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
Nathan sneered after hanging up.It was done.When he saw Nathan in a good mood, Finn smiled as well and spoke up, “Rachel Lovette will be so mad when she finds out about this.”Lovette Group had put in massive effort just to get into the European market.However, her efforts went down the drain with only one phone call from Nathan.Rachel would never live this down.Nathan smiled nonchalantly.It would be better if she knew about this. The more furious she was, the better.What would make this situation even better was if she went to that woman for help. It would give Nathan a chance to catch her!“Continue watching her, Finn. Inform me the moment they do anything.”“Yes, Mr. Langley!” Finn nodded. “Don’t worry about it.”He had gone through so much with Nathan and had always been reliable. Nathan nodded.That was when someone gently knocked on the door of the study.Mia stood at the door holding a small plate with four muffins arranged into a flower shape.Nathan imme
The next day was Monday, and there was the weekly morning meeting at Langley Corporation.Nathan got up early and left for the office.The Langleys were present at the meeting that morning.Even Hunter and Elena were there.The meeting room was filled with people. Hunter led Elena to where James was sitting with a big smile on his face.“I’ll get you some tea, Aunt Elena.”He gave Elena the best green tea offered in the meeting room.The scent of tea lingered in the air, and there was a smile on Elena’s face.“Hunter, it’s probably time I gave you some responsibilities too.”When he heard this, Hunter quickly waved with his hands, meaning to decline.“Langley Corporation’s overseas branch is imperative to the company. I’m still young and still not prepared for such a heavy responsibility.”There was admiration in Hunter’s eyes. “I feel better with you watching over it, Aunt Elena.” This child.Elena did not say more. All she did was glance quietly at Nathan.She would no
Elena had always been a decisive person.She brought the project documents and went straight to Robert’s office.Her father was the chairman of Langley Corporation!Elena walked into the office with a grim look on her face. She placed the documents on this table.“Dad, I need you to sign this.”“Let me have a look.”Robert took the documents and read them, but he put them back with a frown.“Just let Nathan sign them. Why would you bring them to me?”These documents did not require his signature.Besides, Nathan had been the one taking care of everything in Langley Corporation for the past few years.It had been a long time since Robert got involved with minor matters like this.Elena looked even more upset at being rejected by Robert.“He refused to sign them.”“Why?”“It’s because this project requires us to work with the Silvas.”Elena told Robert angrily about what her assistant had found out.“Dad, the three top magnates are wary of us because of what Langley Corpo
