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
Yuna got up. When she was about to head out and look for Yvan, someone spoke through the laptop. "Yvan, where did you go?" That sounded like Lucian. She looked at the laptop for a few seconds. Still, she decided not to go over there to check things out. If Lucian and the rest found out that she was at Jenkins Residence and in Yvan's study, they'd definitely start assuming things. She didn't want any more trouble. And so, Yuna stood up to go look for Yvan. To her surprise, Lucian's yell came from the laptop. "Yvan Jenkins, quit playing around! My time is precious, but you're leaving me here talking to myself. If you don't show up, I'm ending the call. I'll just tell you about Jerry another time." Jerry? That instantly caught Yuna's attention. She quickly walked to the table and sat down. She spoke to Lucian as she stared at him through the laptop. "Wait a second, Dr. Storm. Have you guys found out something about Jerry again?" Yuna's unexpected appearance made Luci
Yuna's eyes dimmed. Without a word, she continued to hear Lucian out. Lucian paused for a few moments before saying, "The night before the accident, Daisy stayed up all night to practice dancing. Then, she drove herself back home the next morning. "The accident happened because she was exhausted. She doesn't have any family members with her anymore. That's why Yvan had to deal with her matter." After hearing the story, Yuna sighed in relief. What she had in mind before this was that someone staged the car accident. "It wasn't intentional, then. It happened because she was tired. She probably didn't want this to happen either." Yuna didn't want to admit it, but she knew Daisy well enough. Daisy wouldn't risk her own life just to get Yvan's attention. It wasn't the time to do that yet. "Yeah, you're right. It's actually an accident. But if she hired someone to drive for her or rested enough before driving, something like that wouldn't have happened. "No one expected Ashto
Yvan frowned. He looked at Yuna, who was sitting on the couch, unaffected by anything. Lucian's text gave him the impression that he let something slip to Yuna. It was Yvan's mistake. At the same time, Yuna was trying to come up with an excuse to meet Darren and how to persuade him to give up on threatening Yvan. All these were making her head hurt. It seemed that she had to properly think about this matter. "What are you thinking about?" Without her realizing it, Yvan was already standing beside the couch with the coffee in his hand. He lowered his gaze to look at Yuna, deep in thought a moment ago. After Yuna returned to her senses, she met his eyes for a moment. Then, she shook her head. "Nothing." "Do you know that Orion went to your company?" As Yvan spoke, he sat on the couch. Seeing that, Yuna immediately moved away to put some distance between them. Not surprised by her action, Yvan continued, "Orion and Herbert must've come to a compromise. For the next thr
Hearing how Diana brought up his father, Yvan's face instantly turned gloomy. His dark eyes were filled with iciness. "I hope I won't hear that from you again!" "How dare you? I'm your mom. I only want what's best for you. But you're talking to me with that tone!" Diana's voice was full of hurt. "There's nothing going on between me and Yuna." "Who would believe that?" Diana became more impatient. "First the research center then Feron company. You're always around her, and it just gives people more gossip to talk about!" she said, exasperated. "Since when has the Jenkins family cared about this? The same goes for you, Mom. When have you started getting bothered by how people view us?" Raising his brow, Yvan looked impassive. "If you have nothing better to do, you should go abroad and keep Dad company." "You!" Yvan's response made Diana furious. "Alright, since I can't argue with you, I'll talk to Yuna! Where is she?" Seeing Diana being stubborn, Yvan looked unhappy.
