Yvan didn't say anything as a reply. He merely asked Michael to drive over so he could leave. Eyes on Yvan's car, Kiara sighed and shook her head. When she returned to the living room, she found her mother kneeling in front of Arthur, bawling her eyes out. Wiping her tears, Diana said, "Dad, I didn't know about any of those things. If I did, how would I possibly do anything to her? "Didn't we always hope for Yvan to have children? Now we know he has two. Since they're obviously a part of our family, of course, we have to see them." Kiara was angry upon hearing her words. She walked up to Diana and said, "Mom, how could you say that? Do you know how much Yuna had to go through to give birth to Natalie and Nathaniel? "She was hit by a car and suffered from serious injuries. She almost died back then. She had to hang in there all alone, being out of the country. Only then did she manage to give birth to them."All these seven years, she worked hard to raise the twins. We never
Just as Harry predicted, Diana really went to visit Yuna. She even came to the Feron company. Yuna told Vince to turn her away. But this time, Diana didn't even make a call. She merely waited for Yuna at the company's entrance. "Yuna, it's been an hour, but it doesn't look like Mrs. Jenkins will leave anytime soon. Besides, a lot of people from the company are there gossiping about this now," Vince reminded Yuna after entering her office. Yuna's expression turned grave. Putting her pen and document down, she got up and headed out. When she reached the entrance, Diana came out of her car happily. "Yuna, are you done with your work?" Taking in Diana's obvious change of attitude, Yuna was unfazed as she said, "Mrs. Jenkins, is there anything you need from me?" "Why don't we talk about it in a restaurant? You must be tired after working for so long." Diana sounded as if she was trying to please Yuna. Yuna frowned a little, but she agreed. This was so the company staff wouldn'
Yuna stared at her coldly, "Mrs. Jenkins, I told you the kids are mine. They have nothing to do with the Jenkins family. "If you're so desperate to have grandchildren, why don't you rush your son to get married. I believe you'd have grandchildren soon that way." This time, she left without hesitation. Watching Yuna open the door and leave, Diana clutched her chest in dismay. She knew that it was impossible to convince Yuna so easily, but she wasn't going to give up because of this. With that thought in mind, she quickly called Yvan. …After Yuna returned to the company, she was called to the CEO's office. Herbert looked at Yuna kindly. "Did you go out with Mrs. Jenkins just now?" Yuna nodded. His eyes lit up as he said, "Why would Mrs. Jenkins treat you so well out of nowhere? She isn't trying to get you and Yvan married again, is she?" "No." Herbert then seemed confused. "Why did she wait for you for an hour in front of our company then?" Yuna explained patientl
Hearing that made Yuna widen her eyes a little. She quickly looked away and put on an icy expression. She took a few bites and asked, "Can you tell me now?" Yvan didn't keep her hanging, either. He said, "Jerry left Barocia. He's escaped to Flokstra." Yuna's face paled upon hearing the news. She pressed him further. "Are you sure he's in Flokstra?" Noticing the change of expression on Yuna's face, he asked, "Is there any problem with him being in Flokstra?" She quickly hid her surprise. "No. I just think that Flokstra is quite far away from here. How would he be able to escape there so easily?" Yvan frowned a little. He didn't ask her why she was so surprised. Instead, he said, "It's simple. Flokstra is his boss' territory. "I was curious why he'd stay in Barocia for that long at first. Now that I think about it, he probably did it to attract our attention there. "Then, when we shifted our attention from everything else, it gave him a chance to escape." Yuna thought o
As the car drove away, Yvan looked away from the rearview mirror. He then turned to look at Yuna beside him. "If you keep mingling with Ashton like that, he'll find out about Natalie and Nathaniel sooner or later." "Mr. Yale doesn't hold any bad intentions against me. Is there a problem with him knowing Natalie and Nathaniel's existence?" Yuna answered as she looked at him. She added, "Mr. Jenkins, please don't judge people so easily." Yvan gave in. "That's not what I meant. I just don't want anyone to affect the children's personal lives." "I'd like to know how your mother found out about the kids then." He became quiet. Yuna looked away. "I hope you won't meddle in my affairs. Don't cross the line." Right after that, Yuna answered a call. "You're here. Yeah, okay." Seeing how she was still cold and callous, Yvan felt somewhat upset. "We're heading back to the same area anyway. Why do you have to get out of the car?" "As an adult, you should know what's the right thi
Lucian had a huge grin and gave her puppy-dog eyes. "Ms. Scott, you wound me. I'm clearly being sincere." Sherry felt like throwing up after hearing that. She sized him up in disgust. "In my eyes, doctors should be people who save lives and have a sense of justice. But all I could see in you is cunningness and schemes, surprisingly." Lucian became speechless. He chuckled helplessly. "Ms. Scott, you're going to make me cry." "Okay." Sherry crossed her legs calmly as she got her coffee from the side. "Cry then." Lucian then realized that it wasn't possible to sway her at all. His legs suddenly felt weak. "I still wish to be friends with you. Please give me a chance, Ms. Scott." "Sorry, I don't like making friends." Sherry placed her cup down and raised her brow. She then asked, "Dr. Storm, are you done choosing your pictures yet?" "Not yet. That's because all the pictures you took are amazing. There doesn't seem to be any bad one." Sherry rolled her eyes at his lame p
Hearing that made Lucian's smile grow wider. "It's happening soon, then. It's the end of the month now. There's only another month till then." Sherry grunted in response. "I'll definitely send over an extravagant gift on that day to celebrate." "Well, thank you so much," she replied out of courtesy. It was just a polite exchange of conversation between adults, anyway. She wouldn't care if he'd actually sent a gift. Lucian suddenly said, "Ms. Scott, can you stop the car over there?" Sherry immediately stopped the car. "What's wrong?" "I have to get a cup of coffee." "It's already nighttime. Are you not planning to sleep?" Widening her eyes, Sherry looked at him in shock. Lucian shrugged bitterly. "I don't have a choice. There are still some documents I have to sort. If I can't finish them tonight, tomorrow's meeting will have to be delayed. Then I'll have to work overtime tomorrow night." Sherry didn't know what to say. So the rich ones didn't have it easy either,
After some thinking, Yuna said, "I can only decide after this month is over." Sherry nodded. "It's too early for me to ask you." The two stopped talking about that. Turning their attention to the movie, they ate and talked about the movie plot. …When Yuna reached the company the next day, Vince gave her a black gift box. Seeing that, she asked curiously, "What is this?" "Someone sent this to the security office last night. They said that it's for you." After that, he pulled out a card and gave it to her. Yuna flipped open the card. The words on the card were familiar. "Someone you know." Alarmed, she furrowed her brow. "Open the box, but be careful." Vince nodded as he cautiously opened the box. Inside, there lay two dolls with their limbs separated. It was a boy and a girl. The moment Yuna saw this, her face turned white. "This must be a prank! Who would be so evil?" Vince was agitated. He immediately put the lid back. "Yuna, don't be afraid. I'll find out who wa
