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
Cora didn't expect the men to lay a finger on her daughter for real. Now that Yasmine was going to be taken away, she hurried down the stairs. She pleaded, "D-Don't take my daughter. Don't take her! H-Here. Here's all the money I have. There's two million. I'll give you the rest as soon as possible."She went down the stairs unsteadily and gave him five credit cards.The man was displeased. "You're living in a high-end mansion, yet two million is all you have from 5 credit cards? Are you kidding me?" She shook her head. "I'm not joking. I only have this much. I've asked my husband to gather enough money. It won't take long. I promise!"He scoffed. "Did you call the cops when you were upstairs?"She shook her head profusely. "No. I didn't. I would never do that! I called my husband to get the money as soon as possible. Trust me."Yasmine, under the man's captive, was weeping as her legs trembled. She knew she would end up badly if they took her away. She couldn't allow that to
When Herbert arrived home, he was infuriated by the sight of the mess.He became tense when he noticed there were a lot of unfamiliar men in his house. Cora and Yasmine cried the moment they saw him."Herbert, you're finally back!""Dad, save us!"The man turned around to look at Herbert, chuckling. "The breadwinner has finally arrived. Hurry. Give me six million, and we'll leave you for good.""Six million?" Herbert was trying to understand the situation.Cora quickly explained, "Blake owes them eight million. I gave them two, and we're left with six. Herbert, saving our son is more important."His face fell upon the realization. "He owes eight million?"She rushed to him and held his arm, whispering, "I know what you're doing today, but let's give them the money so Blake can return home safely. "He's your only son. He has to take care of you when you're old. You gotta save him.""Save him? I'd rather die right now!" He shoved her away.The broken glass pieces scratched
Yuna said, "My senior is here. I came to look for him." They were well aware that Natalie and Nathaniel were brought back to the country by Cedric. Hence, the senior Yuna was referring to was undoubtedly him.Yvan's face darkened when he heard the word "senior." He didn't confront Cedric because he didn't want to show his bad side in front of his kids the last time. However, he knew that Yuna had spent the most time with Cedric and that the twins adored him. "Enjoy your meal. I'll be going now," she said politely. Then, she turned around and went inside without sparing Yvan a glance. Lucian sensed that something was amiss. "Did something happen between you and Yuna again?" Yvan walked in expressionlessly after his question. Lucian and Gabriel exchanged a glance. They were used to seeing Yuna and Yvan quarreling. Yuna didn't enter the private room immediately after she found it. Instead, she went to the adjacent room that she had reserved ahead of time. She sat and texted
Yuna stepped between them and raised her hands to stop them when she noticed they were about to fight. "Don't fight!"With that, both Cedric and Yvan lowered their fists at the same time. She sighed in relief before saying, "The Stephen family members are still next door, Cedric. The kids' situation will definitely be exposed if the both of you fight."Yuna looked at Yvan after she had calmed Cedric down. "Mr. Jenkins, weren't you here to dine with your friends? Your friends must be growing impatient."Yvan's face fell when he noticed that she chose to console Cedric and drive him away. "Did she have feelings for Cedric?" he wondered.The thought made him feel even worse. "Are you kicking me out?"Cedric's expression hardened when he noticed him talking to Yuna in that tone. He pulled Yuna to his side and spat, "Watch it. Be mindful of the way you're speaking to Surra. Don't assume that nobody is backing her up." "How long do you think you can protect her?""Until the day
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
