"Why hasn't she called me back yet?" Yvan checked his phone for notifications, but seeing none, his face became sour. "Did you tell her?" Michael broke out in a cold sweat as he nodded. "I did. But you said that Ms. Feron doesn't have to call you back. So …" "So she's actually not going to call me back? Isn't she worried that it's about something urgent?" "If it was something urgent, you wouldn't have mentioned that sentence." The moment Michael finished speaking, he felt Yvan's glare pierce into him. He could only shut up and find an excuse to leave the office. Yvan rubbed his temples as his mood grew worse. He hadn't expected Yuna to do exactly as he'd said. Suddenly, his phone rang. He immediately grabbed his phone to take a look. Yet his relaxed brows became furrowed again. It wasn't a call from Yuna; it was from his mother. "Mom." "Daisy got into such a big accident, but why did you just make arrangements for Daisy instead of staying with her? Don't you know that
Seeing how easy it was to talk to Yuna, Joe assumed that she didn't mind what had happened back then. Hence, he became even more brazen. "I always knew you were forgiving. I didn't feel that way last time, but now I see it. Yasmine's lucky to have you as her sister." Watching how he was praising her, Yuna understood that he had a motive behind his visit. "I know you didn't come all the way here just to praise me." Yuna's gaze was cold, but her tone was friendly. She wanted Joe to fall into her trap. "You're a smart one." Joe waved her down as he chuckled. "I came to apologize for my indecent behavior last time. Another reason I came is because I heard that you've taken over the Thornbeak project. Since you're on such good terms with Mr. Jenkins, I wonder if you can help our family build a connection with him." "Connection?" Joe chuckled. "I know connecting the Chandlers to him might be difficult, but seeing how close you're with Mr. Jenkins, I believe this should be worka
At night, Yvan had been waiting at home for Yuna to return. It was nearly 9 pm when he realized he'd received no news of Yuna coming back soon. Glancing at his phone every now and then, Yvan saw no notification from her. He got so impatient that he finally called Yuna. It took a long time before Yuna finally answered the phone. To his surprise, there were loud noises in the background before he could say anything. She was clearly at a bar. "Yuna, why are you at a bar right now?" Right after he asked that, the call ended. This made Yvan suspect whether Yuna had answered the call by accident. He immediately got up and grabbed his coat, calling Gabriel on his way out. "Check which bar Yuna is at right now." At the same time, Yuna, Harry and Sherry were happily having drinks in a bar. As for the call just now, Yuna had indeed answered it by accident. She'd even hung up without knowing it too, totally oblivious that she'd just picked up Yvan's call. "This is karma. Who wou
"Get away from her? Really?" Sherry mocked him. "Is that true?" Yuna asked with a smile. Not bothered to answer them, Harry chugged his drink. He then got up and said, "Let's go and drink somewhere else." "Eh, why should we leave? Isn't it nice here? It wasn't easy for me to make a reservation here." Sherry dragged Harry back down, not letting him go at all. "You're a man, so what are you still embarrassed about? You're just being chased after by an heiress, aren't you?" Harry didn't know how to reply to that. Yuna saw right through him. "Are you hiding from Kiara because of me?" Harry didn't say a word. "Are you dumb? Kiara and Yvan are two different people. Isn't it bad for you to hide from Kiara just because of that?" Yuna pushed Harry. "Although it's not my place to interfere with your relationship issues, there should be an answer for things between you and Kiara. If you really don't feel that way about her, just reject her. If you don't, wouldn't it be hard for Ki
"Trying to escape? I don't think so. If your sister doesn't have a drink with me today, I won't feel too happy about this." The man wasn't about to give up. When he heard that they were going to leave, he even gestured for his men to come up from behind him. To everyone's surprise, they heard a loud crash before Harry could make his move. The noise was drowned out by the blasting background music. It was Kiara. Without anyone realizing it, she grabbed a beer bottle and smashed it right into that man's head. "Who gave you the right to disturb my friends here?" "Who the hell are you?" Covering his head, that man shrieked in pain. "What are you waiting for? Get them!" Harry pushed Yuna and Sherry behind him as he quickly said, "Run!" He then grabbed Kiara's arm in a flash, avoiding a man's ambush. Leaping right over a table, Harry kicked a man's chin with his knee. After that, he seized the chance to grab Kiara and run. Looking at Harry holding her hand, Kiara was se
Sherry and the rest exchanged nervous glances, but none of them spoke up. They finally rested their eyes on Yvan and Yuna as if those two were the reason why the atmosphere was cold in there. It lasted till the moment Michael opened the door of the private room. He was taken aback by the grateful looks everyone gave him. Because of that, he froze at the entrance for a moment. But he quickly went up to Yvan to tell him about his investigation and explained, "Mr. Jenkins, those people who were beaten up confessed that they didn't harass Ms. Feron on purpose. Someone paid them to do that." That made everyone turn to look at Michael. No one expected that it wasn't an accident. Yvan demanded with a frown. "Who hired them?" Michael replied, "The heiress of the Stephen family." Instantly, Kiara clapped her hands hard. "Orianna?" Michael nodded. "Yes." Kiara then started to curse, "This woman Orianna really has no fear. We warned her last time, yet she did something as despicab
Watching the rest, Sherry felt that Yvan must have had an ulterior motive to talk to Yuna. But there was nothing she could do now. She couldn't fight against Yvan after all. At the same time, she also remembered that Lucian lied to her last time. This would be a good opportunity to hold him accountable. In the end, she gave in and told Yuna, "You should text me too when you reach home." After saying that, Sherry left with Lucian. Harry was being pestered by Kiara so much that he had to leave ahead too. Eventually, only Yvan and Yuna were left in the private room. The awkward tension seemed to creep back in again. Yuna didn't bother to ask why Yvan wanted to talk to her. She simply got up to leave. Heaving a sigh, Yvan also stood up and left. The two were then walking side by side. Seeing how he wasn't speaking at all, Yuna felt frustrated instead. But she wasn't willing to take the initiative to talk. When they exited the club, Yuna wasn't about to enter Yvan's car. I
Clenching her teeth, Yuna said, "Why don't you go back to your house, and I go back to my own house then?" Without turning his head around, Yvan said, "I can't leave you alone. Did you forget how you were nearly killed by Jerry last time?" Yuna replied, "You're the most dangerous one here to me." That instantly made Yvan frown. "What? Did I do something to make you feel scared of me?" Not wanting to continue the conversation, Yuna turned away and looked outside the car window. "Stop the car here." Seeing her attitude, Yvan just went along with it. "Go straight to Auburn Hills." That was directed toward Michael, who was driving. Michael immediately made a U-turn at the cross junction ahead before making another turn. Yuna saw that he didn't stop the car at the roadside, but they were heading back to her housing area, so she didn't bother to argue with Yvan anymore. When they reached that area, Yuna wanted to enter the apartment herself. The car was parked below the apart
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
