The woman smiled demurely when she heard Nathan’s question.Eva looked at her and saw that she was dressed quite classily and elegantly. Her smile was soft and sweet. Eva could not help glancing at her a few times.The woman said, “I’m here today because I heard it’s Sue’s birthday. I came to see her.”“Oh.”Nathan nodded and introduced her to Eva, “Eva, this is Rose Lawson.”Eva immediately understood their relationship.Rose was a Lawson.The Lawsons were family friends of the Langleys, and Rose had been overseas all these years.However, she had returned.Rose smiled and shook Eva’s hand. There was a warm smile on her face. “You must be Eva. I couldn’t make it back in time when I heard Nathan was getting married. What a pity.”“That’s alright. We got married in a rush.”Rose smiled when she heard this.“Time passes by really quickly. I can’t believe the young boy from when we were children is married.”Young boy?Was Nathan younger than her?Eva looked at Nathan in sl
Sue got even angrier when she saw how protective her son was of Lucy.This was horrible!She wanted to berate Lucy further, but there were still guests around. It would only make Sue lose more dignity.Moreover, Hunter cared a lot about Lucy.Sue decided to let this be as Lucy was pregnant with his child.Her face was grim, and she grunted coldly at the sight of Lucy’s pitiful face.“Just be more careful the next time you decide to pull something like this!”Sue turned and went to chat with the other guests who had not left.Lucy looked incredibly upset as she bit her lip.Sue had embarrassed her in front of all the other guests!Hunter knew Lucy was in a bad mood. He held her hand tightly in his.“Don’t feel bad about this, Lulu. Mom was just angered by what Uncle Nathan did.”“I know.” Lucy forced a smile. “I’m feeling a little tired. I’m going upstairs for some rest. You should stay.”“Don’t worry. I’m here for you.”Hunter watched her head upstairs before seeing off t
Meanwhile, outside the training room, the staff at the youth training camp informed Felix about what was happening in the youth training camp.“Mr. Hopper, Liam is stirring up trouble with Young Mr. Max. Should we stop him?” Max Lane was Mr. Langley’s son, after all.He came from a powerful family, and the staff were especially attentive toward him.The entire club’s higher management knew how unique his status was.That was why they quickly reported to Felix when they saw Liam taunting Max.Felix shook his head.“We don’t need to do anything.” Huh?The staff looked at him in astonishment.“Liam has always been arrogant, and he has been throwing his weight around because of how influential his family is. He doesn't even respect the higher management of the club. It’s time he's taught a lesson.”Felix smiled. There was a bright glint in his eye. “If Max Lane can beat him, then it'll be time to shuffle the official team members.” The staff immediately understood what to do
Max looked at him calmly. “You can choose which position you’d like for the next two rounds.”“Mid lane mage and top lane tank.” Liam clenched his teeth and said coldly, “I’ve given you a chance. Don’t complain about me bullying you.”“Sure.”Max smiled and continued picking his character.In order to make this competition fair, they used the same character for their mid lane and top lane fights.They fought using the mid lane mage first.This time, Max was the one who picked the character, and he chose Fizz, which Liam also picked.A look of glee flashed in Liam’s eyes.“Oh no!”Harvey slapped his thigh. “You shouldn’t have picked Fizz. That’s the mid lane mage that Liam plays the best with!”Liam had gotten into the official team using Fizz.Max was done for!Liam smiled when he saw Harvey getting nervous.Harvey was aware of Liam’s history.However, it was too late!There were three rounds to their solo fight. It was alright to lose the first round. All Liam needed to
Felix rejected him directly, and it upset Howard and his wife.Mrs. Gregson immediately stepped forward and said in a shrill voice, “Are you sure you can’t kick him out of the club?”“I’m sure.”Felix stared straight at them. “This isn’t someone you can kick out just like that. He's my boss’ son.”“That’s just the son of a minor club’s owner. Can he compare to my husband?”Mrs. Gregson pulled Liam to her. “Whoever bullies my son won’t get away with it!”“Sorry, I can’t kick him out of the club.” Felix did not bother to explain this further and immediately stood next to Max.Mrs. Gregson was about to lose her temper over Felix’s rude attitude when she heard the honk of a car behind her.Everyone looked in the direction of the honking.It was a black Rolls-Royce Phantom with a unique plate of four number eights. This represented who the owner of the car was.Howard could not help exclaiming.“Is that Mr. Langley’s car?” He went forward quickly to welcome him with Mrs. Greg
Max was not even six yet and his skin was fair and soft.The bruise stood out like a sore thumb.Eva parked the car and frowned as she held his hand in hers.“Mommy?”Max looked at her questioningly. She asked coolly, “What happened?”He was fine before he went to the club this morning!What happened to him at the club?Max quickly told her what happened when he saw how worried she was.“There was an older boy named Liam Gregson who was bullying everyone in the club. He was an official team member and insisted on having a solo fight with the children in the youth training camp. I challenged him to a fight and he pushed me.”Max talked about this casually, but Eva's chest tightened.This was exactly what happened at Elite Kindergarten before.However, this boy was worse than that child from the kindergarten!“What happened to the boy?”Eva frowned. “Why didn’t his parents teach him not to bully other children? Come on, take me to them.”“I’m fine, Mommy.”Max quickly stop
“That’s fine.”Smiling, Eva placed a piece of shrimp on Max’s plate. “I’ll be looking forward to it.”“That’s great.”Rose winked cheekily. “I’ll prevent you from kicking me out of annoyance by bringing lots of delicious food over.”She looked so cute when she said that and Eva could not help laughing.Rose was such a nice person.She was a highly-regarded family member of the Lawsons, but she was easy to get along with.Rose was much better than a certain somebody.A dark look flashed in her eyes.Nathan went to the study as usual after dinner to complete some work.Eva accompanied the children to do their revision. Their tutor had given them some homework.Rose helped out with their homework as well.She was always smiling and was very patient with the children. Rose was able to teach the children several different ways of solving a problem, which enlightened their little minds.It was not difficult for the children to take a strong liking to her.“Ms. Rose is really ni
The atmosphere got even more tense when Elena said that.Sue and James did not show it, but they were sneering in their hearts.'Stir this up! The bigger the trouble, the better!'It was best if she could ruin the night!Nathan looked frostily at Elena and spoke coolly, “She's better compared to certain short-sighted people.”Elena choked at his reply. It angered her. “Who are you talking about?”“Hmph.”Nathan ignored her and turned away coldly. His snub at her fueled Elena further.“Stop being so arrogant, Nathan Langley!”A crisp sound of porcelain cracking was heard, and this startled everyone.Old Mr. Langley had smashed his cup on the floorHe was looking frighteningly upset. Frowning, he swept a cold look at Elena.Her heart skipped a beat when she caught the look, and she quickly lowered her head.When Elena became silent, Old Mr. Langley berated them frostily, “Have you had enough?!”Robert also looked at them unhappily.Elena had crossed the line for causing su
