But it wasn't that bad either. She had at least made herself clear this time. That way, she wouldn't have to be worried about Ashton anymore. Heaving a sigh of relief, Yuna continued to work. Meanwhile, Darren had to board a flight. It took him a few hours before he finally returned to Jefton State. But he got a call from Ashton right after he got off the plane. He answered the call. Ashton demanded, "Did you go to Phoenix City and meet Yuna?" Darren didn't hide anything. "Yeah, I just got off the plane. The trip took me two days. I'm so tired." "Darren Bowman!" "What are you anxious about? Yuna is living freely and well over there, even better than what we imagined. And did you think I could do anything to her? She has someone powerful backing her, alright?" Ashton became quiet. Darren simply said, "Let's meet up to talk about this." After half an hour, Darren arrived at the private room where they agreed to meet. Seeing Ashton, who was already sitting inside, he
After hearing Darren's words, Ashton felt exasperated. But he held it in. Darren knew him too well. The more Ashton seemed to be calm, the more anxious he actually was. "You don't have to go up against Yvan. Now's not the time to do that," Darren advised. Raising an eyebrow, Ashton asked, "Don't you usually enjoy picking fights with Yvan the most? Yet, you're actually persuading me not to do that now." "That's because I realized that it's not easy to defeat TN Group. Losing a few hundred million of company funds didn't seem to affect his company's operation at all back then. "This time, he left the company in Kiara's care. And he was still fine after everything we did to it. Doesn't that already prove something? He's much stronger than he seemed outside. "It's true that we can't fight him directly now, so let's not try to show off and bring him down. Why don't we save our energy and better ourselves first?" Darren suggested. "I can handle my own matters. You don't have to
"Are you trying to scare me?" Yuna shrugged as if she couldn't care less. "If you don't believe me, you can see it for yourself," she said.Then, she added, Oh right, you probably had to discuss the projects with Carl a lot. So, did you have a chance to talk about any personal matters during those times? Probably not." Yuna's assumption was spot on. Elizabeth widened her eyes in shock as she gritted her teeth. She hated how smug Yuna seemed now. "Don't you dare think that you know Carl best!" "If what I said was wrong, why are you panicking now?" "Don't be so proud of yourself." Yuna kept a smile on her face. "You always seem to misunderstand my kindness. I only speak the truth." "Hmph." Elizabeth stopped talking. She didn't want to hear anything upsetting from Yuna again. So what if Yuna knew Carl well? Elizabeth would certainly be the winner in the end! Smiling, Yuna watched as Elizabeth drove away. At the same time, Gianna got out of the car. "What's the deal wi
When Yuna was about to say something, Nathaniel cut in. "Mommy, don't worry. We know what we should and shouldn't do. Are you worried that we'll create trouble for you?" "That's not what I meant." "We know what you meant." Natalie rubbed her tummy. "Mommy, I really want to have seafood pasta tonight. I've asked Aunty Reina to get the ingredients. Can you make that for us?" After being cut off, Yuna nodded. "I will cook it for you two now." She then got up and headed to the kitchen. Right then, Aunty Reina had already washed all the ingredients for the food. Yuna started to make the pasta. Natalie immediately went to sit beside Nathaniel. "Nathaniel, are you going to do something to the Wycliffe family again?" "How did you know that?" "Hehe, I obviously understand you the most." "Stay here and keep a lookout for me. I'll be heading up now." "Alright." Nathaniel put his book away. He got up and went upstairs quickly. In just ten minutes, Wycliffe Corp was in chaos
Luther glanced in his direction. Without a word, he turned and sat at his desk. Meanwhile, Carlos wheeled out of the office after being inside for a few minutes. Luther wasn't too surprised to see the furious look on his face. Right then, Maxus called him over again. That night, Carl left his company and asked to have a meal with Cedric and Yuna. Not long after his car left, the driver said, "Mr. Edwards, we're being followed." "Tell our men to find out who's tailing us." Carl remained calm. It was as if he had already expected that someone would follow him. After meeting the two at the place they agreed on, Carl dined with them with a composed look. Cedric said, "There's nothing going on in Flokstra anymore. We can only stop our investigation for now. Maybe they'll expose themselves after a while. That way, we can figure out our next step." Yuna frowned. "If that's the case, wouldn't it take longer to save Master Eastin?" "That's how we can ensure Master Eastin's saf
"Carl, can't you tell me the truth?" Elizabeth's eyes reddened, and she stood before him stubbornly. She just wanted Carl to give her an answer. Expressionless, Carl leaned against the chair. He raised an eyebrow and asked, "Where's your proof?" "If I have proof, would I still have to be here and ask you about it?" "Just what kind of work can you do with that low IQ?" "How could you say that to me, Carl?" "If it was really my doing, I would've just made your company go bankrupt instead of doing it little by little," Carl said, looking stern. Elizabeth's heart skipped a beat. She stared at him with disbelief. "Are you done here?" Carl asked. Seeing how firm he was, Elizabeth bit her lips and said, "So this really has nothing to do with you." At the same time, she released a sigh of relief. "It's best that you're not involved in this. Carl, I don't want our families to have any unnecessary conflict or misunderstanding." Carl looked away. He couldn't be bothered to ans
Wycliffe Corp lost 700 million dollars in the blink of an eye. Even worse, they could only leave the matter be. After all, there was nothing they could do about it. Even if Yuna couldn't see the Wycliffe family's current situation, she could imagine how it must be for them. Seven hundred million dollars wasn't a small sum. At the same time, Nathaniel was working on his laptop. Jeremiah was on the line with him. He heard Jeremiah's laughter from his earphones. Frowning in disgust, Nathaniel wanted to take his earphones off. "Stop laughing." "Hahaha. Can't I even laugh?" Jeremiah even slapped his thigh. "The Wycliffe family is so unlucky to have offended you," he said between laughter. "Is 700 million dollars a lot?" Nathaniel asked."No, it's probably just a small part of their family fortune. Honestly, it would be fine even if you steal billions or tens of billions of dollars from them. Clearing his throat, Jeremiah added, "You should've told me about it. As your br
In Jefton State, Ashton didn't stop what he was doing to Yvan just because of Darren's words. He even went to greater lengths. Meanwhile, Yvan didn't lose his cool under Ashton's attacks. Instead, he let Ashton do what he wanted for a few days. Then, he came up with a powerful counterattack in one go. As expected, Ashton was caught off guard by Yvan's counterattack and couldn't recover. At that moment, Yvan was sitting in his office. He was watching the data on his computer calmly. It showed the falling stocks of Ashton's company. Taking a drag from his smoke, he looked away slowly. At the same time, Michael entered his office. "Mr. Jenkins, the Yale Group has lost nearly 300 million dollars now. If this continues, they'll lose at least another 500 million dollars." "Good." "What time should we end this?" "One o'clock." "Yes, sir." …When Darren heard that the Yale Group's stocks were falling, he instantly knew it was Yvan's doing. He went to see Ashton right away.
