"So you're planning to make your little situationship with Ashton official?" Yvan sneered. Yuna was weirded out by his question. "Mr. Jenkins, I don't think your question is relevant." "Answer me!" Yvan's stern tone startled Yuna, causing her to shudder. She furrowed her brows at Yvan, who seemed one step away from bursting into anger. "No." She didn't know why, but the denial slipped out of her mouth. She caught the change in Yvan's expression and averted her gaze. "My life doesn't revolve around men." With that, she pushed past Yvan and left the room. The dark expression on Yvan's face gradually faded away. When Yuna returned to the private room, the technical staff had already arrived. Daisy's heart was pounding, and she was distracted from asking about Yuna and Yvan's conversation. She watched as Yuna handed her phone to the staff. At the same time, Yvan entered the room. Daisy approached him shakily. "Yvan, do we really need to authenticate it? Can't you just trust
"Nonsense! Your relationship with Yuna has been publicized ages ago! And you even attended Darren's birthday party together last night. Everyone knows that you're dating." Daisy failed to notice how Yvan's face darkened at her words. Yuna gave her an indifferent look. Ashton, on the other hand, cocked an eyebrow and mused, "So having a few meals and attending a birthday party together means we're dating? You sure have a wild imagination, Ms. Bailey." "But ..." Daisy argued. "Daisy, can you please stop being an embarrassment?" Kiara couldn't bear to listen anymore. Yvan observed the two. If Yuna hadn't admitted that there was nothing between her and Ashton, he would have reacted differently. Instead, he composed himself and stated coldly, "Based on my investigation, your very good friend orchestrated the photos of you and Yuna. Care to explain?" Ashton's expression twisted, and he turned to Yuna apologetically. "Surra, I did plan to tell you this." Yuna nodded. "I know." Y
Upon hearing that, Daisy panicked instantly. "Jefton State is my home. And you're planning to send me abroad? Yvan, you promised you would take care of me forever." Yvan's gaze turned cold. "I will arrange for someone to take care of you abroad." "But I don't want to leave Jefton State," Daisy whined. "If you wanted to stay here, you should've listened and not done anything to disgust me. I have tolerated you time and time again, and solely because of the gratitude you once showed to the Jenkins family." Daisy bit her lips with tears streaming down her face. "You know perfectly well that I ..." "I have already told you everything that needs to be said. I won't remind you again." Yvan stood up, denying Daisy any chance to speak further. "Yvan? Yvan! Please don't go!" Daisy wanted to chase after him, but Michael blocked her. …Yuna followed Ashton to meet Darren. The three of them sat in a private corner of a cafe. Darren noticed the stern gaze they were giving him and o
Meanwhile, in Warton Kindergarten. The twins were hiding in a secluded corner, with Natalie keeping watch while Nathaniel dealt with matters. Natalie occasionally peeked past her brother's shoulder. "Are you done yet?" she asked. Nathaniel's gaze was focused on the computer screen. "Almost." Natalie noticed a few people walking over. "Hurry! Someone is coming this way." Nathaniel calmly finished the final step before shutting down the computer. "Alright, let's go." With that, Nathaniel took Natalie's hand, and they bent down and ran to the left. Natalie asked as they jogged, "Is everything done?" "Yeah." Nathaniel hummed. "Should we proceed with the postponed plan from half a month ago?" Natalie grew excited. "Let's do it. We can't rely on Aunt Kiara anymore." Nathaniel sighed. They initially thought Kiara would accidentally spill the beans to the Jenkins family by now. But she surprised them by keeping the secret well. They had no choice but to use Jackson instead.
The situation deescalated quickly. And there were hardly any articles left online. However, the news has already made its mark. Although it was taken off the internet, people were still talking about it. Herbert kept calling Yuna incessantly. As soon as she arrived home, Herbert immediately reprimanded Yuna, "Yuna, what's going on? How can you be involved with both Mr. Jenkins and Mr. Yale at the same time? You know very well you have a cooperation with Mr. Jenkins. Aren't you afraid he might call off the deal out of anger?" Cora snickered. "Why would she be worried about that? Her only concern is that she's enjoying herself. Being pampered by two men? How nice it must be for you." Yasmine chimed in, "Yuna, you're really something. How could you be so shameless? Do you have any idea how many calls Dad received today and how he was ridiculed because of you?" Herbert grew angrier at the reminder. "I demand an explanation!" Yuna frowned at them and muttered calmly, "Has it aff
Yuna chuckled. "Why are we on the topic of marriage? And this is all because of some senseless rumor? Aren't you afraid that this will be a misunderstanding?" Herbert returned to his senses by her words. However, Cora huffed. "Since the rumors are spreading like wildfire and the photos are real, are you saying nothing is going on between the three of you? If that were the case, where did all those photos come from? Yuna, if you just give them a little push, do you think they wouldn't pounce at the chance of having you? Why should we waste this opportunity? Who knows when another chance like this will come again?" Herbert was persuaded by her and furrowed his brows. "Your mother is right. Where there's smoke, there's fire. Even if you won't get married right now, as long as you choose one and nurture the relationship well, it's only a matter of time. Take Mr. Jenkins for example, you were previously married to him. It would be best if you could reconcile. And as for Mr. Yale ..."
Yuna didn't give Herbert a chance to speak again. Instead, she changed the topic. "By the way, even though I'm not active in the company right now, I still have some understanding of the company's situation. Dad, you really shouldn't focus on me. If things continue, the morale of the employees will drop. Will you be able to handle it when it happens?" "You!" Herbert gritted his teeth. "Last time, you asked me to handle things for Blake. I helped once. But if there's a next time, I won't care if you're my dad. Feron company's glory is thanks to my mother as well. I won't let her efforts go to waste." "Feron company is mine!" Herbert roared angrily. "Is that so?" Yuna smiled faintly. That smile made Herbert pause. Yuna huffed. "You don't look so good, Dad. It might be a good idea to pay the hospital a visit. Anyway, I have to go now. I have some work to attend to." With that, she turned and left gracefully. Herbert couldn't utter a single word. Yuna had hit the mark. His body
"Don't worry. I'll attend the meeting for that child so they won't find out about Natalie and Nathaniel," Kiara reassured her. Nevertheless, Yuna insisted on visiting Warton. She wanted to learn why Nathaniel had a fight with someone as soon as possible. Kiara and Yuna arrived at Warton one after another. But Yuna didn't enter immediately. Instead, she wore a face mask and cap as she made a call to Harry and the rest again. She had no idea that Benson, who was nearby, recognized her right away, even with her disguise. However, he didn't approach her or ask anything. Instead, he drove the car into the school. Yuna's call couldn't go through. When she raised her head, she only saw the back of a car entering the school. She didn't take notice of the license plate. Helpless, she could only send a text to Kiara so that she'd think of something to help her get into the school. Kiara was already sitting inside the office when she saw the text from Yuna. She immediately sent her assist
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
