Eugene quickly found the Victorian-era moon flask.“Oh, my precious. I can finally use you.”He mumbled as he gently wiped the dust off the flask. He placed it on the table carefully.Eugene was planning to call Eva later and tell her the good news.With this investment, his company now had enough capital to continue developing the product and push it out into the market. This product would guarantee a huge return, and Eugene could not help chuckling foolishly at the moon flask.Queenie heard him chuckling. She quietly called Pamela over to see what Eugene was doing.Her father must be in contact with Eva again!…Meanwhile, Nathan had just stepped into the house when Eva came over to him. She stared at his face for quite a while and was relieved to see that he was not angry.“How did things go today?”“It ended well.”Eva was relieved to hear his familiar voice.After that, he told Eva what had happened in the meeting room.When she heard that part about him defending the
Why was Eugene suddenly giving Eva the Victorian-era moon flask?What did that slut do to deserve it?Pamela was more mature due to experience and did not lose her temper, but it was different with Queenie. She immediately went forward and grabbed the moon flask.“I don’t agree to this, Dad!”She said shrilly to Eugene, “Eva might not like this even if you give it to her. It'd just be a waste of your effort. Why not give it to me since she won’t appreciate your gesture?”Queenie had been eyeing this moon flask for a long time!Eugene had always said that it was of no use to her. All she could do with it was to place it in her bedroom after she got married. This was worth hundreds of thousands, and Eugene could not bear to part with it.However, he was giving it to that slut, Eva, with just a simple word.Was it all because that slut was now Nathan Langley’s wife?“Do you really think she’ll acknowledge you just because you keep fawning over her? Don’t forget how she treated yo
Queenie anxiously handed over her blood sample to the ob-gyn at Central Hospital.She relaxed only after the doctor took her blood sample away.“Do you need to be so anxious?”Flora pouted next to her. “You can just get a urine test for this. Why would you need to do an HCG blood test? Why do you need such a confirmation? Is Mason hoping you’d get pregnant?”“He must be. There are plenty of CEOs who love getting married after they get the woman pregnant. They want an heir first before marrying the woman.”Tonya patted Queenie teasingly on the shoulder. “Our Queenie is going to be a wife from an influential family. Don’t forget to take care of us once you’re married, Queenie.” They began talking about this excitedly, but Queenie could not take in a word.She broke out in a cold sweat while waiting for the doctor’s result.15 minutes later, her blood results came out. Queenie was pregnant.When she saw the words in her medical report, she pressed her hand against her chest and
Everyone felt cold in their seats as Queenie gently caressed her tummy.After that, she looked up at Mason with a soft expression on her face.“Are you happy, Mason? I’m having your baby.”“That’s impossible.”Mason stared back at her. The look in his eyes was frighteningly dark. “What are you talking about?”“It’s true!”Queenie was upset as she exclaimed this. She took out a medical report from her bag and gave it to him. “I’m really pregnant. I even went to the hospital to confirm it. Look, here’s the report.When she gave Mason the report, he snatched it over with widened eyes.It was a report for a blood test.He quickly scanned the line for the HCG blood test and saw the numbers and the doctor’s result. Mason felt dizzy.Queenie was really pregnant!After quickly showing her pregnancy test to Mason, Queenie looked happy. “I even did a urine test because I was worried it might not be accurate, Mason. Look, two red lines.”The blood test and urine test proved only one t
Queenie did not even think twice as she hurried home to Lane Residence.Pamela was trimming the plants in the garden when Queenie approached her in a panic. “Mom, I’m pregnant with Mason’s baby, but he doesn’t want it.”What?The scissors in Pamela’s hand fell. She did not pick them up and just stared straight at Queenie.“What happened?”Queenie quickly told her what had happened.Pamela was stunned to learn about Mason’s attitude about this.What did he mean by this? Was he trying to shirk responsibility?He should not do this. Pamela had to see Eugene about this!Pamela pulled herself together and pulled Queenie into the study with her. Eugene was busy going through his documents when she quickly told him about what happened.“You have to do something about this, Eugene.”She held onto Queenie pitifully. “Queenie’s your daughter too. Now that she’s pregnant, we have to get Mr. Young to decide on their wedding date.”“You’re right.”Eugene laughed happily. “Good girl. Yo
Nathan stood up as well when he saw Eva getting up to leave.Eugene got flustered and quickly tried to convince them to stay.“You don’t need to leave so early. We’ve already prepared lunch for you. I’ve even gotten the kitchen to prepare Evie’s favorite ribs.”Ribs?Eva smiled. “It’s fine. I need to go home and work on my flowers, and Nathan has to get back to work. You should go ahead and eat. You’re a family, after all. There's no need to be so formal with each other.”She sounded quite cheerful as she emphasized the word ‘family’. Mason’s expression fell.Was she saying that to him on purpose?Before he could think of what to reply to her, Eva and Nathan left.Eugene did not insist on them staying and got up to walk them out.Queenie, Pamela, and Mason were left in the living room. They watched as Eva and Nathan left. There was a cold but gleeful look in Queenie’s eye.That slut, Eva, deserved this for two-timing others.Eva had this coming!…Nathan and Eva were seate
Eva finally turned to look at Tyler unhappily after Raven accepted the flowers from him.“Pay up.”“Alright. Here’s the payment.”Tyler smiled and took his phone out. “I’ll transfer the money to you. How much is this bouquet?”“50,000.”Eva purposely charged him higher, thinking that it would force him to back off. However, he continued smiling without batting an eye as he transferred the money to her.He even knew her personal account number.Eva felt a little defeated as she turned to walk away.Tyler called out to her.“Miss Lane, Aunt Wanda wants you to take over the management of Lane Enterprise.”What?Eva turned to look at him brusquely. There was a sneer on her face. “Is there something wrong with her? Why would I want to take over Lane Enterprise?”“I have no idea.”Tyler shrugged. “I’m just here to pass the message. All you need to do is follow orders. Otherwise, I have no idea what will happen next.”Eva turned away in disdain.That woman wanted to control eve
Eva was working on the freshly bloomed Lady Slipper Orchids in Cloudy Hills Estate.Her flowers had been growing well, and her orders were beginning to pile up. She took every order seriously, no matter how big or small.Eva’s reputation had also begun to grow.She had gradually forgotten about the message Wanda had passed to her via Tyler.Eva had no interest in taking over Lane Enterprise.All she wanted was to live a simple, happy life and watch her children grow up while expanding her flower business. This was enough to make her happy.However, Eva had no idea that her peaceful life was about to be disrupted.Even though Eva did nothing, it did not mean that the other party would stay quiet as well.In the CEO’s office of Lane Enterprise, Eugene was going through some documents and discussing the next step of their plan with his assistant and secretary.“Mr. Lane, I think our project has reached a mature stage. Langley Corporation’s request for the modification isn’t a big
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
