At night, Yuna brought some dinner over to see "Stanley". She even made a few dishes herself that day. When Yvan was eating, he could taste the difference. "This doesn't seem to be made by your housekeeper. It tastes like food in Jefton State. Surra, did you cook today?" "I didn't think you'd know so much about food from different countries." "I've tried food from Jefton State before. They taste amazing," Yvan said with a smile, "Thank you, Surra. I have the chance to enjoy dishes from Jefton State because of you." "It's my pleasure." "You're so good at cooking that you can open a restaurant." "I'll be even more exhausted than I am now," she replied with a grin. "It could be tiring. But if you ever decide to do that, just let me know. I'll invest in it." "Alright," Yuna said. Yvan seemed to be enjoying the food today way more than the last few times. "You're such a busy woman. Yet, you made time to cook for me. This probably tires you out a lot. You don't have to do
Words were stuck in Yuna's mouth. After thinking about it carefully, she said, "My mind went blank. All this time, I thought Yvan was indirectly involved in the attempted murder. I didn't think that somebody else was behind it." Calmly, Harry said, "Nonetheless, didn't Jacob scheme against you because you were pregnant with Yvan's children? In the end, you're the victim here." Sherry said, "Although that's the case, I still think Yvan is innocent. Of course, that's about it. I still remember all the things he did to Yuna." A smile appeared on Yuna's face. "I didn't say that I'm going to forgive Yvan just because this incident has nothing to do with Yvan." "You better." Drinking some coffee, Harry continued, "No matter who it is, his wrongdoings shouldn't be forgotten. One can never turn back time. It's impossible to forgive him for what he did to Yuna." "What's going on? Why are we talking about forgiving Yvan now? Yuna, aren't you living well in Waleston now? Since she's n
After reaching the research center, Yuna told Cedric about Luther's call. His face hardened. "Luther isn't a good man." "Carl's terminating all the collaboration between him and their family. It's a huge loss for them," Yuna said."Yes, they're suffering from great loss. They probably can't even calculate how much the losses are. That's why they're thinking of ways to reconcile with Carl. "I heard that people from the Wycliffe family kept paying visits to see Mrs. Edwards. But they were turned away," Cedric explained. "Mrs. Edwards is a reasonable woman. She never interfered when things happened between Carl and the Wycliffe family back then. Perhaps the incident was so outrageous that she got angry as well." "Angry is an understatement." Right after that, Cedric got a call from Carl. "Jade finally confessed." …When Yuna and Cedric reached the dock, Jade was locked in the water dungeon. She was sitting on a chair. But she was drenched. A towel was wrapped around her.
"I'm going to visit Hultic to deal with this matter," Cedric suddenly said. "I want to go as well," Yuna chimed in. "No way!" Cedric and Carl replied at the same time. Yuna said, "If we can capture Jacob's assistant, we'll find out about everything. I want to be there." Carl tried to persuade her, "It's dangerous in Hultic. Even with Jade's information, we can't fully trust her. We can only try to find that guy and test things out." "After we're sure he'll be at the pub, we can only start planning," Cedric added. He turned on his phone. "It's the 18th today. If I go there right now, it would be the 19th already." Carl nodded. Cedric then walked outside as he made a call. When Yuna was about to follow him, Carl stopped her. "I know you're eager to save Master Eastin, but don't forget that Natalie and Nathaniel are still here. Besides, it's not safe there. What if something happens to you?" Carl asked. "I know what you're worried about. But Jacob—" "What about Jacob
Caleb shrugged. "That guy was being mysterious. I don't know what he was talking about. He even hung up right after saying that. He hasn't been replying to my texts." "Really?" Yuna exclaimed. "What's wrong? Did something bad happen between you two?"Yuna shook her head. "No." "Are you dating Ashton now?" Yuna shook her head profusely. "I'm just friends with Mr. Yale." "I see." Disappointed, Caleb shook his head too. "That's a shame, but there's nothing we can do about it. This is a matter of fate, after all." "Since when did you start believing in fate?" "Sometimes you just have to. Although I don't really believe in god, I believe in the law of attraction." The two settled into a conversation. …The days passed by quickly. On the 20th, Yuna almost couldn't focus on her work. She was just waiting for a call from Cedric. She sat in Carl's office as she waited in silence. Carl placed a cup of tea in front of her. He gave her a small smile. "Why are you so worri
After half an hour, Yvan stood by the window in his study. He listened as Gabriel reported the situation to him. "We've caught him. But the others are chasing after us now. Our team is going to split up. Yvan, should I be interrogating him, or should you do that?" Yvan narrowed his eyes. "I'll do it myself. Lock him up. Don't let him run away or get found by other people." "Got it." Just after the call ended, Terry rushed into the study with an anxious look. "Mr. Jenkins, bad news. Ms. Feron booked the last flight tonight to Hultic." "What time is the flight?" "Midnight." "Book all the seats in the whole plane for me then." …Yuna made all the necessary arrangements. She had to find an excuse to convince her kids when she reached home that night. She also had to meet up and talk to Stanley. To her surprise, she sensed that something was wrong when she was back in Carl's office. "What's going on?" Carl had a grave expression. He shook his head. "Another group of m
"You always come right on time, Surra." Smiling, Yvan teased her, "You're giving me the impression that you're coming here for work." Yuna placed the lunchbox on the dining table with a grin. She answered, "I always tell my housekeeper to prepare the food in advance. That's why I usually come here around the same time. Come and eat, Mr. Morgan."Yvan took his time to walk over. After sitting down, he picked up the spoon and started eating. "Have you been busy these days?" "It's alright." Yuna changed the topic. "Mr. Morgan, allow me to apologize. I'm afraid I can't bring food over to you for a while. My housekeeper will be doing it for me instead. I'll be away for about two weeks. "You shouldn't worry about the progress at the research center. The research will proceed. It won't delay the progress." Yvan had already known she would inform him of her departure. "Where are you heading?" "Oh, I have to attend a few academic conferences abroad. I've already missed a few, so I
When Yuna reached her destination, she didn't meet up with Cedric right away. She contacted Jeremiah instead. She told him to come over. Jeremiah was astonished when he answered the call. As he drove, he even called Nathaniel. "Did you know that your mommy has come to Hultic?" "I did." Nathaniel seemed unfazed. "Tell Mina and Gianna to protect her at all costs." He added, "She'd never change her mind after deciding on something. Besides, the people who kidnapped Pete might not even be our enemies." "Huh? What do you mean?" Jeremiah asked. "Someone shares the same intention as us." "How do you know that?" "I've thoroughly analyzed the situation." Jeremiah was speechless. Sensing his silence, Nathaniel said casually, "Meet up with my mommy first. I'll let you know if there's any other news." …Wherever Yuna was staying, Yvan's men would watch and protect her in secret. Jeremiah rushed over to meet Yuna. "Ms. Feron." Yuna was having coffee as she sat on the co
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
