Yuna was shocked when she heard his name, but she couldn't help but raise her guard when she heard him address her using her fake name.Ashton smiled slightly. "Ms. Surra, you don’t have to worry. I didn't mean to investigate you, but I coincidentally saw you and workers from the West Drew Institute meet up with Yvan, so I connected the dots myself."She thought of the events from her day.He reached out a hand. "I know that you haven’t officially partnered with TN Group yet. So, I’m guessing I still have a fair chance of working with you."Ashton had just saved her from a potentially dangerous situation, so she reached out her hand to shake his and said, "Mr. Yale, thank you for your help just now.""You’re welcome. I would’ve done the same for any person in that situation." Ashton retracted his hand. "The patrons of this establishment are a mixed bag, so it isn’t safe here. Let me escort you out.""Thank you."The duo had just stepped into an elevator when another person, who
Yvan furrowed his eyebrows and loosened his grip disdainfully."Did you think you could get my attention by acting out like this?" he asked coldly."Mr. Jenkins, you’re hilarious. Aren’t you the one trespassing into my house in the middle of the night? Did I ask you to come?"Yvan’s expression darkened."Mr. Jenkins, you should leave now while I am still in a forgiving mood. If not, you can forget about working with me."Yvan’s veins pulsed on his forehead as he closed their distance with two long strides. He tilted his head down to look at her and said lowly, "I will gladly play along with your charade for now. Besides, I also want to see what you will do next."He huffed and left angrily, and Yuna calmly continued with her night.Though Yvan had stormed out of Yuna’s apartment, he was seated in his car outside of her apartment with Michael. He lit up a cigarette and glared at the tall apartment complex. "Have there been any updates on the investigation of the incident from sev
Yuna exited West Drew Institute and was about to get into her car. Suddenly, the car door was slammed shut by Yvan, who had followed after her. Then he grabbed her wrist."Mr. Jenkins, I don't think it's appropriate to grab someone like this in public," Yuna said, trying to pull away."I don't want to waste your time, so I'll drive you to wherever you're going. In the meantime, we can continue our conversation in the car." Yvan left no room for discussions and didn't allow Yuna to ask him any questions. When she tried to break free, he leaned in and whispered in her ear, "If you want everyone at the institute to know about our relationship, go ahead and make a scene."Gritting her teeth, Yuna glared at him and was forcefully taken away by Yvan.Sitting in the driver's seat, Rose was stunned. Were Yuna and Yvan really that close with each other?Yvan's car drove away. The partition was lowered, and only the two were in the back seat."What do you want to talk to me about?" Yun
Master Eastin said in an unfriendly tone, "Furthermore, you promised to cooperate with TN Group. Can't you teach Yvan a lesson in the process? You can work and take revenge at the same time. It's a win-win situation."Yuna found her teacher's words amusing."If something goes wrong, I will back you up. All I hope is for you to advance further in your career. Only when you are at the top will others nod and agree with you without question, even if you say or do something wrong. That kid is pretty smart. He even called me to hint at me."Upon hearing this, Yuna understood why her teacher happened to call her at this time. Yvan actually approached her teacher. She calmly agreed with her teacher. "I understand, Teacher.""Okay, think it over carefully."After hanging up, Yuna calmly returned to her seat with Ashton's proposal in her hand. "Mr. Yale, your project is quite innovative, and I'm indeed interested in it."Ashton seemed to understand the meaning behind her words. "Ms. Surra
There was a great crashThe white BMW didn't fare any better. The front left side of the car collided with Yuna's car."Rose, are you okay?"Rose had a wound on her forehead. Clutching her forehead, she said, "I'm fine, Ms. Feron. I'll get off and take a look.""It's okay, I'll do it." Yuna got out of the car. Meanwhile, the driver of the white BMW got out too. It was Daisy.Seeing this, Yuna frowned slightly. What a coincidence.Daisy's face paled, fear present in her eyes. Right after she got out of the car, she called Yvan. "Yvan, what am I supposed to do now? I got into a car accident."The moment she saw Yuna, she was stunned. "Yuna?"Yvan's brows furrowed when he heard Yuna's name on the other end of the phone. "Daisy, is Yuna there?""Yvan, I think I hit Yuna's car.""Don't worry. I'll be right there."Daisy forced a stiff smile. "Yuna, what a coincidence. I hit your car.""It is indeed a coincidence." Yuna glanced at the lane beside them and continued, "Ms. Bailey,
Upon hearing Daisy's words, Yvan seemed surprised. Daisy pushed him. "Go and apologize to Ms. Feron. It was all my fault."Yvan's face was gentle. Staring at Daisy's pale face, he instructed, "Michael, get the doctor to do a thorough check-up for Daisy. I'll come to see you later."Daisy nodded obediently, but nobody noticed the anger that flashed across her eyes when Yvan hurriedly exited the ward.She secretly clenched her fists. She didn't expect Yuna would make the first move, making it impossible for her to tell Yvan the story according to her plan. She even had to make her man side with Yuna.Yuna really changed. She was no longer the weak woman from seven years ago. That made her even more of a threat. Daisy would never let anyone take Yvan away!After Rose was done with her check-up, Yuna pushed her out in a wheelchair."Ms. Feron, I've never had such an expensive body check-up before."Yuna smiled. "Don't worry. Someone paid for it.""Huh?" Rose suddenly thought of s
In a private room at a restaurant, Yuna swiftly signed her name on the contract.Yvan lowered his gaze and checked the contract to ensure everything was accurate. "Now that our business is finished, we should talk about some personal matters.""What did you want to talk about, Mr. Jenkins?" Yuna casually traced the outline of the teacup with her slender index finger."Why did you fake your death seven years ago?" "Why are you so sure that I faked my death?" Yuna had a distant look in her eyes. Then she smirked. "Do you think it's a pity I didn't die?"Frowning, Yvan looked at her as if she were a stranger. "I've underestimated you.""It's not surprising that you would have such thoughts." Yuna smiled. "After all, in your eyes, I was a woman you could be bullied whenever you wanted seven years ago. However, after passing through the gates of hell, one will always remember the lessons learned. If you don't believe me, you can try it for yourself. It's not an experience that ordina
"I'm sorry. Because of the circumstances, I couldn't inform you sooner," Yuna apologized and wiped the tears from Sherry's face. "Harry called me and told me that the person involved in the car accident had your name. That was when I found out you were still alive," said Sherry. Then, she examined Yuna from head to toe. "How did you get into a car accident as soon as you got back?""I'm fine. It wasn't me who was driving."Just as she finished speaking, Sherry gave her a pat on the shoulder. "If it weren't for the accident, were you planning to keep us in the dark forever?"Yuna explained, "I'm here because I came to find you. It's just my luck that I got into an accident.""I'll forgive you for a few hours, but be prepared to be thoroughly judged for your misbehavior tonight." Sherry held her phone and informed, "I'm making a reservation at a restaurant now. You still have time to think of a good excuse. Tell us the truth tonight, or I'm never going to let you off the hook for t
