"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
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
