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
“What are you trying to say?”Tyler could hear the hesitation in Eva’s tone. He smiled. “Let’s meet and talk. We can’t discuss something worth billions through the phone.”Eva frowned at his words but told the bodyguards to let him in.Tyler entered the estate without a hitch.When he stepped into the living room, he raised an eyebrow at the sight of the bodyguards standing on either side of Eva and behind her.Was she so wary of him?However, he did not mind at all as he plopped down on the sofa and explained his reason for being there. “Aunt Wanda told me that I had to see you, Miss Lane. Just get Lane Enterprise to name a price. Scope Investments will hand over the Lovettes’ assets to you.” Hand over?Eva could not help but shake her head. “You make it sound so simple. Will you give them to me for a dollar?”“No.” Tyler was not joking with her. He placed the documents he had brought in front of her. The columns for the price and signature were empty. He looked at her ser
The business world was once again astounded when news of the merger acquisition of the Lovettes’ assets by Langley Corporation and Lane Enterprise was announced.Many people did not think well of Nathan’s abilities, especially when his reputation had taken a hit after the Langleys’ internal conflict. However, his generous buy over had changed everyone’s impression of him.It did not matter how bad the Langleys’ infighting was, it did not affect Nathan’s abilities at all!Eugene was stunned when this news reached Lane Enterprise. He quickly rushed into Sophia’s office.“Sophia, did we really manage to purchase the Lovettes’ assets?”“Yes, we did.”Sophia said with a smile, “I personally handled the handover procedures. I was shocked as well when Eva informed me about this.”After that, she showed Eugene the documentation for the company’s assets.Eugene read through it nervously. He went through each document like they were precious treasures. In the end, his hands could not sto
Eva said nothing while Eugene and Old Mr. Lane looked worriedly at her.Old Mr. Lane knew her best, and he said in a low voice, “Don’t think so much about this, Evie. We won’t go if you don’t want to. It’s just the wedding of an outsider.” He did not see Queenie as family.Even Eugene said to her, “That’s right. Don’t go if you don’t want to. I’m only making an appearance because I’m her father. It’s not necessary for you to attend.” Should she reject the invitation?Eva took a deep breath and found herself feeling resentment for Queenie.Queenie had made use of her engagement party with Mason to provoke and humiliate Eva. While in the wooden house in the center of the lake, Queenie had even wanted her dead.The more Eva thought about it, the angrier she felt.Eva’s eyes narrowed as she said coldly, “I’ll go. I’d like to see what she can do to me!”Eugene and Old Mr. Lane looked at each other when they saw that Eva had come to this decision. They shook their heads in exasper
