Eva had managed a flower shop for many years, and putting a bouquet together was not difficult for her.She had a beautiful bouquet of tulips and lilies in her hand in less than five minutes.Eva looked at it with satisfaction. She handed the bouquet to Yelena and quickly went off to change.She could not be wearing her dirty work clothes to see Nathan’s sister.After Eva changed and got the bouquet, Nathan had also arrived in his car.She brought the bouquet into the car and showed it to him with a smile.“What do you think?”“Not bad.”Nathan replied casually and stepped on the accelerator.Meanwhile, on the North City Second Ring Road, a black Porsche Cayenne was speeding along. Hunter and Lucy were seated inside.They were also on their way to the airport.Lucy was dressed appropriately and looked quite classy. She turned to Hunter and asked curiously.“What's your Aunt Elena’s temperament like?”“Normal.”Frowning, Hunter explained, “Aunt Elena is Grandpa’s only daug
The cold look in Nathan’s eyes shot straight at Elena.She was unperturbed and grabbed the bouquet in her hands tightly. She looked coldly at Eva with a small smile.“I’m sorry, I already have a bouquet. I don’t have space for another.”Eva nodded when she heard this.“That’s okay.”She put away her bouquet in embarrassment, looking disconcerted about it.It seemed like the third sibling of the Langleys would not be easy to get along with.Nathan noticed Eva’s embarrassment and frowned slightly. He took the bouquet from her.Huh?Eva looked at him in slight surprise. There was a cold look on his face.“These flowers look lovely. They'll look nice in a vase on our living table.”Nathan swept a glance at Elena, Lucy, and Hunter before speaking coldly.“You put this bouquet together with your own hands. It’s a waste to give them to someone else.”Elena’s face fell when she heard that. He was directing this at her!She glared frostily at Nathan. There was viciousness in her
“Now that Elena’s home, I’ll be taking Eva and the children out for a meal.”Nathan was about to leave with Eva and the children.However, Robert quickly stopped them.“It’s rare for our family to get together. Stay, Nathan.”Our family?Nathan snorted coldly. “I don’t think so.”He did not stay and left with Eva and the children.Robert wanted to continue talking him out of it, but Old Mr. Langley waved him down.“Let him leave. He won’t be happy if he stays back.”Old Mr. Langley looked coldly at Elena before walking away with a huff.The atmosphere was tense, and Elena bit her lip. She stayed quiet.Inside the Black Rolls-Royce, the children sat on each side of Eva.The car sped quickly on the road, and the children did not look very happy.They must have been affected by Elena’s attitude.Taking a deep breath, Eva wondered if she should be comforting the children.They were intelligent children who had high emotional intelligence. They were usually obedient and under
After Nathan left with Eva and the children, the family dinner at Langley Manor continued.Old Mr. Langley looked upset, which made Elena feel a little awkward.James and his family kept checking in with her. It helped soothe Elena.Sue even sat next to her intimately.“I remember bouillabaisse being your favorite dish, Elena.”Sue placed the dish in front of Elena with a gentle smile. “You should have more.”“Thank you, Sue.”Elena smiled and started eating.There was no emotional change in her eyes.Bouillabaisse was a dish she used to enjoy years ago.However, she stopped eating it since that person met with an accident.Elena had her head lowered, so Sue could not see her face. Lucy, however, caught the look on Elena’s face from the side.She did not like the dish?Lucy gave this some thought and quietly nudged Hunter’s arm.Hunter immediately got the message and pushed over a plate of Tuscan kale salad.“Lulu recommends this dish, Aunt Elena.”Smiling, he said to E
He flung the documents onto the table. The look in Mason’s eyes was sharp and cold.“The warning isn’t necessary.”Tyler had clearly gotten orders from Aunt Wanda if he was secretly helping the three top magnates of North City.If Nathan planned to take them down, the implications would be huge.“Scope Investments has just only stabilized. We need to stay low for a while. We’ll pick an appropriate time to strike them.”Sean nodded when he heard this.Mason was right.What exactly was Aunt Wanda planning?As he was contemplating this, Sean said to Mason in a low voice, “Aunt Wanda has been setting up Eva Lane since before. Now that Eva has married into the Langleys, Aunt Wanda is ganging up with the three top magnates secretly.“Is she trying to destroy the Langleys?”Sean frowned. “How much does Aunt Wanda hate her daughter?”A bewildered look flashed in Mason’s eyes after listening to Sean.He did not understand it either.Mason used to understand the reason behind Aunt W
Eva smiled when she saw how adorable the children were.She lifted the brownies above their little heads and purposely swung them gently.“Look.”“Wow, brownies!”They cheered and gave her pitiful looks. “We want to eat them, Mommy.”“Go ahead.”Eva gave the brownies to them, and they quickly ran off with the brownies with bright smiles on their faces.The brownies were sweet. As Mia gently dug up a mouthful of melted chocolate from them, she could not help asking in a whisper, “Max, do you think something good happened to Mommy?”They were still growing, and Eva was usually strict with them when it came to sweets.Yet, she had bought them brownies today.This was unusual!Max held his hand to his chin like a little adult and nodded subtly.“Uh-huh. I think so too.”After that, they turned to look at Eva in unison.“Mommy, what’s the happy occasion?”Eva burst out laughing and poked them on the foreheads.“I can’t hide anything from both of you. I completed an order tod
