Yuna wasn't bothered by Jade's mockery at all. She said, "You're in our hands now. Do you think your boss would save you or get rid of you when he finds out?" Hearing that, Jade scrunched up her eyebrows. "What are you talking about?" "Actually, I don't have to sit here and talk to you. They have ways to force you to speak. It's just a matter of time before you confess. "A flight from Hultic to Waleston would take at least seven or eight hours. Besides, your team is unfamiliar with the place and people in Phoenix City. It'll take some time for them to find you. "Provided that they'd be able to land smoothly, that is. As you know, our men are all over Phoenix City. What do you think will happen to you in these few days, then? "Before they could find you, perhaps your boss had already heard about your forced confession. Even if we set you free by then, do you think there's any use for your boss to keep you alive? "If it was me, I'd definitely get rid of you. After all, you sp
Yuna said, "I asked her why she helped my dad start a new company in Roseville." "So why did she do that?" Cedric asked. "She said it's because of me. If I had died, these things wouldn't have happened. Jacob has resented Yvan since long ago. The car crash I got into also has something to do with Jacob. And that's just because I was pregnant." Cedric was astonished upon hearing that. "Your car crash is related to Jacob as well?" "I thought that it was strange too. But Jade didn't seem to be lying. I'm now curious what exactly went down between him and Yvan." "Are you worried about Yvan?" "We heard that he was seriously injured a while ago. I'm suspecting that Jacob was involved," Yuna said. She paused for a second. Then, she glanced at him before looking away. "Cedric, I didn't mean anything else by that." "It's normal for you to think that way. After all, you suspected it was all Yvan's doing back then. But now you know it's not just related to Daisy but also Jacob. So
At night, Yuna brought some dinner over to see "Stanley". She even made a few dishes herself that day. When Yvan was eating, he could taste the difference. "This doesn't seem to be made by your housekeeper. It tastes like food in Jefton State. Surra, did you cook today?" "I didn't think you'd know so much about food from different countries." "I've tried food from Jefton State before. They taste amazing," Yvan said with a smile, "Thank you, Surra. I have the chance to enjoy dishes from Jefton State because of you." "It's my pleasure." "You're so good at cooking that you can open a restaurant." "I'll be even more exhausted than I am now," she replied with a grin. "It could be tiring. But if you ever decide to do that, just let me know. I'll invest in it." "Alright," Yuna said. Yvan seemed to be enjoying the food today way more than the last few times. "You're such a busy woman. Yet, you made time to cook for me. This probably tires you out a lot. You don't have to do
Words were stuck in Yuna's mouth. After thinking about it carefully, she said, "My mind went blank. All this time, I thought Yvan was indirectly involved in the attempted murder. I didn't think that somebody else was behind it." Calmly, Harry said, "Nonetheless, didn't Jacob scheme against you because you were pregnant with Yvan's children? In the end, you're the victim here." Sherry said, "Although that's the case, I still think Yvan is innocent. Of course, that's about it. I still remember all the things he did to Yuna." A smile appeared on Yuna's face. "I didn't say that I'm going to forgive Yvan just because this incident has nothing to do with Yvan." "You better." Drinking some coffee, Harry continued, "No matter who it is, his wrongdoings shouldn't be forgotten. One can never turn back time. It's impossible to forgive him for what he did to Yuna." "What's going on? Why are we talking about forgiving Yvan now? Yuna, aren't you living well in Waleston now? Since she's n
After reaching the research center, Yuna told Cedric about Luther's call. His face hardened. "Luther isn't a good man." "Carl's terminating all the collaboration between him and their family. It's a huge loss for them," Yuna said."Yes, they're suffering from great loss. They probably can't even calculate how much the losses are. That's why they're thinking of ways to reconcile with Carl. "I heard that people from the Wycliffe family kept paying visits to see Mrs. Edwards. But they were turned away," Cedric explained. "Mrs. Edwards is a reasonable woman. She never interfered when things happened between Carl and the Wycliffe family back then. Perhaps the incident was so outrageous that she got angry as well." "Angry is an understatement." Right after that, Cedric got a call from Carl. "Jade finally confessed." …When Yuna and Cedric reached the dock, Jade was locked in the water dungeon. She was sitting on a chair. But she was drenched. A towel was wrapped around her.
"I'm going to visit Hultic to deal with this matter," Cedric suddenly said. "I want to go as well," Yuna chimed in. "No way!" Cedric and Carl replied at the same time. Yuna said, "If we can capture Jacob's assistant, we'll find out about everything. I want to be there." Carl tried to persuade her, "It's dangerous in Hultic. Even with Jade's information, we can't fully trust her. We can only try to find that guy and test things out." "After we're sure he'll be at the pub, we can only start planning," Cedric added. He turned on his phone. "It's the 18th today. If I go there right now, it would be the 19th already." Carl nodded. Cedric then walked outside as he made a call. When Yuna was about to follow him, Carl stopped her. "I know you're eager to save Master Eastin, but don't forget that Natalie and Nathaniel are still here. Besides, it's not safe there. What if something happens to you?" Carl asked. "I know what you're worried about. But Jacob—" "What about Jacob
Caleb shrugged. "That guy was being mysterious. I don't know what he was talking about. He even hung up right after saying that. He hasn't been replying to my texts." "Really?" Yuna exclaimed. "What's wrong? Did something bad happen between you two?"Yuna shook her head. "No." "Are you dating Ashton now?" Yuna shook her head profusely. "I'm just friends with Mr. Yale." "I see." Disappointed, Caleb shook his head too. "That's a shame, but there's nothing we can do about it. This is a matter of fate, after all." "Since when did you start believing in fate?" "Sometimes you just have to. Although I don't really believe in god, I believe in the law of attraction." The two settled into a conversation. …The days passed by quickly. On the 20th, Yuna almost couldn't focus on her work. She was just waiting for a call from Cedric. She sat in Carl's office as she waited in silence. Carl placed a cup of tea in front of her. He gave her a small smile. "Why are you so worri
After half an hour, Yvan stood by the window in his study. He listened as Gabriel reported the situation to him. "We've caught him. But the others are chasing after us now. Our team is going to split up. Yvan, should I be interrogating him, or should you do that?" Yvan narrowed his eyes. "I'll do it myself. Lock him up. Don't let him run away or get found by other people." "Got it." Just after the call ended, Terry rushed into the study with an anxious look. "Mr. Jenkins, bad news. Ms. Feron booked the last flight tonight to Hultic." "What time is the flight?" "Midnight." "Book all the seats in the whole plane for me then." …Yuna made all the necessary arrangements. She had to find an excuse to convince her kids when she reached home that night. She also had to meet up and talk to Stanley. To her surprise, she sensed that something was wrong when she was back in Carl's office. "What's going on?" Carl had a grave expression. He shook his head. "Another group of m
