"I've made myself clear to you. Since you don't want to be a sister or friend, I don't see a reason for us to be associated," Carl said coldly. "You could've chosen any other woman out there. Why does it have to be Surra?" "Even if it's not Surra, you wouldn't be that woman for me, either." His words were like daggers shooting through Elizabeth's heart. At this moment, it was as if she finally understood what Carl wanted. "You'll regret this!" she screamed. Carl didn't want to talk to her about this anymore. After all, he had repeated the same words to her every time, but Elizabeth never listened. "Bring her away. I'll talk to the Wycliffe family about it," Carl told the police. Upon hearing that, the police had no choice but to take Elizabeth with them. Carl looked away and stared at Yuna. "Let's go." "Sorry for making you come here and deal with this." "I was the reason this happened. Who else could you seek help from if not me?" Yuna smiled a little. As she wa
Elizabeth sat on the chair. Wiping her tears, she gritted her teeth. She said, "What's the point of repairing the relationship? Carl is definitely going to cut ties with our family because of that slut." Luther sighed and sat in front of her. "Even if that's the case, it's impossible that Carl would ignore the long-standing friendship between our families. "Do you think it's up to him to cut ties with us? Do you know how many collaboration projects we have with his family?" Elizabeth became quiet after hearing that. Luther continued, "Instead of doing this and losing Carl's attention, why don't you come up with another solution? "For example, you can start working in the company and interact with Carl through business collaborations. Don't you think you'll have a chance to improve your relationship with him by then?" Elizabeth's eyes lit up instantly. "Luther, are you saying that …" "Don't you understand what I mean?" Elizabeth was overjoyed. "Luther, bring me out of
After switching off his laptop, Nathaniel frowned. He texted Mina to ask what happened. He became upset after knowing how everything happened. He always knew that Elizabeth was horrible toward Yuna because of Carl. Someone even came to harass them last night. Nathaniel decided to give the Wycliffe family a lesson. Then, he turned on his laptop again to hack into the Wycliffe Corp's system. He was able to disrupt all of their project plans. Aside from that, he stole 500 million dollars from their company funds. After handling everything with ease, Nathaniel was satisfied as he turned off his laptop. He then used his phone to donate the 500 million dollars to the poor kids living in the slum. At the same time, the whole Wycliffe Corp was in chaos after their system was hacked. Hundreds of their project plans were disrupted. They had even lost 500 million dollars. Their tech team tried to rescue everything but realized that the hacker had planted some viruses in their syst
The next day, Yuna only found out about what happened to Wycliffe Corp when she reached her workplace. "500 million dollars were stolen from them?" she exclaimed. "Yeah, they don't know who did it. But I feel happy about this. It's karma," Lucy said as she nodded. "It really happened out of nowhere." Apart from being shocked, Yuna was also confused. Why would such a thing happen now? Besides, the timing was quite coincidental. People might have misunderstandings about this situation. She started to worry about it. "I have a friend working for Wycliffe Corp. I heard that everyone in the company worked till midnight yesterday. It was to save all the documents of their project plans and get rid of the viruses. Also, I heard that even Mr. Edwards' tech team came over to help them," Lucy explained. "This really seems like a serious matter." "Yeah." Sipping her coffee, Lucy said with a smile, "No matter what, they brought this upon themselves. They were too arrogant and off
Yuna then saw her chance and said, "Do you have a girlfriend then?" Looking at the document he held, Mark asked with a smile, "Are you going to introduce someone to me?" "How can I help you if you don't answer me? What if you do have a girlfriend?" Yuna joked. "Then you're wrong. All day long, I'm deep in research with you guys. Where do I even have the time to get a girlfriend?" Yuna squinted. "Really? Is there a girl that you like?" "Not for now. Why? Are you actually going to introduce a girl to me?" "What's your type then?" Then, she asked on purpose, "If you have to choose between Anya or Lucy, which type would you prefer?" "The ones like Anya." "Really?" "Anya has a great personality, after all. She seems to be someone nice to date." Mark didn't look at the document anymore. Turning around, he crossed his arms and stared at Yuna. "Are you really going to get me a girlfriend?" he asked. "No. I'm just asking for fun." Yuna chuckled and said, "Right, we're al
Since that talk with Nathaniel, Yuna realized that her son knew about too many things. It'd be better for her not to talk about certain stuff at home from now on. It wouldn't be good for Nathaniel to listen. As Yuna thought about it, she walked out of the bathroom. She sat on the couch and applied body lotion on herself. Right then, her phone's screen lit up. It was Yvan again. Yuna was still confused as to why he called her yesterday out of nowhere. Besides, Yvan seemed to have been texting or calling her more frequently than ever. It wouldn't be good if she let it be. Frowning, Yuna picked up her phone. "I hope you won't call or text me this much from now on. We have nothing to do with each other anymore. "If you're just missing the kids, I'll send you pictures of them. But if you want to see them, I hope you can get their permission before doing so. "I won't stop you if they agree to see you." After she said that, she heard nothing from the other end of the call.
At the same time, Yvan walked out of his room. He listened in as Jeremiah spoke to Yuna. In the call, Yuna sounded as if she was about to cry. "They've found out about you guys. They're threatening me by sending over Master Eastin's picture. If you don't leave in 48 hours, he'll chop off one of his arms. So you guys have to leave right now." Jeremiah looked shocked when he heard that. "Ms. Feron, are you sure that the information you got is accurate?" "I've received a call from this caller before when I was in Jefton State. There's no mistake about it. And the picture he sent me shows that Master Eastin is in Flokstra. "I can't take my teacher's safety so lightly. Let's not investigate this for now. Just come back!" Yuna demanded anxiously. "Okay, okay, Ms. Feron. Don't worry, I'll leave right away with everyone." "Be quick." After hanging up, Yvan asked with a frown, "What does that mean?" Jeremiah briefly explained, "Someone from the Black Crown Organization calle
Standing in front of them, Yuna confessed, "I hired someone behind your back to head to Flokstra and find out what happened to Master Eastin. But I didn't think they'd discover him even though we hid it well enough." Carl and Cedric exchanged a glance. They actually knew that Yuna had hired Jeremiah. Yuna covered her face. "Because of me, Master Eastin is in danger now." Carl got up and hugged her. He comforted her and said, "He's not just talking about your team. He's referring to my men as well." That made Yuna raise her head. Cedric also said, "You forgot that our men have been tracking Master Eastin way before you did. Maybe we've been too obvious, and they caught us. That's why he called you." "If all of our teams leave Flokstra, how else can we track where Master Eastin is? How would we be able to save him?" Carl said, "Since he chose to call and threaten us to leave, it could only mean that our investigation was effective before. It has even limited their range of
