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
The three of them headed to the go-karting club. After getting changed, Yuna came out first. To her surprise, Darren stood there as if he were waiting for her. "Ashton went to get us some drinks," Darren said as he smoked. "Okay." "Yvan caused me some trouble yesterday, so I had to leave early." Darren suddenly changed the topic. He lifted his head and stared at her, a smile playing on his lips. "I can tell how much Yvan cares about you." Yuna didn't feel too happy hearing that. "You can be straight with me. You don't have to beat around the bush." After that, Darren stood in front of her, smiling. "I just want to remind you to not be fooled by Yvan." Yuna gave him a confused look. "Forget it. You probably won't believe me even if I tell you this now." Darren threw away the cigarette butt. When he looked at her again, there was nothing but coldness in his eyes. "If it wasn't for Ashton, I wouldn't have told you all this useless stuff." He then turned around an
"What do you mean by that?" "What do you think I meant?" Darren walked up to him. "Didn't you see how mindless she's been today? Yvan has been with Daisy after she cut herself. "Maybe the next thing you'd hear from the news would be them getting back together. This is a great chance for you, Ashton." Ashton became quiet. "Don't blame me for not reminding you then. It's tiring to explain things to you so many times." Darren waved him off and went inside to shower. At the same time, Yuna was done showering and getting changed. When she picked up her phone, she saw a lot of missed calls. Most of them were from Yvan. Frowning, she ignored the notifications and called Kiara instead. "Kiara, were you looking for me?" "That brat told me he couldn't reach you, so he called me to ask about it. Yuna, why did you answer the call so late?" "Oh, I was go-karting with my friends, so I didn't hear the phone ringing," Yuna explained. "Go-karting! Who did you go with? Why didn't
His sudden movement took Yuna by great surprise. She pushed him away with all her might. But Yvan still closed their distance. He even pushed her up against the wall, not letting her escape. He kissed her so hard that Yuna almost couldn't catch her breath. But it was as if he thought this wasn't enough. That this was her punishment.When Yuna sensed his intentions, anger filled her eyes as she bit Yvan's lips hard. "Are you done being crazy?" "No!" Yvan's eyes were dark, and his tone was cold. This still wasn't enough for him, even though his lips were bleeding from her bite. Yuna was about to speak more when Yvan went even crazier. Just when he was about to have total control over her, Yuna pushed him with her knee. She seized the chance and ran toward the living room, putting a clear distance between her and Yvan. "I'll never forgive you if you keep doing this!" Yvan wasn't aware of how hard Yuna pushed him with her knee. Wiping the blood off his lips, his cold fac
Yuna couldn't understand what he said. She sat on the couch weakly. Sherry's reassurance from yesterday was useless now. She knew she still had feelings for Yvan but thought she shouldn't feel this way because of Daisy. Even if she agreed to be with Yvan, there wouldn't be peace between them as long as Daisy was there. Besides, they had kids now. She didn't want the twins to be upset because of the matter between them. With that thought in mind, Yuna felt slightly better. "It's okay, Yuna. This is nothing big. Just follow your original plan." After comforting herself, Yuna managed to regain her composure. …For the next few days, gossip about Yvan and Daisy was on the news. Everyone thought that they'd get back together. But Yuna just focused on her work. As for Diana, she never came to cause any trouble for Yuna. So Yuna returned to Lakewood Estate to keep her kids company the day after the incident. She didn't show any signs of dismay. Natalie and Nathaniel were be
After saying that, Blake went up to her again. He suddenly changed the topic. "To be honest, I came to see you today, not just to criticize you. I just think it's sad to see how hard you've been working." His words shocked Vince and Yuna. But when Yuna met his cunning gaze, she knew he must be up to something. "Really? You surely mean that when pigs fly, then." "Yuna, I hope you don't think I was exaggerating. I was right. No matter what you do, Dad would never appreciate you as his child."Besides, your relationship with Yvan now is awkward. If they get back together, I bet Dad will look down on you again. So what's the use of you working so hard?" Yuna could guess the intention behind his words. She smiled knowingly. "So what do you have in mind to make Dad cherish me again?" "I can't guarantee if it'd make Dad cherish you. But I can assure you that you won't need to work as hard. You'd be able to earn money while finding your own happiness."Perhaps Dad would even be h
Yuna eventually found Cora's sister, Amy Cadwell. She then came up with a plan to meet up with Amy. The moment Amy saw Yuna, she stood rooted to the spot. Seemingly frozen at the sight of Yuna, she dared not move an inch forward. She took a deep breath and was about to leave. "Ms. Cadwell, you're at the right place. I'm the one who invited you. Have a seat." When Amy wanted to turn around, Vince stopped her in her tracks. He gestured to her to move forward. Only then did Amy realize that she had fallen into Yuna's trap. Not daring to cause a scene, she had no choice but to sit down. "Why do you want to meet me?" "Do you really not know why I would look for you?" As Yuna spoke, Vince placed one picture after another in front of Amy. Amy's head hurt after seeing all the pictures. How could it be? Yuna reassured her, "Don't worry, I didn't come here to persuade you to leave my dad." That made Amy even more confused. "What do you mean?" "You thought you and my Dad had
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
