Nathan’s face turned dark at the thought of the reason why the Lovettes were doing this.He immediately called Eugene.Eugene picked up very quickly, and Nathan could hear Eugene speaking carefully from the other end of the call.“Is there anything you need, Mr. Langley?”Did something go wrong with the project?Eugene had been facing pressure since he partnered up with Nathan for this project.Nathan had high expectations for this project, and even though he had invested a huge amount in it, he was also very demanding about the quality. It was causing a lot of headaches for Eugene and his developers.However, it was also because of this that the product had much better quality than before.When Nathan called him again, Eugene immediately thought that something was wrong with the product again.“I heard that you’re working with Lovette Group on a project.”Nathan’s cold voice made Eugene jump. “Is that true?”“Yes, it is. I’ve just signed the contract for it.”Eugene was
The children were busy with their own activities for the next two days. Mia was busy learning to dance while Max was focused on highly pressured esports training.Eva began getting busy with her flowers as well.Her flower business has been doing well recently. Her Arabian Jasmines and Grand Duke of Tuscany Jasmines had bloomed one after the other. Even the Lady Slipper Orchids that had been planted later had begun to bloom.She also had a good harvest of crab cactuses.As her flower orders began to grow, Eva immediately ordered two huge batches of flowers to Cloudy Hills Estate and began nurturing them.She decided to stay at Cloudy Hills Estate. She would only return to Thriving Dragon Bay once every two days.That night, Nathan returned with the children to Thriving Dragon Bay, only to be welcomed by an empty living room. He frowned.It had been two days since he last saw Eva.They had never spent any alone time together since getting married.That was not acceptable!Nath
Nathan left for the office very early in the morning after waking and washing up.He was busy at work, and Eva did not want to give him any trouble. Thus, she drove the children out.She dropped Mia off at school and took Max to the club.When Max got out of the car, she watched him go inside before stepping on the accelerator and heading off to Lane Residence.She wanted to make a trip back to the Lanes.Eva could not let it go after Nathan shared with her what happened!When she arrived at Lane Residence, Queenie and Pamela had just gotten up for breakfast. Eugene had already woken up earlier to play with his pet birds. He was planning to feed them before leaving for the office.He was slightly taken aback to see Eva’s car, but he quickly came up to her with a smile.“Evie, what are you doing here so early in the morning?”“I’m here about your new joint venture.”Eva was frowning as she looked at Eugene coldly. “I’d like to ask if you're really working on a new project with
The look on Queenie’s face turned dark after she watched Mason get into the house.She had heard everything.If Mason did not want to talk about it, she would not ask.Queenie took a deep breath and smiled brightly. She followed behind Mason and said sweetly, “Mason, my mom and dad are waiting for us.”“Alright.”Mason replied to her coldly, “What was Eva doing here so early in the morning?”“She came here to talk Dad into terminating a contract.”Queenie explained to him what had happened, and a look of disgust flashed in her eyes. “She just has to create trouble for us when the family is doing well.”Mason frowned when he heard that. He did not like her words but said nothing.He believed Eva was not someone like that.…Back in Cloudy Hills Estate, Eva was working on her flowers.It was the season to propagate the crab cactuses, and she carefully handled the tender shoots. However, the faces of the Lanes appeared in front of her, and she went into a daze.What was the p
Eva really did not want to drink!She did not even know who this socialite was. Why should she do what the socialite wanted?Rose noticed the cold look on Eva’s face and even looked a little angry. She quickly went to stop the socialite.“Why are you doing this, Yvonne? Eva doesn’t drink. Don’t force her to do that. I’ll drink on her behalf. I haven’t had enough, anyway.”Eva looked gratefully at Rose.She was thankful for someone helping her out of this.Yvonne pouted.Everyone was just here to have fun. Drinking at a place like this was normal. Even though she had heard that Eva was already a mother of two, she could still have a drink or two, right? What was she doing on her high horse?However, she did not dare say that out loud.Eva was Nathan Langley’s wife, after all.Crossing Eva Lane like this meant crossing Nathan Langley.“Alright, Eva. You can drink on her behalf.”Yvonne poured a glass of red wine for Rose. Rose smiled and was about to drink the wine when a han
The middle-aged man was clearly drunk, but he was still stronger than Eva. He refused to release his grip on Eva, and she could not escape from him.“Let go!”Eva shouted with all her might. She kept struggling in an attempt to escape him.Her car was not far away. If she could get to her car, this man would probably be unable to touch her.While Eva was planning what to do, she stepped hard on the man’s feet with her high heels.“Ow!”He screamed out painfully. The middle-aged man’s eyes were red when he stared at her, and his grip on her got stronger.“Don’t get difficult with me, you little bitch. How dare you step on me? I’m going to have fun with you tonight!”He grabbed her hard. He had one hand on Eva’s arm, and he used the other to her by her hair. He dragged her toward his car.Eva was in pain and started tearing up.It hurt!She tried to protect her head while attempting to beat the man with her other hand. She kept struggling and screaming for help.“Help!”Unfo
What was Nathan doing at Cloudy Hills Estate?Mason felt annoyed, but he had already arrived, and there was no reason to drive off, so he parked his car.Eva looked out the window in a daze and suddenly cheered up.“I’m home!"She got out of the car and suddenly went limp as she almost fell to the ground. Nathan quickly came forward to hold her. He immediately caught a whiff of alcohol reeking from her.Eva had gone out drinking?Nathan looked at Mason, who was getting out of the driver’s seat.Both men stared down at each other in the dark. One could almost hear thunder rumble behind them.Eva looked at both of them with a muddled look on her face. The next second, she gave a silly smile.These men were interesting.Her body went limp, and she fell onto Nathan. He frowned at her and asked while slowly helping her into the estate.“Why did you drink so much?”She was reeking with the smell of alcohol. Did someone force her to drink?Nathan’s face looked cold.He had drive
Eva agreed, and Nathan helped her up.However, Eva began stumbling after a couple of steps.The effect of her drink was strong, especially because she could not hold her liquor. It was difficult for her to sober up, and Eva had already done very well by hanging on until now.Sighing, Nathan carried her in his arms again.“Be good.”Nathan whispered in her ear. “You can sleep now. I’ll take you home.”“Okay.”Eva gently tugged on his shirt. She was like an adorable furball that was curled up softly in his arms. Eva leaned her head against his chest and closed her eyes.She felt safe when she was with him.Nathan burst out laughing when he heard her stable breathing when he put her down in the back seat of his car.What a docile woman.All it took was a glass of mixed liquor to turn her into this. He decided to never allow her to go out drinking on her own in the future.It was close to nine by the time he drove back to Thriving Dragon Bay. The nanny had already tucked the ch
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
