arrived outside of Herbert’s ward. “I found it, Nathaniel.”“Hold on.”In under a minute, Nathaniel had shut off the lights for the whole floor. Even the computers at the nurses' station were malfunctioning as chaos ensued.While everyone was distracted, Natalie took out a box from her satchel that contained a snake and threw it into Herbert’s ward. She giggled and escaped through the emergency exit. “I’m done, Nathaniel.”“Okay, I’ll wait for you.”Natalie held on to the wall and walked quickly do
Back in Bryndale, Natalie was standing in front of Nathaniel, who had his arms crossed angrily, with a guilty face. She grabbed onto his shirt cutely. “I’m sorry, Nathaniel. I switched off the earphones because I was just too happy to see Great-Grandpa.”“Do you know how dangerous that was?”“But I’m fine now, aren’t I?”“What if Great-Grandpa recognized you? Mommy wouldn’t be able to return home safely from Jefton State. Do you want us to have to move in with the Jenkins family with Mommy?” Nathaniel asked. Natalie shook her head. “Did you tell Great-Grandpa anything?” Natalie wanted to tell him she only told Great-Grandpa her name. Since there were many people with the same family name, it shouldn’t be a problem. But when faced with her brother, she cleverly decided to shake her head. “Great-Grandpa just thought I was a lost little girl. Nothing else.”"No more going off the rails next time.""Okay. I promise there won’t be a next time. So, did we succeed, Nathaniel?" she
Yvan was livid.Yuna continued, “Mr. Jenkins, were you sitting here and waiting just to tell me this?”Yvan took a deep breath. He couldn’t believe he stepped out of line because of a phone call. He said coldly, “Grandpa has something to tell you. You should see him in a couple of days.”Yuna lowered her gaze at that. “Okay. I’ll find time to see him. If there's nothing else, please leave.”He didn’t say anything else. He turned around to leave with a cold snort.At night, Yuna was about to leave for her meeting with Ashton but was held back by Mayson as soon as she left her office. “Yuna, everyone is waiting for you. Let’s go.”“Go where?” she asked curiously.“Mr. Jenkins’s dinner party. He asked us to attend. Didn’t Rosy tell you?”Yuna was surprised, but it seemed that Mayson was equally surprised at her reaction. “She didn’t tell you?”Yuna shook her head. “What time is Mr. Jenkins’s party?”“It starts at eight.” Mayson thought she was hesitating because of her identit
Donovan was threatened.Mayson pulled him down to his seat, giving him a cautionary look. At the same time, Yvan walked in as the doors to the private room opened, and the atmosphere changed with his arrival.Donovan stopped talking, while Yuna returned to her calm demeanor. When Yvan saw Yuna seated three seats away from the main seat, he frowned slightly. Once he took a seat, Mayson took a seat next to him with a smile.“Let’s start.” On Yvan’s orders, the servers brought in the day’s specials. “Please help yourselves. There's no need to hold back.”Hearing that, everyone forgot about the earlier incident and started to eat happily. Mayson poured a glass of wine and said to Yvan, “Mr. Jenkins, allow me to offer you a toast. I hope our partnership goes well.”Yvan raised his glass in response to Mayson’s, but his gaze was fixated on Yuna. She was on her phone the entire time, and his brows furrowed as he recalled her phone conversation this afternoon. Suddenly, Donavan confro
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
