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
Yvan and Jeremiah didn't take long to leave Flokstra. They had to part ways since they couldn't look into the matter here for now. Yvan had to return to Jefton State to deal with things there. Jeremiah actually wanted to ask if he was going to visit Phoenix City after that. But he decided not to. If he did, he wouldn't be able to help but tell Nathaniel about it. This family was too complicated. He shouldn't interfere with anything. In the end, Jeremiah and his team headed to Phoenix City by flight. Yvan boarded his private jet and went back to Jefton State. On the plane, Lucian saw the serious look on Yvan's face. He was able to guess what Yvan was thinking about. "Are you curious about the person who called Yuna?"Yvan replied, "Why did that person have to call her?" Lucian said, "Well, Master Eastin is the one being held captive. And Yuna is his favorite student." Yvan shook his head. "It couldn't be that simple. If we can find out who the caller is, perhaps all of
At night, Yuna didn't think more about other matters because of Anya. Everyone headed to the gathering spot together. Cedric was concerned about Yuna as well. But he blended in with the others during dinner. When Anya saw Cedric was there too, she became even more nervous. She quickly dragged Yuna out of the room. "Surra, Mr. Xavier is here too. What should I do? I'm getting more anxious now. It feels like I'm a student trying to do a bad thing in front of my teacher." Hearing that, Yuna couldn't help but laugh. "But I've never seen you nervous around Cedric. Besides, don't you even make jokes when you're with him?" "Is that the same?" "Don't worry, I'll watch Cedric the whole night. I won't let him stop you from doing your thing. Even if he pulls Mark over for drinks, I'll stop him." Patting her chest, Anya nodded hard. "Okay." Right then, Lucy walked out. Seeing how the two were being secretive, she walked curiously toward them. "What are you whispering about here
Lucy glanced over at the door too. Like what Yuna said, Anya and Mark entered the room. The two of them kept staring at Anya, waiting for her to give them a hint. When they saw Anya making the "OK" gesture shyly, Yuna and Lucy immediately toasted each other in celebration. She didn't think the plan would work out so well. If that was the case, perhaps Mark had already had feelings for Anya for a long time. That was why he accepted her confession so readily. Soon, Anya sat between them. Excited, Lucy said, "You're back so soon!" "He likes me too. Besides, he said that the confession I made tonight doesn't count. He even said that he should be confessing to me instead as a man. So …" Anya hung her head low. She didn't dare to look at anybody at all. Hearing that, Yuna and Lucy's impressions of Mark became even better. Lucy praised, "I didn't think Mark would be so romantic." Anya whispered, "Let's keep what happened tonight a secret." Smiling, Yuna said, "We will."
