"Come to the second room on the second floor. I have something for you. It's about Thornbeak Hill." Once Yuna saw those texts, her face grew serious. Yvan had been getting better at playing tricks on her. He kept her guessing and drew her to him. "After you're done eating, just wait for me in the car. I'll come down after a few minutes." Yuna didn't leave much explanation. She got up and went to the second floor. She opened the door to the private room on the second floor. She saw Yvan, Lucian, and Gabriel sitting inside. Gabriel was more welcoming than usual. "Yuna, what a coincidence! You're here too!" Yuna was curious as to how this could be so coincidental as well. She smiled at Gabriel and walked into the room. Calm and composed, she stared at Yvan. "Mr. Jenkins, what do you want to tell me about Thornbeak Hill?" Lucian and Gabriel exchanged a look. They stayed quiet. Yvan seemed to be used to her indifferent attitude. He merely asked Michael to hand over the fil
"Good morning, Mommy." Natalie waved at her. Her mouth was stuffed with food. Tossing a glance at the video call, Nathaniel continued to eat. Yuna could tell that Nathaniel was still upset with her. Still, she put on a gentle smile. "Natalie, Nathaniel, listen to Aunty Reina and be good. Mommy will be back soon, okay?" "Okay, Mommy has to take care of herself too. Nathaniel and I are going to finish our breakfast and head to school later." "Alright." After ending the video call, Yuna released a heavy sigh. The twins seemed to be really bothered by her sending them off so suddenly. She had to think of a way to have them forgive her. Yuna thought for a while before sending some texts to her seniors over there to help her out. After that, Yuna went up to her bed and read her documents. Not long after, her doorbell rang. Yuna looked at the time. She thought she had heard it wrong. How could someone be knocking at her door at a time like this? Besides, there weren't ma
"What is this?" Yuna didn't accept it immediately. Arthur stuffed it into her hands. "Just sign it. Even if you and Yvan aren't married anymore, and the children bear your surname, they're still the great-grandchildren of the Jenkins family. You deserve every single penny here." Kiara supported him. "Yuna, just accept it. Grandpa wants you to have it." With confusion, Yuna opened the documents. To her astonishment, it was the TN Group shares transfer agreement. She felt like she shouldn't be holding it. She immediately stuffed it back into Arthur's hands. "I can't accept it. I have enough to provide for them their whole lives. I don't need anything else. Besides, I never thought of letting the Jenkins know about their existence when I returned to Jefton state. I didn't want you to take responsibility for them." "You've misunderstood me." Arthur placed the agreement into Yuna's hand again. "You have your own reasons, and I have mine. Since I can't bring them to the Jenkins resid
Someone nodded in agreement. "Mr. Feron is lucky to have such a good daughter like you." "But I don't think we can fully trust you since you just started working." Out of nowhere, a man brought up something out of topic. It instantly made the atmosphere in the private room awkward. The man who spoke chuckled. "Are you upset hearing this? Or have you not thought of how to resolve my doubts yet?" Everyone else exchanged looks with each other. Yuna knew better than anyone that the only reason they could all sit and talk with her politely was because of Yvan. However, she'd convince them of her capabilities in her own way. With a relaxed smile, Yuna looked at that man as she said, "It's natural for you to raise such doubts, Mr. Snell. Everyone in the industry knows I'm new. It's normal to doubt my capability and experience. But if I'm not confident about my abilities, I wouldn't be sitting here with all of you. After all, pretending to be someone I'm not would eventually back
Narrowing his eyes, Mr. Snell watched the sincere look on Yuna's face. To his surprise, he couldn't guess what she was thinking. However, he didn't show it. Raising his glass mechanically, he told Yuna, "Everything I said wasn't a waste of effort then, seeing how you understood what I meant. You're too young, after all. There are still things you don't know. And you've just entered this industry too. Of course, I believe you'll become as capable as Mr. Jenkins, but that requires luck and ability, doesn't it?" It was clear in his words that he was warning Yuna not to be arrogant. She'd never be just as good as Yvan. Yuna nodded with a smile. "Indeed, nobody can surpass Mr. Jenkins' talent. But everybody has their own strengths. I believe I will succeed one day." The atmosphere was still tense. With a half-smile, Mr. Snell said, "I look forward to your performance." Mr. Snell's final decision was obvious. Yuna remained smiling as she faced Mr. Snell's attacks. However, a
Yvan flicked his cigarette. He paid no attention to Yuna's hints at all. His stance was firm in others' eyes. Yvan was determined to support Yuna's debut in the industry. Everyone knew about this well enough. After all, they agreed to attend Yuna's dinner because of Yvan's assistant. He had called them about it in advance. Yuna had no say in it at all. For the rest of the dinner, Yvan dealt with everyone while sitting at the side. After some time, Yuna noticed something. Yvan would never have talked so much at any dinner in the past. Was he doing it to impress her? With that thought, she stared at Yvan with even greater surprise. There were only the two of them left when the dinner was finally over. Only then did Yuna dare to speak up. "I know that you want me to have the Thornbeak project. But aren't you doing everything for me right now?" "Do you think I'm doing this for your sake?" Yuna stared at him quietly. Yvan lit another cigarette. "Did you hear how I spoke just
With a ding, the elevator door was opened. Yvan and Yuna walked out of the elevator one after another. They came face to face with Daisy and her few friends. "Yvan?" Daisy was overjoyed when she saw Yvan. It had been so long since she last met him. She wouldn't have stayed home obediently if it wasn't to stop Yvan from sending her out of the country. But she immediately noticed Yuna standing beside Yvan. Daisy's eyes filled with hatred. Quickly averting her eyes, she stood in front of Yvan. "Yvan, did you have a meal here?" After asking that question, Daisy suddenly realized what was going on. She then said with understanding, "I heard that Yuna has returned to work at the Feron company. You're probably here with Yuna to talk about work. I won't disturb you then." After that, Daisy moved to the side voluntarily. Without saying anything, Yvan merely walked ahead. Yuna gave Daisy a meaningful look before following him. Right then, Daisy's friends surrounded her. "What's
Yuna entered the CEO's office. She saw Herbert and Blake inside. Blake sat on the couch. He looked high and mighty. The moment he saw Yuna, he said with an odd tone, "Oh, look who's here, walking like she owns the place." He placed his hands on his thighs and tilted his head. His eyes were filled with disdain and mockery. "Yuna, I've underestimated you. You really know how to get your job done even when you're new here." "Watch your tone!" Herbert scolded him mechanically. He then looked at Yuna with a frown. "I heard you got the Thornbeak project with Yvan's help." "Yeah." Yuna didn't hide anything. Herbert pretended to be happy as he said, "So Yvan does have a conscience. He's helping us out this time since our families were in-laws back then." When Yuna heard that, she smiled coldly. She didn't speak a word. She waited for Herbert to say something more. "I also heard something else. Yvan invested a hundred million dollars in our company, didn't he?" Herbert said. There
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
