Semua Bab In His Arms Again: Bab 691 - Bab 700

The moment Yuna and Jeremiah met, she immediately told him to pause the investigation regarding the situation in Hultic for now."Huh? Ms. Feron, do you want me to go to Flokstra and look into Master Eastin's situation first?" Jeremiah asked."Yes." Yuna's expression was grave. She added, "Carl told me about the organization that abducted my teacher. It's called the Black Crown Organization. They're holding him captive and are forcing him to work for them."Can you look into this organization for me?" she asked. Jeremiah was surprised. "I'm not sure what I can do if even Carl Edwards fails to find anything.""Just do your best," Yuna said eagerly."Miss Feron, you're not thinking of rescuing Master Eastin on your own once I locate him, are you?" Jeremiah asked while looking at her. He added, "I haven't looked into Black Crown Organization before. But I did hear about them during my time in Barocia. "This organization is different from ordinary criminal gangs. It garnered a

There was no progress in the investigation. Thus, Yuna had no choice but to wait quietly for Jeremiah's updates. She had resumed her work at Baywater Institute and was kept quite busy.During her breaks, she would chat with Harry and the others. Her colleagues relentlessly requested for a gathering, so Yuna took them out for dinner.Anya held her arm and said, "Surra, how was it in Jefton State?""Well, I grew up in Jefton State, so I'm quite familiar with it. It's just that I haven't been there in a few years, and there have been some significant changes.""Your friends must be there, right?""Yes.""Now that you're back, your friends must miss you a lot.""It's okay. We've already made plans. They'll visit me during New Year.""New Year? That's great!"Yuna nodded with a smile.They chatted and laughed as they entered the restaurant and were led to their private room. Once everyone had entered and the door was about to close, a woman was walking past outside. She excl

"I've heard about quite a few scandals from your time at Jefton State. I even thought you were going to stay there and reconcile with your ex-husband. "Who would have thought you wanted to come back? Surra, don't you think you're being greedy?" As she spoke, Elizabeth filled Yuna's glass with wine. She put down the bottle and fixed her cold gaze on Yuna's face. "Can't you be realistic? The Edwards family is of a noble background. Carl would never marry a divorced woman with two children like you. "Not only will it disgrace the Edwards family, but it will also make them the laughingstock of the entire Waleston. You won't be loved. You're clever, so you must understand the pros and cons here, right?"Yuna smirked and remained composed. "Elizabeth, you've said this to me more than ten times by now, haven't you? To be honest, isn't it you who should be realistic? "If Mr. Edwards wanted to marry you, he would have proposed years ago. Yet, how many years have passed? Why are you s

"Are you swooning, then?"She shook her head. "I'm immune to it by now."Carl chuckled with resignation. "You've got it wrong. You've never been swooned by me since the day we met.""Maybe that's why you let me get close to you," Yuna said."That's part of the reason," he said. "Do you want a friend who lusts over you all the time?""That's supposed to be a normal statement, so why does it sound creepy coming from you?""Those looks make me uncomfortable," he said.Indeed, most people around Carl were either immune to his charm or had come to him for reasons unrelated to the Edwards Family.He had very few friends, but anyone who became his friend would not have to worry about getting in trouble in Waleston.Yuna was special to Carl, which only fueled Elizabeth's resentment toward her."You're always so busy and avoid all social interaction. Isn't that boring?" Yuna asked. Carl laughed. "Surra, do you realize you're lecturing me about being more social when you're the one w

Yvan opened his laptop again and stared at the faces on the screen. "Were these from today?" he asked. "Yeah.""They won't return to the same shopping market they visited today. Even if someone is to go out to buy things again, they will assign different people to do so. "We'll focus on other markets these next few days, and our men who went out today should stay in."After shutting down the laptop, Yvan stood up."Where are you going?" Lucian looked at him. "I'm heading out," Yvan said. Lucian immediately stood up to follow him.…The next day, Yuna went to the research institute as usual. She thought nothing of the phone call Yvan made the previous night.Upon her arrival, Lucy pulled her inside."I heard Elizabeth was picked on you last night?" Lucy scanned her. "Did she lay her hands on you?"Yuna smiled and shook her head. "No, we just exchanged a few words. Carl arrived halfway through our conversation, and I left with him.""Elizabeth was the happiest when you w
