Daisy put on a smile and pretended she hadn't heard the conversation just now. She handed the things she'd brought to Yvan. "I heard that Grandpa Jenkins was in the hospital, so I came to see him. I didn't expect Yuna to be here too."She then bowed slightly and asked, "Grandpa Jenkins, are you feeling better?""I'm fine," Arthur replied.Yuna got up and said, "Grandpa Jenkins, I'll come to see you another day.""Come to my house next time, and at least have a meal with me," Arthur requested."Sure."Daisy felt completely ignored, and when she heard Arthur invite Yuna to his home, her eyes flashed with malice and jealousy.She'd never been acknowledged by Arthur, and even when she went to the Jenkins residence, it was only because Yvan brought her there. If Arthur had acknowledged her, she would have become Mrs. Jenkins by now. But sadly, that never happened.Arthur ordered, "Yvan, see Yuna out."Yvan frowned slightly, and Arthur seemed to sense his thoughts. He added, "Yuna i
With that, Yuna walked out of the elevator and left.Daisy didn’t follow her, still feeling uneasy from the way Yuna looked at her. She took a deep breath and reminded herself to stay calm. Even though Yuna had returned, alive and well, she just had to make sure she didn’t covet the title of Mrs. Jenkins. It was paramount for her to get married to Yvan as soon as possible.Yuna received the surveillance footage of that year from the hospital and the witness statements from Harry.“It took some effort to get those, and I’ve looked through them many times. There are no pictures of the motorcycle, and the person was wearing a helmet. Even when we followed the highway surveillance cameras, the person ended up in a rural area and we lost track of them completely.”After a pause, Harry asked, “Did you see the perpetrator’s face?”Yuna shook her head. Harry asked again, “Are you sure they made a call to Yvan?”She nodded. “Don’t you think it’s weird?”Yuna looked up at him as he an
Leona controlled her expression, not daring to look Yuna straight in the eye. Her head was lowered when she said, “I’m already in jail. What more do you want?”“Nothing, I just wanted to see if you were well.”Leona felt uncomfortable hearing that. “Leona, your daughter must be 24 now. She’s at just the right age to have a nice job, and a nice boyfriend to get married to. Do you need my help?”As soon as Yuna said that, Leona got worked up. She stood up abruptly with her hands on the glass windows and started pleading, “Ms. Feron, I’ve apologized and admitted my faults. My child doesn’t know anything and is innocent. I’m begging you, please don’t hurt her. I’m begging you.”“It seems like you haven’t ensured your daughter’s well-being before being brought here.”Leona kept apologizing, “Ms. Feron, I’m begging you. You can do whatever you want to me, but please don’t touch my daughter.”Yuna raised her eyebrows. “What are you saying?”Leona was about to collapse. “Ms. Feron, wh
In the afternoon, Natalie was fully armed as she took a cab to the private hospital, bringing her precious package with her. She had on a pair of kitty earphones and was wearing a satchel as she walked inside with small steps. Nathaniel spoke to her through her earphones. "Natalie, as soon as you're done, remember to come out immediately. I'll be waiting outside, alright?"“Okay, Nathaniel.”Natalie followed the address Nathaniel had given her and rode the elevator upstairs. She arrived outside of Herbert’s ward. “I found it, Nathaniel.”“Hold on.”In under a minute, Nathaniel had shut off the lights for the whole floor. Even the computers at the nurses' station were malfunctioning as chaos ensued.While everyone was distracted, Natalie took out a box from her satchel that contained a snake and threw it into Herbert’s ward. She giggled and escaped through the emergency exit. “I’m done, Nathaniel.”“Okay, I’ll wait for you.”Natalie held on to the wall and walked quickly do
Back in Bryndale, Natalie was standing in front of Nathaniel, who had his arms crossed angrily, with a guilty face. She grabbed onto his shirt cutely. “I’m sorry, Nathaniel. I switched off the earphones because I was just too happy to see Great-Grandpa.”“Do you know how dangerous that was?”“But I’m fine now, aren’t I?”“What if Great-Grandpa recognized you? Mommy wouldn’t be able to return home safely from Jefton State. Do you want us to have to move in with the Jenkins family with Mommy?” Nathaniel asked. Natalie shook her head. “Did you tell Great-Grandpa anything?” Natalie wanted to tell him she only told Great-Grandpa her name. Since there were many people with the same family name, it shouldn’t be a problem. But when faced with her brother, she cleverly decided to shake her head. “Great-Grandpa just thought I was a lost little girl. Nothing else.”"No more going off the rails next time.""Okay. I promise there won’t be a next time. So, did we succeed, Nathaniel?" she
Yvan was livid.Yuna continued, “Mr. Jenkins, were you sitting here and waiting just to tell me this?”Yvan took a deep breath. He couldn’t believe he stepped out of line because of a phone call. He said coldly, “Grandpa has something to tell you. You should see him in a couple of days.”Yuna lowered her gaze at that. “Okay. I’ll find time to see him. If there's nothing else, please leave.”He didn’t say anything else. He turned around to leave with a cold snort.At night, Yuna was about to leave for her meeting with Ashton but was held back by Mayson as soon as she left her office. “Yuna, everyone is waiting for you. Let’s go.”“Go where?” she asked curiously.“Mr. Jenkins’s dinner party. He asked us to attend. Didn’t Rosy tell you?”Yuna was surprised, but it seemed that Mayson was equally surprised at her reaction. “She didn’t tell you?”Yuna shook her head. “What time is Mr. Jenkins’s party?”“It starts at eight.” Mayson thought she was hesitating because of her identit
Donovan was threatened.Mayson pulled him down to his seat, giving him a cautionary look. At the same time, Yvan walked in as the doors to the private room opened, and the atmosphere changed with his arrival.Donovan stopped talking, while Yuna returned to her calm demeanor. When Yvan saw Yuna seated three seats away from the main seat, he frowned slightly. Once he took a seat, Mayson took a seat next to him with a smile.“Let’s start.” On Yvan’s orders, the servers brought in the day’s specials. “Please help yourselves. There's no need to hold back.”Hearing that, everyone forgot about the earlier incident and started to eat happily. Mayson poured a glass of wine and said to Yvan, “Mr. Jenkins, allow me to offer you a toast. I hope our partnership goes well.”Yvan raised his glass in response to Mayson’s, but his gaze was fixated on Yuna. She was on her phone the entire time, and his brows furrowed as he recalled her phone conversation this afternoon. Suddenly, Donavan confro
Donovan's face paled at Yvan’s statement and Yuna watched his face fall with a hint of a smug smile before continuing to eat her meal calmly.Donovan forced a smile and opened his mouth to reply but was cut off again by Yvan’s mocking tone. “Are you only smiling now because I said you looked like you were going to a funeral?” Donovan didn’t know what to say to that so he mumbled apologetically, “I’m really sorry, Mr. Jenkins, it’s my fault. Please don’t hold it against me.”“Get back to your seat. I’m losing my appetite just looking at you,” Yvan replied dispassionately.Donovan gritted his teeth at this but complied silently.Yvan’s attitude towards Donovan made it clear to everyone in the room that he was on Yuna’s side and Donovan, who had returned to his seat, shot Yuna another loathing glare. He never liked her to begin with and now, he detested her wholeheartedly. Despite Yuna being the focal point of that whole commotion, she was still serenely eating her meal. However,
