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
Unfazed, Yuna stood before Blake. She mocked him, "Blake, have you forgotten about what you and Lester did in Mr. Fisher's club?" That immediately stirred him up. She continued, "Everyone in the Jefton State knows how close Mr. Fisher and Mr. Jenkins are. After Mr. Fisher blacklisted you, do you think Mr. Jenkins will no longer care about it? All because he wanted to make some money? Mr. Jenkins sponsored the Feron company because of my previous partnership with him." At that point, Yuna glanced at Herbert again. Herbert seemed solemn and concerned. She smiled coldly and said, "You want me not to be in charge of the Thornbeak project? Fine. But can you guarantee that Mr. Jenkins would still invest in the company, Dad?" It wasn't something Herbert could guarantee. He knew better than anyone that Yuna was the only reason Yvan would help the company. That was why he couldn't afford to risk doing that. "If that's the case, you'll be in charge of this project. But just to be saf
Blake was thrown onto the floor with a resounding thud. He struggled to get up. His face contorted in pain. "Vince Lawson, how dare you! Who do you think you are?" Vince knitted his brow together, and his face remained impassive. "I was defending myself, Mr. Blake," he said. Blake clenched his teeth and stood before him. He pointed at Vince's throat. "I'll kick you out of the company!" Vince wasn't threatened at all. "I work for Ms. Feron. Only she has the authority to ask me to leave the company. You don't." Blake cursed out loud. He was about to fight him when Yuna came out of the office. She immediately yelled to stop him when she saw what was going on. "Blake Feron, did you come here just to fight my assistant? Are you putting on a show?" Blake didn't get to land that punch once he heard her. "Yuna, you asked Vince Lawson to hit me, didn't you?" Blake was like a mad dog right now. He would bite anyone he saw. Yuna raised her eyebrow and stared at him. "Would I be a
"Ms. Feron?" Vince whispered. He stood cautiously by her side. Yuna averted her eyes. She knew Yvan wouldn't be here waiting for her for no reason. "You can go back first, Vince." Hearing that, Vince could only nod. Yuna slowly walked toward the car. She watched as Yvan got out of the backseat and sat in the driver's seat. He also said, "Sit at the front." She had no choice but to open the door to the front passenger seat and get in. A few seconds later, Yvan started the car and drove away. He was looking at the rearview mirror, watching Vince. Vince stood there without moving for a long while. There was a hint of coldness flashing through his eyes. Shifting his eyes away quietly, he stared ahead. Yuna only raised a question when the car stopped to wait for the light to turn green. "Is there anything you want me to know about Thornbeak Hill, Mr. Jenkins?" "Best if we don't talk about it in the car." When the light turned green, the car turned left. Ten minutes late
