“Of course not.”A devilish smile appeared on Nathan’s lips. He suddenly leaned in close to her and whispered in her ear, “You can take the children with you, but you’re restricted to only North City. Don’t even think about going to another city, understand?”Eva got tense.How did this man know that she was thinking of leaving with her children?There was a look of fluster in her eyes, but she quickly calmed herself down to hide her emotions. Anger crossed her face. “Stop trying to control me, Nathan Langley. You don’t have the right.”With that, she took the children with her without turning back for a second look.The room was left with only Nathan and Finn.It was only then that Finn remembered what happened with Nicole. “Mr. Langley, Miss Pileggi has gotten herself into big trouble. If the paparazzi publish those pictures, Miss Pileggi’s entertainment career will be completely over. Should we…”A cold look crossed Nathan’s face. He sneered. “She should bear the responsibil
Mason’s men were defeated after that short altercation.It was not long when the bodyguard from before returned to report, “It’s been taken care of, Mr. Miller.”Finn nodded and noticed the scratches on him. “Take care of your wounds. You can get more men over here later.”The bodyguard left with a nod.…It was nighttime at Thriving Dragon Bay, and the main villa was brightly lit.Nathan was in his huge study. He was wearing a robe and had a glass of red wine in his hand while standing in front of the French window. He was staring far out into the distance.He was seductively handsome and had a tall, elegant figure. However, his eyes were shrouded in darkness as he was deep in thought…Nathan had a lot of questions about Mia and Max being his children.He was sure he did not enter the wrong room five years ago that night.Nathan was confident that someone had changed the room number.That was the cause of his eventual night with Eva.He had no idea who was the mastermind a
Nathan headed straight to a café in the city center to meet up with Finn after leaving Thriving Dragon Bay.Finn immediately gave Nathan an update upon meeting him. “The media outlet that contacted me is pretty well-known in the country. They’re called ‘Current Affairs’. Their people should arrive soon.”Nathan headed for the second floor and instructed, “You’ll be speaking to them later.”“Alright.”Finn nodded in agreement. He did not forget to clarify, “How do you plan to handle this, Mr. Langley? Do you want this story to disappear?”An amused look crossed Nathan’s face. “Why should we make it disappear? Tell them to write the story however they see fit. If there are any untruths in their story, they can expect their company to shut down.”Finn was astonished.Was his boss… planning to go against the Pileggis?It looked like Nicole was done for!Nathan very quickly found a seat upstairs while Finn waited downstairs with the bodyguards.About ten minutes later, a male papa
Different headlines exploded all over the scene like grenades. Each explosion was bigger than the next.Nicole had many fans.However, her previous antic of thrashing the flower shop had smeared her character greatly. The only fans left supporting her were die-hard fans.However, even they were astounded by the news.[Is this true? My Nicole is such a kind and pure person. How could she do something like that?][Us fans know what Nicole is really like. There must be some mistake here.][Ptui! It’s not the first time we’ve seen dirt on Nicole! You lapdogs should stop being deceived by her pure and innocent persona.][I remember a similar news being reported about her online. I think it’s about Nicole Pileggi thrashing a flower shop.][That’s right. I heard that the owner of the flower shop is a good person. She's also a single mother. I feel so sorry for her! How can Nicole Pileggi do something like that?!]Nicole’s die-hard fans began an intense online war with some anti-fans.
Nathan ignored her words. He turned his gaze slowly toward Robert and said, “I think the most important thing right now is to discuss breaking off the engagement.”Robert was furious to hear that. He slammed the table and stood up. “How dare you?! Nicole has been your fiancée for five years. Do you know how hard it's been for her to tolerate gossip about not being given a legitimate status in our family? "Now that something has happened to her, you’re choosing to do nothing and even thinking about breaking off the engagement?”Nathan said nothing. He swept a nonchalant glance at Rebecca. “I need to talk to my father alone.”Rebecca had wanted to say something, but she kept her mouth shut when she heard Nathan’s request. “Alright. Go ahead. I’ll go cut some fruits for you.”She turned and walked toward the kitchen.The living room was now left with Nathan and Robert.Nathan looked straight into Robert’s eyes without flinching. He was calm and composed.He said quietly and slowl
Nicole was being heavily criticized for this.The worst thing about it all was that after a series of such situations, numerous fans began to openly blast Nicole.[I must have been blind to have liked such a person for so many years. I’ll be an anti-fan from now and forever!][Get out of the entertainment industry, Pileggi slut!][What’s wrong with Langley Corporation? Aren’t they afraid of their reputation getting destroyed for letting such a woman into their family?]Under such pressure, Nicole’s company finally stopped speaking up for her. Instead, they declared that they would not stand by if Nicole had done anything illegal and would terminate her contract if she was found guilty. They also took the opportunity to remind everyone to abide by the law and not drive recklessly on the road.Eva was astonished to read all of this.It had never occurred to her that there would come a day when Nicole would be hated by everyone.However, Eva felt this had nothing to do with her
However, Nathan did not reveal that. He cared more about the person responsible for all of this.“Why would your mother do something like that? What's her name? Is she associated with the Langleys in any way?”There were not many people in this world who were capable of setting him up.According to Eva Lane, she was set up by her mother.Could he interpret the situation by assuming that he was considered part of the setup?Nathan’s eyes got darker at this thought.Eva did not hide anything from him. “Her name is Wanda Emerson. She abandoned me when I was very young. I don’t even know what she looks like, and I know nothing about her.”He could tell that Eva was resentful when she spoke about this.Nathan was silent, but he frowned deeply.He had no impression of anyone named Wanda Emerson.When Eva saw him staying silent, she took the opportunity to try to gain his sympathy. “I’ve said whatever that needs to be said, Nathan Langley. I hope you can pretend none of this ever ha
Mason panicked when he saw Eva this way. “What’s wrong, Eva? Stop crying. Tell me what’s wrong.”“Mason…”Eva felt terrible. She told him what happened today after wiping her tears away.It included Tyler coming to the house and revealing to her what happened five years ago.Mason was upset when he heard this. “I’m sorry, Eva. My phone ended up in Tyler Sullivan’s hands. I couldn’t pick up your calls because of that.”“I know.”Eva did not blame Mason for it. All she wanted was for someone to listen to her.To some women, it was an honor to be associated with the Langleys.However, it was a nightmare for Eva.Eva had faced numerous disdained looks and insults five years ago before being where she was today.She was just a university student back then and had no idea she was pregnant. All she knew was that she experienced discomfort in her stomach as she kept throwing up after eating.It did not occur to Eva that she was pregnant.Three months later, she finally realized som
