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
Cedric shooed them away, saying that he needed to work. He also told them they could come to his office to watch the twins during lunch break. The others had no choice but to leave them alone. Cedric then headed to the research lab. He saw that Yuna had already started working. "Natalie and Nathaniel are playing in my office right now. You can head there if you want to see them later." Chuckling, Yuna said, "Cedric, Lucy and the others wouldn't do anything to the twins. You're always so worried." "They're all people who are single and haven't married yet. Looking at how excited they are whenever they see Natalie and Nathaniel, accidents could happen whenever so many people surround them," Cedric said seriously. Then, he added, "Let them go to my office during lunch break to see Natalie and Nathaniel." "Okay then." …Yvan knew that Yuna had to drop Harry and Sherry off at the airport, so he didn't head out for a run that day. But when he realized that Yuna didn't brin
Natalie was wondering if Carl was at the research center too. If he was, perhaps she could head upstairs to have some fun with him. Carl's office was huge. There were many things she could play with over there. She was excited and was about to head upstairs. To her surprise, she bumped into someone. The man was quick to react. He carried her up. "Did you get hurt?" Natalie frowned and rubbed her backside. But she realized that the man was rubbing the spot where she got hurt as well. She then opened her eyes. When she saw the man in front of her, she widened her eyes. "It's you." "You recognized me?" Yvan smiled warmly. He was able to hug Natalie again after so much time had passed. He was over the moon. "Of course. You're the handsome man who went to the museum with my mommy that day." Yvan was slightly disappointed when he was being referred to that way. But at least his daughter remembered him. She was even friendly toward him. He didn't need to create any scenarios
At Nathaniel's explanation, Carl furrowed his brow. He knew Natalie would definitely not go missing if she was in the research center. He held Nathaniel's hand and told his men to look for Natalie. "Follow me." "Alright." Nathaniel let him hold his hand. Even the staff who were passing by would greet him cautiously. With Carl being there, they didn't dare to do whatever they wanted. Soon, Carl's man came back. "Mr. Edwards, Natalie was brought to the mini park at the back by Mr. Morgan." Carl and Nathaniel both seemed surprised. "Don't tell Mommy about this first, Uncle Carl. I don't want to distract her from work. Let's go meet Nat ourselves," Nathaniel suggested. "Okay," Carl agreed. He told the others, "Don't let this get out. Call me if anything happens." "Understood." Then, Carl led Nathaniel to the mini park. …Natalie and Yvan were having fun in the mini park. Watching the field of flowers, Natalie pointed at them and said proudly, "Let me tell you. I
The atmosphere became tense. Yvan didn't become upset. Instead, he seemed apologetic. He nodded. "Sorry, I didn't think much. I just thought that she was cute." Carl took a deep breath. Upon hearing Stanley's apology, he had no choice but to let it go, even though he felt uncomfortable. "I'll ask my assistant to keep you company. I'll have to bring the kids away first. I hope you understand." After that, he carried Natalie and led Nathaniel away. Yvan replied with a simple "Okay." Coldly, he watched as Carl took his children and left. The sight was killing him inside. But because of the plan, he had to hold himself back. As they walked further from him, Yvan took a deep breath to calm himself down. He jerked his head away so that it wouldn't affect his feelings or he'd seem suspicious. …Natalie was resting on Carl's shoulders while being carried by him. She kept sneaking glances at Nathaniel, who was walking beside Carl. She didn't dare to breathe loudly. She knew tha
