Nathan was still hungover the next morning when Finn woke him up. He pinched between his eyes. There was an angry look on his face at being woken up. Finn cautiously handed him some pills to cure his hangover. “Take these, Mr. Langley. They'll help with your headache.” Nathan took them from him and swallowed them. He gulped down some water before saying hoarsely, “Talk.” Finn said respectfully, “There’s news from Gavin. They've found Tyler Sullivan.” Nathan’s eyes narrowed. His drowsiness disappeared, and only a cold, sharp look was left in his eyes. “Call Gavin and get some men together. We need to capture Tyler Sullivan right now!” “Yes, Mr. Langley.” Finn quickly went off to make the call. Gavin returned their call an hour later to report, “We already have Tyler Sullivan and his men surrounded, but we’ve underestimated their capabilities. We’re in a tense situation right now.” Nathan’s face fell when he heard this. His tone was frosty as he g
It was ten in the morning when Nathan returned to his office for a meeting. He was transferring a few able subordinates in his company to manage the assets he had just obtained from the Pileggis. There was a slight commotion within the internal departments of his company because of this. To outsiders, Nathan had always kept a low profile and did not look like he was involved with managing the company. In reality, only a handful of important members from the higher management team knew how capable he was at steering his company. The current market was ever-changing, and Nathan was sharp and precise enough to grasp any profitable opportunity. He also had a good eye when it came to recognizing talents. Nathan could always find the best in the most underrated person there was. The talent screening mechanism Nathan utilized was the most precise in the business world. That was why rarely any higher management personnel would resign from his company. After the
Finn shook his head. “We couldn’t find anything past that. Everything was done quietly, but one thing is for sure. It isn’t anything good.” There was a frosty look on Nathan’s face. “Call Gavin and ask him how things are progressing.” Finn nodded as he called Gavin again. Gavin sounded quite exasperated. “He’s really stubborn. He refuses to say anything no matter how much we torture him. His men are the ones who can’t stay quiet any longer. They’ve been creating trouble in my garage... "Mr. Langley, do you want me to continue interrogating him? I’m starting to feel the stress over here.” Nathan looked very upset. Even Finn could clearly sense the fury emanating from Nathan. However, Nathan soon held back his anger and said calmly, “Forget about it. Let him go but send some men to continue watching Tyler Sullivan. The moment you sense something isn’t right, report to me immediately.” “Will do.” Gavin affirmed this and hung up. Nathan put down his ph
Eva could still feel the warmth from his palm, but she ignored it on purpose as she turned to pick a dress. She had good taste and soon picked out a simple, champagne-colored evening dress. The price was considered one of the cheapest in the boutique. It was priced at 38,000. However, it was wildly expensive for Eva, and her heart ached for the money spent on this. Nathan looked pleased with her choice, and he suggested, “How about trying it on?” Nodding, Eva went into the dressing room. After about ten minutes, she came out dressed in her brand-new dress. Nathan was reading a magazine on the sofa, and he looked up when he heard her coming out. He was stunned by what he saw! The petite woman’s long hair fell over her shoulders. The tight, curvy gown accentuated her body shape, and the dress reached all the way down to her ankles. The embroidered skirt gave the dress volume, and her slender figure was perfectly showcased with every curve outlined promi
Nathan and Eva noticed what was happening. He looked calm about it, but Eva was feeling increasingly uncomfortable. It was because many eyes were now on her... “I thought Mr. Langley had always steered clear of women. Why does he have a partner by his side tonight?” “Which family does she belong to? She looks pretty! She must come from an influential family if she's here with Mr. Langley.” “Wow, Mr. Langley is really handsome. He’s more handsome than the rumors describe him to be. I’m so envious of the woman here with him!” “There’s no point in envying her. Just look at how intimate they are, holding each other like that...” While this went on, many envious and jealous looks fell on Eva. It was the first time Eva was aware of how popular Nathan was. She could not help criticizing him silently about what a nuisance he was. However, Nathan paid no attention to those looks of admiration. He greeted the organizer in return, “We meet again, Mr. Lester.”
Queenie was dressed lavishly for the party.She was a good-looking woman with a nice body. The beautiful dress she was wearing made her look elegant.Her arms were tightly wrapped around Mason’s, and her body was almost pressing against his.They looked intimate and sweet together.Eva was stunned to see this.She did not expect Mason to be here.What was even more astounding about this was that he would show up with Queenie in tow.Mason’s gaze turned toward them.There was a cold look in his eyes when he saw Nathan and Eva standing together.However, it was not as cold as what his heart was feeling.An angry smile appeared on his lips…Was this what Eva meant by nothing would change?Eva had no idea what was going through Mason’s mind.She could not accept what she was seeing.Why did Mason and Queenie look like they were a couple?It had only been less than two days!Everything seemed to be fine before.Why had he chosen to be with Queenie, her enemy?Mason walked
There was an uproar when he announced this.“Oh my god! Did I hear it right? Did he really just say 20 million?”“Hah! 20 million is nothing to Langley Corporation. Mr. Langley is so freaking cool.” “Ah! I wish I could marry him. He’s so rich and powerful, he’s completely my type…”Eva stared at Nathan in shock.Nathan looked quite at ease. He made it seem like he had just donated 2,000 instead of 20 million.The look in Mason’s eyes dimmed when he saw how Eva was staring at Nathan. He got upset about it and gave Queenie a look.Queenie understood the look immediately. She smiled and said, “30 million!”Nathan turned slowly to look over at them. His eyes met Mason’s mid-air.There was a cold look in Mason’s eyes, but all Nathan did was smile at him.The host on the stage was pretty smart and knew exactly how to make the best of this situation. He ran toward Nathan and placed his microphone in front of Nathan. “Mr. Langley, Mr. Young has offered to donate 30 million. We’re wo
Nathan and Mason nodded and accepted the invite.However, Eva was not in the mood.All she wanted was to leave the party.She let go of Nathan’s arm and said in a voice small enough for only both of them, “You should go ahead. I’d like to go home.”Nathan held her arm in response and whispered into her ear, “Why? You can’t take it just because Mason Young got himself another girlfriend?”Eva was taken aback. She looked at him angrily. “What do you mean by that?”She bit her lip and retorted, “I just never thought that Mason would actually get together with my rubbish of a stepsister!”“Hah!”Nathan burst out with a laugh. “Who are you lying to, Eva Lane?”His dark eyes stared straight at her. He looked like he could see through her mind.Nathan’s stare made Eva feel self-conscious. She immediately looked away.He clenched his teeth. Nathan really wanted to pull off that calm and collected disguise of hers.However, he stopped himself. All he did was glare coldly at Mason.
