Eva was enjoying the sun in the garden. She was feeling a little sleepy under the warm sun.Mrs. Wilson came over to report quietly, “Mrs. Langley, the butler and security at the door just informed me that Mr. Lane is here. Do you want to let him in?She was referring to Eugene.Eva was silent for a while. Her drowsiness vanished, and she nodded.A few minutes later, Eugene came in. He noticed how luxurious Thriving Dragon Bay was but did not stare at the things around him. All he did was silently approach Eva.“Evie, I’m here to talk to you about something.”He sighed softly and frowned. There were quite a few wrinkles on his face, and he looked like he had aged a few years. “I hope you can give me a chance to manage Lane Enterprise again.”Eva frowned at him when she heard this.Did he want Lane Enterprise back?When she said nothing, Eugene quickly waved his hands. “Please don’t misunderstand me, Evie. I won’t cause any trouble. Now that I’ve sold Lane Enterprise’ shares to
After informing Old Mr. Lane and Eugene about this, Eva left with Nathan and the children for Old Langley Manor.Robert and Old Mr. Langley were seated on the sofa. Rebecca was massaging Robert on the shoulder, and she smiled at Eva and Nathan when they came back.Nathan and Eva brought the children over to them with a smile and greeted everyone.“Grandpa, Dad.”After they were done greeting everyone, Mia and Max ran to Old Mr. Langley with big smiles on their faces.“We missed you so much, Great-grandpa.”“I missed you too.”Old Mr. Langley nuzzled their faces gently with his goatee as his precious grandchildren hugged him. “You’re good kids who are much better than your father.”“Daddy missed you too.”The children smiled and explained, “But Great-Grandpa, Daddy likes Mommy the most now. Mommy has a baby inside her, and next time, all three of us will miss Great-Grandpa together.”Huh?Old Mr. Langley, Robert, and the others were stunned. They looked at Eva, and when they
“What’s wrong?”When she saw Lucy biting hard on her lip, Eva asked, “Where does it hurt?”“My tummy hurts.”Lucy clutched her tummy and kept screaming, “I can’t take it anymore. My tummy hurts. Hun… Hunter, where are you? It really hurts.”She kept trembling and could not sit still. She fell to the floor, where she continued screaming.Eva was stunned and quickly got Nathan and Hunter.When they got into the kitchen, they saw Lucy biting hard on her lip. Her lip was now bleeding, and she looked terribly pale.What was wrong with her?Hunter realized something was not right and went up to hold Lucy in his arms. “What’s wrong, Lulu? Don’t be afraid. I’ll take you to the hospital right now. Hold on!”He carried Lucy in his arms, and she wrapped her hands tightly around his neck. She grabbed his shoulders hard. “Hunter, my shoulders hurt. It hurts a lot. Ah! Help me, Hunter!”After that, she screamed once more.The commotion in the kitchen was too loud. Even Robert and Rebecca
Nathan gently held Eva’s hand in the corridor of the hospital.Her hand was freezing, and the look in her eyes was blank. She must have been frightened by Hunter’s threat. Nathan warmed her hands with his lovingly.It was not long before James and Sue arrived. After asking Hunter about the situation, they looked at Eva coldly.Eva could not help but tremble slightly.“Don’t be afraid.” Nathan noticed something wrong with her and whispered in her ear, “I’m here with you.”Eva felt slightly better after Nathan consoled her.When she stopped trembling, Nathan asked in a low voice, “Do you know what happened?”Hunter immediately suspected Eva when Lucy miscarried.Lucy’s stomach hurt after drinking the soup!Eva shook her head at his question. “I have no idea. I was planning to give Rebecca the soup, but she wasn't around. When I came back, Lucy had finished it. After that, her stomach began to hurt.” She had no idea why Lucy’s stomach would hurt.Could there really be some
Nathan and Eva had a room at Old Langley Manor. It was on the third floor, and they had stayed a night the last time they were here.When Hunter insisted on searching the room, Nathan nodded.“Go ahead.”When Hunter turned to leave, he questioned coldly, “What will you do if you can’t find anything?”Hunter could not be searching every corner of the manor for evidence, could he?He clenched his fists and said coldly, “If I can’t find anything, I’ll apologize to Aunt Eva and admit that I made a mistake with this.“But if I find any evidence, Uncle Nathan, I won’t be holding back.”Hunter headed up the stairs after saying this. James watched as Hunter went upstairs. He looked coldly at Nathan and Eva. “You should go up too. I don’t want you claiming that we maligned you.”Nathan did not object and he led Eva upstairs together.Once they were all upstairs, Hunter began searching through the bedroom. He even checked the pajamas Eva had worn while staying the night here.Nathan fr
Elena looked at Eva resentfully after Nathan released her. She continued saying, “Eva married into the Langleys all of a sudden with two children she claims are Langleys. Is that even true? How can a ruthless woman like her deserve to be here?!”“Shut up!”Nathan looked coldly at her and roared, “The DNA test has proven the results. What are you still making a fuss about?”“I’m making a fuss?”Elena narrowed her eyes dangerously. “I just don’t want a scheming, ruthless woman like her to be in our family. All she does is create havoc for us!”After that, she glared at Eva once more and said, “We can’t let this go that easily. You poisoned someone. You can be jailed for that. How else are you going to give justice to James?”Nathan stood protectively in front of Eva with a grim look when Elena said this. He swept a glance coldly at everyone present.There was a murderous look on his face. Eva’s eyes were red, and her tears kept falling.“It really wasn’t me. I didn’t do it. You h
After Eva left with the children to return home to Thriving Dragon Bay, Nathan continued the investigation in Old Langley Manor.The investigation did not go smoothly. Everything was a mess, and there were no clues at all. Nathan discussed this with Zane before going home to Thriving Dragon Bay.He focused on taking care of Eva at home for the next two days and handed all investigation matters to Zane. When it came to the investigation, it was better to let a professional handle this.Eva was reading a book in bed while in the bedroom.Nathan came in with a glass of milk. He gave it to her.“Drink it, alright?”“Alright.”She took the glass from him and drank the milk. It was warm and filled her mouth with a milky fragrance.However, there was a tinge of sorrow in her eyes.Nathan could not help sighing.He had been taking very good care of her for the past couple of days. She was a pregnant woman, so negative feelings would only affect her health and the baby. Rather than
Eva’s mind went blank when she heard Jack’s words.What did he mean by this?“It really wasn’t me.”She clenched her fingers and said to Jack, “Why should I admit to something I didn't do and take responsibility to be punished for it? Didn’t Nathan hire a professional investigator to look into this?”“Do you think any results will come out of that investigation?”Frowning, Jack said to her, “It doesn’t matter if you did it or not. The Langleys are now divided and in complete chaos. We’re fighting internally because of you. Is that something you want to see?”Eva frowned at his words.He was right.She was the one who caused all this chaos within the Langleys, and Nathan was in a tight spot right now.Eva was unaware of this previously, but now that she knew what was really happening, she could not sit by and do nothing.However, should she go against what she stood for?Jack continued when he saw her being silent, “If you admit to it, it doesn’t matter what punishment Grandp
