Nathaniel leaned back on the chair. "If Mommy wanted to go, she wouldn't have told us she's going to work but on a business trip.""That's true. Does Mommy not care about Daddy anymore?"Listening to Natalie asking the questions repeatedly, he couldn't understand what she was thinking. "You shouldn't care or wonder too much about it. Play with your pet.""Okay. If you know anything, you must tell me.""Hmm."…Yuna came to the research center and started to work after finishing the meeting. She was about to turn on the computer when Cedric came in with coffee. "You look very worried," Cedric commented. "Have I?"He patted her head. "Even I know what you know."Upon hearing this, she knew what he was talking about."I don't need to pay too much attention to the matters at Jefton State."After hearing what she said, he stopped asking. "That's good. Let's work."She retracted her smile and took a sip of coffee. She felt a vague emotion. But she quickly adjusted her mood and
Darren sat down.Ashton frowned slightly. "This all happened too suddenly. It seems fake."Darren glanced at him and lit a cigarette. "Do you still want to get involved with Yvan? Don't forget how much he has tricked you. Whether it's true, it's him who played the trick. What does it have to do with you?""Maybe he's trying to attract Yuna's attention?""Why do you still care about her? She's only your friend." Darren raised his eyebrows. "Don't look into Yvan's whereabouts anymore."Ashton smiled helplessly. "Don't worry. I won't go too far.""I'm just worried about you." Ashton said nothing....Yuna left the research lab and followed Cedric in the afternoon.They needed to purchase a batch of important materials. So, they needed to inspect the materials in person.Carl had been waiting at the dock for a long time when they arrived."You're here."Yuna held on to her hat and looked at the site. There were many containers there. She also saw the ships docked on the shore
The man who grabbed Yuna was wearing a mask and hat. It was impossible for them to identify him. But looking at his sinister gaze and the knife tightly held against Yuna's neck, they knew he meant business. Yuna tried to break free from the man but failed. At this moment, she forced herself to calm down, wondering if she could save herself later.When Carl and Cedric saw this, they could only obey the man. After all, Yuna's life was in his hands. "Okay, we'll go down. But you must not hurt her."They stepped back one after another.Carl continued, "Tell us what you want. As long as you let her go, I can fulfill." "Fulfill it? After I let her go, you'll kill me!" The man sneered. "Stop talking nonsense. Get down right now!"It was difficult to deal with him. So, they could only lower themselves temporarily.As such an unexpected accident occurred, the staff and Carl's bodyguards were shocked and didn't know what to do.Yuna followed the man while holding back from making a
Peter tightened his grip on Yuna's neck, making it hard for her to breathe."You're so clever to figure out who I am so quickly."Seeing she was almost out of breath, Cedric immediately said, "Peter, don't be impulsive! As long as you don't hurt Surra, we'll never do anything to you. We'll meet your request and let you leave safely."Hearing these words, he loosened his hand a little, allowing her to breathe normally.He bellowed, "Speed up! Don't waste my time.""Don't worry. We won't waste time." Carl forced himself to calm down.Even if he knew Peter had some feud with him, it was nothing compared to Yuna's safety.After catching her breath, she looked at Peter and said, "Peter, I didn't expect to see you again. Have you spent all the money you took away before?"He gritted his teeth and shouted, "Shut up!""Carl valued you so much before. He treated you so well. But you betrayed him just because his opponent gave you a large sum of money, causing him to lose billions.
Yuna was still in shock, but Cedric had already taken her back to the car.He looked at her pale face and asked worriedly, "Surra, are you okay?"It took her a long while to compose herself. "Surra?""I'm fine," Yuna responded absentmindedly, looking out the window. "Cedric, are we leaving? It seemed Mr. Morgan was injured when he came to save me." Cedric nodded. Band-aid in hand, he helped her apply it to her wound."Yes, he'll go to the hospital later. We can go over to thank him. Carl will handle the rest here.""That Peter …""Carl won't let him go easily. After all, he was the one who caused the trouble."She pursed her lips and nodded without asking any more questions. She was worried about "Stanley's" condition.At this moment, she recalled the scene of being saved by him. She felt like she saw Yvan."Are you still scared?""I'm fine.""It's a management problem. They didn't even know a stranger sneaked in." Cedric frowned."Don't you think it's strange? It's our
Yuna asked curiously, "Why was Peter there?""He followed Carl to the dock. He didn't expect us to come. He originally wanted to attack Carl. But he changed his mind after seeing you," Cedric explained slowly. She breathed a sigh of relief. "Fortunately, he caught me. If he caught Carl, something serious would have happened. After all, he was very hostile to him.""It was a narrow escape," he patted her shoulder, "But none of us want to see you get hurt."Yuna smiled slightly. "It's okay now.""Yes." He saw the door open and said, "He's out."She turned and walked forward, only to see that "Stanley's" sleeve on his right arm had been cut away. His arm was wrapped in a bandage. But he looked calm, as if he wasn't injured.When he saw her, he smiled. "I didn't expect you'd still be around.""How could I leave before you treated your wound?" Yuna asked.Cedric said, "Mr. Morgan, thank you for saving Surra just now.""It's not a big deal.""I'd still like to thank you," Yuna ch
Yuna explained calmly, "The man who delivered medicine to me before was injured today. He's an investor in our research center. So, I'm going to help take care of him."She wouldn't talk about what happened to her today. If the twins knew about it, it would surely affect them. Aunty Reina would also be frightened."I see. You're right. I remember he gave snacks to Natalie and Nathaniel a few days ago.""That's right."Aunty Reina smiled. "I'll prepare the meal for him.""Thanks."She breathed a sigh of relief and turned to leave the kitchen. She suddenly noticed Nathaniel standing behind her."Nathaniel, you scared me out of my wits." "I tried calling you, but you were so busy talking to Granny Reina that you didn't hear me.""Is that so?"When he watched her awkward expression change, he felt something was wrong. "Mommy, did you say someone was injured?""Yes. Do you remember the man who brought us medicine and snacks?" Yuna didn't try to hide it. Then, she said, "He has
Yuna breathed a sigh of relief and smiled. "As long as you like it. But you can tell me what you want next time. I'll ask my housekeeper to prepare the ingredients in advance."Yvan said casually, "It doesn't matter. I'll eat whatever you prepare. I'm not picky."Yuna nodded. She was sitting on the sofa. Although she felt it inappropriate to stare at him while he ate, she couldn't leave.When she observed the way he was eating, she was inexplicably stunned.Although she had eaten with him several times before, she never watched him eat. She wondered why Yvan always came to her mind when she looked at how he ate.What happened? Why did she think Stanley and Yvan were so similar?"Ms. Surra, is there anything on me?"She knew it was rude to stare at him. So, she immediately shook her head. "It's nothing. I feel sorry for not considering that your arm was injured. I should prepare some easy-to-eat food to not trouble you." She thought maybe his injury caused her to have such an
