Orion's behavior was confusing to Cedric and Yuna. But they couldn't pinpoint exactly how he was being weird. "You two should eat. I'll head to the bathroom." Orion got up and left the room. After he left, Yuna looked at Cedric. "Cedric, why did he reach out to you?" Cedric said, "It's just like what he explained to you. He was worried you wouldn't be able to have a good discussion with him because of the issue with Orianna. So, he invited me. "Since I had nothing else to do and I wanted to see what he was up to, I came over. Maybe we're just overthinking it. He probably just thinks I'm your senior, that's all." Yuna nodded. She didn't think much about it anymore. The door to the private room was opened. A waiter pushed a small trolley in with his head down. As he moved all the food and alcohol from the trolley to the table, he stood beside Yuna. Gianna, who was guarding outside the room, felt that something was off. When she noticed something strange, she didn't shout at
Cedric's head was spinning. Grabbing the armrest, he stared at Yuna with a tense look. "Surra, what's going on?" Knowing that she couldn't hide it any longer, she explained everything to him."Cedric, I got the news two days ago that someone hired a killer from the black market to come after me. So, I hired two bodyguards. "Gianna, who was at the hotel, and Mina, who's driving right now, are twin sisters. They're here to keep me safe. So you don't have to worry. Nothing bad will happen." Cedric's face paled after hearing that. "How could you not tell me something so important sooner?" "You saw what's going on, Cedric. Because of me, you got dragged into this mess. I didn't want this to happen. That's why I didn't tell you about it," Yuna said with a hint of guilt. "You're ridiculous!" Instantly, another car rear-ended them.Mina readjusted their direction. Glancing at the rearview mirror, she said calmly, "Ms. Feron, there are three cars coming after us now. Sit tight. I
"Gianna, how's everything?" "He escaped." Gianna told her on the phone, "I'm rushing over based on your location. You have to be careful, Mina. "Nathaniel said that they've increased the number of attackers this time. They even set up a few ambushes. They're determined to catch Ms. Feron this time." "Okay, got it. Meet up soon." After the call, Mina looked at Yuna from the side. "Ms. Feron, we're still in danger. I'm afraid you and Mr. Xavier would still have to hang on tight." "It's okay." Yuna had already sighed in relief. From what Mina just said, she knew this wasn't as simple as she thought. Right then, a small truck appeared out of nowhere at the junction ahead. Its high beam was activated, and it was honking so loudly that their eardrums couldn't handle it. At the same time, Cedric lunged toward Yuna and shielded her with his body. Their car turned around at lightning speed. The huge impact lifted everyone in the car off their seats. Their car crashed into a stre
Sitting on the couch in the living room, Yuna had to collect herself. She texted Sherry to ask her if she was home. When she heard that Sherry was at home playing with the kids, she heaved a sigh of relief. She explained she suddenly had to deal with her work somewhere else tonight, so she might not come home. She needed Sherry and Lucy to take care of the kids. Not sensing anything strange, Sherry agreed readily. But Yuna wasn't aware that Nathaniel knew the situation Yuna was in. His phone would light up from time to time. They were all updates from Mina. He could only stop worrying about Yuna after making sure that she was safe. But he knew that things wouldn't end so easily. After almost an hour, they heard something outside of the villa. Cedric said, "Stay here. I'll go out and have a look." Yuna watched as Cedric headed out. Pursing her lips, she got up to see what was going on from afar. But to her surprise, she saw Yvan. Right then, Cedric and Yvan were standing
Yvan protected Yuna in his arms as he ordered the men behind him, "Protect the villa!" After that, he quickly brought Yuna into the house. At the same time, Cedric ran outside after hearing the noises. "Surra, are you okay?" "I'm fine." Yuna tried to calm herself down as much as possible. "How did they manage to find us here so fast?" "They're determined to find where you are. Of course, they'd do anything," Yvan explained. "Surra, stay here and don't go anywhere." Exchanging a look, Cedric and Yvan made a silent agreement as they hurried out of the house. "Cedric? Yvan!" Yuna clenched her teeth. The sound of gunshots never stopped, she could even see sparks here and there. She wanted to head to the door, but there seemed to be quite a lot of bullet holes in it. The sight of that scared her so much that she didn't dare to go near. It was a fierce battle out there, and she could feel it. She was the only one inside the villa. Everyone else was fighting outside. She k
The man became impatient as he attacked faster. Anything his dagger cut through was broken into pieces. Yuna's eyes widened in fear, her face pale. Yvan quickly grabbed her arm and pulled her behind himself. At the same time, he started fighting with that man, unarmed. The man's eyes were ice-cold as he glared at Yvan. He swung his dagger quicker to attack him. The sight of that made Yuna break out in a cold sweat. Fetching a flower pot from a corner, she threw it right toward the man without hesitation. The man dodged it, and the pot crashed into pieces. The man squinted. After several rounds of fighting against Yvan, his dagger almost fell off his hand and flew toward Yuna. Yvan leaped upward and caught the dagger in time. But he caught the blade part of the dagger. The sharp blade cut into his palm mercilessly. The man let out a cold snort. "You're one of a kind. But you won't be as lucky next time." After that, he crashed into a glass wall and escaped immediately. Y
Yuna was in low spirits as she sat in the car. Cedric ruffled her hair. "I've asked someone to stay back. He'll tell Yvan about us leaving." "Okay," Yuna said calmly. "They probably won't come after us again tonight." Mina, sitting in the front seat, nodded. "Looks like they won't. But we're still unsure of when they'd attack again." Cedric took a deep breath, and he had a grim look on his face. "If we don't deal with this matter once and for all, you'll always be in danger." Yuna could understand Cedric's concern. She said, "You don't have to worry about me, Cedric." "After what happened today, how can I not worry about you?" Cedric scolded her. "I won't be heading back to Waleston anytime soon. I'll stay and keep you company here. When you're safe, I'll think about going back home again." "Cedric—" "It's non-negotiable."Cedric had always been a man of his word, so Yuna could only give in. ...Yvan rushed Lucian to get it over with quickly. But when his wound wa
"It's probably Yvan," he said. Yuna averted her gaze. Placing her phone down, she said, "Probably. After all, he also brought some men along when we were on the streets. If his appearance was revealed, it would affect him negatively." She tried to make up a poor excuse to distract herself. "I'll be seeing Yvan today." Yuna watched him curiously. "Why do you have to see him?" "He saved you twice yesterday. As your senior, shouldn't I thank him for you?" Cedric asked her. "Or do you prefer to thank him yourself?" After a long pause, Yuna eventually said, "It'd be better if you go instead of me." "Yeah." ...Cedric met up with Yvan somewhere outside. After the two sat down, Cedric placed everything he prepared on the table one by one. "I have to thank you for what happened last night, Mr. Jenkins. Yuna and I don't know how to repay you, so we bought some things for you. I hope you'll like them." Seeing that made Yvan feel uncomfortable. It was as if Yuna treated
