"I was rushing back from the outskirts of town in the middle of the night. I didn't expect to get into such an unfortunate event on my way back." Ashton paused for a moment. Then, "I heard that Daisy suffered from the most serious injury this time." Yuna nodded. "Yeah, she's in the same hospital as you." Ashton said, "She caused the accident, too. Darren would definitely use this against Yvan. Did he make things difficult for you?" Yuna didn't think Ashton would know Darren so well. With a smile, she shook her head. "I have nothing to do with this car crash. They're the ones whom Darren would go after, not me." "That's true." Even so, Ashton felt that Yuna was hiding something from her. He should ask Darren about this. After chatting for a bit, Yuna received a call. Ashton didn't ask her to stay any longer, either. "Are you two going to have lunch together?" Ashton felt things were getting weirder when he heard about Darren having a meal with Yuna. Darren put on a bri
Noticing how the owner recognized who she was, Yuna was quite surprised. But she felt that the way he looked at her was strange. "Ms. Feron is buying me lunch today. So, serve us all your signature dishes. Don't make us wait too long," Darren said. "Alright, I got you." The owner then waved and left. When the door was closed, only the two of them were left in the room again. Playing with the teacup in his hand, Darren went straight to the point. "Ms. Feron, looking at how eager you were to invite me for a meal, you definitely need something from me." Yuna didn't hide anything, either. "Yeah, I'm meeting you to talk about how you want to get even with Yvan because of Daisy's … mistake." After that, Darren's smile turned cold. His eyes seemed to become even sharper too. "So you're here to plead for that little brat Yvan." "I'm not pleading for anything." "Oh? Then what is it?" Darren moved his eyes away and sipped on his tea. "I'm making a deal with you. My condition is
The lunch was over in a blink of an eye. Yuna was surprised by Darren's performance throughout the meal. But thankfully, everything ended smoothly. "Let me make this clear, I'm only doing this because of you." "Of course." Yuna nodded. Darren looked away but was called by the restaurant owner. Seeing that, Yuna said, "I can go back myself. I'll leave you to hang out with your friend." "Ms. Feron, why don't you stay and have some fun with us too?" The owner was being very friendly. Giving him the side-eye, Darren turned to look at Yuna. "You're driving my car?" "No, I'll just call a cab." Yuna turned him down politely and left. Darren didn't force her to stay, either. When she was further away, the owner clung to Darren's shoulder and asked, "What's up? Isn't she the one Ashton likes? Aren't you worried that Ashton might get upset at you two coming here for a meal?" "We came here after visiting Ashton. Do you think he'd still get mad?" Hearing that, the owner merely
"Does that make you feel guilty about your actions?" Yvan's cold eyes were fixed on her. Seeing how he was still talking to her aggressively, she no longer had an appetite. Placing her cutleries down, she stared at him calmly. "Is there anything you want to talk to me about?" Yvan asked, "Do you know that the press conference is soon?" "Yes. It's on the day after tomorrow." "With the gossip of you and Darren being spread out, are you hoping my press conference will turn into your personal interview instead?" he asked icily. Furrowing her brows, Yuna turned on her phone to check for any news about her and Darren. To her shock, the first thing she saw was a picture of her getting into Darren's sports car. The headline stated how she was enjoying her life lurking around three men. The article vividly described the event. "You always hesitate before getting into my car. Now what? You don't even think twice when you enter Darren's car?" Yvan continued to mock her. Yuna now
With a loud bang, Yvan pushed the door to the side. He didn't leave a chance for her to react and pushed her against the wall securely, not letting her move at all. "Why aren't there any private matters between us? What about the fact that we're renting a place together, our strange relationship and our children?" The last few words made Yuna break into a cold sweat. Her face became tense. "What are you trying to say here?" "What exactly are you trying to do now?" "What?" Yuna couldn't understand a word he was saying. She felt that he was just being weird. "Yvan Jenkins, I don't think I've done anything to make you react like this." "Why won't you listen to me and stop hanging around Darren and Ashton?" Yvan finally asked. That made Yuna laugh madly. "Why are you asking such an unnecessary question? How I deal with my personal relationships has nothing to do with you. "Am I only allowed to work and be in contact with you but not anybody else? Darren and Ashton are you
After Yuna reported everything from the start till the end, Harry and Sherry's faces paled. Anxious, Sherry said, "So there wasn't a car accident which was a mistake caused by the driver you hired that night. You were actually kidnapped, and you had to escape. And the rest happened because of it?" Yuna nodded. "I'm the one who caused that incident at the intersection. Yvan's men were there by coincidence, so I was saved. After that, Jerry created that accident just to shake off Yvan's men." Raising an eyebrow, Harry asked, "So Yvan's saying that Jerry would look for you again. He gave you two choices, whether you move into Birchwood Heights or he moves here and lives with you?" Sherry calculated the time frame. "You've been living together for so long?" Yuna massaged her forehead. "We're just renting the place together. You can go have a look yourself. He stays in the room two doors next to mine. We don't disturb each other." After hearing that, Sherry actually went to chec
Harry didn't expose Yuna, but he wondered if he was just overthinking it. Instead of worrying about that, Sherry was more worried about Jerry. "Didn't you say Jerry might look for you again? What should you do then? It's not a good idea to leave you here alone. If he sneaks in, how would you call for help? You should move upstairs and stay with us." Sherry added, "You'll definitely be safe with Harry and me there. If anything really happens, one of us could still escape and call the police, right?" But Yuna shook her head and turned Sherry down. "Sherry, Jerry is not just a regular thief. He's someone way beyond our imagination. He's untouchable to the police too. "He attacked me so many times without getting caught once. He's even escaped abroad and rendered everyone helpless. We can tell how cunning he is just by that. "If he really comes back for me, I won't be able to handle the guilt, especially if I put you two in danger. Besides, he couldn't kill me now. "Even if h
Yvan ignored Lucian. He continued drinking and sulking by himself. Lucian got up and sat beside him. "Haven't you wondered why there was gossip between Yuna and Darren in the first place?" Yvan still didn't say a word. On the other hand, Gabriel started guessing. "Darren is always the one who meets up with Yuna. I've never seen Yuna go out of her way to meet Darren first. Why would Yuna do it this time?" That made Yvan even more upset. Lucian said, "That's right. Why would Yuna do that? Isn't it strange?" Yvan's hand paused midair. "How is that strange?" "Of course it is." Lucian said, "Why would Yuna meet up with Darren for no reason?" Yvan understood the meaning behind his words. Narrowing his eyes, he asked, "Do you know the reason?" Lucian sighed. "I didn't want to say this, but both of you are too headstrong for your own good." Yvan frowned as he stared at Lucian quietly. "Do you remember Yuna answering the video call which you left open that day?" Hearing
