Jeremiah shook his head. "I wasn't the only one who got injured. Even Yvan's men were hurt." Nathaniel became quiet. "Maybe they're just tricking us." Jeremiah widened his eyes. "Are you saying that they're just putting up an act for me?" Nathaniel was calm. "Since the person behind Jerry has something to do with the Jenkins family, he must've known someone was coming after him. So he'd do some tricks to confuse us. Don't you think so?" Jeremiah stared at Nathaniel in astonishment. He felt that such words shouldn't be coming from a boy his age. What was more, he was talking about his own father. "Are we just overthinking it?" "Everything is possible." Nathaniel sounded like an old man. Jeremiah couldn't form a response to that. "Keep a close watch on him. Don't make any big moves for a while. Let's see what they're going to do next." As for my mommy's side, just repeat what you said last time to her. When we head back to Waleston, everything will be easier to handle."
Asking Vince to give the shareholders such an answer had left a bad impression of Herbert on everyone. Nobody was surprised that Yuna took over the projects since Herbert did make it clear before he left that she'd handle everything. When Yuna took charge of everything, nobody was against that idea. In fact, they began to feel dissatisfied with Herbert's sudden work trip, as no one knew what he was involved in. They even started treating Yuna as their superior, showing respect and compliance toward her. This was further complemented by Liam's efforts to create a rift between the shareholders and Herbert. It did create a good result, much to Yuna's surprise. At the same time, Cora heard about this while waiting at home for the good news. Almost right after the meeting ended in the company, she contacted Yuna again to meet up with her. "Cora, you saw how busy I am now." Yuna was still sitting in her office. Sitting across her was Cora, who had just come over. "Didn't you sa
On that night, Cora brought the man to see Yuna as promised. Yuna did want to test her. She didn't think that Cora would be so determined. Cora actually brought that man to her. After a moment of shock, she kept her composure and sat across them. She sized the man up with her sharp eyes. Ever since she knew that Cora had a man she had been intimate with, Yuna had suspicions about Blake's real identity. But now that she looked at it, perhaps Blake was really Herbert's son. "His name is Wayne Davis. He was my neighbor. Because of his help, my sister and I could survive and live well today. So, we owe everything to him." Yuna raised her hand. "I don't want to know how your relationship started with each other." As expected, Cora didn't explain more. "Now that I brought him over, will you stick to our agreement?" "Before we reach an agreement, answer my question." Cora nodded. "Ask away. I'll answer you honestly as long as it's anything I know." Raising her head up, Yuna
Cora was efficient in doing her part. She started causing a ruckus after she got back home. But she didn't know that Yuna was meeting Wayne one-on-one. "What are you trying to do here?" Wayne did not have a good impression of Yuna. After all, he'd always side with Cora. Of course, he was hostile toward her. Yuna sneered, "You think I'd be interested in an old man like you? I know that your feelings for Cora are quite strong. You probably hope that Cora and her children will live well." With a frown, Wayne asked, "What do you mean by that?" Yuna said, "If you want there to be no failure in our plan, there's something you have to do. And you can't let Cora know about it. That way, we'd get better results." Hearing that, Wayne still spoke cautiously, "Are you trying to trick me?" "Why would I trick you? Even if Cora and I are partnering up now, we're just trying to get what we each want for ourselves. We share the same enemy. That's why our interests don't clash." Wayne wa
Grabbing her arm, Yuna went close to Daisy with a dark look. "I told you that I'll come for you after two days." "Aunt Diana won't let you take me away." "If I want to take you away, nobody can stop me." Seeing how Daisy was struggling, Yuna didn't ease her grip on Daisy. "You can move all you want, but when your wound tears up and bleeds, I won't ask anyone to stitch it for you anymore. I'll leave you to die in pain," she said. This time, Daisy felt the pain from the wound on her chest. She didn't dare to move anymore. Yuna snorted. She forcefully dragged Daisy out of bed before placing her in a wheelchair. Daisy wanted to get up, but her face paled when she felt the cold blade on her neck. "Stay still if you don't want to die." Daisy's face turned chalk-white, and she was too mortified to even speak properly. "Yu-Yuna, you." Ignoring her, Yuna wheeled Daisy out of the ward. Right at that moment, Yvan arrived, and Diana grabbed his arm. She pointed toward them an
Biting her lips hard, Daisy stared at the mocking look on Yuna's face. She had faith in Yvan and said, "That's because Yvan doesn't want to have a fight with you. He'll definitely think of some way to save me." "Then you better pray for him to come and save you soon before I end your life." Daisy slumped onto the floor. There was nothing but fear in her eyes. "What, what are you going to do to me?" "So now you're afraid? This isn't like you, Daisy. Think about how you've been acting and pretending to be such a gentle and good girl around them." As she spoke, Yuna picked up a fork and a knife from the side. She went closer to Daisy one step after another. When Daisy saw that, her eyes widened in fear. She staggered backward out of instinct. "What, what are you doing? It's a crime to murder someone, Yuna!" "When you hired Jerry to kill me back then, did you think murder was a crime?" Yuna snickered and said, "I'm feeling exactly how you felt back then. I just want you to
"Yuna, that's not what I'm saying." "But that's what I'm saying. Do you understand now, Mr. Jenkins?" Yuna's tone remained cold. Yvan eventually fell silent. "It's up to me how I deal with Daisy. And I'd like to remind you to keep an eye on your mother as well, Mr. Jenkins. If she wants to save Daisy from me, I won't be bothered to show her any respect." After that, Yuna pulled open the door and went out. As he watched her leave, Yvan's heart sank. It seemed that he and Yuna couldn't go back to how things were before this anymore. When she returned home, Yuna calmed herself down. She put on a smile when she saw Natalie and Nathaniel. But to her surprise, Kiara and Harry were there as well. "When did you arrive?" Harry said, "Just a short while ago." Then, he gave Yuna a look. Yuna nodded and signaled that she understood. Kiara got up and pulled Yuna's arm. "Yuna, let's go out and talk for a bit." "Okay," The two of them headed to the garden. Yuna asked, "What do
Seeing that, Amy immediately went up to stop Cora from throwing another pillow at Yuna. "Cora, stop throwing anything or scolding her! What if Herbert comes back and sees this?" "So what? This evil woman put me in so much misery, so why can't I speak my mind?" After that, she got up. She was going to slap Yuna. But right at that moment, Herbert returned home. The moment he saw what was happening, his eyes first flew to a helpless Amy instead of Yuna, who was about to be slapped. "Cora Feron! What do you think you're doing?" The three women all looked in his direction. When Cora saw Herbert appearing in the house, her eyes instinctively went to Yuna. She couldn't believe it. Yuna was right to predict that Herbert would appear at this time. The next second, Herbert quickly walked to Cora and grabbed her wrist. With a stern look, he said, "What are you trying to do here? Who are you going to slap?" After that, his eyes met Amy's. Catching his signal, she took a few steps b
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
