"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
Yuna watched as he raised his champagne glass, his face showing nothing but sincerity. Yvan's hand, raising the glass, never went down. He said, "Can you let go of what happened back then for now? I just want to celebrate your birthday." Without a word, Yuna raised her glass and clinked it with his. She took a sip and said, "Thank you." Not long after that, the waiter served them their food, even placing a delicate mini cake in the center. Right then, Yvan took out a lighter and lit the candle. "Make a wish." Yuna didn't want to ruin the peaceful and beautiful moment they were having. She closed her eyes and made a wish. Yvan stared at her in silence, a smile appearing on his face. When Yuna opened her eyes again, he returned to his usual expression. He said, "Don't let my preparation go to waste. You have to finish this." Yuna glanced at the mini cake and said, "I won't be able to finish the whole cake by myself. Let's split it in half." "Have you ever seen me eating d
Although she felt Yvan was acting strangely that night, Yuna didn't mention it. She simply ate the cake in front of her. Suddenly, Yvan raised his glass. "I wish you a happy birthday." This time, Yuna didn't hesitate. After the toast, she downed the glass of champagne. Seeing her reaction, Yvan seemed delighted. He placed the glass down and asked, "Now that you've left West Drew, what are your plans?" "Do you still want to have a collaborative research project with me? If so, I'm afraid I can't do that. For the next month or two, I'll be pausing any work with the research centers," Yuna reported honestly. "So it's true that you plan to work with the Feron company?" "Yeah." Yuna nodded and eyed Yvan suspiciously. Unbothered, Yvan met her gaze. "Although you're holding thirty percent of the company shares, it would be hard for you to safely set foot in the Feron company." "You don't have to worry about that. I'll deal with it myself." "Are you not going to accept my hel
The moment she heard the question, Yuna broke out in a cold sweat, but Yvan had a playful smile on his lips. "What? I'm just asking you a question. But you seem extremely nervous." At that moment, Yuna wondered if Yvan had found out about something. Was that why he was trying to get information out of her? "There's no need for you to be nervous. Since we're sitting here, of course, we should have a chat. We can't be here talking about the unhappy events from seven years ago, can we?" Scrunching up her brow, Yuna said, "Whether or not it's about the events from seven years ago or about my children, I don't feel like talking about it with you. That's if you want to have a peaceful conversation with me." "What exactly are you afraid of?" Yvan frowned. "Do you actually think I'll do something to your children?" "Who knows?" "Yuna Feron." Yvan's patience seemed to have been used up. "What kind of person do you think I am?" "Mr. Jenkins, how do you think I should view you then?
There was a flash of unknown emotions in Yvan's eyes when he heard that, but Yuna spoke with her usual tone, "Sherry and Harry are the only ones I share close interactions with. There's nobody else." Yvan found out about that too, but he felt somewhat bitter seeing how she said that in such a relaxed manner. After he had a last puff of the cigarette, he said, "Apart from Sherry and Harry, did you really not interact with anybody else? What about the Feron family and the Jenkins family? Aren't they humans too?" Yuna said, "If that's the case, the scope would be much wider." "You can try to think of people who disliked you." "You're wrong about that." Yuna instantly denied that possibility. "Back then, the culprit made a call right in front of me. He said your name," she blurted out.With that said, the look on Yvan's face completely changed, while Yuna's face became tense. She realized that she said something she shouldn't. Yvan narrowed his eyes. When he saw she was about to
Yvan was laughing out of anger as he nodded. He wasn't angry at Yuna. He was angry at this person, who not only wanted Yuna dead but even wanted to create a rift between Yuna and him, which caused a huge misunderstanding. Now, he became even more curious as to who was behind the accident. Yuna went back to the topic at hand and continued, "Now that we know that person mentioned Mr. Jenkins on purpose, he was definitely trying to make me think of you at that moment and led me to misunderstand you. Perhaps that person didn't really want me dead. They just wanted to frame you. Instead of having something against me, maybe they had something against you." At that moment, Yvan became deep in thought. Yuna felt that she wasn't wrong. "Do you think what I said wasn't right?" Yvan stared at her with a serious look. "If the culprit was actually calling someone who went by Mr. Jenkins, do you know that we have a lot of people called Mr. Jenkins in the Jenkins family? Not only that, our f
After she sent out that text, Yuna stood before the mirror and regained her composure. Yvan had been acting too strangely tonight. She had to be more careful to stop him from getting information out of her. Once she got hold of herself, Yuna went back upstairs. This time, she asked as she sat down, "Mr. Jenkins, you can ask them to dock the cruise now, can't you?" "Okay." Hearing that, Yuna stared at Yuna, looking slightly shocked. She could only watch him maintain a cool face without much facial expression. And the cruise went near the riverside. Was he really going to let her go just like that? Yuna didn't say anything more, for fear that she wouldn't be able to control her mouth, causing Yvan to change his mind. When the cruise finally docked, Yuna, who was anxious to leave, quickly picked up her things and got up. Seeing how desperate she seemed, Yvan was displeased but didn't show it. When they reached the shore, Yuna felt more at ease. She took the initiative and said,
In that instant, Yuna's heart sank, and her face paled. Kiara grabbed her arm and reassured her, "When my brother was about to check the surveillance cameras, the school contacted me right away. So I asked the people to destroy the footage right there. Yvan probably didn't manage to see it in time." "Really?" "Yeah, really." Kiara nodded firmly. "I came to tell you that you guessed it right back then. That brat is already suspecting Natalie and Nathaniel's identities now. You're making the smart choice by sending them abroad. To stop that brat from investigating the two kids with other ways after this, you should send them abroad as soon as possible." Kiara's words made Yuna want to send Natalie and Nathaniel abroad as soon as she could. "Alright, I got it." She suddenly recalled. "When did Yvan check the surveillance footage?" "Yesterday." Yesterday? Yuna then recalled what happened last night. She reassured herself that Yvan only prepared the cruise probably because h
