Yvan wanted to get near her. Yuna instantly slapped his hand away. Tears rolled down her cheeks. She laughed bitterly. "If I knew, I would've pulled my mom away back then." "That's right. Your mom shouldn't have saved us." Hearing Yuna's confession and watching how much pain she was in, Yvan's heart stung. "Yuna—" "What? Are you feeling even more guilty toward me now after finding out the truth? And you want to compensate me for that?" she said with a sneer. "There seems to be no use for me to say all that." "Then don't say it," she said through gritted teeth, "But thanks for telling me. Also, please tell me what Pete said in his confession." Yvan pulled out a recording pen and gave it to her. "Thank you!" Yuna was about to leave after taking the recording pen, but Yvan grabbed her arm and stopped her. "It's late now. You should stay here for the night. The hotel you're staying at isn't safe. They have their eyes on that hotel now." "How do you know that? Who's watc

Yuna ate half a tub of the ice cream. After that, fatigue set in. She bid Lucian goodnight before heading upstairs to sleep. Yvan, who was hiding in a corner, came out only after she left. Lucian didn't look up. He continued to eat. "Did you hear everything we said?" He already knew the answer to that question. Yvan sat on the chair which Yuna sat on just now. He sighed. "Don't worry. After knowing the truth, I believe Yuna won't feel as much animosity toward you anymore. Besides, she's actually concerned about you. She just doesn't want to admit it," Lucian reassured him, He added, "But it's best if you can catch Jacob tomorrow. That's a way to better your relationship with Yuna." "Yeah." …Yuna slept late, but she woke up early the next morning. She even made breakfast in the kitchen. To her surprise, all the ingredients were there in the fridge. She didn't have to worry about having no ingredients to make food. When Yvan and the others headed downstairs, they sa

Lucian said, "He's really tight-lipped. He didn't say anything at the start. He only spoke up when we tortured him. He's Jacob's personal assistant, after all. He even manages Jacob's work matters. Do you think he'd tell us everything?" Yuna shook her head. Nodding, Lucian said, "That's why we had to torture him more afterward. If not, we wouldn't be able to act sooner than we expected and catch Jacob. "We don't have much time. Since we're making a move, we should proceed quickly. It would've given them time to counter our attack if we didn't. Our success rate would probably decrease by then." Right then, Lucian was leading Yuna down the basement. "I hope you won't get terrified later." She smiled. "When Yvan showed me the pictures, he didn't even think of blurring the pictures." Lucian chuckled helplessly. "He's just too simple-minded." She didn't say a word. When the door was opened, the first thing she saw was Pete. He was already untied from the chair, curling up in a

Jacob's face was steely. He scolded, "Do I have to explain why I want to do this?" "Sorry, I shouldn't have asked. We'll proceed with the investigation." The man cowered and went away. Impatient, Jacob said, "Get me another glass of champagne." The beautiful woman next to him dared not say anything. She then poured a glass of champagne for him. When he took it, he waved her away. "Get out. I'm not in the mood for anything tonight." The woman was relieved. Holding her breath, she dashed down the stairs. Right then, a thought crossed Jacob's mind. He picked up the phone on the coffee table and was about to call someone. Right then, someone grabbed his throat. Instantly, Jacob became breathless. The glass in his hand fell onto the rug with a silent thud. Jacob widened his eyes and wanted to see who that man was. But then, he saw a familiar face. It was the first time Yvan saw Jacob's face so clearly. If it weren't for that expression on his face, which was vastly dif

"Nonsense!" Master Eastin was so angry that his voice trembled. "You promised me that you wouldn't hurt my students. But you're going against our deal!" "You can't blame me. Your students just can't sit still. They just had to find out where you are. Besides, the ex-husband of your student actually kidnapped my business partner." Narrowing his eyes, Bruce said, "So, I had no choice. I have to make sure that my plan is foolproof. I won't allow any mistakes to happen." "You're absurd!" Master Eastin demanded, "I'm telling you, if you dare to hurt my students, I certainly won't let you off!" "Why would I hurt your students? Besides, aren't you proud of Surra the most? Perhaps she can help you solve the problem," Bruce said with a smile. Upon hearing that, Master Eastin's face paled. "I won't allow my student to get involved in this mess. Never!" Bruce sneered, "Please, show some respect. You're in my research center now. If you talk to me like that, do you think that would h