Nathan nodded at Felix’s suggestion.He wanted his son to weigh his son’s talents against the genius youths at the youth training camp as well.Max was eager to join immediately.Mia held his hand and smiled encouragingly at him. “You can do it, Max. All the best.”“Don’t worry!”Max rubbed her little head. “I'll definitely pass the training.”Mia looked brightly at him with bright eyes as she nodded vigorously.She was Max’s little fan.Eva shook her head in amusement when she saw the determined looks on their faces.Her children must be underestimating the youth training camp.Eva decided to let it be and let Max have a go at it.Nathan and Eva nodded, and Felix led the way with a smile.They headed for the youth training camp zone.The youth training camp had a different setup from what they saw at the lobby’s entrance. It had been designed to suit children better.Its surrounding walls and decorations were more colorful and attractive. They were designed to help the c
15 minutes later, Harvey flung the mouse hard down once more.He had lost again.This time, he and Max were playing ADC. The character he used was the character he played with the best, Night Hunter, but he still ended up losing badly.Max had slaughtered him again!Harvey had previously lost to Max 12 against zero, but he refused to give up and began to level up in advance.Once both of them had leveled up to six items each, they began another solo fight.Harvey ended up being slaughtered again.Max had lost less than 100 blood shards to kill Harvey’s Ninja Hunter.The total blood shard for the character was 1,600.Harvey had been defeated again.Clenching his teeth, he looked at Max’s smiling face. He decided on another character.“Let’s go again.”Harvey said seriously to Max, “Let’s go one last round. I don’t believe you’ll be just as good at the top lane!” “Alright.”Max was still smiling. “You can pick your character first.”Harvey was furious when he saw how conf
The news report stated clearly that Eva started with a company that sold flowers. It did not garner much attention then.Not long after that, she bought Lane Enterprise and became the CEO of the company. During that time, Lane Enterprise operated as usual with a market value of ten billion maximum.However, she soon bought over Lovette Group.Eva purchased the assets of the Lovettes, and her company grew rapidly with a breakthrough to 50 billion. Moreover, she had the support of Langley Corporation, which increased the company’s market value by three to four times.That was the beginning of her amazing capabilities.She was worth a market value of over 300 billion.The news report was exaggerated and not based on any truth, which made it even more embarrassing for Eva. Nathan pinched her face and kissed her on the cheek.“What an amazing person my woman is.”He gushed at her, “You’ll probably end up being better than me if you have enough capital.”“That’s impossible.”Eva gl
The children cheered happily when Eva agreed to it“Yay! We can finally watch our Disney movie!”They were happy about it, which made Eva feel good to see them so cheerful. Even Eugene smiled and said, “You should take the children out for some fun. It’s the first day of the company’s listing and a good day to do something fun.”Everyone agreed, and even Nathan nodded in approval. Eva smiled as they drove to Disneyland with the children.They started the day with the children’s request to watch the movie.The children loved the movie, but it was a little boring for Nathan and Eva. Fortunately, the plot was somewhat interesting, and the popcorn was delicious, which got them through it.When they walked out of the movie theater, the children were still feeling enthusiastic. Eva decided to let Nathan and Eugene take the children to have fun at the theme park.Eva was pregnant and could only be their photographer.They had a lot of fun that day, and the children had innocent yet be
Hunter was brusque with them, but Queenie was unperturbed. All she did was look back at him arrogantly.Hah!Hunter felt uncomfortable with the way she was staring at him. He was about to lose his temper when he heard her sneer, “Stop showing yourself off as a Langley for now, Hunter Langley. "I’m here to propose a lucrative partnership. I believe you’re aware that the product sold by Lane Enterprise right now is a hot commodity. Are you interested in being a part of it?”Lane Enterprise’s floral series?This perked Hunter’s interest.He knew about it, and he was very interested as well. Eva’s product was doing crazily well in the market while he, James, and Sue could only watch as she profited from it. There was nothing they could do.What could they do about this?Hunter sat opposite Queenie and Camden. He looked at them carefully before finally speaking up, “Do you have a way of getting into this business?”“Of course.”Queenie gave Camden a seductive look. Camden immedia
