"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
Yasmine pulled Blake's arm, a hard look on her face. She whispered, "We can't make any trouble now. It'd be hard for us to stay in this company if we do."Blake shrugged her off, impatient. "I didn't need you to remind me of that."The way he talked to her infuriated Yasmine. But she knew she couldn't afford to argue with him. After all, they had to work together to kick Yuna out of the company.She looked away and went to her desk. The news would spread all over the company soon. Yasmine and Blake working under Yuna at the lowest possible level would be the news of the year.Many joked about the two of them in secret. Some even thought that Yuna had won. They agreed that everything should belong to her since her mother was Herbert's real wife.Yasmine and Blake heard the gossip at some point, and it only angered them further.Everything was reported to Yuna. "Really? How did they react to that?" She chuckled as she read the documents."They've been quiet for now. They know that
"You're allowed to like anybody you want." Yuna sat on the couch, still carrying her.Nathaniel shrugged. "I don't have anything to say about that either."Natalie crossed her arms. "I hate Nathaniel."Right then, Yuna's phone rang. It was a call from Yvan. Glancing at the children, she got up to sit on the armchair before answering."Hello.""Are you home?" Yvan asked."I am." Yuna thought about what happened last night. "Why?""I want to come over and see the kids." Though his tone seemed neutral, she could detect a hint of pleading in his voice.For a moment, Yuna's heart softened. She had promised him that she'd let him do that. Now that there was nothing going on, there was no reason to deny such a simple request. "Okay, I'll tell them about it first."Once she hung up, Yuna looked over at the kids.Nathaniel was the first to understand why she had such a look on her face. "Did that man call you?"Sometimes, Yuna wished her son wouldn't be so observant. "Nathaniel,
