Eva’s expression fell immediately when she heard this. Before she could say anything, Elena said coldly, “You have no right to question me about anything. Get Nathan to come out here!”This infuriated Eva. She was about to retort when Nathan walked out.His expression was cold as well, and he pulled Eva behind him. He looked at the furious Hunter and Elena as he asked them frostily, “What are you doing here?”“What are we doing here?”Elena said angrily, “You’re despicable, Nathan. You pretend not to care about what we’re doing but you’re messing with us behind our backs. You forced the Garners to withdraw their investments because you don’t want me to succeed!”The Garners withdrew their investments?Nathan frowned. “You need to explain yourself.”“Stop it. Don’t pretend that you aren’t aware of this. Who else but you would be behind this?”Elena kept yelling at him, but at least she explained the situation.She had started a company in the North district with the Garners, an
There was a deep look in Nathan’s eyes as he looked at her silently. Eva felt her entire body turn hot.“What are you looking at?”“You.”He replied to her softly and brushed the fringe on her forehead with his fingers. Sighing, he asked in a low voice, “What were you thinking about?”“About how I’m a disaster that brought you so much trouble.”Eva continued in a very small voice, “Your family has endured so much since my appearance. The Langleys are divided now all because of me. I’m so sorry.”Nathan suddenly hugged her tight.“Stop it.”He whispered softly in her ear, “It’s not your fault at all. The Langleys already had problems before all this. They just happened to come to the surface when you appeared. It has nothing to do with you.” Things had never been smooth sailing with the Langleys, nor was it ever peaceful and harmonious all the time.Everyone was just good at keeping up appearances.Now that their conflicts had gotten intense, no one bothered to put up preten
Eva immediately felt safe when she heard Nathan’s words. She nodded and followed him to the car.Old Mr. Langley did not ask for the children to be there, so Nathan and Eva left them at Cloudy Hills Estate.When they arrived at the manor, they saw Old Mr. Langley seated grimly on the couch. He looked sternly at Nathan after they sat down.“What did you do?!”He was filled with anger as he said coldly to Nathan, “If this continues, the Langleys will fall apart. Any outsider will be able to attack us easily. Don’t you know that?”Old Mr. Langley was furious, but Nathan replied calmly, “They're the ones who are in the wrong, Grandpa. I’m just punishing them so that they'll know to see the errors of their ways.”Otherwise, they might end up being eaten alive by Scope Investments and Wanda.Since they were not smart enough, Nathan would make the first move. Rather than have their assets taken by Wanda, it would be better if Nathan took them first and gathered all they had under Langl
Rebecca stayed at Cloudy Hills Estate for a while before she said that she had to leave. Eva quickly stood up and saw her out of the doors of the estate.“You don’t need to walk me all the way out.”Rebecca held her hand gently and said in a soft voice, “I was stupid before, and I’m glad you’re gracious enough not to hold a grudge. I’m going home now, Eva. I’ll see you next time when I’m free.” “Alright.”Eva smiled and said, “There’s no need to think about it any longer. Everything is in the past.”Rebecca nodded. She got into her car and instructed the driver to go. Eva stood at the door and watched her leave. The car gradually disappeared from her sight.When Eva was finally out of sight, the expression on Rebecca’s face darkened.The driver continued driving, and Rebecca said coolly, “Park the car at the side after we get down the hill.”“Yes, Madam Rebecca.”The driver replied respectfully and drove until they were down the hill. He then parked the car at a corner of the
Sophia looked full of excitement as she continued, “We can even manufacture other products such as cosmetics like lipsticks that are made with flowers as a raw material. They would be all-natural and harmless. Everyone would love it.”Eva frowned when she heard this.“It’s better to be cautious.”She reminded Sophia, “Those so-called cosmetics and lipsticks that claim to use fresh flowers as raw materials are just gimmicks used to scam consumers. We can’t do that.”“I know.”Sophia smiled and said, “You’ve misunderstood me, Eva. I mean for us to produce products that use real fresh flowers to manufacture cosmetics like lipsticks and other items that are healthy for your skin.“We can set up a research department to focus on developing these products. It'll help expand our market and strengthen our branding. This will benefit all women.”Eva was relieved to see Sophia taking this seriously and not being casual about it.The most important thing was to ensure that their products
After that gimmick, those from the upper-class society began trying their luck, and it turned out to be true. No matter who that person was, the Lawsons refused to sell them a second set after the first one was purchased. Everyone was only allowed to buy it once in their lifetime.Customers were required to register their identification numbers when purchasing the set to prevent anyone from buying it twice.Rose later got her father to advertise that diamonds were forever and true love was priceless. They more than doubled the price of the necklace and ring from the original price set by Rose's father, but it sold even better.Everyone was convinced that the necklace and ring were worth the money. Many middle-income consumers insisted on buying the necklace and ring for their wedding to give to their brides to show how much they loved and valued them.“That was how this business became a success, and that company from Paris provided the Lawsons with lots of benefits. The Lawsons bu
Sebastian’s face was grim. He looked like he was not willing to make this trip in the middle of the night. Ruby, however, was looking anxious and in a panic. Her eyes were red, and it was apparent that she had been frightened badly.Elena quickly went up to her and held her hand.“Are you alright, Ruby?”“I’m fine.”Ruby asked in a small voice, “What about Hunter? How is he doing?”At the mention of Hunter, James finally could not take it. He went up to Ruby and asked coldly, “How could you still ask about Hunter? What exactly happened back there? Tell us, how did those people take Hunter away? Did you see their faces?”He threw multiple questions at Ruby in such a short time, and she was a little taken aback. Ruby breathed in slowly to force herself to calm down. She clenched her fingers tightly before talking.“I have no idea what happened."Her eyes kept darting about, and she said with some fear, “Those were very formidable people. They parked right next to me and Hunter an
Everyone crowded around the doctor, asking, “How is Hunter?”James and Sue stared at the doctor. Sue’s eyes were red, and she was afraid the doctor would give them bad news.The doctor did not delay any further when everyone was staring at him. He gently wiped away the sweat on his forehead and said to everyone, “He’s doing fine. He’s not in any danger right now, but his situation isn’t that positive either. "Both his legs were broken by a blunt object, and he needs to recuperate properly. His head was smashed by something similar to a brick, but fortunately, it wasn't lethal enough to endanger him.”If it had been smashed any harder, Hunter might not have made it.Hunter was covered in bruises, and there were wounds all over his body, but the doctors had cleaned them up and bandaged him well.Sue covered her mouth and began crying again when she saw how much her son had suffered.James’ lips trembled as he called the police. When the police heard that it was the Langleys makin
