Sherry gave him a thumbs-up and exclaimed, "You are a good man!"Harry was still wondering if he was being toyed with by Sherry. But then, she handed the bank cards and the property ownership documents to him. "There's one billion in each card, and the property is yours.""What? One billion?" Harry exclaimed while he took the items from Sherry. He felt like the cards and the documents weighed so much that he almost dropped it. His hands stiffened, and it took him a while to open the documents. He was dumbfounded when he saw his name written on them."What's going on? Why is my name on this? And what about these cards? Did you two rob a bank or something? Why didn't you take me with you?" Harry asked anxiously."I earned the money and bought the houses legitimately," Yuna replied with a reassuring smile. "You and Sherry will each get one."Harry immediately placed the bank cards and documents on the coffee table and sat on the sofa, resting his hands on his thighs. He turned
The next day, Ashton came to the company to discuss business with Yuna. He sat in her office as she handed him a cup of coffee. "This is the coffee you often drink."He smiled as he picked up the coffee cup. Then, he took a sniff, and his smile brightened. "I didn't expect you to remember.""It's not difficult to remember something when you mean to do so," Yuna replied.Then, she sat on the nearby sofa.Ashton took a sip and set the coffee cup down.He asked, "Have you handled everything that happened at the Feron company? It always seems like something unexpected happens when I'm away, and I can't help you with anything.""It would be unfitting for me to sit in the position of the CEO if I couldn't even handle these things. Thanks for your concern. Everything is going smoothly," Yuna said with a smile."Now that the entire Feron company is under your control, isn't it a challenge to manage?" he asked."It's not too challenging because there are still many shareholders to hel
Molly's sudden appearance surprised Ashton. Yuna's expression remained calm despite the situation.Ashton's expression darkened. He lowered his voice as he said, "What are you doing? Can't you see I'm having a meal?""Why do you have to eat with this woman?" Molly pointed at Yuna."Molly!"Molly didn't show any fear and stood in front of Yuna. She spoke in a rude tone, "I thought you made it clear to me that you weren't going to see my brother anymore. "You said you don't like my brother. So, why are you doing this? Are you going to continue your ambiguous relationship with my brother? I'll never believe a sly woman like you!"Ashton was so angry that he stood up and grabbed Molly's arm. "Molly, stop the nonsense, or I'll have you placed under house arrest." "Ashton, are you trying to anger Mom and Dad?""You—""Mr. Yale," Yuna called out as she tried to stop Ashton from saying anything more. She calmly got up and looked at Molly. In a composed tone, she said "You're misun
"Alright, I promise you that I won't ask about your company's affairs from now on. But you need to answer my question first. Are you planning to work with Ashton?" Yvan asked."Yes."Seeing how she had answered so frankly, Yvan's expression turned grave. "You can't do that."Yuna lifted an eyebrow, looking displeased. "Mr. Jenkins, I think you've gone too far.""Do you know about the current situation of the Yale family? Do you know what the project will become if Ashton is the one who handles it? Your company just stabilized not long ago. "Do you know how much money your company would lose if you cooperate with him on this project? Are you blindly trusting him just because you have a good relationship with him?"Yvan spoke with a stern tone. "Yuna, I'm not joking when it comes to matters like this."Yuna frowned slightly."If you don't believe me, have someone investigate the project thoroughly."…Sitting in the car, Yuna couldn't stop thinking about Yvan's words. She real
Yuna decided to call Ashton. After several rings, there was no answer on the other end. Just as she was about to hang up, the call was finally picked up."Hello, Mr. Yale," Yuna said."You must be Yuna," a middle-aged woman's voice was heard from the other end.Yuna was stunned for a moment. But soon, she realized that it was Mrs. Yale on the line.Mrs. Yale spoke calmly, "Yes, it's me, Mrs. Yale."Mrs. Yale let out a light laugh that carried a hint of mockery even over the phone. "I didn't expect Ms. Feron to know who I am.""Mrs. Yale, please don't misunderstand. I contacted Mr. Yale because I wanted to discuss some work-related matters.""Work-related matters? Your company and the Yale company are not even in the same field. There's no way you are working together. Using work as an excuse to harass my son, aren't you going too far?" Mrs. Yale's hostility was clear from the start.Yuna had sensed Mrs. Yale's unfriendly attitude during their previous encounter at the hospita
In the evening, Yvan unusually invited Kiara out for dinner.Kiara sat across from him at dinner. She scrutinized him for quite some time.Then, she couldn't help but ask, "You're not trying to bribe me and ask me to help you get back with Yuna, are you? You better get rid of that thought. I don't want my relationship with the twins to turn bad because of you."Yvan didn't get angry at her assumption. Instead, he answered seriously, "No.""That's good," Kiara continued eating."I need to go abroad for a while, so I want you to take care of the company."Kiara choked on her food and coughed uncontrollably. She had to gulp down water before finally recovering. "I didn't quite catch that. Could you repeat what you just said?""I need to go abroad for a while, and I want you to take care of the company," Yvan repeated calmly.Kiara's eyes widened in disbelief. "Are you going after Yuna?"Yvan did want to pursue Yuna overseas, but he had more important matters to attend to first.
Ashton did not provide a reason for his behavior. But, he simply said, "It was my oversight. I'll take care of it. You don't need to worry."Seeing him like that, Yuna felt even more convinced that it was all just a misunderstanding among friends. So, she didn't press on further."I still want to explain why my mother acted that way," Ashton suddenly changed the topic, his expression earnest. "If you think I will give up because of this, you're wrong. Besides—""Mr. Yale, I'll be returning to Waleston very soon," Yuna interrupted him. She decided to be honest about her situation.Upon hearing that, Ashton's expression froze. He looked at her in shock. "You're going back to Waleston?""Yes, I'm close to wrapping up everything here. I'll entrust the company to someone I know will do a good job. I have my duties in Waleston, so I need to return."Upon hearing the news, Ashton realized that Yuna was planning to return to her research institute. "I thought you gave up on that.""I wo
After ending their conversation, Yuna and Ashton went their separate ways. She was heading back to Lakewood Estates.Ashton sat in the car, silently watching the receding figure of her vehicle, his gaze turning dark. His mind was now filled with the photos Yuna had shown him earlier.He tightly gripped the steering wheel, wanting to crush it in frustration. He never expected Yuna to give birth to twins that belonged to her and Yvan. No wonder he couldn't get Yuna's approval even if he did a lot of things for her. He took a deep breath, but he couldn't help but feel a sense of resentment.Just when his mind was in turmoil, his phone rang. He quickly adjusted his mood and answered the call. He heard his assistant's voice on the other end, "Mr. Yale, we've captured the person.""Good, I'm on my way."After hanging up, Ashton made a U-turn and drove away.Ten minutes later, he arrived at an upscale private club. He looked at the man who was bound to a chair, his gaze heavy. He remo
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
