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
Right then, Liam spoke up with a stern look, "Mr. Feron, even if our company doesn't have enormous funds, we're not so poor as to not be able to afford a few million dollars. If you knew that we don't have enough funds, why did you try to get the Thornbeak project?" Hearing Liam's retort, Herbert could only hold in his fury. He said, "Mr. Lawson, I have my reasons for that. But our company is indeed having financial difficulties." Liam said, "Didn't everyone agree that the Thornbeak project would be a turning point for the Feron company? If we lose this opportunity, it would be difficult for our company to reach new heights. Do you really want to lose the chance, Mr. Feron?" After that, Yuna said, "Don't be upset, Mr. Lawson. That's not what Dad meant. I believe he would be able to settle the funds for the project. After all, even Mr. Jenkins has invested money in us. If we can't start on the project, things will get difficult with Mr. Jenkins." That instantly made Herbert's fa
After lunch, Yuna dozed off in the backseat for a while. However, the car suddenly jolted to a stop. She was jolted awake. "What's going on?" "Yuna, someone's stopping our car." Vince paused before he shouted in shock, "That's Mr. Jenkins' car." Yuna immediately looked at the front. That's when someone knocked on the car window. Instinctively, she turned to look and found Michael standing outside. Yuna rolled the car window down. With his head lowered, Michael said, "Ms. Feron, Mr. Jenkins is inviting you to join him in the car. He wanted to discuss the Feron company loaning money from the banks." She frowned a little when she heard that. She didn't expect Yvan to know what was decided just earlier in the morning. She knew she had no choice but to get out of the car. Otherwise, Yvan wouldn't move away. "Vince, you can drive to the company first. I'll get there myself." Vince nodded. Yuna exited the car and let Michael open the door for her to enter. The door was close
"Okay." Yuna didn't look at him. Instead, she watched the scenery outside the window. The back of her head faced him. It was so he wouldn't sense anything strange from the look on her face. But Yvan thought that she was still mad at him. She did not believe his words. He held onto what Kiara told him to, so he no longer pressured Yuna. Then, he changed the topic, "Do you know how the Feron company takes out loans from the banks now?" This time, he gained Yuna's attention again. She turned and watched him with curiosity. "They're doing everything half-heartedly." That was enough to make Yuna understand what they were trying to do. However, she wasn't surprised. There was anger in Yvan's eyes, but it was toward Herbert. He knew that Herbert didn't treat Yuna well. Still, he didn't think Herbert would go to this extent regarding such matters. If Yuna wasn't holding thirty percent of the shares, he would've taught Herbert a lesson and bought out the company. "You don't
"We've never had something like this happening before!" Herbert howled. "Well, hasn't it happened now? Dad, I'm the one funding, working on, and getting the project. Shouldn't I be getting more money out of it? Besides, once the project succeeds, the company will build a good reputation in the industry. Isn't that a good thing?" Yuna said. "Why don't you just do the whole thing yourself then if that's what you want!" "I have shares in the company. Doing the project with the company will save me a lot of effort. It'd be more economical this way. But that's a good idea. Maybe I can open up my own office in the future. It's too much of a rush to do that now, though. So, it's not yet the time." Right after she said that, Herbert hung up. He was furious. Yuna and Vince exchanged a look before bursting out laughing. Soon after, Herbert sent his assistant over to bring the funds. He added another 50 million dollars. Yuna accepted it naturally. She'd gradually collect more money fr
