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
It was 7:30 am on a weekend morning and Thriving Dragon Bay was already bustling with life.Eva helped Mia wash up and put her in a little dress. Nathan and Max were already seated at the table and waiting for breakfast. Mrs. Wilson had already served breakfast by the time Eva and Mia got downstairs.The fragrant smell of butter on toast woke up the still drowsy Mia.“Wow! Butter on toast!”She lunged at her breakfast and chomped on the toast. Max quickly pushed over a glass of milk at her when he saw her gobble down her breakfast.“Thank you, Max.”Mia smiled while thanking him, and she continued enjoying her food.Eva felt slight relief to see how lively her children were.Today was the day Max was taking part in the qualifying rounds for the national tournament.He had been doing well for the past half a month at UN Club. Felix and Nathan were both willing for him to try out at the national tournament. There was a solo tournament before the league tournament. Anyone who w
“He’s a really amazing little gamer!”“Wow! It’s the first time I’ve seen Riven beat the Hand of Noxus like this!”“Whoever says that Riven can never defeat the Hand of Noxus has to see this. Didn’t Riven just teach a good lesson to the Hand of Noxus?”The audience went wild, and even those watching the live stream went crazy.Max was incredible!His gameplay and total dominion over the game were something most gamers could not do. They were bowled over by him.Felix, Nathan, and everyone else with them were relieved.“Your son is amazing, Mr. Langley. There's nothing to complain about with the way he plays the game. Looks like we'll need to rely on Max for UN Club to get into the national finals.”Nathan smiled at Felix’s words.His son was the best.Eva shook her head and said humbly, “You shouldn’t keep praising him like this, Mr. Hopper. Max is still a child. He doesn’t have enough experience playing in a national tournament. He still needs to be able to work well with th
As the inhibitor was destroyed, the victory logo appeared in the tournament venue.UN Club had won!They had managed to counter-attack when their inhibitor was left with less than a half bar of health. They destroyed the Sparks Club inhibitor, and Sparks Club was now eliminated from the qualifying rounds.This was all because of Max!The audience and even the players from both teams were focused on Max right now.He was incredible!Felix was finally able to relax. He watched as everyone surrounded Max and mumbled, “Controlling the opponent’s psyche, taking control of the rhythm of the game, and displaying the ability to play well. Max is a genius.”He was born to be in esports.The host appeared on stage. Sparks Club was led off the stage, and it was time to promote UN Club. A press conference was held, and they were being interviewed live.This would help with the club’s popularity.However, when the host got to Enzo and his teammates, Enzo refused to move.“Please leave th
The audience slowly left the tournament venue, but there were still many people staring at Max with wild admiration.This little boy was incredible! What a rare talent!Max felt a little uncomfortable, and he quickly pulled Mia along to follow Nathan and Eva closely.Smiling, Eva rubbed his head when she saw how shy he was.“What’s wrong? Are you feeling shy?He was not this way at all during the tournament.“That was because I was focused on the game. I didn’t think so much when I was playing.”Max whispered, “Let’s leave right now, Mommy. So many people are watching me.”Eva rubbed his head again.He had been fully focused on playing his champion and did not pay attention to his surroundings. It was only normal for him to be shy without the distraction of the game.However, he really was talented at playing.Eva was very proud of him.Even though she had no idea how to play the game, she could still tell how good Max was at it.They drove to a restaurant called Cappuccin
