Yvan was completely distracted by Yuna's sudden appearance. So he told Daisy softly, "Sorry, let's cancel tonight's dinner. I'll bring you here another day."Daisy's face turned pale as the lipstick stain on Yvan's tie caught her attention. She clenched her fist, and her gaze gleamed with anger and hate. Still, she forced a smile and agreed easily. "Alright." She gritted her teeth while staring at Yvan's departing figure. Why was Yuna still alive?!…Later, Yuna returned to her apartment. After showering, she video-called her children while sitting on the couch. They answered the call in just a few seconds."Mommy! Mommy! I miss you so much." A chubby, round face popped up on the screen."Natalie, don't shake the phone. Mommy might get dizzy." A handsome little face appeared. He took the phone away from Natalie and placed it on the table.Yuna gave birth to twins. The first to be born was a boy that looked like Yvan, while his sister looked like Yuna. No matter where Yuna broug
The next day, in the private room of a high-class restaurant, Yvan was looking at his watch. He had waited for more than 40 minutes, but Surra still had not shown up. Never before had anyone dared to let Yvan wait for such a long time. "Sorry, the traffic was congested on the way here, so we're late." The private room door suddenly opened, and Yuna went in with a smile, Rosy behind her.Michael was shocked when he saw Yuna, while Yvan's expression was livid. He couldn't believe his own eyes, as he had never expected Yuna to be Surra.Rose was terrified as she stood beside Yuna. When she entered, she could already feel the strong hate coming from Yvan. She put the documents on the table with trembling hands. "M—Mr. Jenkins, this is Ms. Surra, and we…""No need for introductions. I know her. All of you, out. I want to speak alone with Ms. Surra." Yvan's tone was cold, and his gaze was deep. Soon, only two of them were left in the room. Yvan demanded, "What tricks are you up to?"
"It's improper for men and women to have such close contact."Yvan felt that Yuna was messing up his mind and emotions; he had never felt this uneasy. He coldly asked, "Conditions. Anything you want.""Mr. Jenkins, it seems you care about this project very much." Hearing her teasing tone, Yvan didn't reply and only glared at her.Then, Yuna slammed the documents on his chest and smiled. She didn't seem scared of Yvan at all. "Mr. Jenkins, if you want to sincerely invite me to partner with your company, that's easy. Just find the person who tampered with the drink that night and make them apologize to me. Then, this project is a done deal."The veins on Yvan's forehead were pulsing. "Weren't you the one who said no personal feelings?" "Mr. Jenkins, you're the one who said I can ask for anything. I'll give you one day. No second chances once the time is up." And with that, Yuna left the room. When Michael saw Yuna leave, he quickly entered the room. Seeing Yvan's livid expressi
Herbert’s eyes widened. He obviously didn't expect his daughter, who used to be so meek, to say that to him. However, Cora quickly seized the opportunity to add insult to injury. "Herbert, look, she’s even talking back to you now. I don't know where she learned this behavior, but I bet she’s here to screw things up on purpose. Why else would she agree to the engagement and then offend them?"Herbert agreed after he heard Cora’s reasoning."Yuna! Repeat what you said!"Yuna glared at him coldly. "Don’t you remember how my mother died?""What is the point of this question? You think I killed your mother?" Herbert yelled."Yuna, you’re so heartless. How could you blame your mother’s death on your father? Don’t you know how many sleepless nights your father had to endure because of your alleged death?" Cora added.Yuna thought her stepmother was hilarious. If her death had devastated her father, she would have voluntarily died young just so he would suffer.She stood before them wit
"Yes!" Spencer punched the air in excitement. Nathaniel raised his head to look at Spencer and pushed his sunglasses further up his face. "Uncle Spencer, I hope you can also continue doing a good job keeping the secret."Spencer quirked his eyebrows. "Don’t worry about it; let’s go! We can get off the plane now. Hold my hand, children, and don’t run off."The children exchanged a look once Spencer wasn’t looking, as if they were conspiring.That night, Yuna received a call from Yvan, asking to meet up.Yuna was aware of how efficient Yvan could be when he was working. Besides, that situation seven years ago happened in his house, and she knew how important this project was to him.She was deliberately utilizing his interest in the project to indirectly make him investigate matters for her.Even if decades had passed, she would not give up until she proved that she was innocent if she was wrongly blamed for something she didn’t do.Once she arrived at Twilight, she was personal
Yvan stared at Yuna silently, but Yuna was unphased by his piercing gaze. "Wasn’t it you who suspected me of tampering with the wine back then?" she asked him instead."Can you swear that you had no ulterior motives that day?" he asked coldly.His words felt like a knife in her chest.Of course she had ulterior motives. She had thought that if they consummated their marriage, then maybe he would change his mind about her.But things didn't work out like that. Once he had set his mind to something, he wouldn’t change.She arched an eyebrow and repressed those thoughts. "Mr. Jenkins, Even if you wanted to use emotions to convince me to work with you, you still shouldn’t use things that have never happened as leverage. It’s very insincere," she said, smiling.Yvan's expression darkened at her reaction. "You should make good on your promise now.""Are you apologizing to me?""Take what you can get, Yuna."Yuna didn't back down. "But sincerity is the core of doing business."Yvan
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
