Tyler was sitting on a sofa in Opaque Villa while munching on an apple.Before he could finish the apple, Raven opened the door and entered.“Tyler, Aunt Wanda just informed us to deliver some flowers to Miss Lane tomorrow afternoon when she gets discharged.”Was it really just a simple flower delivery?Tyler frowned. He took Aunt Wanda’s note from Raven and read it. After that, he flung his apple to the side with a dark look on his face. He burned the note with his lighter.This was exactly Aunt Wanda’s style, but lately, he found himself unable to understand her actions.Raven said nothing when she saw the grim expression on his face. All she did was stand silently by the side.…Eva stretched lazily outside the entrance of Central Hospital.She was finally discharged!Eva did not enjoy the moody and repressed atmosphere of the hospital. She felt tense being in there. However, Nathan had done everything he could to convince her to stay for three days in the hospital to obse
Managing the company?That was when Eva remembered Lane Enterprise. She frowned.“Get her to come over to Thriving Dragon Bay to give me a report on the company. Business must've been bad. We might be busy for quite a while.”She was very worried about the condition of Lane Enterprise right now.The flower business was doing well and was well on its path. Cloud Hills Bay had plenty of workers, and with Yelena watching over them with the help of Sophia, there would not be major issues.As for Lane Enterprise, Eva had just been transferred all of the shares. Without Eugene to lead the company, there was no one to give directions, and it was as good as abandoning the company.If someone were to take the opportunity to attack the company…Eva shook her head hard to get this thought out of her mind.Nathan comforted her when he saw how worried she was. “I don’t think anything serious happened. That woman is pretty capable. She did well in helping you manage Lane Enterprise.”Really
Eva was busy arranging work in Thriving Dragon Bay while Sophia helped her to check the accounts.It was then that the butler came to report to Eva.“Mrs. Langley, Miss Lucy is here. Do you want to see her?”Lucy Quill?What was she doing here?Eva frowned and informed the butler to bring Lucy inside.Sophia left as well to give them some privacy. Eva was left alone in the living room.Lucy walked in quickly with some gifts and placed them on the table. When she saw Eva staring at her, she immediately smiled. “I’m here to see you, Aunt Eva.”“What do you want?”Eva looked coldly at her and kept her distance. It was a setback for Lucy, but she immediately smiled and continued, “I’m here to see you because I have something I’d like to say to you.”Lucy did not feel awkward when Eva stayed silent, and she kept on talking, “I’ve thought things through. Mason has been using me. He doesn’t love me at all. Hunter treats me really well, and the Langleys can give me so much more in li
They had insisted the children continue at Elite Kindergarten to give them a happy childhood where they could play with children their own age.Children needed to be children.Nathan took a deep breath and made a call to Felix.The next morning, when Mia found out Max did not need to go for training and was going to school with her instead, she was no longer gloomy and even jumped for joy.“That’s great!”She said happily to Eva, “I’m so glad Max can come to school with me.”Mia usually needed to be urged several times before she was willing to get into the car and head to school. Today, she held Max’s hand happily early in the morning. Eva smiled when she saw the expectant look on Mia’s face.Max followed Mia into the car with a loving look on his face as well.Mia smiled happily for the next few days because Max was with her.…That day, uninvited guests appeared at Elite Kindergarten.The woman in the lead was wearing a black windbreaker with her hair tied back in a ponyt
When they got into the principal’s office, Eva sat on the chair and looked at her anxiously.“What exactly is going on?”“Please don’t worry, Mrs. Langley. The children are fine right now.”The principal smiled and said, “I just found the woman really strange. She seemed to want to get close to Young Mr. Max and Young Miss Mia, but at the same time, she looked like she was being cautious about something. It was quite unusual.”After that, she explained to them in detail what the woman in the windbreaker did and what happened that morning.Nathan quickly requested her to show the name card when he heard the principal still had the name card from the man. He and Eva looked at it carefully.Capital Industries.Nathan sent a picture of the name card to Finn. Less than ten minutes later, Finn replied.“This company doesn’t exist, Mr. Langley. The closest company name to this is Capland Industries. The address and contact information on the name card is fake.”It was fake!Nathan f
Eva’s breathing got erratic, and she turned to look at Nathan. Her voice was cold. “Nathan, I’ll have to ask you to look into her quickly.”She could not allow Wanda to continue to be a threat to her life.Nathan could sense Eva’s fury when he saw the cold look on her face. He nodded.“Don’t worry. I’ll investigate her as soon as possible and find out everything about all that's happening. I’ll drag her out from behind the scenes.”Eva gave a long sigh of relief when she heard his promise.For the past five or six years, Wanda would always appear just as Eva’s life got a little peaceful. She would proceed to disrupt Eva’s life, and Eva did not want anything like this to happen again.All Eva wanted was to stay by Nathan’s side and protect her children while leading a quiet life.After that, Eva leaned against the bed to read, but Nathan could not calm down. Multiple thoughts ran through his mind. He could not help thinking about what Gavin had told him.Wanda Emerson, Maria. Eu
When Nathan opened his eyes, he saw Eva nearby and was secretly relieved.She was still there.For some reason, he felt secure and safe with her by his side.Eva went to him when she saw him awake. She pointed to the food at the side. “That's for you. It’s still hot. I didn’t wake you up because he’s still unconscious.”“Alright.”Nathan got out of bed and cleaned himself up. While eating, he said, “His alcohol poisoning was quite serious. He might've survived, but his body is quite weak. He won’t wake up so soon.”Eva sighed helplessly.The delicious fragrance from the food might have helped because Eugene suddenly opened his eyes while they were talking.It hurt his eyes to see the room so bright.Eugene rubbed his eyes hard. When he was sure that he was smelling a light scent of disinfectant and the delicious fragrance of food, he smiled bitterly.He was not dead.“You’re awake.”Eva quickly walked toward him. “How do you feel? Do you need me to get a doctor?”Eugene tu
Eugene smiled bitterly at Nathan’s words.“Alright, I’ll tell you everything. I’m a sinner. I did something terrible because I used underhanded tactics and forced myself on her. After that, we had Evie.”Eva could not believe what she had just heard as she looked at Eugene in shock.Nathan said nothing as he continued listening.Eugene felt a burden had been lifted after saying this. He said quietly, “We lived with each other in peace back then. We got along well, but when I confessed my feelings for her, she began to avoid me for some reason. "She couldn't stand to be near me, and nothing worked no matter how well Dad and I treated her.”Eugene had confessed to Wanda repeatedly, but she rejected him every single time. In order to distance herself from him, she started being sarcastic to him and gave him the cold shoulder.Eugene finally lost it after multiple times of being rejected.He drugged Wanda and forced himself on her when she was unconscious due to the drug's effects
