"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
"I'm sorry, Kiara." "Do you think I'm the one you should apologize to?" Kiara said impatiently. Biting her lip, Daisy pulled her friend over and apologized to Yuna as well. "Sorry, Yuna. My friend didn't mean it." Yuna glanced at Daisy's friend, who still looked high and mighty. She didn't know her mistakes at all. Yuna said with a smile, "I'm curious about how you found out where Kiara and I are having dinner. You found the exact private room we booked and came to yell at me." "Shouldn't you be yelled at?" her friend continued. "Who the hell are you?" Kiara demanded. Daisy quickly explained, "Kiara, she's just a friend. She—" The friend stopped Daisy and said defiantly, "What are you apologizing for? You did nothing wrong. Can't you see? Yvan's sister is siding with her now. That's why she could do whatever she wants." After that, she turned around and looked at Kiara proudly. "You're a woman too. How could you be siding with a snake like her? Don't you know that Daisy
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
