Yuna mildly side-eyed Blake and continued walking toward Herbert to take a seat opposite of him. "I'm here now. What did you want to say to me?"Herbert was furious at her nonchalant attitude. "The whole company knows that you are in possession of thirty percent of the company's shares but until now, you still haven't shown up at the company. How do you expect me to explain this to the other shareholders?" he admonished angrily.Blake coldly scoffed in agreement. "What's the point of taking so much of the company's shares if you don't even know anything? What a joke."As he talked, he made his way toward Herbert and Yuna and he slammed his fist aggressively on Herbert's desk. "What is the point of taking all those shares?" he questioned her.Yuna was unphased. "Oh, so the reason why Dad called me here today was for me to surrender the shares?"Herbert's expression was icy as he said, "You don't know how to handle the shares. Wouldn't it be better for you to surrender the shares to
Blake wanted to stop her from leaving but was stopped by Herbert. "Blake, get back here now!"He reluctantly turned to look at his father and whined petulantly, "Dad, are you really just going to let her go like that? Did you not see how arrogant she was acting just now? The past seven years that she has spent overseas have spoiled her completely."Herbert took a deep breath to calm himself down before raising his head to say gloomily, "Even though she and Yvan are divorced, Yvan is still protecting her whenever she gets in trouble. Think about what happened to Lester. Do you really think that Yvan had no part in that?"Blake swore under his breath at that and Herbert continued, "Of course. I have my ways to take back the shares that she has now, but the most important thing now is your safety."Blake's expression twisted at that. "Lester was beaten half to death, and I didn't really wasn’t doing anything then either. I don't think they’ll come for me," he rationalized hesitantly.
"Mommy, does that mean you’re gonna be finished with the research project earlier than expected?" Natalie asked excitedly.Yuna smiled and nodded. "Of course. Once the project is complete we can all go home together."Natalie almost blurted out that she didn't want to leave, but she caught herself and nodded happily. "Yay! I also miss my classmates, Aunty Reina, and Grandpa Eastin!"She also would miss her Great-Grandpa but, of course, she didn't say that out loud.Nathaniel had promised she would get to see their Great-Grandpa again, but he went back on his promise. She has been silently holding a grudge since.After dinner, Yuna was working in the study room when she received a call from Gabriel."Good evening, Sister-in-law." Yuna could practically hear the smile in his voice as he called her that. She didn't bother correcting him."Calling me at such a late hour? Mr. Fisher, do you have good news for me?""I do! I haven't given Blake Feron a visit yet because of you, Ms. Fe
She couldn't tell where Blake was in the video, but she could tell that he was in a private location. Furthermore, judging by the angle at which the video was taken, it was clear that someone had secretly filmed him.In the video, Blake had restrained a woman on a table and was pouring bottle after bottle of alcohol down her throat. He was laughing like a maniac. The pinned-down woman was visibly struggling to break free, but she was only met with clapping and cheering by the others in the room.It was a heinous act and if it was made public, the Feron family's reputation would be in danger.There was a twinkle in Yuna's eye after the video ended because, compared to the proof she had of what Lester and Blake had done, this was more substantial evidence for taking down the Feron name. Yvan, who was still sitting silently in the corner was watching her expression attentively while she watched the video. Though she was good at not letting her emotions show on her face, he was still
Before Yvan could say anything, Lucian raised a hand and interrupted him. "Yes I know that I'm reminding you about it again, but it's the truth! Even though you two signed a contract, you have to face the reality that Yuna is Surra and that she is the only person who can work with you on that project. Remember what Master Eastin said before?"Yvan looked away coldly instead of answering, so Lucian took the liberty to repeat what Master Eastin had said. "Master said that neither he nor his followers can guarantee that they can do the project, but he said that Surra could. We all know how powerful the Master really is, and we are all also aware of Surra's capabilities. So, you have to get her to be on your side," he reminded Yvan.Yvan side-eyed Lucian suspiciously as he said, "This isn't the first time you're defending her, Lucian."Lucian simply shrugged as he replied, "It's only because you need her right now for your project."Yvan didn't want to keep having that conversation a
Yuna didn't know if Yvan was going to show up, but what she did know was that she needed to escape.However, instead of running away from them, she ran toward the Twilight.She could hear the two men chasing after her and luckily, she was wearing sneakers today, so she could run faster.She cast a glance behind her and saw that she had managed to create quite a distance between her and her pursuers, but when she turned her attention back to the front, she had suddenly barreled into a man's embrace."Fuck them up." Yvan's voice was frosty and dripping with disgust.Yuna felt an odd sense of security when she heard his voice. She was safe in his embrace and she could smell the sweet scent of alcohol on him. It made her dizzy.However, she came back to her senses when she heard the pained cries of the men behind her, so she wriggled out of his arms to look back at them, but before she could do so, Yvan had already dragged her into his car by her arm.Yvan sped away from Twilight wi
Yuna took a deep breath. What had used to be her and Yvan's marital house was now a place for their illicit affair. Yuna couldn't help but laugh at herself when she thought about how she had somehow become Yvan's mistress.However, this was the fastest and most efficient way to investigate whether Yvan had anything to do with that motorcycle case from seven years ago, so she could only bite her tongue and endure the humiliation for now.Yvan immediately told all the staff to leave after they entered Birchwood Heights. Then, he took a seat on the sofa. Yuna simply stared at him, unsure of what she was expected to do."Go make supper," he suddenly instructed."Can I leave after I'm done?" she asked.Yvan quirked an eyebrow. "I just praised you for your skill at playing the role of my mistress, but now you've already forgotten how to act like one?" he teased.Yvan was sitting leg crossed over the other on the sofa with a lit cigarette in hand. He looked down at his phone screen and
"Don't watch those movies ever again. You know they give you nightmares."There was a pause before Yvan continued, "I won't be coming over tonight. If you really can't handle it, then I'll call a therapist to go over and talk to you. Yeah, I'll come over tomorrow." There was only one person in the world who could make Yvan speak so gently. It was Daisy.Yuna's heart stung at hearing his gentle tone, but she also felt bad for Daisy.It had been seven years, so she thought that Daisy and Yvan would at least be married by now, but they weren't. Now, Yvan and Yuna had gone from being divorced partners to affair partners. Daisy was the victim in this situation now.This was the kind of thing that only happened in books and movies!Now, Yuna wasn't sure if she should feel bad for Daisy or despise Yvan for being such a despicable piece of shit.She didn't stay to listen to the rest of their conversation and made her way back to the master bedroom and on the way back, she reminded hers
