Lucy had been busy thinking about how to get rid of the baby inside Queenie.She had come up with many cruel plans recently and kept thinking about them at night while in bed. Her entire life was almost occupied by this.Despite coming up with a good plan, Lucy did not have the opportunity to act on it.That was because she could not get anywhere near Queenie. They were never friends, and now, they were even considered enemies. It was not a good sight for a current girlfriend and a former girlfriend to be meeting each other.She had no way of going through with the plan!That was why Lucy decided to approach Eva.“Eva, Mason has always treated you well. I’m sure you wouldn’t want to see him marry Queenie Lane. The only way to stop this is if we both work together, do you understand?”Lucy took a deep breath and tried to patiently talk Eva into this. “It'll be too late for you once he marries Queenie Lane!”This woman was crazy!Eva looked at her in astonishment and later shook
Mason walked out of Lane Residence a little later.He could not spend too much time here as he was very busy at the office. He had to return to Scope Investments to continue working.Mason massaged between his eyes gently after getting into the back seat of his car.“Sean.”“Yes, Mr. Young.”“Get a nutritionist for Lane Residence to take care of Queenie’s pregnancy.”Sean was taken aback to hear that, but he answered, “Yes, Mr. Young. Don’t worry about this.”Mason nodded and shut his eyes to rest.He trusted Sean to handle things.Mason continued working once he returned to Scope Investments.…At Lane Residence, Queenie was sitting next to the table while munching on an apple.“Mom, Mason is really good to me.”“Of course. When have I ever been wrong?”Pamela put a plate of ribs in front of her and gave her a piece with a smile. “Have a taste. Isn’t this your favorite?”The ribs smelled good, and they were tempting as Queenie’s stomach growled hungrily for them. She go
Eva looked into Max’s blinking eyes. She knew exactly what he wanted and knocked on his head gently.“You can’t game yet even though your hand is healed. Rest for another two days and take things slow.”Even though his right hand was healed, the stress of gaming on his right hand was too great. She could not bear to see Max play right after he got well.He had to rest for a few days before deciding anything. His hand was recuperating slowly, and it was not wise to give his right hand so much burden so soon.Max was disappointed to know that he was still not allowed to play.“Can I watch the finals tomorrow, Mommy?”The finals were the next day, and it was also the day when the championship for the team tournament and the individual all-star tournament would be decided. Russ had taken Max’s place, and UN Club was still in the running.Max wanted to watch the game very much.Eva hesitated.This little guy had been cooped up for a long time, but she was worried something might ha
Next was the team tournament, and it was obvious that Russ could not handle it.If he continued to perform in such a manner, he would just be creating an opportunity for the opponent. He was the mid-laner and the soul of the entire team.How could they win the tournament if their soul was unstable?At this point, Felix patted his shoulder gently.“Don’t be afraid, Russ. It’s the first time everyone is competing in this tournament. Just pretend that no one is watching you and treat this as a normal training session at the training camp. You don’t need to feel so stressed about this.”“That’s right. What’s done is done. There are only two results in a tournament. Either you win or you lose. Don’t be afraid.”Carlton patted his shoulder. “If you’re worried, just farm under the turret. That'll make it difficult for the opponent to kill you. Once me and the marksman level up, we’ll head to the mid lane.”If things got bad, there was still the jungler!However, Russ kept shaking his
Everyone was busy being concerned over the team tournament, but Eva went forward and gently held Max’s hand.She carefully checked his hand and looked at him worriedly.“Does it hurt?”“It doesn’t. Don’t worry, Mommy.”Max smiled and said, “If it hurts, I’ll back out of the tournament immediately. I won’t allow my hand to get injured.”Eva poked his forehead in exasperation when she heard him say that.This little rascal!He would never let her find out about it even if his hand really hurt because he was afraid she would stop him from taking part in the tournament. He was just comforting her. Did he really think she was not aware of that?Hmph.Max stuck out his tongue in embarrassment when he realized Eva had seen through him.After that, they continued with the tournament.The final game would determine the champion of the team tournament. It was between UN Club and Dream Club.Before they headed into the arena, Felix patted every team member’s shoulder gently as he gave
PS4?Eva had no idea what to say to that. She poked his little head gently. “Are you planning to be a gaming fanatic?”She might not know much about esports, but she did know what a PS4 was.If Max wanted this, it meant that he planned to be in the gaming industry for a long time.Max hugged his head aggrievedly after being poked in the head.“Daddy's the one who asked me to choose my reward, Mommy.”“That’s true. If you want it, then it’s what I’ll get you.”Nathan agreed immediately. Max glanced at Eva happily and stuck his tongue out to her.Eva did not stop him when she saw father and son on the same page. All she did was gently pinch Max’s little arm.Little fanatic!However, Eva decided not to stop him anymore as he was talented in gaming.The most important thing was that he was happy.By the time they returned to Thriving Dragon Bay, Mrs. Wilson had already prepared a good spread of lunch for them.As the tournament took quite a long time, it was already three in t
Mason could not be bothered to ask further when he heard Queenie’s answer.“I’ll let you handle the flower order. I need to get back to the office to work. Let me know if you need anything.”“Alright.”Queenie nodded obediently. She did not want to give Mason any trouble and acted docilely.Mason rubbed her head gently and got up to leave.A smile appeared on Queenie’s face as she watched Mason leave.Just wait, Eva Lane. She would go to see Eva tomorrow.…After Eva sent the children out, she returned to Thriving Dragon Bay and sat in front of her laptop.She had to find new flowers to grow.During this time, the flowers on the reclaimed land around Cloudy Hills Estate were doing well, and it had expanded quite a number of times. Her business had started to grow, and her orders increased drastically.However, the expensive flowers she was nurturing were no longer enough.These exquisite flowers were rare, and there were not many varieties available. As her high-end orders
Eva was always on their minds?Queenie was probably just trying to annoy her!Eva looked at Queenie's gleeful expression, and her face turned cold. “It’s fine. You can order your flowers elsewhere.”She did not want to get involved with anything that had to do with them.Her business was doing very well right now, and with Nathan promoting it, many businesses in North City were ordering from her. She did not lack any business.Eva did not need Queenie’s so-called offer to help with her business.Queenie grunted when Eva rejected her without hesitation. She looked Eva up and down in a strange manner and could not help being sarcastic.“Are you rejecting my business because you don’t like the fact that I’m with Mason now?”“Five minutes.”Eva lowered her head to look at the laptop’s screen again. She said coldly, “If you’re done with what you have to say, the butler will show you out.”“Hah! Getting jumpy, aren’t you?”Queenie smiled and walked in front of her. She glanced at
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
