"65%," Yuna replied honestly. "Seems like you're finishing up soon, then." Mayson was satisfied with the progress. "When this project succeeds, West Drew Institute's reputation will be improved as well, and it's all thanks to you. Hang in there, Yuna. Please tolerate Mr. Jenkins. Although you were once husband and wife, you're not related to each other now anymore after all. Personally, I think the fact that you took over this project means you'll be professional enough to separate personal issues from work. That's why I have faith in you. I also hope that you can keep this up. Alright?" "Yes, I understand." Yuna could tell that Mayson still hadn't gotten to the main point. What a lengthy foreshadowing. "Alright, you should get back to work in peace now." Hearing that, Yuna narrowed her eyes slightly. She thought Mayson would get to the main point after this, not expecting him to send her back at all. "Is there anything you want to talk to me about, Yuna?" Mayson asked curi
With his arms crossed, Spencer was wearing a cap and a face mask. He leaned against the corner of the elevator and said calmly, "Even if he's looking for me just because of Surra's matter, it would have nothing to do with you, Paisley." He lowered his voice so that only Paisley could hear. Hearing his words did not calm Paisley down; instead, it sent her into more panic. "Have you forgotten that you're now associated with his ex-wife? What if he makes things hard for you by then?" "As my main sponsor, the most he would do is try to suppress my career here. Then I'll just not work here anymore and go abroad." "You!" Paisley reached out and pinched his ears hard. "Watch your mouth later, okay? Try not to cause any trouble. Even if you don't care about yourself, you have to think about Surra, Natalie, and Nathaniel too. Got that?" "I got it, I got it." The elevator door was finally opened. They arrived right at Yvan's office. Paisley and his other assistant were stopped there,
Instantly, the atmosphere in the office turned cold. Yvan wasn't affected by Spencer's words. Instead, he asked, "So do you know your wife well?" "At least better than you do." "I hope you'll still be able to talk as calmly as you are now to me the next time we meet." "Alright." Spencer took his transaction history document. "I won't disturb you from work anymore then. Do contact my manager if you plan to terminate my contract." With that, he turned and left. Meanwhile, Yvan stared at his back with a meaningful look. He thought about what Spencer had said. He balled up his fists. How did he treat Yuna two years ago? …After Yuna got off from work, she opened the document when she was finally free. There was information about a specific person inside. Oliver Lewis, 28 years old, a part-time racer, an orphan, and so on. After staring at the documents for a while, she read the last two pieces of information. Oliver and Daisy had been classmates ever since middle school, a
Ignoring Sherry's persistent questioning, Yuna hung up the call as she calmly faced the aggressive woman across from her. "I'm asking you, are you Yuna Feron?" "Who are you then?" Yuna asked. The woman stood in front of her arrogantly and said with pride, "I'm Molly Yale, Ashton's sister." Hearing that, Yuna was slightly taken aback. "Is there anything you need from me, Miss Yale?" Molly sized her up and snickered. "I have to admit that you do look quite appealing. But no matter how attractive you are, you're still a divorcee. What makes you think you have the right to lure my brother? You're unlucky enough to bump into me today. Stay away from my brother. You'll never get to marry into the Yale family." Yuna finally understood what she meant. She answered calmly, "Don't worry, I have nothing to do with your brother. We're just normal friends." "Normal friends? You're drawing a line now, but after this, you'll stick around my brother again." Molly was persistent as she
Yuna nearly slammed on the brakes from the news. Sherry sensed something was wrong and added, "Don't worry, they weren't discovered. It's just that I heard from Miss Jenkins that Arthur did investigate the kids before. Now that I think of it, didn't Benson know Natalie's name right away when he was at school?" When she said that, Yuna felt something was weird too. "Yuna, did they find out about the kids from early on?" Sherry asked worriedly. "Probably not. If they really did, Grandpa Jenkins would have asked to meet and ask me about it." Although Yuna said that firmly, she still felt something was wrong. "It's okay. It's all good as long as they're not seen by Grandpa Jenkins yet for now. I'll investigate the rest of the matter." Hanging up on the call, Yuna stayed dumbfounded for a few seconds before starting the car and heading toward Birchwood Heights. She already possessed the clue about Oliver Lewis, but she still wanted to find out if Yvan's clue was the same as hers.
Seeing how she was defending her man, fury filled his eyes as he tried to suppress it. He said, "His profile says that he's unmarried, so he breached the term of fraud." Yuna had nothing to say after hearing his words. She had caused Spencer to lose his job as an ambassador. "Yuna, back when we were married, you were thinking of all sorts of ways like this to get close to me. Now that you're remarried, you're still being so considerate of men. Why don't you care about yourself for once?" Yvan said with slight anger. "It seems to be none of your business as to how I do things or live my life." Unaffected, Yuna replied. "Do you think I want to control how you live your life?" "Then why are you saying all of these?" Yuna retorted. Placing down his cutleries, the anger Yvan had been suppressing for a long time finally exploded. "If you really want nothing to do with me, you shouldn't have returned to Jefton State. Just live a secret life abroad with your man." Yuna was shocke
In the middle of the night, Yvan sat in the study. All the pictures Michael sent over were about Yuna's life abroad with Spencer and the two children. Staring at the pictures for a few moments, he frowned slightly and asked, "Why are there no pictures of the kids' full faces?" Michael explained, "Spencer did a thorough job at protecting their privacy, so we still can't find any front pictures of the children. Mr. Jenkins, do you want to see the two children? If you do, I can visit Warton tomorrow." "There's no need for that." Yvan was not interested in meeting the children Yuna had with another man. Tossing the pictures onto the table in disdain, he asked, "So their relationship is genuine?" Although Miachel didn't want to admit this, he still nodded. "It's real." "You can leave now." Michael immediately kept the pictures and brought them away. Yvan sat there, deep in thought. He felt that something was weird, but he couldn't find any clues. Perhaps he would have to do it
"Give me that!" Yvan commanded. Seeing the darkness in his eyes, Yuna remained silent for a few moments and finally passed him the medicine. He swallowed the painkillers without water, wrapped himself with a blanket, and showed his back to her. He endured the pain all by himself. Watching it made Yuna recall what happened last night. They seemed to be sharing the same sad fate. It was her who was in pain last night, but today was his turn. Yuna wanted to leave. After all, Yvan could still take the medicine. However, without knowing why, she didn't want to leave. In fact, she wanted to find out what was going on with Yvan. She went to the bedside, lowered her body, and asked, "Are you feeling better? Do you need to eat anything? I can make it for you. Why don't you let me call Dr. Storm to come check up on you? Or is it that … Ah!" Followed by Yuna's shriek, Yvan's arm snatched her waist as he dragged her onto the bed. Yuna's body fell hard onto the bed. Before she could even
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
