"It was just signing an agreement." "Did you forget about what happened with Darren just now?" Yvan's tone was somewhat filled with reproach. "I didn't know Darren would be there too." "That's why I said I'd come with you to sign the agreement!" He pulled them back to the main topic. Yuna was left speechless. "Nothing bad happened. Besides, Darren wasn't there because of me." Yvan suddenly braked the car. It caused Yuna to jerk backward. She glared at him in shock. "How can you be so sure he wasn't there because of you?" Yvan asked, frowning. Yuna started thinking again after hearing that question. The date for signing the agreement was fixed early on. If Darren wanted to, he could've sent anyone to check on the date, and he'd know about it. So, he certainly would've known about today's event. Besides, the reforestation work for Thornbeak Hill wasn't much. He didn't have to do it himself. With that thought in mind, Darren's appearance did seem suspicious. Watching t
Yuna made a look at Vince. He then closed the door and left the office. She put her things down and ignored Yasmine. Seeing that, the satisfaction on Yasmine's face was instantly wiped off. It was replaced by discontent. She followed Yuna behind. "I'm talking to you right now. Are you deaf?" After that, Yuna suddenly turned around. She stared at her with a dark look. "Think about how you should be speaking to me." Yasmine was instantly mortified. She nearly stumbled backward. Her mind went blank, and she forgot what she had to tell Yuna. Throwing her a look of disgust, Yuna sat down. Yasmine gritted her teeth but continued smugly, "I'm here to congratulate you. I can't believe you'd be so capable of reaching where you are now. Let's see, are you planning to take over Dad's position next?" "Does your Mom know you came here just to speak nonsense?" "Wasn't I right?" "Seems like your Mom doesn't know what kind of stupid daughter she gave birth to," Yuna said casually. Y
Yuna wasn't surprised by what Harry said. "It'd be unbelievable if you manage to find something about him." Her words made both Sherry and Harry stare at her in disbelief. Yuna then confessed how she found this website, what she did, and how much she paid for the service. After hearing that, Sherry shrieked, "What if it's a fraud?" Yuna shook her head. "I just wanted to find some clues as soon as I could back then. That's why I gave it a try. It did help me, but I didn't expect their service to be so good. Society obviously does not accept their background, but they're doing this with their lives at risk." Harry raised an eyebrow and calmed his nerves. "Organizations like this are quite common indeed. Still, it's rare to see one around us." Sherry widened her eyes. "If that's the case, Jeremiah is a real person. He's just getting paid to do his job?" "You can say so." Sherry asked curiously, "What if he sells you out one day?" Yuna squinted. "That would only happen if
As they made their way to the Salt Oasis Spa, Yuna called Yvan in the car. The moment it was answered, she yelled, "Yvan!" "What do you want from Yvan?" When she heard Daisy's voice, Yuna was dumbstruck for a few seconds. "Why are you answering the call?" Yvan never allowed anybody to touch his personal belongings. But he actually let Daisy answer his phone. Despite her thoughts, Yuna quickly regained her senses. She shouldn't have believed the news. If Yvan had no feelings for Daisy, he wouldn't have tolerated her actions again and again. As for why Yvan would do that, Yuna couldn't guess, nor did she want to know. "I have something to talk to him about." Daisy chuckled softly. "Yuna, how rude of you to call now. Don't you think it's inappropriate to call Yvan at this hour? What kind of urgent matter would you need him for? I know Yvan invested some money in the Feron company. He even helped you in getting a project, but that shouldn't be an excuse for you to look for hi
Yuna swirled the glass in her hand. But her face remained unfazed. "I'll have a few drinks with you here. Let Kiara go home." "Yuna, why didn't you—" Before Kiara could finish, Darren grabbed her arm and dragged her toward Yuna. Yuna caught Kiara in time. She then whispered. "Yvan will be here soon. Just go with Harry and Sherry. I'll be fine." After that, Yuna pushed Kiara toward Harry and Sherry. "You guys should leave first." Harry and Sherry furrowed their brow. However, they still brought Kiara out of the place. The door was once closed again, but Kiara struggled to get out of their grip. "Are you guys insane? You're actually leaving Yuna in there! Let me go. I'll go inside. You two just get that brat over here as soon as possible." "Your brother has no time to spare for you now. He's busy." Harry stuffed Kiara into Sherry's arms. "Sherry, you should bring her out of here first. I'll wait for Yuna." Kiara was confused when she heard Harry's words. "Wait a minute. I'm not
"This is the heir of Bell's Construction Company. That's the president of the Northern Bank …" Although Darren seemed nonchalant, he explained their backgrounds to Yuna in detail. The people didn't think highly of Yuna. However, for Darren's sake, they'd smile and greet her after Darren's introduction. It made Yuna feel awkward. "Ms. Feron is my friend. If there's any business opportunity in the future, you have to place Ms. Feron at the top of your list. If I find out you're not treating her well, I'll hold you guys accountable." Darren said casually, but it was actually filled with threats. Anyone close to him would know about the way he acted. He wasn't joking about any of that. The others all nodded, promising they'd look for Yuna if any business opportunities arose. Yuna merely furrowed her brow without saying anything. Darren's action was clearly a move to agitate Yvan. Darren had just been treating her like his tool. Right then, the door was pushed open. With a s
Yuna would still believe in Ashton's words. As for Darren … He didn't do bad things to women. But he was definitely not a good guy. She wouldn't ask Ashton how he became such good friends with Darren. It could all be a work of fate. Besides, Ashton didn't follow his steps. Soon after, they entered a restaurant. Ashton had a smile on his face the whole time. When he talked to Yuna, he was gentle and polite. Since it was already nighttime, he even switched the alcohol for juices. "I heard you've returned to the Feron company for work recently. I haven't had the chance to congratulate you about it or your success in getting the Thornbeak project." Ashton sounded guilty. "I'm sure you must be busy with your work. Plus, what I did isn't a big deal, either. Isn't it normal to return and work at one's family company?" Yuna said. Ashton was hesitant to say something. He eventually said nothing seeing how relaxed Yuna was. "Okay, you're working in a new industry now. So, what ab
Meanwhile, Kiara left the Salt Oasis Spa safely. After probing Sherry about it, she finally found out what Harry meant. She asked, "Did Daisy really pick up the call?" Sherry nodded. "Of course." The first thing Kiara did was call Yvan. She wanted to ask him about this. After making sure where he was through the call, she made her way there. When she reached, Yvan had returned from meeting Diana. He was waiting for Kiara at Birchwood Heights. After hearing her aggressive tone on the phone, Yvan merely waited with a solemn expression. Just after she arrived, Kiara snatched Yvan's phone away from him. Yvan frowned. "What are you doing?" After that, he seized his phone back. "I've told you not to touch my things." Hearing that, Kiara laughed sarcastically. "What? As your sister, I can't touch your personal belongings. But Daisy is allowed? Didn't you tell me that it's over between you and her? Were you lying?" Yvan stared at her with his brow furrowed. "Her touching my s
