A loud crash sound was heard in the entire study room. Rapheal turned to look at the items his father had thrown at him after regaining himself and saw that it was a pen case that was made out with the best marbles that was thrown at him. If that hard pen case had hit him, he would surely have had his forehead open with injury but thankfully he was quick enough to avoid the impact.Eva, who had been silently listening to the bickering between her grandfather and uncle and didn't say anything at first since she didn't want to interrupt their argument and she was secretly enjoying the argument between them . But when she heard the loud crash sound in the background she couldn't help but sigh to herself, they had started again. This is the way she remembered both her grandfather and uncle when she still lived with them. Her uncle knows how to get on his father's nerves without much effort and her grandfather would quickly get agitated and the next thing the sound of crashing items would
“Yes, but it would keep you safe. Especially withstand that Mat- whatever his name is and his little minx running around in the country." George nonchalantly said. Even though he casually threw out the comments, deep down , he was burning with fury and a desire for revenge. If only he hadn't let Eva be and keep an eye on her when she said she didn't want to be involved with the Black family none of this would happen to her without him knowing about it. He thought that if he tried to keep in contact and keep an eye on her, his rivals could figure out that he had a granddaughter somewhere and they could attack her if they discovered her appearance. None of his rivals know that Shenley was married to a family in Miami because he had kept her marriage a total secret from his rivals and he did that to protect Shenley herself because she had no relationship with the family underworld business just like Eva had refused to partake in it as well.“I’m not scared of him, grandfather……” Eva trai
After hanging up the call with Eva, George placed his phone on the desk. His gaze accidentally fell on the picture he had held earlier of him and Eva and his dark gaze softened when he saw the carefree smile on Eva's face in the picture. In the picture, Eva was wearing a black colored princess gown, her hair was tied up into two ponytails adorned with a white ribbons. She was clinging onto his legs, mischievously grinning up at him like she had been handed her favorite teddy whilst he reluctantly patted her on the head.He wouldn't have been able to capture this moment if Shenley hadn't brought Eva to visit him and she insisted that he have a picture with Eva who was also pestering him.George had refused to acknowledge his long line of grandson and granddaughter for his own children and other family relatives who he deemed useless and spoiled. He always says: ‘So what if they share my blood? Does that make them share half of my competence, hardwork and brain? No. Everything was hand
Shortly after she graduated from college, George decided to bring her into the real family business since she had already undergone some training before when she started living with them. Unfortunately, Eva for the first time refused and made up her mind to withdraw from joining the family underworld business because it would only solidify that she was really contesting to join the next heir succession competition. Eva went back to Miami and since then she never tried to contact him since she told George that she wanted to stand on her own and not get involved with family business.He only heard that his granddaughter had become a world renowned model but had no idea that she was engaged to Mark. When most wealthy socialites her age were out partying and drinking, Eva was pressured by her father after she quitted being a model, she was buried under a mountain of paperworks . She handled almost all of the Carter corporation work and private funds, coupled with the Johnson Corporations
Eva was oblivious to the chaos she had caused in the minds of the employees because of her sudden appearance. She stepped out of the elevator when she got to the floor she was heading to.She walked directly to Grandpa Smith's office, but found it empty. Just as she stepped out of the office she met one of his secretaries who was walking back to his desk with a cup of hot coffee in his hand.“Good morning, Miss. The chairman inside the office in case you're looking for him.” The secretary greeted Eva when he saw her closing the door behind her. He had seen her a couple of times, visiting his boss and knew that she was someone close to the chairman but he didn't know what their relationship was. He only knows that the chairman treated her better than most of his children that come to visit him. “I can see that. Where is the Chairman?* Eva nodded her head and asked. “The chairman asked me to inform if you arrive that you should come and meet him in the private meeting room. He is wait
Spending 400 million is not a simple matter, even if the company was worth billions. Her eyes scanned the company executives that seemed to be on board with the numbers. A few handful of them questioned it, but none of them realized the major red flag that was being waved in their faces. Eva frown deepened on how incompetent they all were. How the hell did they get to be the company executive if they can't even tell that their company was about to get swindled. This project that was being presented now had already been reviewed by the company executives before it was brought today to be presented. So while they were going through this project couldn't they be able to tell that this was a stupid project? Why did they allow their chairman to come all the way to the company and listen to this crappy project? She searched the room for familiar consultants that were usually present and found none of them seated. This certainly made her wary.She was a part-time consultant for Lawrence ma
However, Mr. Wesson knew that Mr. Banner was purposely trying to invade his words because of their rivalry. But he felt that was petty of Mr. Banner because he thought he shouldn't have brought their personal grudges into this meeting because this was something that can affect the company afterwards. “Mr. Banner is right, although the profit might be low at first but let's take a look at the bigger picture. Eventually, we would be able to earn more profit by the time the business is known to everyone in the country.” Another executive said in support of Mr. Banner. “Besides, why are you in a haste, Mr. Wesson? It's not like the presenters have yet to conclude their presentation, so be patient and let's listen to the rest of the presentation. What if at the end of the presentation we find something useful for us, let's not be in haste.” Mr. Banner remarked, staring at Mr. Wesson with a smug smile on his face. He was confident that Mr. Wesson's opinion wouldn't be useful because he wo
“I've yet barely begun my argument, though I don't plan to waste my time on you guys. I would only point out your horrible mistake which I haven't even started. So, it would be too early for you to get provoked by seven simple words." Eva remarked in a cold voice, glaring at the man brave among the group of the presenters to speak. Her gaze was extremely fierce like a deadly snake ready to strike at any time.Everyone felt paralyzed instantly by her frightening stare. Where had they seen that type of glare before? This woman had become a completely different person from the woman who had entered the meeting room late earlier. It was as if she was about to devour them in their seats. “And you, the man with the weird purple color tie, I will be coming back to you." Eva uttered, she was talking to Mr. Banner who unconsciously gulped when he heard Eva words. Why was she coming back to him?Eva ignored the shocked and confused expression on Mr. Banner's face and turned her attention to th
