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
Yvan took a deep breath and tried not to lose it. He slammed the door shut when he noticed Yuna was about to open the door to let him out. "Why should I leave just because you asked me to?""Because I reserved this private room.""Don't you know that this restaurant belongs to me?"Yuna's eyes widened in surprise. She was at a loss for words.Yvan stood in front of her and looked at her intently. "Let's talk it out.""What else is there for us to talk about? You're free to do what you want, and so am I. You do your thing, and I'll do mine." Yuna frowned. "Why do you insist on acting like you're my husband when there's clearly nothing going on between us?"Yvan pressed his lips into a thin line. He said solemnly, "I'm doing this for my children.""Oh? Is that so? Can you come up with a better excuse? Why are you using them as an excuse?""I don't want you to find them a stepfather!" Yvan said through gritted teeth.Yuna's expression darkened when she heard that. "Even if
There was no response, only the sound of the door closing and someone getting into the car. Yuna frowned. She turned her head to the side cautiously to take a look. To her surprise, Yvan was already sitting inside the car. His sudden appearance angered her. "What do you want, Yvan Jenkins?" "Give me a lift."Yuna was utterly confused. "Don't you have your own car? Why should I give you a lift?"Yvan turned to look at her calmly. "Help me pick a pet for my daughter."Yuna's jaw dropped when she heard that. "How'd you know?" She hadn't even brought it up."Hesta told me." Yvan looked straight into her eyes. "This is Natalie's wish. You could've just told me or made the arrangements yourself. Why did you make them feel like they were just staying there temporarily?"Lakewood Estates is also their home," he said solemnly.Yuna took a deep breath and said, "Since you already know, why didn't you make the arrangements yourself? Why are you doing it now?""I only have time right
Herbert pursed his lips; he genuinely didn't want to give that six million away.When Blake heard that, he clung to his legs tightly. He pleaded desperately, "Dad, I was wrong. I'll work properly alongside you from now on. "These people will cut off my limbs if you don't help me pay the money! You wouldn't want a disabled son to look after you in your old age, would you?" "I almost wish I didn't have a son."The man joked, "Mr. Feron, you can't put it like that. Regardless of the circumstances, he is still your son. "It's your responsibility as his father to repay this money if he can't. I'm afraid you won't be able to leave this place if the money isn't paid back." Herbert's expression hardened. Even though he was deeply disappointed in his son, there was nothing he could do right now. After all, he only had one son.But he had already devised a different plan in his mind. "Give them the money." His assistant hastily took out the pre-prepared check. "There are six milli
Yuna and Yvan carefully wandered around the marketplace and selected several pets."These small creatures have specific requirements for their living conditions.""Don't worry. Natalie knows the habits of every type of creature like the back of her hand. Her mind is like a zoology encyclopedia," Yuna said as she held the creature.Yvan smiled. "MY daughter is truly one of a kind."Yuna felt strangely happy when she heard him say that. The couple drove home after completing their purchases. Natalie noticed them return to Lakewood Estates with the pets she wanted and clapped her hands joyfully."Thank you, Daddy!"Yvan was very pleased. "Daddy will set up a special room for you to raise them, okay?""Okay!"Yvan immediately instructed a few bodyguards and Hesta to tidy up the small room on the second floor.Natalie couldn't get enough of these small pets as she played with them.Yvan sat beside her and listened as she enthusiastically introduced them to him. He even promised
Yuna seemed surprised when she heard Cedric's words.Cedric looked at her intently. "What's the matter? Did you think I was here to cause trouble for you?" He felt a little guilty as he said that. "It seems like I have." Yuna immediately understood what he meant. She vehemently denied it, "It's not your fault, Cedric. After all, the Jenkins family owns numerous properties throughout Jefton State. They also own the airport, so he was aware of it as soon as you entered the state."Cedric could feel his head throb whenever he thought about that. His action had resulted in him being unable to meet the twins. "The most important thing right now is to locate Jerry, and also … How's the situation with the Feron family?" Yuna told him about Herbert taking a one billion dollar loan and establishing a new company elsewhere. However, she didn't go into detail about how the Feron family treated her.Cedric's expression darkened after he heard that. "It appears that I had thought too
Herbert's face darkened instantly, and his pupils dilated. "What is the meaning of this, Yuna? We're having problems at home. "As the family's eldest daughter, shouldn't you do something to help? I'm only asking for help with money. You can't even do that much?" Yuna found his words amusing. "Are we really going there, Dad? Then tell me, why did you refuse to help me when I divorced Yvan seven years ago? Not only that, you also turned me away!" Cora immediately retorted, "Why are you bringing that up now? That was so many years ago. Yuna, you can't use reasons like that even if you don't want to help." Herbert hadn't expected her to say such things at the moment as well. "How is the situation now comparable to that one? No matter what, you have to cough up this money." Yuna wasn't surprised to see him show no signs of remorse. "It's not difficult for me to get that amount. I just want to know what happened back then. Dad, it's only a matter of a few words, and you can't eve
"What did you say?""You know that the Thornbeak Hill project requires a lot of investment. I've not only used the investment money Yvan provided but also invested my own money. "You've attended so many meetings as chairman. Don't you understand the situation? Are you even treating me as your daughter when you're forcing me to cough up the money?" Yuna stood up and looked at him intently."How could you possibly have no money left?" Cora retorted. "Did you lose all your savings after working at the overseas research institute for seven years?"Yuna smiled and said, "Oh? Did you think I survived abroad without eating or drinking? How are you so sure that I earned a lot of money? "Did you forget that I was sent abroad on a stretcher back then? The medical expenses were already sky-high. Have you ever asked me what happened when I first went abroad since I returned, Dad?"Herbert was at a loss for words."Blake's gambling problem resulted in a massive debt. You're his parents,
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
