Calm and composed, Jeremiah looked at Yvan, who had a stern look on his face. After listening to what Nathaniel said, he didn't feel as anxious about the current situation anymore. "Mr. Jenkins, I didn't expect us to meet at such a place." "We would've met if there wasn't any accident just now," Yvan said coldly. Jeremiah still grinned widely. "Mr. Jenkins, we shouldn't care so much about the process. Isn't it good enough for us to be sitting here in the end?" Yvan's understanding of Jeremiah was all based on the information on his laptop. He didn't care about Jeremiah's personality and went straight into the main topic. "Yuna hired you to travel here, didn't she?" "Sorry, I can't answer that question." "Alright then, I'll make you and your team of hackers, whom you hired at a high price, disappear in Bardington before nine tonight." Yvan threatened him with a firm tone. Hearing that, Jeremiah let out a cough politely. He said with a smile, "Mr. Jenkins, we're not enemies
Carl had dinner with Yuna somewhere in Phoenix City. They talked about the investigation in Hultic as well. "Jacob rarely shows up. It's hard to find out if he's the one who's living in that villa. As for his personal assistant, we found that he shares a relationship with Jade." After that, he pulled his phone out and showed Yuna some pictures. "They're probably in a romantic relationship."Yuna frowned after seeing the pictures. She said, " Mr. Smith is the one who helped my dad to get the loan, and Jade is the girlfriend of Jacob's personal assistant. Is Mr. Smith actually Jacob Smith after all?" "It's hard to tell." "At least we know this has something to do with Jacob." "We could put it that way." Carl nodded. "That's why I sent some men over there just to find out who Jacob actually is. Then, we'd be able to solve some of your confusion soon." That made Yuna smile gratefully. "Thank you, Carl." "I don't want to hear that from you," Carl answered. "Alright, since w
Furious, Elizabeth arrived at the restaurant. But she was stopped by Carl's bodyguard at the door. "Ms. Wycliffe, are you here to see Mr. Edwards?" Elizabeth was so agitated by their action. "How dare you block my way!" Unfazed by her aggressiveness, the bodyguard said, "If you happen to come here for a meal, we won't stop you. But you don't seem to be here to eat. We're just making sure that Mr. Edwards can enjoy his meal in peace. Excuse us, Ms. Wycliffe." "You!" Pointing at the two of them, Elizabeth backed away. She couldn't be bothered to talk with them anymore. She told her bodyguards, "Get rid of them!" After that, the bodyguards behind her dashed forward. They started fighting Carl's bodyguards. Elizabeth took the chance to sneak inside. Seeing that, one of Carl's bodyguards quickly informed the other bodyguard inside the restaurant. The bodyguard inside had no choice but to enter the private room. With a tense look, he said, "Mr. Edwards, Ms. Wycliffe is here
Elizabeth glared at her resentfully. "That has nothing to do with you." "You're right. That's why I'm just offering you advice here," Yuna replied calmly. "So, you want to do things like this even if it would make Carl hate you, am I right?" When she heard Yuna's words, her eyes flew to Carl, who was standing at the side. He didn't even bother to spare her a glance. All of a sudden, she felt like backing off. Of course, she wanted Carl to like her instead of hating her. Yuna watched the change of expression on Elizabeth's face. She knew that Elizabeth had calmed down. She said, "Anybody would be mad if you simply barged into the room and pulled the tablecloth away. Besides, you know that Carl and I have had a few meals together. Why are you so upset this time?" Elizabeth became quiet for a moment. She then realized Yuna was trying to worm facts out of her. Again, she looked furious. "Don't be so full of yourself!" After that, she glanced at Carl with dissatisfaction bef
Yuna bid farewell to Carl at the door. Nathaniel saw it from upstairs. Natalie had fallen asleep. At that moment, he was wearing a jacket as he tiptoed his way out of the bedroom. He then made his way downstairs. Yuna took off her coat after entering the house. She went to the kitchen to pour herself a cup of water. When she came out of the kitchen, she saw her son sitting on the couch. Surprised, she asked, "Nathaniel, why aren't you asleep yet? Were you waiting for me?" Nathaniel said, "Yeah, I was waiting for Mommy." Placing her cup down, Yuna sat beside him. She held his head and planted a kiss on his forehead. "Is Natalie asleep?" "She fell asleep much earlier." Nathaniel sat down obediently. He asked, "Mommy, I saw that Uncle Carl sent you home." "You have sharp eyes." "Mommy, do you think Uncle Carl or Uncle Cedric is better?" Nathaniel compared them on purpose. "Or do you prefer Uncle Spencer?" Yuna found his words funny. "Why are you asking such a thing s
Gabriel, who was sitting by Lucian's side, was holding a laptop. He said patiently, "I heard that you're cold and decisive. But you seem pretty cheerful." Narrowing his eyes, Jeremiah glanced at Gabriel. "You're third on the Top Hackers list, aren't you?" Jeremiah replied genuinely, "Don't stare at me with such scary eyes. I lead quite a big team. It wouldn't be difficult to find out who is on the Top Hackers list. But it would take us some time and effort." Yvan looked away. Placing his elbows on his legs, he told Jeremiah, "I didn't call you over to talk about who are the hackers on the list. I want to put our clues together and discuss where Master Eastin is being hidden." Jeremiah nodded, signaling that they could discuss it now. Immediately, Gabriel placed a few pictures on the table. "According to our findings, the headquarters of the Black Crown Organization isn't in Flokstra. What they have here is just their main research center. "Based on their movements in Flokst
Gabriel spent a lot of time trying to figure it out. But as Jeremiah said, he couldn't break the code at all. His face grew serious. Seeing his reaction, Jeremiah said matter-of-factly, "I told you. You can't break it. But you don't have to be disheartened. I would've cracked the code long ago if it's possible." Gabriel furrowed his brow and didn't say a word. He was still trying to think of other ways to solve the problem. Seeing how serious he was, Yvan knew that Jeremiah wasn't joking. He persuaded, "Gabriel, take your time. Don't rush things." Gabriel grunted in response. But his hands didn't stop moving. He was still working on it. Jeremiah leaned back on the chair and stretched comfortably. "Are you guys trying to find the information of these men?" He was referring to those who went shopping and whose pictures were taken by Yvan and the rest by chance. "You couldn't find anything, could you? Perhaps you can check the morgue. They're probably lying in there alread
When she saw the message, Yuna became silent. She was overwhelmed by all sorts of emotions. Sherry: "Like Harry said, maybe Nathaniel approves of this man. He thinks this man would treat you well. That's why he said those words to you." Harry: "Nathaniel and Natalie knew about Yvan. But they're not that little anymore. They definitely know why their parents aren't together. There must've been a problem, and that's why you ended up like this." Sherry: "Kids are stronger than we give them credit for. They might even be more understanding than us. So don't think of them in a complicated or oversimplified manner. Try to think of them as any other regular person. I think you would be able to understand." After reading their explanations, Yuna seemed to feel more relieved. Her mood had improved. She knew what she had to do. …The next day, Yuna took a day off from work. She brought her kids to have some fun outside. Natalie was the happiest. There was joy on Nathaniel's face a
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
