At that moment, Yvan was sitting in the study. He was holding a tablet, watching the surveillance footage of Yuna's house.Although it was not a good angle, he could still see Natalie and Nathaniel playing in the garden. Seeing how bright Natalie's smile was, his lips curled into a smile too.As he watched how Spencer carried Natalie and spun around in circles, Yvan imagined himself carrying Natalie instead.On the other hand, Spencer stuffed two sparklers into Nathaniel's hands. Nathaniel stood there and waved the sparklers around reluctantly.Yvan could almost see Natalie saying something to Nathaniel too.All in all, he could tell that the kids were having a lot of fun.Soon, Yuna brought two plates outside. She placed them on the table underneath the parasol.He had never seen Yuna being so happy before. She grinned even wider when Natalie hugged her waist. Yuna was talking with Spencer, too.The scene created a false impression in his head.For a second, he frowned and st
Carl was a fast learner. He started to mix the dough with ease.Surprised, Sherry said, "I didn't expect you to know how to bake cookies, Mr. Edwards."Carl smiled. He replied, "I'm always here with Surra for New Year's celebration every year. I didn't know how to do it at first. But I found it fun, so I asked Surra to teach me."Right then, Reina smiled and said, "Ever since Mr. Edwards learned how to bake cookies, he'd come over and help Ms. Surra bake cookies for every New Year."Sherry and Harry exchanged a look. Sherry praised, "You knead the dough really well, Mr. Edwards.""Thank you for the compliment."After that, Carl noticed that the cookies Yuna was making seemed different from what he had learned. Curious, he asked, "Surra, what flavor of cookies is this?""This is for making shortbread cookies. The flavor would be oatmeal raisin."Yuna suddenly remembered something. "You've never tried this kind of cookie before. I'll bake a few more just for you to try first late
Night had fallen. Everyone in Yuna's house was having their New Year's Eve dinner.There was practically every kind of food they liked on the table, from salad to cookies. There were stir-fries and roast lamb as well.Everyone sat around the dining table and enjoyed the feast.They raised their glasses for a toast and wished each other a happy new year.Watching this scene, Sherry was touched."I didn't think that I'd be able to have New Year's Eve dinner with Yuna again. And we even have the kids with us here now. I feel so touched thinking about this."Harry merrily took a sip of his wine. He added, "We'll just come over to celebrate New Year's together in the future then."Yuna nodded. "Yeah, just come every year."Natalie was sitting on the other side and munching on some cookies. She pleaded, "Please come every year, Aunty Sherry and Uncle Harry."Everyone burst out laughing.The dinner lasted for more than an hour. Everyone enjoyed the food happily.Spencer couldn't wa
The reason why Ashton decided to attack again was to test if Yvan was actually in Phoenix City.To his surprise, he managed to lure Yvan out. But the situation wasn't what he expected it to be."So you're saying that Yvan isn't in Phoenix City?"His assistant nodded. "That's right. Yvan isn't in Phoenix City.""Where is he then?" Ashton furrowed his eyebrows.He clearly didn't believe this news. If Yvan wasn't in Phoenix City, why would he travel abroad so frequently?It was strange."The insiders revealed that Yvan recently made a huge business deal overseas. So he has to personally travel there.""Would someone like him care about business deals?" Ashton wouldn't believe such a ridiculous excuse.Even if Yvan was a workaholic in the past, he wouldn't go to such great lengths just for his work.Something was definitely wrong."This is fake news. Go back and look into the matter again. You have to find out where exactly Yvan is!" Ashton frowned and ordered.The assistant no
The next day, everyone was still sleeping since they stayed up too late while having fun.Spencer and Harry, on the other hand, woke up early. They even dragged Sherry and Yuna out of their beds, rushing them to go for a morning jog together.Exhausted, the two women went to wash up and changed into sports attire. They were then dragged out of the house.Sherry complained, "Are you guys not human? We just celebrated New Year's, yet you're dragging us to go for a run this early in the morning?"Yuna shook her head. "Look at how energetic they are. It's like they're having an adrenaline boost."Spencer patted Yuna's shoulder. He said, "Surra, don't you think that we shouldn't lie on our beds on the first day of the year?"We should get up early and jog. That will make a good start for the year. Isn't that great?"Then, Sherry mocked, "Where did that theory come from? I just know that we should all get some good rest, alright?""What are you talking about? Hurry up. Start jogging,
At that moment, Natalie and Nathaniel were in their room.Nathaniel had a grave expression. He was working on his laptop while Natalie stood beside the window.She kept looking at the roads outside. She promised Nathaniel that she'd tell him immediately if Yuna was back.Staring at how serious Nathaniel seemed, she asked curiously, "Nathaniel, are you sure that the surveillance camera in our house was hacked yesterday?""Yeah.""It can't be. You're the one who checked our surveillance system back then. How could it be hacked? Besides, you didn't notice it at all." Natalie mumbled.She guessed, "Nathaniel, could that hacker be even better than you are?""If he's better than me, he wouldn't have been caught by me after hacking into our system."Natalie could tell that Nathaniel was a bit upset because of this. He even felt that his skills were being challenged."Do you have a way to find out who the hacker is, then?""No."After saying that, Nathaniel closed his laptop. "It wa
On the other hand, Yvan was sitting right across from Maxus.Maxus said with a smile, "Mr. Morgan, have you been enjoying your tour around Phoenix City these days?""It's alright."He sounded unbothered. Even his smile seemed a little cold. "I should've asked you to tour around with me that day."Hearing that, Maxus chuckled. He said, "Yeah, if you called me up, I would've definitely walked around the city with you."Seeing how warm Maxus was, Yvan averted his eyes. He lifted the cup of coffee in front of him and sipped it.Maxus took the chance and said, "Mr. Morgan, about our collaboration—""We're not in a hurry to do that. But I have a question to ask you, Mr. Wycliffe."After that, Yvan raised his hand. Jerry then passed the documents to his hand.Yvan placed them on the table. Maxus quickly looked at them."Did you offend somebody recently, Mr. Wycliffe?"The contents of the document showed the drop in Wycliffe Corp's stocks and how they had lost seven hundred million
After exiting the president's office, Yvan's smile faded slowly. The look on his face was cold and dark.The staff, who wanted to come over and check things out, were all scared away by the icy look on his face.Elizabeth happened to be walking out of the elevator. She bumped into Yvan.It was her first time seeing him.She was stunned for a second. Luther had told her earlier that Stanley would be here to discuss things with them today.Then, she nodded a little. "Hello, Mr. Morgan."Yvan didn't even bother to reply. He merely walked past her and headed downstairs through the elevator.Elizabeth then turned around to watch as the elevator door closed. She bit her lips. She had a really bad impression of Stanley.Furious, she entered the office. Before she could say anything, she heard her father complaining about something."So he paid a visit today just to test the waters. He doesn't intend to collaborate with us at all."That worsened Elizabeth's impression of Stanley.St
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
