Bruce waved someone over, who then placed a pile of documents in front of Yuna. "As a matter of fact, your teacher is stuck with some trouble with the calculation part," Bruce said. "If you can solve this problem, I'll grant one of your wishes." "I want you to release my teacher," Yuna said without thinking twice. "Can't believe such a close connection could exist between a teacher and a student." There was envy in Bruce's eyes. But he still said with a smile, "Alright, I'll do that. But there is a time limit. I want you to solve the calculation within 24 hours." Yuna was reading through all the documents seriously. She said, "I'll try to finish it as soon as possible." "There's no trying. You must finish it as soon as possible." Yuna glanced at him without a word. She then lowered her head to read the documents again. Bruce then waved everyone away, signaling that they shouldn't disturb her from her reading. When he was about to head out, he gave Yuna a meaningful gl
Right after those words left Jacob's mouth, Yvan stabbed his shoulder with the knife. Instantly, Jacob jerked his head up as he howled in pain. "Tell me everything you know about the Black Crown Organization. If not, I'll rip off your limbs one after another and make you a cripple. "I won't make things easy for you by killing you. I'll make sure you're thoroughly crippled. You'd be as good as dead." Hearing Yvan's terrifying words, Jacob's eyes widened in shock. Gritting his teeth, he said, "Yvan Jenkins, don't forget that I'm your uncle!" "Do you think you can call yourself that?" "Once your grandfather hears about this, he won't let you off!" "Don't worry, I'll let you see Grandpa right before you die." After that, Yvan moved behind him. Jacob broke out into a cold sweat instantly. "What, what are you trying to do? Ahh!" Yvan swung his knife and slit Jacob's arm. He shrieked in agony. …Yuna now understood all the basic mechanisms of this project. She did t
Bruce stopped watching the surveillance camera. Lifting his head up, he spoke to his assistant, who was standing in front of him. He asked, "How's the situation outside?" The assistant replied, "It's relatively quiet outside, Mr. Houston. Since Yvan has taken Jacob away, I think our secret base will be discovered soon. Shouldn't we take some protective measures?"Bruce chuckled. "Protective measures? We're waiting for Yvan to bring his men over and meet us." Narrowing his eyes, he said darkly, "We'll then be able to get rid of all of them at once. Only then would the progress of our research not be affected." "What a brilliant plan, Mr. Houston." …Under Yvan's threats and torture, Jacob was forced to tell him the location of the secret base of the Black Crown Organization. Panting hard, Jacob said, "Even if you know where their secret base is, you wouldn't be able to save Master Eastin. Do you think I don't know your plan? You just want to save Master Eastin so you can ask
After a long while, Yuna and Master Eastin finally solved the calculation by working together. Yuna was overjoyed and said, "Master Eastin, we've finally gotten the answer!" "Let's go see Bruce then," Master Eastin said. "We have to negotiate things with him." "Okay." Yuna knocked on the door, signaling the men outside to bring Bruce over. Soon, Bruce arrived. Yuna showed him the calculation sheet filled with equations. "We've found the answer to the problem," she said. "As soon as you insert the data here, I believe you can proceed with the research. That's good news, isn't it, Bruce?" Hearing that, Bruce looked at the sheet of paper full of numbers and equations. He clapped and said with a smile, "I didn't expect you two to be so invincible when you work together. You actually managed to find the answer to a problem my team hasn't managed to solve for half a month." "Can we negotiate now, then?" Master Eastin asked calmly. Bruce was about to reach for the formul
After hearing that, Cedric asked in shock, "How could you only tell me about this now?" Seeing how agitated he was, Jeremiah explained helplessly, "I came to tell you right after I found out, Mr. Xavier. Is there a problem?" "Yes, a very big one." Cedric frowned and muttered, "I can't believe it's him!" Cedric then left to see Carl and the others. Jeremiah reported Cedric's reaction to Nathaniel. Then, he followed suit and ran downstairs. When everyone was present, Cedric said, "I've finally found out who the man behind the Black Crown Organization is." Everyone was shocked and stared at him. "It's Bruce Houston." Carl instantly stood up when he heard that name. "Cedric, do you even hear yourself? Bruce died more than 20 years ago. How could he be the man behind the Black Crown Organization?" Cedric then repeated the information Jeremiah had told him. He showed everyone Bruce's pictures and Bruce's working style when he was alive. Upon comparing this information wi
After comforting Master Eastin, Yuna continued to work. She took her chance and told him, "Master Eastin, I'll finish up the rest of the work. You should only take action when you catch my signal." Master Eastin asked, "Are you confident about this?" "Not really. But I can at least ensure Bruce won't succeed in his plan." "Okay then. I wouldn't feel guilty for the rest of my life as long as we manage to ruin his project." The two didn't say anything after that and continued to work. In the eyes of an outsider, they really seemed to be focusing on their work. …Yvan and the rest had already planned everything out. In the midst of preparation, Carl went to see Yvan alone. "I want to talk to you." Yvan had already changed into a black camo jacket. He was loading his gun with bullets. When he noticed Carl at the door, he glanced at him coldly. "I have nothing to say to you." "It's about Surra." "How dare you talk to me about her?" "Are you proud of pestering Surra j
Yuna nodded. She followed Nick to a blind spot to have a chat with the help of other researchers. "We all heard about the matter of you and Master Eastin. We just want to know if you guys are really going to help Bruce finish this research project?" Yuna simply looked at him, keeping her mouth shut. Pausing for a second, Nick asked, "Ms. Surra, you don't trust me, do you? It's right to suspect me. But you can rest assured that I'm not blindly following Bruce. I'm disgusted by his actions." Then, he pulled out a pen drive and said, "The reason Bruce's project is progressing slowly isn't just because Master Eastin couldn't solve the calculation. It's also because he told me to do certain things to the machines in secret." Yuna then realized something. "So you're the one who Master Eastin was talking about." "That's right." Nick sighed in relief. "Thank god Master Eastin told you about this." "Sorry." "It's okay. Let's keep things short and don't get caught." Yuna and Ni
The ones who just entered the secret base thought they were discovered. "Did they find out about us?" Jeremiah stood beside Gabriel as he looked at the tablet in Gabriel's hand. "No. They didn't." "Why are the alarms blaring then?" Confused, Jeremiah asked. Right then, Yvan's voice came in over the earpiece. "We're not the ones who triggered the alarm. It's the situation in the research lab. Head over there quickly and check out what's happening." Gabriel put the tablet away, and they hurriedly looked for the location of the research lab according to the directions above their head. The research lab was bathing in white smoke. The researchers inside covered their mouths and escaped.Bruce, who was watching the situation happening outside, heard about the situation at the research lab. He quickly rushed over. "What's going on?" Hiding in the dark, Yuna made sure that Master Eastin was hiding somewhere safe. She then blew a whistle. "Go!" Nick yelled. Then, a group o
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
