Carlos's eyes were fixed on Yuna. Murderous intent filled his dark eyes. She had nowhere to run. But Yuna remained calm and composed. She knew that she shouldn't fight against Carlos. She also had to buy time for others to come and save her. "Carlos, do you think Elizabeth would get to marry Carl once I marry any man or even leave Waleston?" Yuna asked. "As long as you're not here, things will go well. You're the reason my sister and Carl ended up that way." Standing in front of her, Carlos pointed at her shoulder and said slowly, "Surra, you should be glad that I don't hit women. If not, you wouldn't be standing here and listening to me." "Even if you do hit women, you wouldn't dare to touch me. I'm still in Phoenix City, after all. You wouldn't dare to provoke Carl because your family has business collaborations with his family. Am I wrong?" Yuna asked. Squinting, Carlos sneered, "I always knew that you're a smart mouth. I've finally seen it now. "You probably seduced
Carlos then shook his hand in disgust. He suddenly said, "Bring her to the room upstairs. Send a man in there." Yuna was dragged away forcefully. Only then did she realize that Carlos' plan was to ruin her. Unable to escape, she was thrown into a room. …At the same time, Mina, who had crawled up to the rooftop, heard some noises down there. With a climbing rope, she went to check the surroundings below her. Then, she hid in a dark corner before climbing down quietly. When she found a window, she peeked inside the room carefully. She happened to see a man lunging toward Yuna. Without thinking twice, she opened the window and leaped into the room. She landed swiftly. Giving no room for the man to react, she knocked him out. "Mina." Yuna teared up the moment she saw her. Unable to compose herself, she fell onto the bed and heaved a heavy sigh. After dealing with the man, Mina said, "Ms. Feron, I've counted how many people are around this villa. There are twelve o
Yuna was calmer now since she had already defeated a bodyguard. She hid behind the door calmly. Meanwhile, Mina hid in the bathroom to wait for their arrival. After a few minutes, they heard some noises outside. Yuna gripped the bloodstained ashtray tightly. She watched as the door knob turned. Holding her breath, she waited for the few men to enter. When the door was fully opened, three men came in one after another. Once the door was closed, they found Yuna. With the ashtray in hand, she smashed it onto the nearest man to her. Mina appeared right in time to knock the other two out, not allowing them to make any noise. For now, six men were down. There were about four or five men left in the house. Yuna proceeded to use the same method on the others. Everything went smoothly after that. When more than ten bodyguards were piled up in the bathroom, Mina and Yuna knew they couldn't use the same method anymore. They would surely get caught. As expected, Carlos looked aro
Disgusted, Yuna glared at him. One would only put their ego and dignity aside to beg for mercy when their lives were at stake. The next thing Carlos knew, Yuna sent a hard slap across his face. Her eyes were filled with disdain and fury. "Carlos, don't you think you're being funny here? You said you wanted to get back at me because of your sister. Yet, you're begging me to let you go like a useless piece of trash now." Suppressing the pain, Carlos agreed, "That's right, I'm just a useless piece of trash." Hearing his reply, Yuna couldn't be bothered to answer. "Where are the car keys?" Carlos quickly took out the keys from his pocket. "Here you go. The car is in the basement garage. You can drive it. Do you want me to call someone down there to open the gate for you and let you leave?" He was happy to hear that. He'd be safe if Yuna and Mina leave. "You have to get down there with us." "Huh?" Before he could react, Carlos felt something tightened on his neck, forcin
Carlos couldn't argue with Yuna, so he agreed. When they arrived at the villa in their cars, Carlos had woken up. Clutching the back of his neck, he stood in the living room. He pointed at the bodyguards and yelled at them. They were so close to their goal, yet they failed miserably. These tens of bodyguards didn't even notice someone sneaking into the house. Carlos blew a fuse. "Are you guys a useless bunch of trash? If you couldn't even watch one woman, why did I hire you? Get the hell out!" Just when he pointed out the door, he saw Carl leading his men and entering the villa. The moment Carlos saw Carl, he was stunned for a few seconds. Putting his hand down, he tried to act calm. With a smile, he said, "I didn't expect you to bring so many men over to my place." After that, he noticed Yuna, who was standing beside Carl. He was instantly agitated. He didn't think Yuna would be so quick to meet up with Carl and whine to him about what happened. He gritted his tee
Carlos was trembling all over. He had never seen such a petrifying look on Carl's face before. Carl didn't speak with that tone even when he visited their place last time because of Elizabeth. He now knew that Carl was actually upset this time. He had no choice but to admit defeat and beg. "Carl, I wasn't thinking straight. But please understand that I only have a sister. "She cried to me every day, saying that she got bullied. As her brother, of course, I'd feel sad for my sister. That's why I—" "If your sister killed someone and told you that she didn't, that it was the victim's family who bullied her, are you going to finish the victim's whole family off too?" "No—" "So you think what your sister did was right?" "No—" "Carlos, what nonsense are you spouting now?" Carl kicked Carlos to the floor. Suppressing his pain, Carlos crawled back up. He kneeled before Carl. "Carl, I'll do anything if you let me off. I'll offer you 80% of the profits for the project we talk
As Carl drove, he said calmly, "I definitely won't let this matter go just like that. You were nearly raped by them. "Should I forget about it just because you're fine? Forgiving them this time would allow them to repeat their actions in the future. "You were lucky today. But what if they plan things out better next time, and you won't have a chance to ask for help?" Yuna couldn't reply to that. "Even if I have to cut ties with the Wycliffe family because of this, I won't suffer any losses. They're the ones who would be at a disadvantage. So don't worry about me losing any profits from the business," Carl said seriously. "Alright." "Go back and have a nice bath. Get some sleep. We can talk about everything else after tomorrow." "Okay." In the end, Yuna was brought to her house. Carl didn't stay for long and drove off. Scratching her head, she knew that there was no way she could interfere with this matter. Back in her room, she lay on the couch. As she tried to calm
Seeing Lucy tearing up, Yuna smiled a little and said, "I'm really fine. Carl came right on time, so I wasn't harmed at all." With a grave expression, Lucy looked at her and asked, "Really?" "Surra, you have to be honest with me. If not, I'd feel guilty about this. Carlos is Elizabeth's brother. He tried to take revenge on you because of Elizabeth. He'll definitely not let go of this matter so easily." She nodded. "I promise you, I'm really okay. Besides, Carl helped me in giving Carlos a good lesson last night. What happened yesterday wouldn't happen again." Seeing how serious Yuna seemed, Lucy then sighed in relief. "Surra, do you know how terrified I was last night?" "I know." Yuna hugged her and patted her back to calm her down. She added, "If I wasn't so sure of myself, how would I have possibly met up with Carlos? So don't worry, everything's in the past now. Everyone is safe. Nothing went wrong." "That's great, then. I wouldn't be able to forgive myself if someth
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
