"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
Yuna first dropped by Carl's office. As expected, he was still there. Carl knew that she was heading back here. That was why he had been waiting for her. "Mr. Morgan only asked me to bring him around the city. We had a meal along the way too." Yuna stood in front of him. "Why would you ask me to do that so suddenly?" Carl sighed. "Stanley said you're the only person he's familiar with here. That's why I asked you for help." "I only agreed because I didn't want to make things difficult for you." "Even if you didn't agree, I'll have my ways to deal with it." "The project has just started. And it was really nothing. I just came up here to tell you that I'm alright." Carl knew that. After all, his men were following them. They'd inform him right away if anything had happened. "Have a seat." Then, he got a cup of tea and placed it in front of her. "I don't know much about Stanley. Besides, it seems like he's trying to get close to you. Whether or not he has any ulterior mo
