Yuna first dropped by Carl's office. As expected, he was still there. Carl knew that she was heading back here. That was why he had been waiting for her. "Mr. Morgan only asked me to bring him around the city. We had a meal along the way too." Yuna stood in front of him. "Why would you ask me to do that so suddenly?" Carl sighed. "Stanley said you're the only person he's familiar with here. That's why I asked you for help." "I only agreed because I didn't want to make things difficult for you." "Even if you didn't agree, I'll have my ways to deal with it." "The project has just started. And it was really nothing. I just came up here to tell you that I'm alright." Carl knew that. After all, his men were following them. They'd inform him right away if anything had happened. "Have a seat." Then, he got a cup of tea and placed it in front of her. "I don't know much about Stanley. Besides, it seems like he's trying to get close to you. Whether or not he has any ulterior mo
Ashton grabbed Darren's hand. He made a look at Darren. Although Darren didn't have the best temper, he held himself back. Lucian watched the interaction between them. He smirked and said, "Mr. Yale, we should be nice to each other when we do business. That's the same when we're having a negotiation. Don't you think so?" Ashton nodded, appearing calm. "Yes. We were a bit impulsive earlier, but our intentions are genuine.""Okay. Tell me what kind of good conditions you can offer me then?" Lucian asked. Then, he raised his hand and said, "But I'll be honest with you. Although the president left this matter for me to resolve, our final decision still has to be approved by him. "Even if I agree to your conditions now, there's still a chance that the president might not be satisfied with those conditions. Do you understand?" "Why are you the one dealing with us then? Can't we just talk it out with Yvan?" Darren asked hotly. "If someone tries to set you off again and again, wou
"Are you really not going to think further about this, Ms. Surra? I can guarantee you that it'll benefit you as well." Yuna was unfazed by Luther's words. "I'm not interested. I hope you won't call me again, Mr. Luther." After hanging up, Yuna blocked his number. When she turned around and was about to head in, Cedric happened to be standing there. "Cedric." "Why did Luther call you out of nowhere?" "When I was having lunch with Mr. Morgan, we bumped into Luther and Elizabeth. They probably misunderstood things and thought that I was close with Mr. Morgan. That's why they wanted me to help by speaking nicely about them to Mr. Morgan." Cedric didn't seem happy hearing that. "They're shameless." "I've turned them down." "For now, the Wycliffe family couldn't recoup the 700 million they lost. Plus, Stanley and Carl are collaborating on this project. So the Wycliffe family would set their eyes on Stanley as well and want to do business with him," Cedric explained. "It's
One thing Yuna hated the most was when someone used the safety of her children and friends to threaten her. It wasn't the first time this happened to her. She called Maxus again. Calmly, she asked, "Where are you?" "Drive half a mile ahead. I'll be waiting for you at the club here." Yuna looked in front of her. She hung up after a firm, "Okay." She knew that Maxus was waiting for her there on purpose. She told Gianna to drive to that club. At the same time, she told Cedric about what was going on. When she entered the club, she first saw Luther, who had been waiting for her. Smiling, he nodded. "Ms. Surra, sorry for doing this to you." Yuna had a cold look on her face. She stood in front of him. "Looking at your expression, this probably has nothing to do with you. Am I right?" Luther seemed troubled as he said, "I hope you understand, Ms. Surra." "Now I know what the Wycliffe family is like." Then, she walked upstairs. Luther smiled bitterly and followed her. He then
Yuna snickered. "I believe you've looked into my background before. Not only am I working at Baywater Institute, but I also have my own company in Jefton State. Do you think a mere hundred million would sway me?" Maxus' face darkened. The smile on his face froze. He didn't expect Yuna to be so greedy. "If I really do give you 700 million dollars, you'll have to do everything you can to get a business deal with Stanley for my company. Can you do that?" Yuna knew that he was only saying that. "Since you're willing to go along with that, taking a video as proof and signing a contract wouldn't be a problem, right?" she asked. Maxus was furious when he heard that. "Are my words not enough?" "Verbal agreements don't provide any solid evidence. If you go back on your words after I walk out of here, who can I turn to for justice?" Yuna wasn't afraid at all. She even tried to agitate him further. "What? Is doing something like that too much for you? Where's the integrity in this,
Maxus staggered and slumped onto the couch. "Are you sure?" "Jerry hung up on me just now." Luther said, "He said that they'll make us pay the price if we harass Surra in any way." "Surra wasn't harassed at all. She wasn't—" Maxus recalled what happened just now. His mind then went blank in an instant. "Uncle Maxus, Surra seemed upset when she was heading out." Concerned, Luther asked, "Did you say something to her that you shouldn't?" "Go and check if Yuna has left." Luther didn't go outside and have a look. Instead, he said, "She definitely did." Holding his forehead, Maxus didn't know what to say for a moment. …Yuna didn't let what happened bother her. She didn't know that Yvan was about to attack the Wycliffe Corp too. Sitting in the car, she saw that there were a lot of missed calls on her phone. They were mostly from Cedric and Carl. She first called Carl. "Hello, Carl." "Are you still in there?" "Don't worry, I've already left. I'm going to meet up with
It was Yvan's car. When he saw Yuna happily chatting with the others, he wasn't worried about her anymore. So he told Jerry to drive away and leave. But Nathaniel happened to see his car. There was hesitance in the child's eyes. That car seemed familiar to him. But he thought that it would be strange if Yvan were here. After the meal, they headed back home. Yuna, Sherry, and Harry were discussing something in the study. Meanwhile, Nathaniel and Natalie went back to their room. Natalie was curious to see Nathaniel looking into Stanley and Devito Corporation. "Nathaniel, didn't you investigate Devito Corporation and Stanley last time? Why are you looking them up again?" "Something's weird." "How?" Natalie stood beside him and saw what he was searching on his laptop. Tilting her head, she asked, "Do you think this man has feelings for Mommy too?" "How did you know that?" "When we were in the museum, I thought that the way that man looked at Mommy was kind of strange. H
Yuna wanted to send the kids back home first. But after giving it some thought, she decided to bring them with her. She couldn't let go of what happened before their dinner yesterday. Besides, she did bring the kids to the research center from time to time. And so, they tagged along and followed Yuna to work. Holding their hands, they were about to enter the company when her coworkers warmly greeted them. Everyone wouldn't stop interacting with the kids when they saw them. Natalie smiled sweetly as she said hello to them. Meanwhile, Nathaniel appeared cool. He kept quiet and didn't say a word. Yuna led them to the lounge to sit. Her coworker watched over them while she went to get changed. After she came out, her kids attracted everyone's attention again in the research center. A lot of people were lingering around the lounge. Even the table was filled with all kinds of snacks. She chuckled helplessly at the scene. Natalie held Nathaniel's hand the whole time. She cheer
