"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
Yuna frowned. Seeing how arrogant this woman was, Yuna could tell that she must be a well-pampered daughter from a rich family.Yuna stood before her. Her elegant face was ice-cold. "I know you're so cocky now because of your family background. But I should remind you that you're in Jefton State. If you're telling me that your family plans to do some business here, aren't you afraid that it might be difficult for them to set foot in Jefton State? You're already causing trouble for them, after all."Orianna wanted to defend herself. But Yuna didn't let her. "You're not in your home country anymore. There are rules to be followed here. If you don't believe me, ask your family. If you do something you'll regret, it'll be too late to save yourself." "Mind your own business!""I don't care about you and your matters. I'm just giving you a kind reminder. But if you don't listen to me, I have my ways to deal with you. In our country, we try to be courteous before resorting to force."
The cold edge of the dagger rested against Yuna's neck. "I'm impressed. You actually dare to show yourself in broad daylight." "You're also incredible. You sent so many people to track me down. You've even exposed my criminal record," Jerry replied darkly. "We have nothing against each other. But why won't you leave me alone and even try to kill me?" Yuna asked calmly. Both of her hands stayed on the steering wheel. "That's because you're acquainted with someone you shouldn't be acquainted with." Jerry sneered as he spoke. "But that's not important because you intrigued me. Besides, the higher-ups don't want me to have you killed. Which means your life has become really valuable now." Hearing that, Yuna scrunched up her brow while trying to handle the situation calmly. "Higher-ups? So you're working for the money? I've found out you're the boss behind the racing club. But why am I the license holder? You've known me since long ago, haven't you?" "You sure spout a lot of n
Yuna still couldn't calm herself down, so she didn't bother arguing with him. Besides, she couldn't guarantee that Jerry wouldn't be able to escape from Yvan's men and come after her again. At this point, she had no choice but to give in. Without another word, she closed her eyes to rest. But in her head, she recalled what Jerry had said to her. Why would his higher-ups not want her dead now? Who were the people behind Jerry? How could he appear in the city center and find her so easily? Yuna couldn't find answers to all those questions. But it made her want to know even more about what was going on. Why would they go after her and not let her off? That was the main question. Without her realizing it, they had reached Birchwood Heights. When Yuna arrived, she didn't see Yvan anywhere. The bodyguard standing at the side explained, "Mr. Jenkins was still in the suburbs. He had a business matter to attend to. He'll need another half an hour to reach here. Please go inside
Soon, Jeremiah called her. Seeing that Yvan had yet to return, Yuna headed into the garden to pick up the call. "Ms. Feron, are you sure that he's Jerry?" "Yeah. There's no mistaking his voice," Yuna said calmly. "How could that be? He shouldn't be in Jefton State anymore. Based on my investigation, he should be pacing around the borders. I even sent someone to track him down the moment I found out." Jeremiah's tone was filled with shock. "Could it be that he never left Jefton State and was playing tricks on me?" Yuna said, "Jerry is a cunning man, so the man around the borders could be fake." Jeremiah exclaimed in surprise, "Wow, this is the first time I've seen someone trying to fool me." Hearing that, Yuna frowned instinctively. She had a strange feeling that Jeremiah had just gotten motivated by this incident. "Ms. Feron, I wouldn't dare to accept your money this time. This is my job, and I'll do anything to find Jerry. I'll update you if there's any news. Goodbye
Yuna became speechless. Yvan lit a cigarette and crossed his legs. He seemed relaxed but distant. "The accident only happened because my men didn't do a good job." "It has nothing to do with them. I didn't notice him either," Yuna replied patiently. Then, she looked away. "This is the second time he went after you." Yvan suddenly changed the topic. Yuna knew that better than anyone else. "So there might be a third time." In her head, she felt relieved that Kiara left early that night. Or else the two of them would be in the car, and the situation might've gotten even worse. "You should move back here." Yvan's words instantly made Yuna raise her brow. "Why should I?" "My workers can protect you during the day. If you stay here at night, he won't have a chance to break in and hurt you here, too," Yvan said matter-of-factly. "If you don't want to do that, I don't mind moving to your place." That made Yuna feel like Yvan was taking advantage of the situation. "Regardl
