Yuna asked to meet Amy again. She brought up Yasmine and Blake on purpose to get information out of her."Dad asked me to go home and have lunch with them. He even said that he was handing the managing power to me. Then, he goaded Yasmine and Blake so that they'd work at the company. Do you think he's testing me?"As she spoke, her gaze lingered on Amy's face. She swirled her coffee cup with careful movements.Amy grinned as she answered, "Ms. Feron, don't worry. Your Dad definitely sees you as his own child now. As for Blake and Yasmine, he's disappointed in them. "The only reason he provoked them was to remind them of how useless they are at the company. That's how your Dad would be able to kick them out of the family."She explained it in detail. "You have to understand your dad. He wants to give you enough stability so my sister and her children won't be able to shake you off."Yuna feigned relief after hearing that. "So that's the case. Looks like I didn't understand how mu
Yuna stood where she was and stared at her. "Is there anything you need?" Yasmine looked composed, as if she had really started being respectful toward Yuna. "Dad asked me to tell you to come back home and have dinner with us. Ms. Feron, if it's not too much trouble, can you drive me there as well?" Hearing that, Yuna pulled her phone out. But she received no notifications of Herbert asking her to come back home. Vince stood on her left as he whispered, "I didn't hear anything about that either." Raising an eyebrow, Yuna looked at Yasmine. "When did he say that? Why did no one inform me about it before?" Yuna said with a smile, "I don't know about that. When I was about to leave in the morning, Dad specifically asked me to tell you. I was too busy with work earlier in the day, so I forgot to tell you, Ms. Feron." Yuna nodded, "Get your things and follow me then." "Okay." Yasmine placed her nametag on her desk and grabbed her bag before dashing over. Right then, Vinc
Yasmine observed as Cora's expression changed. She was honestly surprised by the sight. Back then, Cora had always been arrogant because she had Herbert backing her up. But she actually seemed pretty tamed now. When Yasmine heard what her mother said, she became impatient. "Mom, didn't we agree on this? I won't marry that piece of shit, Joe." "No matter how useless he is, he's a son of the Chandler family!" Herbert scolded her in anger. "But Dad, I'm your daughter. Are you going to send me into that hellhole?" Yasmine asked as she cried. "You—" "It's actually not a hellhole." Yuna suddenly spoke up. Everyone had their eyes on her. Hearing what she said, Yasmine exploded in fury. "Yuna, I know that you're only saying that to make fun of me. You must be overjoyed now because I'm the one whom Dad is pressuring right now, not you!" "What did you just say?" Herbert bellowed. Yuna comforted him, "Dad, it's okay. Yasmine is just being emotional now." After that, she got up
After about ten minutes, Yuna sat across from Cora. "Why do you have to meet me in such a hurry?" "You know your dad is having an affair, don't you?" Cora went straight to the point. "Cora, you're overestimating me now. Why would Dad tell me about anything he does outside?" Raising an eyebrow, Yuna was all smiles. "What kind of person do you think I am, Cora?" Cora snorted. "I know you always see me as the mistress who stole your Mom's place and became your stepmother. Now that your dad is seeing another woman out there, you plan to take revenge on me the same way, aren't you?" "Do I get anything out of taking revenge on you? Would that mean my mom could come back from the dead?" Yuna's eyes were filled with spite, but she grinned at Cora. Cora clearly still didn't buy what Yuna just said. "So, is this what you want to talk about?" Looking away, Cora pretended to be calm. "I just wanted to tell you that even if you work with that mistress to bring me down, I'll never
"I don't have any plans for that. I just want to settle everything on my plate and return to my work in Waleston." The smile on Ashton's face froze a little. "Are you saying that you won't stay in Jefton State?" "I've never considered staying in Jefton State. Mr. Yale, I work in Waleston, and you know that. "Staying here because I'm a shareholder of Feron company isn't reason enough to continue living here. After I'm done with everything, I'll hand over all the work to someone I trust and leave the country." Ashton's eyes widened at her explanation. Seeing his reaction, Yuna continued, "Mr. Yale, I know how you feel about me. But I'm sorry. I'm a divorcee with a lot of emotional baggage. We're not a good match." Ashton didn't expect her to turn him down so directly. "How would you know we're not a match if you've never tried things?" "Mr. Yale, our social statuses are different. Not only that, I only see you as a friend. I don't have any other feelings for you," Yuna sa
"I won't pressure you." Ashton smiled softly. He didn't say anything more. Instead, he searched for another topic for them to chat about. He acted as if he was just a friend. Judging from the atmosphere, Yuna knew it'd make things worse for them if she commented more on the issue. She would just outright reject Ashton the next time he tried to do something anyway. If that wouldn't work either, she could tell him that she already had children. After the meal, Yuna took her leave before he did. Ashton watched as her car left. The smile on his face was gone. He seemed gloomy. Not long after, Darren appeared by his side. With just a glance, he smirked and said, "Looks like someone got rejected." Ashton turned away and headed back to the private room. Darren followed suit. He sat across Ashton. "It's not surprising for her to reject your confession. I told you to make a move sooner, but you didn't listen to me." Sipping his tea, Ashton was calm. He joked, "Are you trying
Mina told Yuna the truth. "Ms. Feron, sharing certain information with you at a time like this would only affect you negatively. But I'll tell you one thing. "Our team has found out that Jerry and the attackers who went after you that night are all working together. Their sudden appearance is still a mystery. They're currently being watched and tracked by a lot of people."We're curious as to why these people keep going after you, but it seems like they're being surrounded by different enemies, too. "I believe the truth will come out soon. It's just that we're not in the best situation now. But that doesn't mean we don't have a way out. So don't overthink this, Ms. Feron. We got your back." After hearing what Mina said, Yuna's mood was lifted. "Thank you for reassuring me." "My pleasure." When Mina went out of the room, she noticed that the door to the next room was barely closed. Nathaniel was standing right there. Quietly, she closed the door to Yuna's room before snea
Right then, Yuna saw someone sending a document to Blake's table. Just after the staff placed the document down, Blake slammed that file onto the staff's chest with a sour look and yelled at him. Without saying anything more, the staff just brought the document with him. Soon, he left via the elevator. Yuna shifted her gaze away. She informed Vince to send Blake into her office. Arrogant as ever, Blake glared at Yuna provocatively upon entering her office. "Hello, Ms. Feron," he reluctantly greeted her. Yuna wasn't bothered by it. Instead, she said, "Blake, do you know what your job position is?" "The one with the lowest rank in the company," Blake replied impatiently. "So you know that well. I thought you were working here in my department to be served like a prince." Her words instantly angered Blake. "What do you mean by that?" Furious, he demanded, "I've done so much work. Isn't that enough?" "The one who gave you the document is your team leader. So what are
