Their gazes stayed on Yuna, seeming as if these men were ready to devour her any minute. However, she wasn't mad. Instead, she laughed. "Yvan is indeed an unlucky man. But do you guys think you are lucky enough?"Immediately, the lively atmosphere became awkward. Yuna swirled the wine in her glass and looked around. "I wasn't even interested in a man like Yvan Jenkins; what gives you the idea that I would be interested in guys like you all? I'm really curious. What did my father tell you guys to give you all the confidence to sit here?"Everyone's face was contorted with rage, as nobody expected Yuna to ridicule them.Suddenly, a fat man slammed his fist on the table. "Yuna Feron! Who do you think you are to act so arrogantly in front of us? Humph, are you using the fact that you studied abroad to give yourself some extra credit after being divorced?" Another guy went up beside Yuna and placed his hands on her shoulders. He gave her a wretched smile. "Yuna, as a woman, you should
The guy’s face turned pale. It was obvious who Yvan was siding with. He only believed in his ex-wife.The guy swallowed nervously, his heart pounding. Finally, he pleaded, "Mr. Jenkins, we never talked behind your back. We were only here because of Mr. Feron. Otherwise, how would we be here with such a—"Yvan took the bottle and smashed it on the guy’s head, causing him to fall to the ground in pain. "Are you deaf? Or do you just not understand what I’m saying?" Yvan was livid, and he showed his impatience on his face. Then, he looked around and said, "Since you’re all invited, then have a good time drinking to your fill. Michael, keep a close eye on them. They’re only allowed to leave when this place closes."After that, he pulled Yuna out of the room, leaving everyone dumbfounded. This restaurant was open 24/7. Was Yvan trying to overdose them with alcohol? Yuna didn’t resist Yvan and let him bring her to an empty private room. Then she was pressed against the wall. She wasn’t
Yvan was completely distracted by Yuna's sudden appearance. So he told Daisy softly, "Sorry, let's cancel tonight's dinner. I'll bring you here another day."Daisy's face turned pale as the lipstick stain on Yvan's tie caught her attention. She clenched her fist, and her gaze gleamed with anger and hate. Still, she forced a smile and agreed easily. "Alright." She gritted her teeth while staring at Yvan's departing figure. Why was Yuna still alive?!…Later, Yuna returned to her apartment. After showering, she video-called her children while sitting on the couch. They answered the call in just a few seconds."Mommy! Mommy! I miss you so much." A chubby, round face popped up on the screen."Natalie, don't shake the phone. Mommy might get dizzy." A handsome little face appeared. He took the phone away from Natalie and placed it on the table.Yuna gave birth to twins. The first to be born was a boy that looked like Yvan, while his sister looked like Yuna. No matter where Yuna broug
The next day, in the private room of a high-class restaurant, Yvan was looking at his watch. He had waited for more than 40 minutes, but Surra still had not shown up. Never before had anyone dared to let Yvan wait for such a long time. "Sorry, the traffic was congested on the way here, so we're late." The private room door suddenly opened, and Yuna went in with a smile, Rosy behind her.Michael was shocked when he saw Yuna, while Yvan's expression was livid. He couldn't believe his own eyes, as he had never expected Yuna to be Surra.Rose was terrified as she stood beside Yuna. When she entered, she could already feel the strong hate coming from Yvan. She put the documents on the table with trembling hands. "M—Mr. Jenkins, this is Ms. Surra, and we…""No need for introductions. I know her. All of you, out. I want to speak alone with Ms. Surra." Yvan's tone was cold, and his gaze was deep. Soon, only two of them were left in the room. Yvan demanded, "What tricks are you up to?"
"It's improper for men and women to have such close contact."Yvan felt that Yuna was messing up his mind and emotions; he had never felt this uneasy. He coldly asked, "Conditions. Anything you want.""Mr. Jenkins, it seems you care about this project very much." Hearing her teasing tone, Yvan didn't reply and only glared at her.Then, Yuna slammed the documents on his chest and smiled. She didn't seem scared of Yvan at all. "Mr. Jenkins, if you want to sincerely invite me to partner with your company, that's easy. Just find the person who tampered with the drink that night and make them apologize to me. Then, this project is a done deal."The veins on Yvan's forehead were pulsing. "Weren't you the one who said no personal feelings?" "Mr. Jenkins, you're the one who said I can ask for anything. I'll give you one day. No second chances once the time is up." And with that, Yuna left the room. When Michael saw Yuna leave, he quickly entered the room. Seeing Yvan's livid expressi
Herbert’s eyes widened. He obviously didn't expect his daughter, who used to be so meek, to say that to him. However, Cora quickly seized the opportunity to add insult to injury. "Herbert, look, she’s even talking back to you now. I don't know where she learned this behavior, but I bet she’s here to screw things up on purpose. Why else would she agree to the engagement and then offend them?"Herbert agreed after he heard Cora’s reasoning."Yuna! Repeat what you said!"Yuna glared at him coldly. "Don’t you remember how my mother died?""What is the point of this question? You think I killed your mother?" Herbert yelled."Yuna, you’re so heartless. How could you blame your mother’s death on your father? Don’t you know how many sleepless nights your father had to endure because of your alleged death?" Cora added.Yuna thought her stepmother was hilarious. If her death had devastated her father, she would have voluntarily died young just so he would suffer.She stood before them wit
"Yes!" Spencer punched the air in excitement. Nathaniel raised his head to look at Spencer and pushed his sunglasses further up his face. "Uncle Spencer, I hope you can also continue doing a good job keeping the secret."Spencer quirked his eyebrows. "Don’t worry about it; let’s go! We can get off the plane now. Hold my hand, children, and don’t run off."The children exchanged a look once Spencer wasn’t looking, as if they were conspiring.That night, Yuna received a call from Yvan, asking to meet up.Yuna was aware of how efficient Yvan could be when he was working. Besides, that situation seven years ago happened in his house, and she knew how important this project was to him.She was deliberately utilizing his interest in the project to indirectly make him investigate matters for her.Even if decades had passed, she would not give up until she proved that she was innocent if she was wrongly blamed for something she didn’t do.Once she arrived at Twilight, she was personal
Yvan stared at Yuna silently, but Yuna was unphased by his piercing gaze. "Wasn’t it you who suspected me of tampering with the wine back then?" she asked him instead."Can you swear that you had no ulterior motives that day?" he asked coldly.His words felt like a knife in her chest.Of course she had ulterior motives. She had thought that if they consummated their marriage, then maybe he would change his mind about her.But things didn't work out like that. Once he had set his mind to something, he wouldn’t change.She arched an eyebrow and repressed those thoughts. "Mr. Jenkins, Even if you wanted to use emotions to convince me to work with you, you still shouldn’t use things that have never happened as leverage. It’s very insincere," she said, smiling.Yvan's expression darkened at her reaction. "You should make good on your promise now.""Are you apologizing to me?""Take what you can get, Yuna."Yuna didn't back down. "But sincerity is the core of doing business."Yvan
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
