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
“What is it?”“It’s about Queenie.”Eva explained to Nathan, “My father dropped by today and told me that Queenie is about to get married to Sam Graham. He hopes that I can attend the wedding, and I'd like to be there.”“I’ll go with you if you want to.”Nathan did not think much of it, and he continued with dinner. Eva’s face, however, turned cold.Pamela and Queenie had lost everything and had nowhere to go. Meanwhile, Queenie finally learned her lesson. They deserved what they got.Haha.Eva sniggered but spoke up again at the thought of Sam.“I can’t believe that Sam loves Queenie so much. After how she humiliated him, he’s still willing to forgive her, accept her, and even marry her. Doesn’t he know what a terrible person she is?”Nathan put down his fork at the mention of Sam. “I think he does. From what I understand, that’s not exactly how their relationship is. I think there must be another reason why Sam invited you to the wedding.”Eva nodded nonchalantly.It did n
“She plays the violin really well.”Max said to Mia, “Don’t worry, you’re very talented too. You dance very well, and they'll be amazed to see you perform.”“You’re amazing too.” Mia did not forget to praise her older brother. “Come on, Max. Miss Turner is waiting for us.”“Alright.”Max smiled and rubbed her little head as he followed her into class.Amy got them to introduce themselves on stage, and after that, their classmates welcomed them. Amy gave them a short overview of their classes here.Her explanation gave the children an idea of the kindergarten.Musical culture class was a free class where the children could pick their most well-played or favorite instrument to practice. This class was not limited to playing the instruments; it also included lessons on the origins of the instruments, background stories, legends, and other cultural aspects surrounding the instrument.That was why this class was known as musical culture class.The violin-playing was part of the c
James and his family, along with Elena, Jack, and the others, turned to look at Zane anxiously. Elena sneered and said coldly, “That’s right. Announce the truth. You’re the expert here. You need to be responsible for what you’re about to say.”“I guarantee that I play a fair part in this.”Zane continued coolly, “All evidence of this case was handled by the criminal investigation team. The evidence and reliability are guaranteed. I’ve also left a report of the investigation with the team, and you’re welcome to go through it any time.”At this point, Elena kept silent. Old Mr. Langley glanced quietly at her and let Zane continue.Zane nodded and said loudly, “Miss Eva was not the one responsible for the poisoning. There were two people who worked together on this. Even though the scene of the crime was a mess, we managed to find concrete evidence. "Our forensics team managed to discover a fingerprint among the clothes in Miss Eva’s cupboard.”He took out a picture of the fingerpr
Everyone turned to look at Zane.Hunter questioned angrily, “What nonsense is this? Are you saying that Lucy killed our baby just to frame Aunt Eva? Do you think she’s gone mad?”“That’s right. Lucy would never do something like that.”Sue supported Hunter’s statement. “She’s our daughter-in-law. Lucy might not have gotten along with Eva before, but that was in the past. She has already apologized to Eva about it.”“That’s right. Saying that she did this to herself is a little far-fetched.”Everyone began talking amongst themselves and confronting Zane. It was chaotic, and Nathan slammed the table hard with a dark look on his face.“That’s enough!”He looked coldly at James, Sue, and the rest. He berated them loudly, “He must have evidence to have said that. What are you even doing, making all this noise? Let him finish!”Eva stood in front of everyone and swept a cold glance at them. Her tone was cold. “What’s wrong? You’re not willing to believe the evidence in front of you a
James and Sue looked at each other and said coldly, “We don’t need to be anxious about this. I’ll go home right now to confront Lucy. If she really was the one behind this, I’ll make sure that she pays the price.”Eva grunted coldly when she heard this.“Will you?”She looked at James coldly. “Do you mean to say that you’ll handle this privately at home? What about me? I’m a victim who was framed by her. Don’t I deserve an apology?”Nathan held Eva’s hand tightly and nodded in agreement.“She’s right.”He looked coldly at James, Sue, and the rest as he said frostily, “Eva suffered so much grievances and stress when she was framed. All of you have seen it for yourselves. She deserves an apology.”Eva was more confident with Nathan supporting her, and she turned to look at Elena.Her gaze was cold, and Elena could not help shrinking back slightly.“Elena.”Eva said to her, “You accused me of this crime and even wanted to hit me. Shouldn’t you be apologizing to me?” Elena was
Everyone watched as Lucy became hysterical. James and his family looked especially upset.James and Sue held back Hunter with all their might. They were afraid that he would do something stupid if he stood up. He continued breathing heavily. His face was completely red as he stared at Lucy.“Bitch.”He kept mumbling, “You’re a bitch. To think that I’ve been treating you so well!”“Well?”Lucy burst out laughing. “Stop pretending to be so in love with me, Hunter. You’re a criminal, and I hope you end up dead. Every time you touch me, all I feel is disgust!”This venomous woman! Bitch!Hunter did not want to continue looking at her. He clenched his fists hard, his fingernails digging deep into his palms, leaving bruises and fingernail marks on them.James' and Sue’s grip on him got tighter.“Mom, Dad, I’m fine.”Hunter took a deep breath and said calmly to them, “I was immature in the past. I won’t be that way again.”He laughed bitterly after that.James and Sue finally rele
