Yuna's words caught Nathaniel's attention, who was sitting in the living room. He stood up and walked to the entrance hall.Natalie had already opened the box. When she saw the rare lizard lying inside, she exclaimed in surprise, "Wow, these are all very rare lizard breeds!"Nathaniel stood behind her and looked at the box that still held other items. His expression remained unchanged.Sherry also approached the group and softly asked, "Who sent these?"Yuna gave her a subtle look, and Sherry immediately understood.Nathaniel said, "We can afford these things, so I want to return my share to him. If Natalie likes them, she can keep them."Upon hearing Nathaniel's words, Natalie quickly put down the box in her hands. "If Nathaniel doesn't like them, then I don't either. We can get these pets when we return to Waleston. Uncle Cedric will definitely get me the pets I like. Keeping these now would be troublesome when we have to take a flight. Mommy, you can send these back."Yuna
Upon hearing the news, Yvan remained calm and said, "Isn't that normal?"Lucian replied, "It's not normal. A few months ago, Cedric secretly took people to Flokstra to search for Master Eastin. He even stayed there for a whole month. "However, he didn't bring Master Eastin back to the country. Plus, there are issues with that research institute. I can only know about the specifics of the situation once I conduct further investigation."Yvan had a bad feeling. "Find a way to send some people there to investigate. I want to know everything about Master Eastin.""Understood."Before hanging up, Lucian asked, "Are you thinking of telling Yuna?""Cedric didn't inform Yuna about the situation. Otherwise, she would definitely rush to Flokstra, given her personality. He definitely had his reasons to keep it a secret. It wouldn't be a good thing for Yuna if I were to tell her now. I'll tell her when the time is right.""Alright. I'll leave it to you then."After hanging up, Yvan took a
Yuna said in a cold tone, "If I could choose, I wouldn't want to be your daughter. It's simply disgraceful.""You—""Are you only here to tell me about the debt?" Yuna asked. Herbert forgot all the words he had to say in an instant. He felt that nothing he said would get through to Yuna.Clearly, he had underestimated his daughter. He truly felt fear and panic at his current situation."Yuna, I'm your father," he stubbornly declared."You don't need to remind me of that all the time. Even if you're my biological father, you're the murderer who killed my mother. So, this cell is where you belong!" Yuna sneered with a vicious smile.She added, "If you don't want to stay here, ask your guarantor to get you out. Since he's capable of helping you get a loan, he must have a lot of power. He should be able to get you out, right?"Herbert fell silent, his eyes filled with panic."You—" He tried to get up, only to remember that he was handcuffed.Yuna wasn't going to continue arguing
Yuna received a call from Kiara. "Yuna, Grandpa just told me to ask for your opinion. He wouldn't bother Natalie and Nathaniel if you don't want him to."Yuna was calm. She did not care how Arthur found out that the twins were in Lakewood Estate since they would be traveling overseas soon. "Alright. I will ask Natalie and Nathaniel. I'll get back to you later.""Sure."After hanging up, Yuna called Natalie. "Mommy." It was Nathaniel who answered. "Nathaniel, your great-grandpa knows that you are in Lakewood Estate and wants to come see you. Do you want to see him?" Yuna asked. After a moment of silence, Nathaniel said, "Great-Grandpa is nice to us. He is nice to you, too. So we can see him. Natalie misses him anyway, so it's alright to see him before we leave."Yuna smiled as Nathaniel's answer was exactly what she expected. "Alright. I will call your aunt and get her to bring him over.""Okay."After ending the call, Yuna texted Kiara right away, asking her to bring
"Exactly what I'm saying."Ashton placed the prepared documents and photos in front of her one by one, "Take a look at these first."Yuna read through them patiently with a stern expression."Initially, there were no issues with this project. After all, I've been working on it for so long to prepare for jumping into a new field. "I didn't expect such problems to arise in the blink of an eye. But the more I think about it, the stranger it seems. "The whole thing felt like a perfect scheme that suddenly took place. I decided to investigate further, and to my surprise, Yvan was involved. "Maybe you can't believe it. You might even think Yvan had no reason to do such a thing. And to be honest, I had trouble believing it at first. But with proof before our eyes now, there's no debate about it," he said. Yuna's expression grew somber.Ashton looked at the change in her expression and calmly took a sip of tea, his eyes gleaming. When he put down the teacup, he said, "I know you
Arthur held the children's hands and happily sat on the couch. He asked them how they had been during this time, conspicuously avoiding the topic of Yvan and Yuna.Natalie was a little chatterbox, which amused Arthur.Meanwhile, Nathaniel remained focused on the door. Yuna mentioned she would be back soon, yet was nowhere to be seen even though Arthur had already arrived. Kiara noticed his unease and asked softly, "What's wrong?""Mommy said she would be here soon, but she hasn't arrived yet.""It's normal. Your mommy has to manage the whole company now. She might have gotten delayed due to some last-minute issues. Don't worry," Kiara reassured him.Nathaniel had no choice but to stop worrying about it.In the kitchen, Aunty Lucy had finished preparing lunch and smiled at them. " Mr. Jenkins Senior, Ms. Jenkins, Natalie, Nathaniel, shall we have lunch now?"Natalie held Arthur's hand and said, "Great-Grandpa, let's go. Aunty Lucy's food is delicious.""Alright, let's eat."N
A few minutes later, Ashton was about to check on Yuna when his assistant entered nervously. "Mr. Yale, Ms. Feron has left. She said it would be inconvenient for you if she stayed here, so she went back to rest."Ashton's expression darkened upon hearing that Yuna had left so quickly. "Did she sense something was wrong, or did she simply want to leave?" he wondered. As Ashton stepped outside, he called Yuna. She answered the call immediately, and he asked, "Yuna, why did you leave? You haven't fully recovered yet. I'm really worried about you.""Don't worry, Mr. Yale. I just wanted to go home and rest. I'm actually fine now, so you don't have to worry.""If I had known you had a walnut allergy, I wouldn't have prepared that dessert. It's the latest dessert from our club.""Mr. Yale, don't blame yourself. Not many people know about my allergy.""Alright, please rest well. If you have any problems, be sure to let me know, okay?""Okay."After hanging up the phone, Ashton l
Yvan took a deep breath, deciding not to argue with Gianna. Without a second thought, he immediately grabbed her arm and pushed her aside. Michael was right behind them. So, when Gianna attempted to retaliate, he intervened and stopped her.Gianna's expression darkened. She came close to losing to Michael before. Her irritation now escalated as old grudges and new grievances combined.The next moment, Gianna launched a fierce attack.Just as Yvan was about to enter the room, he saw Gianna push back Michael. She was about to catch up to Yvan, but Michael swiftly got back on his feet and once again blocked her path.Meanwhile, Yvan had entered the room and saw Yuna lying on the bed, resting.He knelt by the bedside and checked her pulse on her neck. Then, he answered a call from Lucian, who asked, "How's Yuna doing now?""Her pulse is a bit slow," Yvan said. "I already sent the medication, didn't I? Inject it directly into her arm. I've taught you how," Lucian said. "Ho
