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
Yuna wasn't interested in the Stephen family's plan to settle down in Jefton State. But Yvan just had to start off their conversation with this topic. "I've sent people to inform the Stephen family about what happened. Tomorrow, they'll bring Orianna over to apologize to you." "Aren't you afraid that you'll offend the Stephen family by doing this?" "Didn't the Stephen family offend me first?" Yvan spoke without lifting his head, but his tone was filled with arrogance. Yuna's heart started racing. What did he mean by that? "I'll send someone to fetch you tomorrow." As Yuna ate the pasta, she nodded. They didn't mention anything about Daisy or Ashton, as if they had a silent agreement. After returning to her room, Yuna didn't feel like sleeping. She lay on the bed and spaced out as she watched the ceiling. Since Yvan had nothing to do with the incident from seven years ago, her view on Yvan became uncertain. She shouldn't think of Yvan as innocent just because she remov
Orianna was not happy with how her brother talked to Yuna. "Orion." "Shut up!" Without waiting for her to speak, Orion said in a low voice. "Did you forget what I told you before we came here?" She could only grit her teeth and not do anything. Side-eyeing her, Yvan said coldly, "Seems like she's not sincere about this at all." Orion smiled and said, "This is a misunderstanding, Mr. Jenkins. My sister has always been unruly because of how much my family spoiled her. But I'm being as sincere as possible." Yvan didn't seem to be fooled by his words. He turned to look at Yuna. "What do you think?" Seeing how he shifted their attention onto herself, she didn't hold back either. Although she had a smile on her face, her eyes were icy and sharp. "I don't feel much sincerity here as well. Look at how Orianna's looking at me. She seems like she wants me dead." Orion instinctively turned toward his sister. Gabriel rubbed his chin. "Yuna's right. She might really want to kill
As they headed out, Yuna caught up to Yvan. She asked, "You knew this would happen, didn't you?" Yvan pressed the elevator button before turning his head to look at her. He seemed relaxed as ever. "I just took advantage of their weak point." She knew it. She felt that something was strange after hearing what Yvan said last night. She even tried to convince herself that the Stephen family only agreed to apologize because they didn't want to cause any trouble right after arriving at Jefton State. Although Orion looked somewhat sincere about the apology, Orianna seemed forced to come there. Yvan asked, "Do you know the first thing the Stephen family wanted to do when they decided to settle down in Jefton State?" His question made Yuna curious. "What is it?" "Business collaboration." Yvan continued, "The Stephen family has set their eyes on Thornbeak Hill." Yuna wasn't shocked at first. However, she was stunned when she heard the news. "The Thornbeak Hill is just a smal
Yuna wasn't the only one surprised by the sight. Even Yvan's eyes became gloomy. "Grandpa Jenkins, look, Yvan and Yuna are back." "We've only been looking at Yuna through a screen all these years. Looking at the real deal now, Yuna's much prettier than seven years ago." "That's right." Yuna felt something strange inside her. Nodding her head lightly, she greeted them. Yvan furrowed his brow. But when he met Arthur's eyes, Arthur merely responded with a smile. Right when those cousins were about to come up to Yuna and speak, Yvan shot them a glare that made them back away in fear. He then told Yuna, "The document is in the study on the third floor. Go look for it yourself." Knowing Yvan was finding a way for her to escape, Yuna nodded and smiled at everyone. "Please excuse me. I need to go and get the document." After that, she went upstairs. When Yuna reached the third floor, she didn't go into the study. After all, she wasn't a part of the Jenkins family now. It'd
Yuna didn't know what to say to that. She felt that Yvan wasn't being honest. There are so many rooms in the residence. Would they even have to use guest rooms as storerooms? Sensing Yuna's suspicious gaze, Yvan looked composed. "You can have a look if you don't believe me." Since he was so calm, Yuna didn't think he was lying. If that was the case, she couldn't possibly go to the master bedroom. It'd be better to sit there awkwardly. With that thought in mind, Yuna said, "If me being here won't disturb you from working, I don't mind staying." After that, she went back to looking at her phone. Yvan wasn't surprised at all. He said okay and proceeded to work. Yuna didn't want to listen in, but Yvan's voice broke the silence in the study. She was forced to hear him talk. The more she listened, the more restless she became. It was because most of the things he talked about seemed confidential. However, Yvan talked like usual. He acted as if she wasn't there. Taking a d
