Eva quickly put the glass down and began retching again.She felt awful.Once she finally stopped, Eva felt much more comfortable. She picked up the glass to gargle again.Eva looked at her pale face and gently brushed through her hair.This was morning sickness.However, she had just found out she was pregnant. This was all a little too early.After Eva cleaned herself up, Yelena could not help asking worriedly, “Should I get you a doctor, Mrs. Langley?”“It’s fine.”Eva walked to the sofa and fell onto it. “Just get me a glass of milk.”She did not want to see a doctor. Yelena quickly poured her a glass of milk and quietly observed Eva’s face. She remembered what had caused Eva’s retching and could not help smiling.“Are you pregnant, Mrs. Langley?”Eva raised an eyebrow.Yelena was an older woman who had life experience. She could tell with one look.“Yes.”She nodded heavily and gently reminded Yelena, “Please don’t tell anyone about this.”“I understand.”Yelena
Nathan drove Eva and the children back to Langley Manor at 6:30 pm.Old Mr. Langley, Robert, and Rebecca were seated on the sofa and chatting. When they saw Nathan and his family arrive, they smiled and welcomed them.Robert carried Max happily in his arms.“Let me have a look. Has my grandson gotten taller?” “Of course, I have!”Max laughed and hugged Robert’s arm. “Mia has grown taller too, Grandpa. Look.”He turned to look, but Mia had already run to hug Old Mr. Langley.“I missed you so much, Great-grandpa.”Her voice was sweet as sugar, and Old Mr. Langley smiled so much that his eyes creased. He rubbed her head gently and kept nodding.There were snacks and sweets on the table. Rebecca smiled gently as she gave them to the children.Nathan and Eva smiled as they sat at the side.Everyone began chatting happily. Max was telling Robert about his exciting moment during the national tournament and how he had won the championship. His big eyes shone when he talked about it
The living room of Lane Residence was in a mess. Queenie was rubbing her eyes on the sofa, and her cheeks were tear-stained. It was clear that she had been cryingPamela’s hair was in a mess, and her clothes were skewed. A lone slipper was lying at the side of the floor. Pamela looked exactly like an angry shrew as she stared red-eyed at Eugene.“Why didn’t you just sell us off as well, Eugene?”Her voice was hoarse, and when she saw Eugene staying quiet, she ran forward and grabbed him by the collar. She shook him violently. “Give me back my money and my shares! Give them back to me!”No matter how much she grabbed him, Eugene continued staying silent as he let her vent it all out on him.After telling her the truth about Lane Enterprise, Pamela went crazy. She kept smashing things to vent her anger and kept yelling at him. She was almost tearing him apart.However, what could he do about it?His debts were cleared with Nathan’s help, and the company’s shares no longer belonged
“Are you leaving?”Mason quickly tried to stop her when he heard that. “Come with me, Eva. I have something to say to you.”“There’s nothing I have to say to you.”Eva said coldly and got out of the car to help Sophia with the barricade.Sophia smiled weakly when she saw Eva come over. “This barricade is really heavy, Eva. I can't move it on my own.”“It’s alright. We can do it together.”Eva and Sophia bent over to move the heavy barricade. Mason’s face fell when he saw both of them ignoring him.That slut!Eva must be ignoring him because he had lost everything and was no longer useful to her!He clenched his teeth and walked behind them coldly. He hit Sophia hard on the back of her head.Mason used brute force. Sophia fell unconscious after feeling a pain in her back.She fell limply to the ground, and Eva turned to look at him in surprise. She was shocked when she saw the grim look on Mason’s face.Mason was crazy!Eva turned away immediately in fear. She wanted to get
Meanwhile, on the wide road, the passed-out Sophia was woken up by passersby.“Are you alright, Miss? Do you need to go to the hospital?”The voice of the passersby helped Sophia get her thoughts straight. She rubbed the back of her head, which was throbbing with pain, and immediately sobered up.“Eva!”She looked around the car in a panic and did not see Eva. Mason and his car were gone, and she was the only one left.Sophia spotted Eva’s smashed-up phone lying quietly on the ground not far away.Did Mason take her?Sophia’s eyes widened at this frightening thought.She quickly took out her phone. Fortunately, it was still intact.Sophia took a deep breath and made sure she was calm before she called Finn’s number.The call had just gotten through when Sophia immediately broke out crying. “This is terrible, Mr. Miller! Eva was taken away by Mason Young!”Finn was dumbstruck when he heard this news. He was stunned for a few seconds before quickly asking about the details of
Eva turned away from Mason stubbornly. She did not want to speak to this crazy man.It was impossible for her to leave with him!She could not leave her children, nor would she leave North City. She would never leave that man.Nathan’s face appeared in front of her, and Eva shuddered slightly before closing her eyes.He must be looking for her.Eva’s silence frustrated Mason even further. He lowered his head to look at her, and his breathing got increasingly heavier. He stumbled to the chair at the side.He picked up a bottle from the table and opened it.“Why would you want to leave with me? All you can think about is Nathan Langley. He’s richer than I am and more capable than I am. Haha! Slut! You’re nothing but a gold-digging slut!”Mason drank the alcohol from the bottle.The liquid burned his throat and his stomach. It felt like numerous little daggers slicing his throat, and he began to mumble.“Haven’t I been good enough to you, Eva?”He took a few gulps of the drin
In the CEO's office of Scope Investment headquarters, Nathan was staring coldly at Tyler.Tyler was still smiling with a devil-may-care attitude as usual. “Hey, isn’t this Mr. Langley? What are you doing at my little company? Can I help you with anything?”“Cut the crap.”Nathan asked him coldly, “Where’s Mason Young? He took Eva.”Eva was kidnapped by Mason?Tyler was shocked to hear this news, but he quickly looked at Nathan tauntingly. “Mr. Langley, is there a problem with you? You should go to the right place to find your wife. Mason is no longer part of Scope Investments.”“Shut up!”Nathan was enraged, and the temperature in Tyler’s office dropped a few degrees. He stared into Tyler’s taunting eyes. His voice was so frosty it chilled anyone who heard him. “Did Wanda Emerson do this? If she did, I won’t let you off!”After that, he left Tyler behind and strode off.The most important thing was to find Eva. He was not in the mood to waste time and bicker with Tyler Sulliva
Nathan immediately looked at the map carefully after hearing what Matthew said.He frowned.“Are you sure Mason Young’s car never appeared after that?”“Yes.”Matthew replied confidently, “His car disappeared after driving into the village and has not appeared since then.”This was bad.Nathan’s heart sank.That would mean Mason had changed vehicles while in the village and he might have more than one car!It was impossible for him to be hiding in that village with Eva. It was a very small village, and he would be discovered immediately if he was hiding there. Mason was not stupid.Damn it!Nathan clenched his fists and took a deep breath. He forced himself to calm down before calling Gavin.“What do you need, Mr. Langley?”“I need you to find out where in this entire city that has just recently sold a second scrapped vehicle!”“Yes, Mr. Langley!”Nathan was still frowning after he hung up. Matthew had heard everything he said and poured a cup of tea for Nathan. “Do you n
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
