They soon reached Daisy's apartment. The door was wide open. Jolene was standing at the entrance, not daring to go inside out of fear. When she saw Yvan, she felt like her savior had finally arrived. "Mr. Jenkins, you're here! If this goes on any longer, Ms. Bailey would really break everything in the house." Yvan saw the mess in the living room and frowned. He turned his head and told Yuna gently, "Stay here and wait for me. Be careful." Yuna nodded and watched as he entered the house. In just a few seconds, Daisy realized Yvan had arrived and jumped to hug him. Yuna looked away, unwilling to see what was happening. She tried to remain calm. But dissatisfaction and an inexplicable pain shot through her heart the moment she saw Daisy hugging Yvan.She took a deep breath and tried to not let her emotions overtake reason. However, Yvan immediately pushed Daisy away from him. "Tell me why you're set on destroying everything here." Daisy seemed helpless. Her eyes were c
When Daisy saw Lucian, she shook her head. "Don't give me the injection. Yvan, we're not done talking about this. "What sort of relationship do you have with Yuna now? Why do you have to do that? You can only be with me." Yvan had gripped both of Daisy's hands as Lucian quickly administered the shot. Instantly, Daisy fainted into his arms. Seeing that, Yuna took a deep breath. She walked out, unwilling to look at them. Yvan placed Daisy onto a bed in the other room. Lucian asked, "You confessed the truth right in front of them?" He remained silent. "Did you think this was the right moment? You saw how Daisy was just now. And Yuna didn't look fine either." "What would be the right time, then? You said Daisy wouldn't heal so quickly. Why do I still have to put on an act and play along with her?" Yvan's eyes were ice-cold. "I've spent enough years acting for her." Lucian didn't say a word. He was relieved that Yvan seemed to have let go of the fact that Daisy had saved
Yuna didn't say a word. Sherry looked serious. There was a stern expression on her face. "Based on what you told me, Yvan made this decision on the spot. And he said all those things in front of Daisy … "Wasn't Daisy having an attack? Isn't it bad of him to agitate her on purpose?" "I don't know." Seeing how miserable Yuna looked, Sherry went back to the main issue. "So what do you think?" "I don't know." Sherry crossed her arms. "Are you sure about that?" Sherry's question seemed strange to Yuna. She stared at her, curious as she asked, "Why do you ask?" "It's simple. If you don't feel anything for Yvan, you would've made it clear to him after hearing what he said. But you ran off instead, and now you're talking to me about it," Sherry assessed. The words got stuck in Yuna's mouth after hearing that. With a sigh, Sherry asked, "You still feel something for him, don't you?" Yuna remained silent. "It's not surprising that you do. The fact that you resented him
After an hour, Yuna was in Yvan's car again, on their way back to Lakewood Estate. Silence filled the car. Seeing the lack of expression on Yuna's face, Yvan shifted his gaze. He looked ahead and slowed the car down. "Why aren't you saying anything?" "What do you want me to say?" "Why did you run off for no reason?" "I couldn't seem to help with anything back there." Hearing her tone, Yvan sighed. "Daisy's situation is rather special. But if we allowed her to have the false impression, it would only complicate matters." "So, did it work?" Yuna asked, not looking at him. "It's enough to make it clear to her." "Aren't you worried that it would agitate her and worsen her condition?" "Are you concerned?" Yvan asked suddenly. The expression on Yuna's face shifted slightly. "No, I'm just stating the truth." "Lucian would keep an eye on her. If the treatment here doesn't work, I'll send her abroad," Yvan said. Yuna didn't say anything else. "Apart from this, don't
After ending the call, Yvan looked at Yuna. To his surprise, Yuna opened the door and got out. "You should go look for Daisy now. If something really happens to her, it'd be your fault. We're not far from Lakewood Estate here. I can go back myself." Then, she got out of the car without asking for Yvan's permission. Yvan had a grave expression on his face. Only when he got yet another call did he eventually make a U-turn. Yuna didn't know how to feel about it as she watched his car speed away. There's no reason for her to be upset. She had nothing to do with Yvan anymore. Because of him, Daisy might even get into an accident now. He had to be rational and choose what was more important. With that thought in mind, she felt much better. And so, she walked her way back to Lakewood Estate. Upon entering the house, she immediately spotted the kids in the living room with Hesta. Natalie trotted over and hugged her the moment she saw Yuna. "Mommy, you left work early today."
Natalie nodded happily. Then, Nathaniel got up and said, "Let's go, Nat. We'll see if Uncle Spencer's toys are still here." "Oh yeah, let's go look for them." Familiar with all the rooms in the house, Nathaniel led Natalie to the innermost room. When the twins were gone, Cedric's smile disappeared as well. With a serious expression, he stared at Yuna. "Something's on your mind, Surra." "Is there?" Yuna averted her gaze. She said, "I think that there's too much on my plate, that's all. I thought I'd be able to complete everything as I planned, but I realized I couldn't even settle one thing." "It's not your fault. That's because there's a lot of uncertainty now, so it's trapping you here," Cedric reassured her. "Are you facing some troubles?" Yuna shook her head. "No, I just want to deal with the current problem as soon as possible." "About Jerry, I've been trying to contact my men in Barocia. But it's as if Barocia is Jerry's home. He's been able to sneak around,
As Kiara drove, Yuna watched how serious she looked. She couldn't help but feel anxious as well. "Kiara, stop scaring me. Tell me what's going on." "Daisy tried to kill herself," Kiara blurted out loud. "She cut herself, and she was bleeding heavily. When they found her, she lost almost half of her blood. If Lucian didn't find her in time and rescued her, she might've died."She was determined this time. She escaped from the house and hid in a hotel to end her life." The news sent a shiver down Yuna's spine. "How is she now?" "They saved her, but she's still in a coma." "Where are you bringing me to then?" "Somewhere where my mom couldn't find you." "Natalie and Nathaniel—" "Don't worry. If my Mom knows you're with me all this while, she won't go to Lakewood Estate. Natalie and Nathaniel are safe. If not, I wouldn't have called you so many times." "How did you find out, Kiara?" Yuna asked with a frown. "Lucian called me and told me about the situation." "Then
Yuna seemed calm and composed throughout the night, as if her mood wasn't affected at all. The other three keep silent. They just accompanied her by drinking and chatting with her till dawn. …Seeing how the three were still sleeping, Yuna had cleaned herself up. She wore Sherry's clothes and called Vince, asking him to fetch her. When she got into the car, Vince gave her the breakfast that he prepared earlier. "Yuna, you didn't seem to get enough rest." "I drank all night with my friends." Yuna sipped her tea. Her stomach felt much better now. "Do you know what happened last night?" "You heard about Daisy trying to end her life as well?" Vince seemed calm when he heard that. "I was thinking that you'd know about this too." "It has nothing to do with us, so we shouldn't concern ourselves about this." "Yeah." …When it was almost noon, Yuna received a call from Ashton. He wanted to return the car to her. So, she headed out. She didn't expect Ashton would be buy
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
