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
Yuna thought she could leave, seeing Yvan almost finished with his food. However, the waiter brought two plates of desserts into the room. She watched with her mouth agape as Yvan grabbed the spoon and enjoyed his dessert. "What's so weird?" Yuna instantly shook her head. "Do you know how bad of a liar you are, Yuna?" Yvan said casually without lifting his head. Yuna touched her face before realizing that his eyes were already on her. "These are all traditional family recipes. Even the desserts are homemade. Try it." Pursing her lips, she didn't say anything. But she took the spoon and started eating. The texture was indeed amazing. "I'm just asking you to have a meal with me. Do you have to be so on guard around me?" Yvan exposed her. "I don't recall you telling me to have a meal with you." "Couldn't you tell?" Yuna shot a bewildered look at him. "Mr. Jenkins, I'm not your assistant. How would I be able to guess what you're thinking?" "Back then, didn't you want
The next day, Yuna received a call from Diana before she even reached the company. Looking at the time, she realized it had been a while since she met Diana or had a call with her. Getting a call from her at this hour might not be a good sign. She answered it. "Yuna Feron, what do you think you're doing? Why are you ruining Yvan and Daisy's relationship? Just because Yvan divorced you back then? I'm telling you, I don't like you, and I don't want you as my daughter-in-law. No matter what kind of tricks you're playing now, you'll never be able to set foot in the Jenkins residence again! Even if you have Yvan wrapped around your little finger now, he and Daisy will never break up!" Diana yelled a bunch of expletives at her. Yuna wasn't that dumb to not know what was going on. She was wondering if something happened between Yvan and Daisy again. After thinking for a bit, she figured there was only one possibility. And it was related to the text Kiara sent her earlier. Yuna sai
Darren's lips curved into a mischievous smile. "No, I should be addressing you as Ms. Feron, the junior CEO of the Feron company." Yuna said, "I'll do the same to you then." That instantly made Darren laugh. "Doesn't that put more distance between us now?" Yuna replied, "Did I say anything wrong though?" Darren nodded casually. "You're new, so you don't know about all the courtesies. It's okay. I can teach you. In our case, everyone else would think we're close if you called me Darren. It will attract more business opportunities for you as well. It's called building connections." She remained impassive. "You're quite resourceful, aren't you?" "As a businessman, I have to be." Darren said with a half-smile, "Don't worry, I'll take care of you since we know each other." Yuna didn't want that at all. Yvan alone was bothersome enough. With Darren in the picture, she'd be in an awkward position, sandwiched between those two. And she wasn't that dumb. "Thank you, Mr. Bowman.
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
