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
Yuna shook her head. "We won't be staying here for long. After all, Mommy has been focusing on her work abroad. But it doesn't matter to have a house here either. If you guys want to come and have fun in Jefton State, at least we'll have a place to stay, won't we?" Watching Yuna's gaze, Nathaniel knew that she wasn't lying. "Nathaniel, do you like living in Jefton State?" Yuna thought that was the reason he asked. But Nathaniel shook his head. "I don't like or dislike this place. I'll like whichever place Mommy goes." Yuna ruffled his head. She knew she shouldn't be lying to her children, but this reason seemed to be the most suitable one for now. Yuna didn't stay for long. She left with the excuse that she had to deal with some matters at the research center. Natalie and Nathaniel didn't throw a fit. On the contrary, they sat in the room with Natalie snacking on something. "Is Mommy lying to us?" Nathaniel said, "You've become smarter." Natalie thought her brother was
With a light smile, Lucian took the teaspoon and stirred his coffee. He said patiently, "Although I sound like I'm guilt-tripping you, this is what I've noticed these few days. Ever since you came back, Yvan's migraine attacks have decreased substantially. It would be great news for him if he could stop using the painkillers completely. This is just like the night before yesterday when Yvan personally rang me up to ask me when you were sick. I think your condition has persisted for quite a while too. You must also be taking painkillers often, so you know how bad it is for your body to take a lot of painkillers." Yuna heard another important piece of information out of his words. She asked in shock, "Yvan called you the night before yesterday?" Lucian pretended to be surprised. "You didn't know? Oh, I think you wouldn't have known. After all, I heard that you were in a lot of pain. Yvan mainly asked me if there's any other way than taking painkillers to help you, so I taught him how
The moment a picture appeared on the screen, Yuna hit the brake hard. The car stopped at the roadside alarmingly. She immediately grabbed her phone to check the picture. In the picture, Kiara was tied up in a fully-enclosed room, her mouth taped shut, and she was blindfolded. "What's going on?" she wondered in panic. Looking at the string of numbers on the text message, she was about to call that texter. To her surprise, that person called her first. "Who are you?" "Do you want to save her?" Yuna regained her composure. She pressed the speaker and recording button. She was even about to forward the picture and phone number to Yvan. "Are you trying to ask for help?" The person's voice was ghostlike. It made Yuna's hand pause in her movement. "Don't you dare think I'm just scaring you with a picture. If you dare to ask for help, I'll cut off one of her arms right now." "Why should I believe that she's actually in your hands?" Gritting her teeth, Yuna asked calmly. "We
