That night, Yuna and Yvan went back home at the same time. They had dinner with the kids. It was so peaceful that Nathaniel almost thought it was real. On the other hand, Natalie was happy because she enjoyed how pleasant it was. After dinner, Nathaniel unwillingly agreed to play a board game with the others because Yuna asked him to. Yvan and Natalie formed a team, while Yuna and Nathaniel teamed up against them. They had so much fun playing as a family. Even Nathaniel, who always put on a poker face in front of Yvan, had a trace of a smile on his face. After finishing one round, they were about to start the second round when Yuna's phone rang. She asked Nathaniel to play along with the other two first without her. Then, she went to the garden and answered the call. "What's up, Harry?" Harry's disappointment was palpable. "The place was sold to someone else." After hearing that, Yuna frowned a little. "Didn't you say you have made a deal and just need to finalize t
Yuna then called Cedric and told him someone had helped her find Orion. She didn't tell Cedric that this person was Yvan. Instead, she claimed that it was Lucian. Yvan let her make the call. But after she ended the call, he asked tensely, "Why didn't you say it was me?" Calmly, Yuna said, "Cedric would come over if he knew that it was you. I don't want to see the two of you fight." "So, did you do that for his sake or mine?" "For my own sake." Yvan laughed helplessly. Not long after, they finally reached the restaurant at the hotel. Because of Yvan's status, nobody tried to stop them. There were even people who led him upstairs without question. Soon, they arrived at the private room where the Stephen family had booked for dinner. When the door was pushed open, their laughter and chatter was cut off. Everyone looked toward Yvan and Yuna, who entered the room. Alberto Stephen, Daphne Stephen, and Orion were confused. Only Orianna had an uneasy expression on her fac
Orianna didn't say a word. With a smile, Yuna said, "Mr. Stephen, you shouldn't blame Ms. Orianna for this. She probably did this to avenge her best friend." Orianna's face instantly paled. She jerked her head up furiously. "This was my idea. It had nothing to do with Daisy!" Yvan's face darkened after hearing that. Even Orion said harshly, "Orianna, did you not remember what I told you last time?" "This is my decision. It has nothing to do with anyone else." Orianna remained stubborn. Coldly, Yvan said, "Since that's what you said, you shall bear the consequences. Don't get help from anyone else." Hearing his words, Alberto quickly said, "Mr. Jenkins, it's my fault. I didn't raise my daughter well enough. "As compensation, I'll gift the place to Ms. Feron for free for the few years Orianna has rented it. I'll bring her home and lecture her properly so she won't cause you any trouble anymore. "Since our families are on good terms and we might collaborate in the future
Because of what Yvan said, Yuna became curious. So she did a simple research on the Stephen family's situation abroad. She actually found some information. Alberto would negotiate businesses through despicable means. When his workers protested, he asked the authorities to catch them and sentence them heavily. It was clear how arrogant the Stephen family was in their home country. When she first met Orianna, she did look up their family briefly. But this information never came up. Now, she found the articles on a foreign online forum. She could tell how well the Stephen family hid their scandals. It seemed that Yvan was right. Sometimes, she really shouldn't judge a book by its cover. So, if that was the case, did the Stephen family have an ulterior motive for moving to the Jefton State? Maybe they couldn't survive abroad any longer, that was why … Laying on the bed, Yuna tried to not think about those things that didn't matter anymore. …The next day, Yuna asked to
Hearing that, Kiara sat up in shock. "You knew? As expected, you guys are close enough for him to tell you anything." Yuna pulled her down to sit. "No, he just wanted to give you a surprise." "For me? Surprise?" Kiara became confused. "Harry thinks he couldn't be with you because he has no status or money." Kiara looked upset when she heard that. "I've never even thought of that." "Kiara, you forgot what I told you at the hospital again." Kiara nodded. "You can continue." "He likes motorcycles a lot, and he always dreamt of starting a motorcycle club. So Sherry and I sponsored him to rent a venue so that he could start the business," Yuna explained. She added, "It's still being furnished now. He told us that he'd surprise you on the day it starts operating." As she expected, Kiara was so stunned that she couldn't say a word. After a long while, she only answered, "He must've needed a lot of money to start a club. Do you guys have enough to spend?" As she spoke, sh
Seeing how she was concerned about him, his brow relaxed. He even joked, "Are you genuinely concerned about me, or are you doing this out of courtesy?" Yuna couldn't understand why he said that. Confused, she asked, "I'm just checking up on you out of concern. Is there a problem with that? Just pretend that I never asked." After that, she lowered her head and continued eating. Yvan was speechless. Did he just shoot himself in the foot? When she didn't lift her head up to ask anything else, Yvan looked upset again. "I was just asking you a question. Why did you have to react that way?" "I was just showing concern. Did you have to doubt my sincerity?" "So you think there's no difference between good and bad people in this world?" "You should only judge that based on different occasions. Can't you tell if the other person is being genuine or not in different situations?" Yvan didn't have to think much about that. He'd certainly be able to tell if he was talking to anyb
Yuna just watched him in silence. Yvan continued, "I've told you. I'd help you investigate what's going on in Roseville." Shocked, Yuna asked, "Did you find something out?" Yvan nodded. "Like I told you last time, they haven't officially started anything there. So their actions wouldn't be too obvious. "Besides, there's no trace of Herbert in that town at all, which means he hired someone to assume his new identity. It's to make everyone think that the new company is started under someone else's name." Upon hearing that, Yuna's face darkened. "If that's what he's doing, he probably has other plans." "It's simple. He doesn't want to give up on the Feron company just like that. He certainly hopes to steal another huge sum from the company before leaving. "That way, he wouldn't have suffered from any losses," Yvan analyzed. Yuna agreed. "Besides, he intends to abandon Cora and their two children. He might already have another woman." That didn't gauge much reaction out o
The next day, Liam also told Yuna about what he found. "I can't believe she's Cora's sister." Liam sounded shocked. "Yuna, if Cora finds out about this, she'd definitely make a big fuss. It'd be the perfect time for our counterattack. Don't you think so?" "It's not the right time yet. If we expose him now, we wouldn't know what might come out of it," Yuna said calmly. Liam was confused, but Vince understood. "Dad, what Yuna meant was that since Mr. Feron has started a new company in Roseville, he'd have the chance to escape. "In the end, he wouldn't be punished here. In that case, our plan wouldn't have succeeded." "That's right." Liam remained silent for a moment. After some thinking, he thought that it made sense. "So we shouldn't expose him for now?" "Not now, but we can collect it as evidence. Now that Herbert plans to have a new child, things would be even more exciting when Cora's sister gets pregnant." Liam then realized what her plan was. He had to agree wit
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
