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,
Herbert slapped Cora across the face hard. "Stop acting crazy unless you want to get out of his house!"Cora was shocked by the slap. Her eyes widened in surprise as she watched Herbert head upstairs. He didn't even look back. She was angry, but she could only cover her face and remain silent. "Herbert Feron, I will make you regret this!" she cursed inwardly.…Yuna walked out of Feron house with a long face. She had expected this outcome, but it still annoyed her. After all, she was related to Herbert by blood, yet she had been used and discarded by him. She should've cast aside these lingering thoughts long ago. Yuna gathered herself after she consoled herself. She returned to the company to work and found out that Herbert had indeed kept Blake's gambling issue a well-guarded secret. However, she would only allow Herbert to keep it a secret for a few days. After all, there was more drama to unfold in the near future.…Back at Lakewood Estates. Yuna was surprised to d
