Yuna took the phone and looked at the pictures. After examining them carefully, she shook her head. "Who's that?" "He worked as a waiter in all the restaurants you had been to for your recent gatherings." "Really?" Yuna stared at the picture on the phone again. "If that's the case, it's not a coincidence at all." "Perhaps that's the man who poisoned you with arsenic." "But why would he give us a chance to capture his face?" "Maybe he's trying to provoke us or that he thought we wouldn't be able to find him. So he doesn't care," Carl explained. Yuna had a grave look. "Also, this man isn't a Flokstrian." "According to our findings, he only has a one-month visa here. He's from Hultic." Yuna was astonished when she heard that. "He's from Hultic?" "Why?" "When I was investigating my dad, I found out that the person who acted as his guarantor of that one-billion-loan is actually from Hultic. And I've found the identity of that man." As she spoke, Yuna turned on her phon
Yuna had been waiting for Cedric to bring her updates. When the sky turned dark, Cedric returned when she was having dinner. Yuna watched as he entered. "Found him?" Carl asked. Cedric nodded. "Yeah, but he's dead." The news made Yuna and Carl's faces darkened. They didn't think it would end up this way. He said, "He headed to a few places today. It was as if he was leading us nowhere on purpose. When we finally found him, he was already dead in a hotel room's bathtub. There was a slit across his throat." Yuna could imagine the scene. Covering her mouth, she felt like throwing up. Carl got up and handed her a glass of water. "Don't think about it." She sipped some water. Her face looked ashen. Standing on the other side, Cedric pushed the bed table to the end of the bed. "Are you alright?" She nodded. "I'm fine, don't worry about me. You guys should handle the matter. We should at least find out if it was a suicide or murder." After that, she said with a serious t
Yuna knew that there was nothing they could do now. As she listened to Carl, she could only stay quiet. Noticing her disappointment, Carl patted her head and comforted her. "Don't worry. Not only are they cunning, but they came here fully prepared. It's normal that we don't have any counter-strategies. Now that you gave me a clue, we'll be able to find something if we start investigating from here." Yuna nodded. She then showed him a photo of another person. "You should look into this woman as well. I think she has something to do with Jacob." Looking at the picture on the phone, Carl became deep in thought. After a moment, he said with a frown, "Jade Hoffman. I've seen this woman before." Yuna's eyes instantly lit up. She asked anxiously, "Where did you see her?" "It was at a summit from a while ago," Carl said. "Who was she with?" "No one. She was alone with an assistant." Sitting at the side, Carl said, "She was representing a company called GE Group. That's when s
It was the middle of the night, and Yuna was resting soundly. She didn't notice someone calling her because her phone was silent. However, the blinking light on the screen attracted Carl's attention when he was still working in the room. Staring at the flickering phone, he showed no intention of heading over and checking it. He only looked away after the screen turned dark again. Indeed, he was curious about who would call Surra at such an hour. At the same time, Yvan just got off the plane. He tried to call Yuna, but she didn't answer. He was guessing that Yuna was probably resting. After he got into the car, Yvan was about to tell the driver to head to the hospital. But he was stopped by Lucian. "That's Carl's private hospital. It'd be filled with all of his staff. Besides, he'd definitely tighten the security there since something happened to Yuna this time. Wouldn't you be exposing yourself if you go now?" "Do I even need his permission to see Yuna?" "Yvan, we're
Right after Carl left, Yvan pushed a trolley into Yuna's ward. He had a white coat and a mask on. Seeing the doctor, Yuna smiled. "Doctor, I feel much better today. Can I be discharged earlier?" Yvan didn't answer. Instead, he closed the door. Yuna began to have her guard up when she received no answer. It was until Yvan took off his mask. "It's me." The moment she saw Yvan, Yuna covered her mouth in shock. Her eyes widened. Keeping her composure, she asked, "Why are you here?" "I heard you were hospitalized, so I came to visit." Walking to the side of the bed, he started observing Yuna. She was still too shocked to understand what was going on. But the next thing she knew, Yvan pulled his phone out. He was still on a video call with Lucian. He pointed the phone camera at Yuna. "Lucian, have a look at her." Yuna felt slightly calmer after seeing Lucian on the phone. "Are you guys in Waleston?" Lucian nodded with a grin. "Yeah. Are you surprised?" Yvan said calml
After five minutes had passed, Carl entered the ward. Yuna was lying against the headboard and had a book in her hands. When she saw him, she pretended to be shocked. "Why are you back here?" Carl looked around. He didn't see the man he thought he would. Calmly, he said, "It's nothing. I just came back here to grab my document." With a smile, Yuna said, "Why didn't you send your men to grab it for you? You even came here yourself." "I know my things the best." Carl went into the room and took his document. Standing by the bed, he said with a grin, "Rest up and get your checkups done." "Okay, bye." Yuna heard the sound of the door closing again. She placed the book on the side. She knew that Carl must've come back because he heard about Yvan. Carl had a bad impression of Yvan from the start. If he knew that Yvan was at Phoenix City, he'd definitely do something about it. After thinking for a bit, Yuna sent Yvan a text: "Don't stay in Phoenix City for long." Yvan wa
Yuna was still ill at ease. Since Carl heard about Yvan's arrival in Phoenix City, she wondered if he'd use the chance to do something to him. She really didn't want to see something like that happening. Her worry didn't disappear until she received an anonymous text on her phone. It was Lucian. He told her that they had left Phoenix City. The moment she saw the text, she sighed in relief. But at the same time, she became curious. Did Yvan come to Phoenix City just to visit her? How did he know that she got hospitalized? Did he send his men to keep a watch on her over here as well? With that thought in mind, Yuna furrowed her eyebrows a little. Her heart sank. Not knowing if her guess was right, she called Mina. "Ms. Feron." "Mina, I need you to check something for me." Yuna briefly told her about the situation. She then asked Mina to investigate if Yvan sent some men here to keep watch over her. Yuna hoped that wasn't the case. Right then, Carl also got the news
"We should only enjoy food like this once in a while. Only then we'd be able to appreciate their scarcity and how delicious they are. "If we eat them every day, we'd get tired of the food no matter how good they are," Yuna said with a grin after taking a bite. As he watched her eat, Carl's dark eyes were filled with joy. "Tell me whenever you want to eat something like this then. I'll have someone prepare the food for you." Yuna answered, "Although I'm not as rich as you, I'm not so poor, alright? Did you think I couldn't afford such a dinner?" He placed his fork down as he chuckled helplessly. "Ms. Surra, you seem to be trying to pick a fight with me." Grinning, Yuna shrugged as if she was just being playful. "Mr. Edwards, your words wound me." "You being able to afford the food has nothing to do with me wanting to buy you a meal." "Okay then. It's not the first time I've taken advantage of you anyway." Yuna beamed brightly. She added, "No wonder Natalie and Nathaniel
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
