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
Ashton said, "Don't you think I'd be able to solve those troubles for you?" Yuna replied, "Mr. Yale, there are things that even you couldn't solve. For example, family matters." Instantly, Ashton glanced at her. Yuna was still smiling. She had unbuckled her seatbelt. "Mr. Yale, please stop the car. I have other things to do and need to leave. I can't head back home or have dinner yet." "I can drive you there." "I have my personal matters to deal with as well, Mr. Yale." Ashton couldn't retort. He could only let her get off at the side of the road. He watched as she got into her own car and left. Ashton stared hard at the car. But soon, he noticed a few black cars appearing and following behind Yuna at a controlled speed. Instantly, his face darkened, and he narrowed his eyes before calling somebody. "Check the plate numbers of those cars." …Of course, Yuna knew that Yvan's men were following her. She told Mina to throw them off by making a turn somewhere. Only the
Hearing that, Yuna smiled a little. "What kind of help are you talking about, Mr. Jenkins?" "That incident only happened two days ago. You have to have more people around to guarantee your safety. Did you think having one female bodyguard would be enough? "My people are carefully selected, and they're extremely skilled. I know what you're worried about. You think I'm watching you. But don't worry, I've told them not to ask anything about day-to-day schedules." Yvan's tone was calm but firm as he said, "I won't ask about whom you meet up with or what you do." Yuna chuckled and said, "Then how did you manage to find me here?" "I happened to be here as well." Coldly, Yuna replied, "What a coincidence then." After that, she turned around to leave, but Yvan blocked her. "Don't refuse my help." He was almost pleading with her, as if telling Yuna not to turn him away. Yuna took a deep breath and remained composed. "Thank you for your kindness. I don't just have one bodyguard
Yuna was on her way back when Darren blocked her car. Darren arrogantly stopped his car right in front of hers, not letting her through. Eyes on the man who was getting out of the car, Gianna said cautiously, "Ms. Feron, should I get rid of him?" When she saw him, Yuna could roughly guess what he was about to do. "Let's wait for now." Soon, Darren reached the back of the car and knocked on the window. Yuna rolled down the window calmly. "I never seem to be able to reach you, Ms. Feron. So I haven't had the chance to invite you for drinks. Would you do that with me today?" Darren smirked devilishly. His arm pressed against the car window as he bent over. Unfazed, Yuna stared at him. "Mr. Bowman, I don't like the way you invite me for drinks." "It's not my first time doing this, though," Darren said indifferently. "Sorry, I'm not free today." "Ms. Feron, don't you think it's rude of you to turn me down?" Darren asked with a pout. Yuna was at a loss for words.Dar
