Sherry nodded and agreed. "That's right, what you did is dangerous. Not only that, you two are adorable. What if someone wants to kidnap you and make you other people's children? You won't be able to see Aunty Sherry and Uncle Spencer anymore by then." The twin remained silent. They weren't scared by Sherry's words at all. If those people wanted to kidnap and sell them off, they would have to be capable enough to do so. Although that was what they were thinking about, they were smart enough to not show disobedience in front of the adults. Natalie blinked as she used her ultimate weapon. "Aunty Sherry, Nathaniel and I know what we did is wrong. We'll definitely not run off like this again." Nathaniel nodded in agreement. Seeing that, Harry said, "Since they know what they did is wrong, I think they won't do it again. Let's stop scolding them." Natalie added with a docile tone, "Yeah, Nathaniel and I won't do this again." Nathaniel nodded again. Yuna waved at them. "Alright
Yuna watched her two children. When she was with them, she always gave them what they wanted. Whether or not it was their birthday or hers, the three of them always spent it together. She was about to say she wouldn't celebrate her birthday this time, but thinking of how the two prepared a birthday gift for her, words stuck in Yuna's mouth. If she sent them abroad right now, wouldn't they get really sad? They were the most precious existence to Yuna. Naturally, she couldn't bear to see them disappointed and sad. Seeing how Yuna was having doubts now, Nathaniel sent a look to Natalie in secret. After getting the signal, Natalie approached Yuna and went into her arms. "Mommy, Nathaniel and I want to spend your birthday with you. Promise you'll only send us abroad after the birthday, okay?" Nathaniel said, "Mommy, your birthday is in just a few days. Why don't we just stay at home and keep Mommy company? We won't go to school." Natalie nodded. "Yeah, we want to stay with Mommy
When Yuna was rushing to the research center, Kiara kindly notified her brother about the situation as soon as possible. "My bad brother, don't blame me for not giving you a chance. Aren't you a sponsor of the West Drew Institute? Why don't you know about the problem Yuna's having over there? She's heading back to the research center to discuss this with the president. It sounds like there's a problem with her contract with the research center." As she spoke, Kiara complained, "Be more considerate, will you?" After half an hour, Yuna was seated in the biggest meeting room in the research center. This was also her first time facing all the higher-ups of the research center. Although she was all alone, she was fearless. These people were somewhat afraid of her status anyway. The president spoke up first, "Surra, we've discussed this ourselves. You clearly know how you have been negatively affecting the whole of West Drew Institute. Even if you succeed in completing the project, w
Everyone instantly held their breath the moment they heard that. Indeed, they never thought of reaching out to Yvan regarding this matter. His sudden appearance caught all of them off guard. Almost everyone present had already stood up, but Yuna was the only one still seated, not moving an inch. Although she was also curious how Yvan arrived just in time, she already had some guesses. She simply watched them in silence. With an awkward smile, there was a hint of fear in the president's eyes. He said, "It's all a misunderstanding, Mr. Jenkins. We just didn't want to bother you with something so minor." Yuna chuckled and said, "Something minor? Does that mean you consider this a minor matter?" Her words instantly made the atmosphere turn even colder. Yvan turned and looked at Yuna. "What's the matter?" he asked. Seeing how he directed the question to Yuna, everyone became ill at ease again. The president quickly explained, "Mr. Jenkins, for this matter—" "I don't need you t
Finally, the president signed a new contract with Yuna, which took immediate effect. Yuna's cold eyes scanned across these authorities who were now terrified by Yvan. Without another word, she turned around and left. She eventually decided to give Rose the power to finish up the last part of their project. She could just guide them online, working from home. When she got out of the research center, Yvan's Maybach was already parked right in front of her. "Get in." "I've called a cab," Yuna said. "But I saved you just now. What? Are you going to turn against me this soon?" Yvan fired back. "Get in. Don't make me repeat myself." Pursing her lips, Yuna had no choice but to get into the passenger seat, and the car sped off. Yvan was driving, but his eyes would rest on her occasionally. He asked with a frown, "Why didn't you tell me right away when something like that happened?" Calmly, Yuna replied, "I could handle it myself." Yvan snickered. "By talking it out with all o
Yuna moved away her suspecting gaze without another word. She merely lowered her head and read the document in her hand. Yvan's eyes were still narrowed, not moving his gaze away from her even for a second. Feeling uncomfortable being watched by him, Yuna had no choice but to speak up. "When we reach a certain age, our bodies wouldn't be able to work as hard as we used to. So you don't have to be bothered by what I said just now." "Really?" "Of course." Yuna nodded ever so genuinely. "But it's right to take some rest in between work." Yvan didn't argue with her further. Right then, Michael entered with some coffee and afternoon snacks. He felt at ease when he sensed nothing bad was going on between the two. After placing the drinks and food on the table, he left. During the break, Yuna didn't try to go into personal topics with Yvan. She focused on the contents of the document the whole time. Yvan, on the other hand, would steal a few glances at her every now and then. Havi
Yuna paused for a second. There was a look of surprise on her face. Yvan's expression didn't change. "I'm saying that so you won't keep giving me strange looks all the time. I can't focus on work." Yuna wondered if she didn't manage to control her facial expressions well enough. "What? Now that I'm giving you a chance, you don't want to ask any questions? Do you enjoy making assumptions?" Yvan shot her with rapid-fire questions. Yuna felt as if Yvan had seen through her. Indeed, she was going to think about it herself. Maybe if it piqued her interest again, she'd ask Kiara about it. "Did you have a fight with Daisy?" she asked, her face tense. "No." Hearing that answer, Yuna thought that she had, in fact, been overthinking. "Why would we fight if we're not even in a relationship?" Yvan asked her. Yuna felt a mix of emotions when she heard that. It seemed like she might be misinterpreting the situation, but was there any other way to understand it? Were Yvan and Yuna
Yuna knew that there was food at Golden Prestige, but she didn't think that Yvan would bring her there for supper. Besides, there were all sorts of people in the place. Wouldn't that make it easier to expose them? As Yuna followed Yvan inside, she tried to lower her head as much as possible, not wanting anyone to see her face. Yvan noticed her trying to act discreetly and sighed. He grabbed her arm and went straight into an elevator, which took them to the fifth floor. When the door was opened, Yuna found the place familiar. It was Gabriel's private lounge area. Instantly, Yuna relaxed a little, and she followed Yvan inside. Gabriel and Lucian were chatting away. Gabriel happily downed a mouthful of his drink, but he spat it all out the moment he saw Yvan and Yuna. Lucian waved them over with a smile when he saw them appearing together. "Ah, we're having quite the unexpected guest." Yvan sat down and said, "Ask your men to serve us supper." Gabriel wiped his mouth and quick
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
