Yvan thought the name sounded familiar. Gabriel continued explaining, "She also has a best friend who owns a photo studio named Sherry Scott. The three of them have been good friends since university.""Oh, I see. They're close friends, so it makes sense that Harry would go the extra mile for her." Lucian made a deliberate pause and smiled at Yvan before he continued, "Speaking of which, considering the magnitude of the situation that Yuna is facing, did you do anything to help her?" Yvan crossed his legs and leaned back casually against the sofa. "Why should I help her?"Lucian was used to the way Yvan spoke and handled things. "Didn't she move up the research project by ten days because you saved her the last time? If you had assisted her in dealing with Lester and her family, she might have expedited the process by a month."Gabriel laughed at that. "Lucian, you're expecting too much from Yvan."Lucian shook his head in disappointment. "I probably have."Upon hearing their
Arthur's expression darkened after hearing what Diana said. He ignored her and waved to Yuna. "I'm hungry, Yuna. Let me see what you've made."Yuna walked up to Arthur, and Benson helped her set up the food while Diana's face contorted in anger.Standing on the right side of the hospital bed, Yuna acknowledged Diana with a slight nod. "Mrs. Jenkins, rest assured that I've personally taken care of everything. I purchased the groceries, prepared the food myself, and the food never left my hands throughout the journey here. There won't be issues with it."When Yuna finished speaking, Daisy added, "Aunt Diana, Yuna won't be that careless. If there were any issues with the food, she would be the first one held accountable. She's far too sensible to make such a mistake."Only upon hearing Daisy's words did Diana's expression finally relax.Arthur picked up his spoon and told Diana, "You don't need to be here. Why don't you go back and take care of Samuel?"Diana wasn't planning on leav
Yuna's composure remained steady despite feeling a twinge of alarm. "Grandpa Jenkins, we're just not made for each other, but that won't stop me from visiting you. Come, why don't you try this?"Although Arthur wanted to press on, he knew he shouldn't rush these things. So he complied and took a bite of her food. After she left, he frowned and mumbled, "Her expression never changed, even when I brought it up. Did we get it wrong?"He then looked up at Benson and asked, "Didn't you have a lead? Why isn't there any news yet?"Benson was frowning too. "We did have a lead, but we lost it. I'm not sure what happened, either. The little girl has gone back. I wonder if she was just brought here to Jefton by her mother for a hospital visit.""She left?" Arthur's hopes were crushed. Benson knew Arthur was feeling down, so he consoled him, saying, "Don't worry, Old Mr. Jenkins. Young Mr. Jenkins and Miss Yuna are still young. They still have plenty of time to have children in the future. I
Natalie nodded obediently, recognizing that Mommy's affairs took precedence, even though she longed to see Great-Grandpa."Nathaniel, can they trace it back to us here?"Nathaniel raised his brows. "Are you looking down on me? His hackers aren't even that skilled."Suddenly, there was a knock at the door. Nathaniel immediately closed the webpage, and Natalie opened the door only after they were ready.When she saw Yuna at the door, she lit up. "Mommy, you're back.""What are you two hiding in here for?" She eyed the both of them suspiciously.Natalie quickly thought of an excuse. "We were discussing ways to convince you to buy me a pet. If you don't allow it, I will ask Aunt Sherry to buy me one."Nathaniel went along with her. "I told her Aunt Sherry would be terrified. After all, even Uncle Spencer was afraid when he saw them."Yuna was speechless. She knew her two children had vastly different interests. One was into computers, while the other liked to keep pets, and it wasn
Yuna was about to leave after sending them off when she suddenly heard someone calling her name. "Yuna?"She wondered who was the one who had called out to her. She looked over curiously, only to find that person already running towards her.“Yuna! Yuna! It really is you!” Before Yuna could fully comprehend the situation, that individual embraced her tightly, catching her by surprise."Yuna, you really are alive. Do you know I flew back here from Frosthaven once I heard you are still alive?""Sis?" The woman pinched her cheeks lovingly. "Look at that. You're still calling me sis. Do you know how many tears I shed for you seven years ago? Whenever I saw that brat, I felt like beating him up. I was so frustrated I left for Frosthaven in the end."It was Kiara Jenkins. She was Yvan's sister and the second person in the Jenkins family who had her back. Upon hearing her voice, Yuna felt an indescribable feeling. "I'm sorry for making you so worried, Kiara."Kiara waved her han
Kiara and Yuna were chatting happily when Kiara's attention was drawn to an incoming call. As her eyes caught sight of the caller ID, a disapproving expression washed over her face.Yuna appeared to realize who it was and went silent. She then sipped on her drink calmly."What do you want?" Kiara asked. "Mom said you're back. Where are you? I'll pick you up.""I'm eating.""Where?"Kiara's gaze landed on Yuna, and her mouth curved into a smile. "I'm eating with a friend. You can come if you want."Upon hearing that, Yuna choked on her drink. After a few seconds of silence, Yvan answered, "Where?"Kiara gave him the restaurant's name, and after she hung up, Yuna immediately said, "Kiara, how could you ask him to come?"Kiara waved her hands in dismissal. "Don't think I don't know that the both of you are business partners now. I know that brat's personality best. He must have made things hard for you during this period.""That's not true.""Stop defending him. Just wait. I
Yvan leaned casually against the chair. His features were cold and noble, and his sharp, clear eyes emitted a subtle glow that exuded an air of sophistication. His dark shirt further accentuated his refined temperament.His expression never changed, even when faced with Kiara's question. Instead, he shifted his gaze boldly to Yuna and drawled, "What do you want me to say?"While it seemed he was answering Kiara, his question was directed to Yuna. Yuna pretended not to notice. Kiara smacked his shoulders. "What do you think I want you to say?"Yvan's lips pressed into a thin line as he sucked in a deep breath. "Kiara, we're divorced. Do you think it's appropriate to talk about this here today?""Why is it not?"While he didn't wish to talk back, Yuna intervened and said, "Kiara, today really isn't an appropriate day. After all, Ms. Bailey is Mr. Jenkins' girlfriend. We would be easily misunderstood this way." Yvan raised a brow, thinking that Yuna was obviously having fun. Fi
Yuna eyed him skeptically, as if questioning the reason he was asking about her car.Yvan placed Kiara's arm around his shoulder to steady her. "I don't have a car. Shouldn't you take us home?"Yuna was left speechless. Since Michael had taken his car to drive Daisy home, would she have to drive the siblings home? She would gladly take Kiara home, but not Yvan. It appeared as if Yvan had read her mind. He stared at her with narrowed eyes. "What? You treated Kiara to a meal, but you're not going to send her home now that she's like this?"She cursed internally. She didn't know Kiara had such a low alcohol tolerance, and Yvan would blame it on her. She had miscalculated.In the end, Yuna gave in and collected Kiara's belongings, then walked out of the restaurant by Yvan's side. They did not realize someone had taken the opportunity to secretly snap a picture of them.Yvan helped the tipsy Kiara into the back seat but was soon kicked out by his sister without hesitation. "Drive, br
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
