Yuna spent the entire afternoon decorating the villa with them. This was a chance for her to make up for the missed Christmas gathering.Before long, the villa was cleaned and decorated with new decorations, creating a festive atmosphere.Natalie and Nathaniel sat in the living room with Aunty Reina. They were enjoying sweets and watching a movie.Meanwhile, Yuna and the others gathered in the yard under a parasol. They leisurely enjoyed tea and chatted, thoroughly enjoying themselves.Spencer shared interesting stories about Yuna and the two children from a few years ago, making Harry and Sherry burst into laughter.He enthusiastically recounted, "Isn't it funny? The twins have some sort of telepathy. I remember one time when those two little rascals were really suffering."Natalie had a fever one night, so Aunty Reina and Surra took care of her. They were afraid that Nathaniel would get infected, so they moved him to the next room. But Nathaniel already caught it."Spencer con
Yuna immediately nodded. "Go ahead."If Jeremiah could uncover some leads and potentially rescue Master Eastin, it would be the best outcome.She looked at the documents, thinking about Jacob and the Black Crown Organization. She couldn't believe the two were connected in any way."Even if you're going to Hultic to investigate, you can't tip your hand. Or else we might put Teacher at risk. By the way, Carl's people are also in Hultic."I'll tell him about this. When you get there, you can work with his team to speed up the investigation."Jeremiah had initially intended to investigate on his own. But given Yuna's suggestion, he couldn't outright decline. So he nodded in agreement.This news was the best Yuna could hope for.Before leaving, she worriedly asked, "Jacob hasn't made the information public, right? Jade too. Perhaps it's best to focus our attention on Hultic for the time being.""I will do my best to clarify the issue you're concerned about, Ms. Feron.""Jeremiah, p
"Yes. Paul and his team are still in Hultic, right? When Jeremiah heads there, we can have them join forces for the investigation. I believe this way, we'll get faster results."At this point, Carl understood the purpose of Yuna's visit.He nodded and said, "You're right. I'll talk to Paul and arrange for them to work together.""Thanks. I hope we can find information about Teacher soon." Yuna's face was filled with anticipation.Carl reassured her, "Master Eastin will be fine."After that, he changed the subject and asked, "Aren't you on holiday? Did you spend some quality time with your friends?""I did. I went shopping and bought a lot of decorations to celebrate the New Year. The villa is already beautifully decorated. You should come over before we take them down," Yuna said, smiling."I'll definitely go if you invite me.""Alright, I'll let you get back to work. Talk to you later." Yuna didn't want to disturb Carl's work."I'll walk you down.""It's fine. I can go down
Yuna gave Elizabeth a suspicious look and then turned her gaze away."I'm afraid I can't help you with that."At her words, Elizabeth's expression instantly changed. Still, she held off her emotions and smiled. "Why? Oh, is it because I did things that upset you before? If you don't want to tell me, that's okay. If I were you, I would do the same too."But you know, I really want to turn over a new leaf. I don't want to keep arguing with you like this. When you want something, it's best to pursue it through legitimate means, right?"The more Elizabeth spoke in this manner, the stranger Yuna felt.She didn't believe someone's attitude could change so suddenly unless it was intentional."My work situation with Carl was entirely different from your work situation with him. So, my experience won't be of much help to you. As for what you said earlier, I'll keep it in mind. I hope you genuinely feel that way," Yuna said.Hearing that, Elizabeth nodded with enthusiasm. "Alright, I'll
In the end, Rosie's words convinced Elizabeth. She nodded and said, "Okay, I won't lose my temper easily." For the sake of getting Carl, she was willing to endure a little discomfort.When the day came that Carl was hers, she could deal with Yuna as she pleased. She would wait for that day to arrive.At this point, Elizabeth was already fantasizing about her future. She believed that the day would arrive very soon.Before she left happily, she gave Rosie a VIP black card.With the black card in her hand, Rosie was overjoyed. She immediately made a phone call."How did you calculate everything so accurately? Elizabeth really gave me a black card. She even said I could buy anything I want.""Well, Elizabeth is always generous. Since you gave her an idea, she'll definitely reward you," the man said with a light chuckle. He added, "Just follow my instructions. If she approaches you for advice, tell her what I told you.""Okay.""Don't get carried away whenever you see money. If
Half an hour later, Carl sat in the restaurant of a high-end hotel, holding documents detailing everything about Stanley.The photos on the documents were familiar to him, but he couldn't quite understand why. "Is this information true?"Even though their companies were already working together, he'd only ever spoken to the second biggest shareholder of Devito Corporation. He needed to go over the partnership with Stanley again since he was the biggest shareholder.If he hadn't seen the photos, he wouldn't have asked that question.Behind him, his assistant reassured him, "Don't worry, boss, it's all accurate. We've also got a clear picture of Devito's financial situation. There won't be any problems."Carl nodded, closing the file. "When is he arriving?""According to his last message, in a few more minutes," his assistant answered.Just then, the front doors opened. Yvan entered the restaurant, followed by Terry and his entourage.When they approached him, Carl stood up. "M
Cedric was just about to continue convincing Yuna to take the day off when his phone rang.The call was from Carl.He picked up the call. "Yes, Carl?"Upon hearing this, Yuna kept quiet and continued drinking her coffee.Cedric listened to Carl speak for a moment before replying, "Does it have to be tonight? Alright, then. Surra is here too. Yeah. Okay."After he ended the call, Yuna asked curiously, "What was that about?""You know Carl was in talks for a partnership with Devito Corporation, right?" Cedric said. He continued, "The company's biggest shareholder came to Phoenix City to meet Carl tonight. He had just invested another 500 million dollars into the project, so we're speeding it up a little. He wants us to have dinner with Mr. Morgan. I have to call Caleb and Lucy too."Yuna was a little startled. "So now we have 1.5 billion invested in the project? Why is Devito Corporation so confident about it?""It's not just Devito. Carl has high expectations too." Cedric paus
Just when Yuna was about to avert her gaze, she felt that someone had been observing her closely. That feeling was oddly nostalgic to her. She tried to search for the person who gave her that familiar gaze, but it was to no avail. Her gaze finally landed on Stanley, who made eye contact with everyone. His good looks made him look dashingly handsome when he smiled. Yuna thought she might have been overthinking things. "Everyone, meet Mr. Morgan. The reason we gathered here today is to talk about our latest project." Carl was introducing Stanley but got interrupted. Stanley smiled brightly and said, "There's no need for formality. Let's treat it as a friend's gathering. We can chat as we eat." Stanley sounded like a friendly person, and everyone started to warm up to him. And so, the dinner party had officially begun. Everyone was having a good time drinking while discussing work. Cedric and the rest introduced themselves to Stanley. When it was Yuna's turn, she only brie
