Everyone at Birchwood Heights looked away when they saw Yvan carrying Yuna into the house and up the stairs.Yuna finally came back to her senses when she saw the familiar room and tried to escape the minute Yvan put her down. However, Yvan was faster than her and his arm shot out to grab her waist. He threw her onto the bed.Yuna’s head spun at this development and when she saw his cold expression, she panicked. “Let go of me!”“Don’t tell me you’re scared now. Things are just getting started!”“Go fuck someone else!”“But I only want to fuck you.”“You bastard!”Yuna watched as Yvan’s face got closer to hers and frantically blurted, “I can't believe you want me now, even though I’m no longer pure. You didn't want me seven years ago when I was pure and trying to get on your good side.”Yvan’s face contorted with annoyance when he heard this, but Yuna continued to provoke him. “No way, are you really trying to make me your mistress?”Yvan’s expression darkened further as she s
Yuna opened her eyes to darkness. From the faint moonlight streaming in from the window, she ascertained that she was still at Birchwood Heights.She sat up on the bed and realized that Yvan was gone.Her mind went blank. Goddamnit. How did things escalate so quickly?She had fallen into his trap and had somehow garnered the title of his lover as well. She took a deep breath and considered her situation. Everything was screwed up, so the only thing she could do was come up with a new plan.Now that things had come to this, she figured that she could just use the opportunity to better investigate the matter from seven years ago. She might even be able to expedite her previous plans as well.Her mind was already formulating a new plan at this thought, so she happily went into the bathroom to freshen up. After she got dressed, she saw that it was already 2 AM.She checked her phone and saw that Sherry had called her multiple times. She must have been worried sick. Yuna had to go hom
"You really are undeniably detestable. I wonder what those other men see in you."Yuna gave a light laugh at that. "Of course they're attracted to my beauty. Aren't you also attracted to me because of that?" She then leaned in and whispered into his ear, "Or perhaps, you're just attracted to me in general.""Fuck off." Yvan was furious and he practically spat that out before he turned and went into his study. Yuna watched him leave indifferently. She took a deep breath before leaving as well.When she returned to her apartment, she saw that Harry was sleeping on her couch, but he immediately jolted awake when she switched on the lights. When he realized that it was her, he asked, "Yuna, why are you home so late today?""There were some problems in research development today and I completely lost track of time," she explained before asking, "How are Natalie and Nathaniel?" Harry got up from the sofa and said, "Sherry is watching them. Have you eaten? Do you want me to make you s
Yuna heard all about what happened at TN Group once she arrived at the research center.Mayson asked to see her at his office and once she arrived, he didn't beat around the bush and asked, "Yuna, are you aware that TN Group is facing some problems right now?"What exactly happened?""A while ago, a few five-star hotels under TN Group lost tens of millions of dollars, and this morning, they lost around three hundred million dollars in stocks. Right now, the entirety of TN Group is in chaos."Yuna considered this for a while before asking calmly, "Did they find the culprit?"Mayson made a brisk laugh. "Honestly, I don't think they know who the culprit even is.""Why are you telling me this?" Yuna asked."Nothing seems to be going right for TN Group these days and though the Jenkins family is one of the wealthiest families in Jefton State, if they run out of funds, then…" Mayson gave a conspicuous cough before continuing, "What I want to say is, take note to not keep going against
Yuna mildly side-eyed Blake and continued walking toward Herbert to take a seat opposite of him. "I'm here now. What did you want to say to me?"Herbert was furious at her nonchalant attitude. "The whole company knows that you are in possession of thirty percent of the company's shares but until now, you still haven't shown up at the company. How do you expect me to explain this to the other shareholders?" he admonished angrily.Blake coldly scoffed in agreement. "What's the point of taking so much of the company's shares if you don't even know anything? What a joke."As he talked, he made his way toward Herbert and Yuna and he slammed his fist aggressively on Herbert's desk. "What is the point of taking all those shares?" he questioned her.Yuna was unphased. "Oh, so the reason why Dad called me here today was for me to surrender the shares?"Herbert's expression was icy as he said, "You don't know how to handle the shares. Wouldn't it be better for you to surrender the shares to
Blake wanted to stop her from leaving but was stopped by Herbert. "Blake, get back here now!"He reluctantly turned to look at his father and whined petulantly, "Dad, are you really just going to let her go like that? Did you not see how arrogant she was acting just now? The past seven years that she has spent overseas have spoiled her completely."Herbert took a deep breath to calm himself down before raising his head to say gloomily, "Even though she and Yvan are divorced, Yvan is still protecting her whenever she gets in trouble. Think about what happened to Lester. Do you really think that Yvan had no part in that?"Blake swore under his breath at that and Herbert continued, "Of course. I have my ways to take back the shares that she has now, but the most important thing now is your safety."Blake's expression twisted at that. "Lester was beaten half to death, and I didn't really wasn’t doing anything then either. I don't think they’ll come for me," he rationalized hesitantly.
"Mommy, does that mean you’re gonna be finished with the research project earlier than expected?" Natalie asked excitedly.Yuna smiled and nodded. "Of course. Once the project is complete we can all go home together."Natalie almost blurted out that she didn't want to leave, but she caught herself and nodded happily. "Yay! I also miss my classmates, Aunty Reina, and Grandpa Eastin!"She also would miss her Great-Grandpa but, of course, she didn't say that out loud.Nathaniel had promised she would get to see their Great-Grandpa again, but he went back on his promise. She has been silently holding a grudge since.After dinner, Yuna was working in the study room when she received a call from Gabriel."Good evening, Sister-in-law." Yuna could practically hear the smile in his voice as he called her that. She didn't bother correcting him."Calling me at such a late hour? Mr. Fisher, do you have good news for me?""I do! I haven't given Blake Feron a visit yet because of you, Ms. Fe
She couldn't tell where Blake was in the video, but she could tell that he was in a private location. Furthermore, judging by the angle at which the video was taken, it was clear that someone had secretly filmed him.In the video, Blake had restrained a woman on a table and was pouring bottle after bottle of alcohol down her throat. He was laughing like a maniac. The pinned-down woman was visibly struggling to break free, but she was only met with clapping and cheering by the others in the room.It was a heinous act and if it was made public, the Feron family's reputation would be in danger.There was a twinkle in Yuna's eye after the video ended because, compared to the proof she had of what Lester and Blake had done, this was more substantial evidence for taking down the Feron name. Yvan, who was still sitting silently in the corner was watching her expression attentively while she watched the video. Though she was good at not letting her emotions show on her face, he was still
