"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
It's impossible for her to stay at Birchwood Heights. Yuna didn't want to cause any misunderstanding with Diana again. At the same time, she didn't want Yvan to stay at her apartment. But before she knew it, Yvan had already driven her to her apartment complex. She crossed her arms and showed no intentions of getting out of the car. She turned her face to the side and frowned at Yvan. He looked unconcerned. "It's not suitable for you to live here." "Since when did you start caring about people knowing your personal life? Besides, nothing is happening between us. It's simply us living together under the same roof," Yvan casually said. "You're a public figure. Wouldn't people be stalking you and taking pictures of you?" "Do you think that I'm just for show?" The tense atmosphere at the back made Michael, who was in the driver's seat, uncomfortable. Quietly, he rolled up the divider. "Sherry and Harry would be surprised if they found out we're living together." "Tell t
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
