Kiara grumbled, "Don't you dare. What's wrong with trying to get close to my niece? I'm closer to her than you are."Yvan didn't release Natalie, so Kiara didn't have the chance to get close to her.Kiara's patience was running thin. "Yvan Jenkins, I'm your sister."He hummed calmly in response."Give me back my niece.""Behave in front of the kids." He gave her a sidelong glance. She broke into a smile immediately. "Natalie, Nathaniel, don't be scared. I'm not a bad guy. If you don't believe me, you can ask your mother."Yuna somehow felt a sense of domestic bliss while watching their little argument.Later, she and Kiara had a stroll in the yard. Yvan kept Natalie company, whereas Nathaniel was reading on the couch."So that brat was telling the truth. You're going to let the kids stay here?" Kiara's eyes brightened at the thought of Yuna and Yvan reconciling."It's temporary." Yuna burst her bubble. She explained further, "It's kinda complicated. Since the kids are in J
After Yuna and Kiara left, the kids quietly looked out the window.Natalie had been in low spirits since Yvan left after receiving that phone call. Nathaniel was her twin brother, so he naturally had an inkling about her emotions.He began lecturing as the elder brother. "I've told you not to have high hopes for that guy. Have you learned your lesson now?"She crossed her arms, furious, "Daddy's not loyal. No wonder Mommy won't forgive him."Nathaniel patted her head to comfort her. "Alright, don't waste your feelings on him. Mommy's fine, so there's no use in getting angry. Once she's done with her work, we can return to Waleston together."Natalie nodded firmly.… Kiara chose a newly opened club to avoid familiar faces. It was outside Gabriel's territory. Yuna took the chance to explain why she didn't live in Auburn Hills to Harry and Sherry.Sherry almost jumped on her feet, unable to control her emotions. "Natalie and Nathaniel are back?"Harry noticed the more import
Harry didn't stop Kiara. He followed her back to the private lounge and sat down. Yuna and Sherry gave them an ambiguous look. Then, the two exchanged looks before continuing to drink.Soon, a waiter entered the room with a serving cart. It was filled with wine bottles and snacks.He put on a professional smile. "Is Ms. Feron here?"The four of them raised their heads. Yuna felt a sense of déjà vu. "I am. Is there anything I can help you with?"He pushed the serving cart to a side and explained, "This is from Mr. Ernie."He was referring to Joe's stepbrother, Ernie Chandler.Kiara frowned. "Do you think that we can't afford them? Why do we need him to buy us drinks? Take them back."Her request put him in a tough spot. "I …""If you don't do as I say, I'll make sure today's the last day you work here.""I-I'll take them back right away." The waiter quickly left the room with the cart.Sherry asked curiously, "Isn't that Joe's elder brother? How does he know that we're her
Kiara's best friend called and said she was in the adjacent private lounge. Kiara informed Yuna and the others before heading to the other room for a while.Now that Kiara wasn't around, Yuna and Sherry began demanding details of Harry's progress with Kiara. Harry was quite shy. "Since you no longer stay in Auburn Hills, I will return to my place then."Sherry and Yuna squealed at that.Sherry even covered her mouth. "Honestly, I keep feeling myself turning into a third-wheeler whenever Kiara visits him. I was afraid that she misunderstood there was something between us. "Gosh, I'm finally free! Wait, hold on!" She realized something. "If you guys are gone, am I going to be alone?"Yuna shook her head. "It's not like we're far away from each other. We'll be staying in a different neighborhood. That's it. "Once I'm done with the matters here, I'm going to move back to Waleston."Sherry had no choice but to accept reality. She patted Harry's shoulder. "Oh well, what matters
It wasn't until Yuna brought Kiara out of the private lounge that Sherry let go of Harry."Everything's fine. She's alright." Yuna shook her head at Harry, indicating that nothing had happened.It seemed like Kiara had yet to regain her composure. "It's nothing, really. I ran into a drunk, and Mr. Ernie saved me."I thought of returning to you guys, but Mr. Ernie said it'll be troublesome if that drunk returns. So, I went with him instead."Sherry asked curiously, "What a coincidence."They all had a strange feeling about it. The friends returned to their private lounge as their minds were a mess. Surprisingly, Yvan was in the room when they opened the door. The air in the room became tense.Kiara asked, "Why are you here?"He stared at her. "That's what I want to know. Why did you bring her here?" Yuna frowned. "Is there something I can help you with, Mr. Jenkins?""What do you think?"Kiara was displeased by his attitude. "Are you here for an interrogation? I brought Yun
Yvan gave Yuna an ambiguous sidelong glance.She smiled. "Don't overthink it, Mr. Jenkins. Take it at face value.""Daisy has been diagnosed with serious depression and anxiety recently. The situation calls for it, so I had to help out," he explained. Silence hung in the air for a moment. Yuna remained smiling. "This is your personal matter. You don't have to explain it to me. But I hope you won't pick up the call when my daughter is nearby. She's kinda sensitive."He explained, "I didn't think about that.""It wasn't your fault. After all, you have never babysat before." She then looked out of the window.The air turned icy. Yvan continued driving. He even sped up along the way home.Soon, they arrived at Lakewood Estates.Yuna entered the house as soon as she got out of the car. He followed suit with a gloomy expression.When he went upstairs, he noticed that she was going to enter the kids' room. He grabbed her hand, frowning. "Your room is next to mine.""I know what
Liam seized the chance to add fuel to the fire. "Mr. Herbert, Mr. Blake comes here to learn a thing or two from you. Is it done after a few days?"Herbert's face flushed with anger. Blake had been missing for a few days. Herbert couldn't find him anywhere.Now that he was busy with work, he didn't have the luxury to take care of it.However, he couldn't leave the question unanswered because it was brought up in the meeting. Every shareholder was concerned about it. Herbert stared at Yuna for a while before replying, "He's been feeling under the weather recently. So, I told him to rest at home."She acted as if she had realized something. "I see. Does that mean I was seeing things? I must've mistaken another man for him at an elite club." Her statement caused an immediate stir amongst the shareholders. Herbert's expression became tense. He denied it instantly, "You must've got the wrong person. He's at home all the time."Yuna smiled. "Really? I don't think I saw him the last
"What? He's in debt?" Cora thought she heard the man wrongly.The man showed her the credit note. "Your son's signature is on it. He even shot a video telling us to get the money from you guys. "What's wrong? You don't wanna pay what he owes?"She asked with a trembling voice. "H-How much did he owe you?"He chuckled. "Eight million."Cora was so surprised by the large sum of money that she fell on the couch weakly. Yasmine hurriedly came to her side and held her arm. "Mom, what's wrong? Mom?"The man looked at Cora disdainfully. "Your family business is on the roll. Eight million shouldn't be much for you. It'll be the joke of the century if you can't return the money."Cora's mind was buzzing. "What had he been up to? Why did he owe people so much money?""What else can men do when they're out?" the man asked. Cora's heart almost jumped out of her chest. Yasmine sprang to her feet. "Where's Blake? Why isn't he here?""You gotta ask him yourself. I bet he's still tryin