James sighed heavily and said in a low voice, “Your Aunt Elena has been forced out of the country by Nathan. There’s nothing we can do about it. Your grandfather has sided with Nathan, and she has no choice but to stay in Europe.”Europe.Hunter clenched his fists.Elena had been in charge of the family business in South America, and her connections were there. Sending her off to Europe meant that she had to start from scratch.Nathan was pretty ruthless to leave Hunter and Elena with nowhere to go!James was glad to see Hunter being furious about the situation. Hunter turned toward James again and asked, “What about Ruby, Dad? She can’t have been chased off as well.”It had been days since Hunter managed to contact her.There was some spark between them, and Ruby did not mind that he was divorced. She was the only woman whom Hunter felt something for in North City.James clenched his teeth at Hunter’s expectant look and nodded.“She was forced to leave the city after Sebastia
“I hope you won’t harass us anymore, Wanda Emerson.”Wanda laughed coldly at the other end of the phone when she heard Eva’s words. Eva’s words sounded more like a joke to her instead of a statement.Once she stopped laughing, she said tauntingly, “You must be imagining things. This is just the first step.”What?This was just the first step?Eva burned with fury instantly as she said with clenched teeth, “I’ve already done what you told me to. What else do you want, Wanda Emerson? I won’t give in to you!”She was not Wanda’s puppet who could be pushed around. She was a human being, a person who had a soul and was made from flesh and blood!Wanda should stop threatening her!It was as if Wanda had heard the determination in Eva’s voice. Wanda’s fingers gently fidgeted as she continued coldly, “If you don’t listen to me, I’ll lay my hands on Nathan Langley instead. It’s easy for me to poison him if I want to.”Eva lost her last strand of reason at this point.Why did Wanda hav
Eva was lying silently in bed back in the bedroom. She had not recovered, and she felt quite exhausted because she did not sleep the night before. All she wanted right now was to have a good rest.Nathan opened the door gently.“Eva.”He called out softly. Eva quickly sat up and hurried up to her to help. He did not want her to exhaust herself.“Did I disturb your rest?”“No, you didn’t.”Eva sighed gently. “My mind is occupied with something, and I couldn’t sleep. Nathan, can you chat with me for a while?”“Sure.”Nathan sat next to her, and his palm gently brushed down her hair. She felt ticklish and laughed softly.They were silent for a while before Nathan spoke up.“Didn’t you have something to say to me?”“I did.”Eva lay next to him and said in a low voice, “I thought about it last night, Nathan. Lane Enterprise has just begun developing, and our foundation isn’t stable. "If Langley Corporation is able to work with Lane Enterprise, it'll be a big help to us. I’d st
Eva did not notice Rose. All she did was clench her phone tight.She was waiting for Wanda’s answer.Why did she want Eva and Nathan to have cross-shareholding? Even if she did that, she would only own 5% of Langley Corporation’s shares. Why did Wanda want her to become a shareholder of Langley Corporation?Multiple questions appeared in her mind, and Eva felt like her head was about to explode. However, she took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down as she listened quietly.Wanda was silent for a few minutes before saying coldly.“You don’t need to know the reason.”A simple sentence was enough to destroy Eva’s hope. She clenched her teeth and forced herself to calm down as she growled at Wanda.“What did the Langleys ever do to you? You’ve been plotting all of this from the very start. Are you trying to use me against the Langleys?” Wanda sneered when she heard this. “You guessed right.”Her laugh was cold. It was like a dagger that stabbed right through Eva’s heart
Scott chatted with everyone for a while before pulling Nathan away to talk in private.“I need help, Nathan.”Scott said to him in a low voice, “What should I do when meeting the parents for the first time?”Meeting the parents?Nathan looked at him in astonishment. When he saw how serious Scott was and how he did not look like he was joking, Nathan began to advise him carefully about this. “You need to make this grand and prepare gifts that they like. Also, be polite and respectful. Any other things are fine. The most important thing to do is to leave them with a good impression.”“Alright.”Scott made a note of everything Nathan said. Nathan smiled teasingly when he saw how seriously Scott was taking this. “Why are you so anxious about this?”“Of course, I am. She’s perfect in every way. I don’t want to lose her.”Scott’s eyes were filled with adoration and happiness when he replied this. Nathan felt happy for Scott when he saw Scott looking this way.As long as Scott was
Nathan was being honest.After the trial ended and Jadora was out of the picture, the floral series became a hot commodity in the market. Client demand had soared several times over.“The cosmetics market yields a high profit, and Langley Corporation has always wanted a piece of the pie. But Lane Enterprise got into it first. If you’re agreeable, I would love it if our companies could work on it together.”Moreover, they were husband and wife.Nathan would not be able to trust another business partner completely, but it was different with Eva.When Eva saw the adoring look in his eyes, her decision to get him to invest began to waver.Did she really want to do what Wanda said?Even though she had no idea what Wanda wanted, she was sure that Wanda wanted to attack Langley Corporation. She would be relentless about it.Getting Eva to obtain shares from Langley Corporation might be the first step in Wanda’s plan to destroy Nathan.Eva could not allow this!She clenched her teeth
