Yuna's face darkened when she heard that. She knew a bit about what kind of man Joe Chandler was. It wasn't surprising that Herbert would make Yasmine marry a rich playboy like him.She also knew that Joe's mother was the mistress who then became the wife, so she didn't have much say in the Chandler household. As for Joe, he's the third son among the siblings. He had two young and successful step-brothers above him. Perhaps, Herbert and Mrs. Chandler had reached a secret agreement regarding this matter. "Are you crazy? Although Yuna and Yvan Jenkins aren't married anymore, I heard that Jenkins is still protective of her. If you dare to have any thoughts about her, won't you be scared that he would do something to you?" his friend teased him. "What should I be scared of? No matter how protective Jenkins could be, she's just his ex-wife. Besides, doesn't he have a girlfriend? How would he be able to look out for Yuna twenty-four-seven?" Joe said playfully. "So you plan to ditch
Darren was smiling widely, looking wild and unrestrained. He shrugged and said, "If Ashton finds out that you were harassed here and I didn't do anything about it, he might even cut ties with me." Ashton? Joe gulped instinctively. Yuna and Ashton were still friends? Yuna took a deep breath. But before she could say anything, Darren already made his way to Joe. There was still a smile on his face, but his eyes were shooting daggers. "Did you say you want to have Yuna?" "No, no." "No? Are you saying that there's something wrong with my ears, and I heard it wrong?" "You … you heard it wrong," Joe stuttered. Darren aimed a kick at Joe's stomach, causing him to sprawl on the floor in pain, his face contorted. Darren crouched. "You dare say that there's something wrong with my ears. You have some guts. If your old man knows how arrogant you are and that you disrespect me, I wonder what he would do to you?" Hearing that, Joe instantly got anxious. "I didn't … I don't disrespec
When Yuna was lost in her thoughts, Kiara suddenly picked up her phone and said, "Hello, who is this?" "Oh, it's you, little brat. Do you want to die? How dare you speak to your sister like that? I'm drinking with Yuna at the club. If you want to come, then come over." Kiara told him the address and hung up right after. Seeing that, Yuna asked, "Kiara, is Yvan coming here?" "Yeah, don't mind that jerk, though. We'll still drink all we want. Come." Kiara pushed a wine glass toward Yuna. Yuna thought that it was good for Yvan to come—he could bring Kiara home.Yvan really came half an hour later. The moment he entered the room, he saw Kiara leaning on Yuna, kissing and hugging her. He frowned slightly, before stepping forward and pulling Kiara away. "Bring Kiara home," he told Michael, who was standing beside him. Michael nodded. He turned and left with Kiara in his arms. Yuna sighed in relief. She didn't think the drunken Kiara would treat Yuna as the guy she was crushi
Yuna stopped in her tracks and turned just in time to see Yvan, who appeared out of nowhere and stood right in front of her. She took a step back. But Yvan reached out and grabbed her waist, stopping her from falling backward. "This is precisely how a person having a guilty conscience reacts." Yuna turned her head and saw Yvan's arm on her waist. She frowned and extricated herself from his grip. "It was you who spoke and appeared out of nowhere. Anyone would be surprised." Seeing how Yuna struggled out of his grip, Yvan's eyes filled with displeasure. He landed his gaze on the neat pile of documents on the table. "Have you sorted out all the details?" "You can take a look and see. If there's anything you don't like, we can discuss it by then," Yuna said in a serious tone. "If there's nothing else, I'll be taking my leave." "Did I allow you to leave?" Yuna stopped. Then, she turned to look at him. Yvan, on the other hand, was already closing the distance between them, to
Yvan's eyes met Yuna's before he moved his eyes away nonchalantly and started eating. He said casually, "That's right, I invited Master Eastin over. But you're the one who came instead." As he spoke, his eyes fell on Yuna's side profile again. There were complicated emotions in his gaze. Yuna was calm and unaffected. As if she had faced the question many times, she replied instantly, "Normally, Master Eastin wouldn't work on the projects he took himself. He would instead distribute it to his few disciples. But during the research, he would watch over and occasionally check on us. I know what you're worried about, Mr. Jenkins. There won't be a problem. Plus, when Master Eastin accepted your project, I believe he mentioned that he wouldn't work on the project. Otherwise, why would you have agreed to let his disciple take it over?" "The way you said it makes it sound like you've handled quite a few similar situations." His tone wasn't happy or angry, but there was a hint of teasing.
It was a call from Cedric. Cedric knew the time difference between Jefton State and abroad. There must be some important matters if he called her at this hour. She quickly answered, "Cedric." Cedric briefly greeted her too. "I thought you'd be asleep." "Did something happen, Cedric?" Yuna asked worriedly. "It's nothing big. I just want to let you know what Master Eastin informed me. He told me that he accepted a project, but it's a secret project, so he can't tell us much about it. And he won't be able to contact us for about three months starting now. We won't be able to contact him either. That's why I'm telling you." Yuna was confused when she heard that. "Whose project is that? Why is it so secretive?" "I've asked about it, but Master Eastin didn't tell me anything. Besides, I only got this information from a text he sent me before he boarded the plane. When I called him, his phone was turned off. I did try to search for the flight that went on, but I couldn't find any
"Even if that's the case, she shouldn't use suicide as a way to attract his attention. I really don't know how her mind works." Kiara's voice carried a mixture of disapproval and disdain toward Daisy, as if she did something embarrassing as a woman. Yuna even thought that if she hung around Yvan more, Daisy would expose what she did again, just like before. Only this would take her a step closer to the truth. She never expected that she would choose to attempt suicide. What a shame.Sensing that Yuna was quiet, Kiara thought she shouldn't have told her the news. So, she quickly changed the topic, "The press conference is happening soon. There's even a public announcement for that. For now, the only thing that hasn't been revealed yet is your identity as Surra. I'm guessing that it would be big news when you appeared on the screen." Yuna could actually hear the excitement in Kiara's voice. She laughed and said, "Yeah, it would be interesting. But I don't think this will affect
At TN Group. Yvan didn't sleep at all for the whole night. After making sure that Daisy was asleep, he sneaked back to Birchwood Heights but was told that Yuna took the chance to leave when he wasn't around. That instantly made his blood boil, but there was nowhere he could release his frustration. That caused him to glare at anybody at work, which left all the employees and staff horrified. Not long after, Michael pushed the door open. "Ms. Feron is here, Mr. Jenkins." Hearing that, Yvan snuffed out his cigarette and frowned. But his brow relaxed soon after. "Why is she here?" Michael explained, "One of the documents that were supposed to be sent here was left out, so Ms. Feron came here to hand it to you." "Let her in." Michael nodded, then turned and left. He gave her a look to signal that she could go in. Seeing her heading inside, Michael breathed a sigh of relief. It would all depend on Yuna whether she could make Yvan's mood better. The moment Yuna entered the of
