Yuna was surprised to hear that.Yvan smiled warmly."It's just that I haven't had food the whole day, so I'm kind of hungry now. Ms. Surra, you'll stay for a meal, won't you?"Yuna couldn't find a suitable excuse to turn him down.When she was still hesitating, Yvan had already asked Jerry to get the food ready."Why don't you try the white wine I just bought?" As Yvan spoke, he opened the wine bottle. He then pulled out two wine glasses.Yuna walked over. Still smiling, she accepted the glass from him."Thank you.""Have a try. I had someone get this bottle of white wine on the third day after I arrived here. I heard that it's a limited edition," Yvan said slowly.Yuna sipped a little. She praised, "It tastes sweet and mellow. It's really nice."Yvan grinned. "I happen to have two bottles of them. If you like it so much, you can bring one back home to share with your friends."Yuna instantly shook her head. "Thank you for offering that. But no, it's too expensive.""It's
"Yeah, you guessed it right. Something serious happened in Jefton State recently. And it's related to Mr. Yale."Vince's tone made Yuna feel that something was off. She had never heard Vince being this agitated before."What is it?" She was really curious."Mr. Jenkins nearly bankrupted the Yale Group."Yuna frowned. She had a look of surprise. "What? When did that happen? How's the current situation of the Yale Group now?""Don't worry, Yuna. The Yale Group hasn't closed down yet for now, but they're struggling. They probably need a long time to recover.""Really?""Yuna, there's something even more surprising.""Tell me. I'm listening," Yuna answered."Mr. Jenkins attacked the Yale Group really badly this time. He destroyed a few important projects that Mr. Yale was handling."Even the collaboration projects between our company and Mr. Yale were halted by Mr. Jenkins.""What?" Yuna said with a tense voice."Yuna, we have no choice. If we don't collaborate with Mr. Jenkins
"Better safe than sorry.""I understand, Harry."Yuna patted his shoulder. She even grabbed some fruits from his plate and stuffed them into his mouth."Everyone's having tea and chatting in the garden.""Okay."Sherry and Harry didn't have much time left to stay here. So Yuna had practically been together with them these days. If they weren't having tea, they'd be chatting away or watching a movie.All in all, they had a cozy time together.…At the same time, Elizabeth was in a private room with Rosie.After hearing what Rosie said, Elizabeth frowned in dismay. She even stared at Rosie suspiciously."Rosie, don't you think that what you just told me sounds weird?""Huh? Weird? Really? Elizabeth, why don't you understand what I'm saying? I'm just concerned about your future," Rosie said seriously."But that wasn't what you said before. You said that we should chase after our happiness."You told me to get closer to Carl by any means and push Surra far away. But now you're
The next day, Yuna just reached the research center when she was dragged to the resting lounge by Caleb."Did you know that something happened to Ashton?"Hearing that, Yuna recalled what Vince said in the call yesterday. "I've heard about some of it.""You know that it's related to Yvan right?""Yeah."Caleb sighed. He said, "For now, Ashton's situation doesn't look good. When I called him, he simply gave me short replies. I think he wouldn't consider what you said for now."Yuna expected that to happen."If that's the case, we'll let this matter go for now. I'll call him by then too."Caleb nodded. "But I didn't expect his relationship with Yvan to be so bad. Ashton nearly ruined the Yale Group."Yuna still felt a little scared when she heard that. "Neither did I.""But you better not call him these two days. He's not in a good mood.""Thank you, Caleb."After their call, Yuna went back to work. However, she was still thinking about Ashton's matter.Last night, she thoug
Yuna followed Yvan into his car and left the research center. Carl stood by the window. Without a word, he watched as the car left. Cedric entered the room without his knowledge. "Hasn't Stanley been giving too much attention to Yuna?" Hearing that, Carl sat back down on the chair. "Why? Did you notice something?" Cedric sat down as well. "Stop acting in front of me. You clearly noticed it earlier than I did." "It's true that Stanley has been placing a lot of attention on Surra. But that's just a guess. He hasn't done anything to her. We can't make a conclusion about him just yet." Carl was just trying to reassure himself too when he said that. That was because he had an urge to tag along just now. Cedric could sense Carl's feelings. He said, "Actually, you don't have to be so worried. Surra has two powerful bodyguards following her everywhere. "Even if Stanley really wanted to do something to her, her bodyguards would've found out right away. They won't let him do what
Right then, Natalie leaned onto the glass railing and looked down in excitement. "It really is Mommy." "Eh? Isn't that Daddy?" Natalie's casual comment instantly brought Sherry and Harry's guard up. They quickly looked downward. From this vantage point, that man did look like Yvan. But thankfully, Harry soon figured it out. "Natalie, you saw it wrongly. That's not your daddy. He's probably your mommy's coworker." Sherry glanced at the man again. She then said, "That's Stanley." Harry agreed but looked puzzled, "Is he the one Yuna sent gifts to?" "Yeah." Nathaniel was silent the whole time. Just because of Natalie's comment, his eyes were fixated on that man beside Yuna. When he looked down from above, that man did look really similar to Yvan. But his face was different. Nathaniel felt that it was strange. "Natalie, let's head down to see Mommy." "Sure." Holding Natalie's hand, Nathaniel ran toward the lift. When Harry and Sherry realized what they were doing, th
Sherry and Harry left the museum early with the kids. They set off to their next destination. Sitting beside Nathaniel, Natalie seemed confused. "That's strange. Why does that man look so much like Daddy when we saw him from the second floor?" Nathaniel told her, "Maybe they just have similar height." "But that's not it. Uncle Cedric and Uncle Carl are almost as tall as each other too." Nathaniel continued, "In this world, there would be people who look similar but have nothing to do with each other. So it isn't weird." Natalie nodded. "Okay, I was wrong then." Sherry was in the front passenger seat. She turned toward them and clapped. "It'll probably take quite some time to reach the next destination. Why don't we buy some food and bring it there?" Nathaniel replied, "Yeah, we can buy some food." "Alright. We'll look for food now, then," Harry said as he drove. …Yuna thought she would be able to get this over with quickly and head back to the research center. T
Luther could clearly tell that Yvan was standing up for Yuna. He was curious as to how they became this close. But he wanted to do business with Yvan, so he certainly couldn't upset him now. If not, he would have no chance of collaborating with him anymore. He quickly grabbed Elizabeth's arm, signaling her not to say anything out of line. Meanwhile, Yuna had followed Yvan out of the restaurant. After they left, Elizabeth shrugged off Luther's hand. Dissatisfied, she said, "Surra is so slutty. She's actually flirting around with another man so soon. Carl would definitely be mad when he hears about this." She couldn't wait to call Carl right away. But Luther stopped her again. "Elizabeth, can you please think with your head?" "What do you mean? Are you saying that I'm stupid?"Elizabeth was obviously upset. "Doesn't Surra usually work in the research center at this hour? If she's accompanying Mr. Morgan outside now, do you think Carl wouldn't know about it? "Maybe Carl
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
