Yvan stared at him. "Why would she want to keep her distance?" "She's married and even has kids now," Lucian explained. "People would misunderstand if she keeps lingering around you." Gabriel quickly added, "It seems that the news of Yuna having children hasn't gotten out yet, right?" Lucian argued, "But that will happen sooner or later. At least that's how she's feeling now, and obviously, she would stay away from Yvan." After that, he asked, "Have you investigated the kids yet?" Yvan didn't say anything. Seeing his reaction, Lucian yelled in shock, "Don't tell me you're not planning to investigate anymore. Aren't you curious whether those kids are yours?" Yvan merely drank his alcohol. "Forget it. I thought you'd find out about it sooner than me. If that's the case, I'll investigate it for you. I'll tell you the results the day after tomorrow." Still silent, Yvan gave his permission without a word. …The day after Lucian gave his promise, he visited Sherry's photo
What she said rendered Lucian speechless. "Ms. Scott, don't be upset. There must be some sort of misunderstanding." Lucian raised both his hands in surrender, looking sincere. "Why would I believe you? Rich people like you enjoy doing this sort of meaningless stuff. You'd never consider other people's feelings as long as it makes you happy. It's a trait that all of you big shots share!" Sherry was so mad that she didn't bother to watch her words. Lucian didn't know whether to cry or laugh. "Ms. Scott, we're at your photo studio now." Hearing that, Sherry then looked around. Her workers were staring at her. Feeling it was the right moment, Lucian said, "Why don't we find a place to sit down and chat? I'm a friend of Yvan's, so I know more about his side of the story. I can tell you what I know." "Why are you doing this?" He shrugged. "Yuna is now a friend of mine too. I can't just watch two of my friends being in such a tense relationship. We're all adults now, so why make
"As per your request, I haven't done anything yet except silently observing your father's actions." With a serious look, Liam said, "Your father is indeed plotting something in secret." Yuna wasn't surprised when she heard that. She now held thirty percent of the company shares, and with Blake's recent action causing the shareholders to lose faith in him, Herbert had to make some preparations for his son. Besides, Herbert had been surprisingly silent for the time being. He never asked to meet her. There must be something going on, seeing how silent he was. "That's expected. He must be focusing on Blake right now. He's also probably thinking of how to steal my shares," Yuna said. "I've settled everything for you, so you can return to the company anytime." Liam forked some food and placed it on her plate. "Is your work at the research center done?" "Yes, it's all done. I'll prepare myself to return to the company soon." Yuna raised her wine glass. "Thanks for helping me out, Uncl
Yuna's shoulder slumped. "Okay. Tell me what he told you." Sherry instantly became enthusiastic as she started talking. "Yuna, do you know that when the news of your death got out seven years ago, your father immediately arranged for your cremation?" "Yes." "Back then, your body hadn't even turned cold, but he already sent it for cremation. When Yvan found out, he even wanted to investigate it for your sake. Don't you think it's strange? Even if he really wanted you to rest in peace under the earth, why was he in such a rush? Have you thought about this before?" Yuna furrowed her brow. As a matter of fact, she had considered it. "We've been searching for the culprit and the person behind this, but we've never considered what kind of role your father played in that incident." Yuna just stared at her. Sherry added, "I know what you're going to say, but—" "No. Was Lucian Storm the one who told you this?" She nodded. Yuna had a serene look as she said, "Yeah, Lucian Storm
Yuna chuckled and said, "I don't blame you. Dr. Storm has always been good at talking. Besides, what he said is logical and does make sense." However, Sherry was furious. "Even if that's the case, he tries to cover up all the bad things Yvan did and brainwash me to talk to you. I can't take this. The next time I see him, I'll beat him into a pulp!" Yuna patted her shoulder to comfort her. After regaining her composure, Sherry suddenly thought of something. "So you actually knew about the relationship between Yvan Jenkins and Daisy Bailey before this?" Yuna nodded. "Yeah, but it has nothing to do with me, right?" Sherry agreed. "Yeah, you and Yvan Jenkins have already divorced. Whether or not he has a real or fake girlfriend has nothing to do with you." Although Yuna nodded in agreement, she felt an inexplicable throb in her chest. She tried her best to hide the strange feeling growing inside her. After the chat, Sherry suggested that they should discuss it with Harry as wel
Yuna grabbed the agreement from the side. After briefly looking at it, she signed it swiftly. "Then, I hope you can show some results soon." "Thank you for your understanding. If there's anything, you can reach me through the contact info on the name card. I'll let you know right away when I find something." "Alright, that will do." Jeremiah took the agreement before he got up and left. When he was gone, Sherry grabbed Yuna's shoulder and shook it. "Can we trust him? Why do I feel like something's off?" "We'll know after we test it out. Don't worry." With a frown, Harry said, "We should be more careful, no matter what. I'll do my best to investigate that man Jeremiah Xavier's background too." Yuna nodded. Meanwhile, Jeremiah, who had already left, was now sitting in a car. He called a number, but it took a while before the other person picked it up. The moment Jeremiah started to speak, his tone changed completely from before. "I've taken care of the matter for you, kid
Hearing that, Yuna teased him, "Now that's your fault, Spencer. When you have to work, you actually used Natalie and Nathaniel as an excuse to slack off." Natalie raised her head and said, "Uncle Spencer, if you don't work hard and earn money, you can't buy me pets anymore." Spencer pinched her cheeks. "Uncle Spencer can buy you pets even if he doesn't work for another ten years." "I won't look good anymore if you pinch my cheeks and they get swollen!" Natalie pouted and said, "Paige said I can be a child star." "Ah!" Spencer looked at Paige with a smile. "Alright, Paige. You're trying to get my niece to become a child star." Paige raised her brow proudly. "Look at how good-looking both Natalie and Nathaniel are. If they can become child stars, I won't even have to sign other artists for the rest of my life. It'd be enough to take care of them, and it would be much easier than taking care of you." "Don't worry, Surra will never allow it." Unfazed, Paige shrugged. "I'm not
"So, are you not going to come down?" Instead of doing or saying anything after hearing Yuna's complaint, Yvan merely asked again. Yuna felt helpless when she heard his answer. "Is there anything you need from me?" "If I can tell you through the phone, would I have put in effort to drive all over here?" That instantly rendered Yuna speechless."For the third time, come downstairs," Yvan rushed her with that arrogant tone again. Yuna reluctantly gave in. After getting changed, she left some words for Aunty Lucy before heading downstairs. She saw Yvan smoking in the driver's seat. Taking a deep breath, she sat in the passenger seat. Yvan furrowed brow relaxed the moment he saw her. He threw the cigarette on the ashtray before driving off. The car moved slowly on the road. Yuna glanced at him and asked, "Where are you taking me to?" "You'll know when we get there." "Then, why do you need to meet me? Is it about the product release?" "Why would I talk about work with you
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
