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
Nathan could not understand this.Wanda had many talented and efficient subordinates. She could do anything she wanted easily. Who would stand to gain if anything happened to Hunter?Why was she doing this?Nathan was exhausted and could no longer think about this. He gently closed his eyes.The next day, it was past ten by the time Nathan and Eva woke up. There were two missed calls on Nathan’s phone from Old Mr. Langley.He could not wait any longer.Nathan and Eva quickly drank some milk and grabbed a few slices of bread before driving over to Old Langley Manor.When they arrived at the manor, Old Mr. Langley was seated on the couch with Robert at the side. Rebecca was making tea for both of them.Old Mr. Langley got Nathan and Eva to sit down when he saw them arrive.“Grandpa, Dad, I have something to ask you about.”Robert looked at Rebecca when Nathan said this, and she went up to the bedroom immediately.There were now only four people left in the living room, and thi
Nathan was going for an all-out war with him?Tyler took a deep breath and said in a low voice, “I didn’t do anything to you, Mr. Langley. I'd like to work with you too. What do you mean by doing this?”“I want someone you have.”Nathan said, “Give me the man who did this or I won’t stop.”The man?Tyler narrowed his eyes and got up to lead Nathan to a corner. He said to him in a whisper, “I can’t give you that man, Mr. Langley. I have no authority over him. He comes and goes mysteriously. I only know he’s in North City right now. I have no other information about him but this.”“Then tell me everything you know about him.”Nathan looked at him coldly and added, “You don’t need to bother about anything else.”“I knew you'd say that.”Tyler shook his head in exasperation and said in a low voice, “That man is called Gabriel Night. Aunt Wanda left him at the Golden Triangle when he was young. "He was trained to be a ruthless mercenary, and his expertise is assassination. He’s s
Elena was taken aback to hear Ruby’s words. She frowned. “Are you sure?”“Yes, I’m sure.”Nodding, Ruby said with indifference, “I remember that night very well. I’m pretty sure I recognize that man, but I’ve only seen him on the list of Langley Corporation’s CEOs. I don’t know his name.”“It’s alright. I can get the list for you.”Elena turned to look at Sebastian sitting at the side and said politely, “Can I borrow your laptop, Uncle Sebastian? I’d like to log in to Langley Corporation’s internal site to take a look.”They would be able to identify the person once she logged in.Sebastian immediately passed his laptop over to her. Elena’s fingers typed speedily on the laptop, and she logged into the internal site.She quickly showed Ruby the name list and photos of the company’s employees.Ruby looked at them one by one. She then browsed to a subsidiary company on the brink of bankruptcy. Her eyes widened as she pointed at the CEO with conviction.Calvin Gregson.“It’s him.
No one said a word, and Sue continued yelling, “Aren’t you doing all of this just to destroy our family? You’re truly a ruthless dictator, Nathan! You don’t have a conscience at all!”James looked at Nathan coldly and said in a calm manner, “Don’t bother to come again. It has nothing to do with you if our family lives or dies.”They were harsh with their words, making Eva clench her fists in anger.Why did they not trust Nathan?She looked over at Nathan and saw him looking extremely grim. His chest was heaving heavily, and she knew how furious he was.Nathan had always been calm. He always had everything under control.She had never seen him this angry before.When he said nothing, Eva stepped forward and shielded part of him on the right. She said loudly to Sue and James, “You have to believe him. He’s helping you to get revenge!”“Shut up!”Sue said coldly to Eva, “You have no right to say anything here, you bitch. The family has fallen into chaos because of you. How dare y
Old Mr. Langley was seated on the couch. No one else was there, and Nathan went forward to greet him. After that, he informed Old Mr. Langley about everything he found out.At the end of his update, Nathan’s eyes were filled with anger.“This is part of Wanda Emerson’s scheme. She’s trying to frame me and instigate inner conflict between me and James’ family while she waits to reap the benefits.”Old Mr. Langley nodded when he heard Nathan’s words.He rubbed his goatee gently, and a sharp look appeared in his eye as he said coldly, “I believe you, but I’m afraid James and his family now have a deep grudge against you.”Old Mr. Langley sighed heavily.What a horrible thing to happen.He had always hoped that the Langleys could be united and have a close relationship. He wanted them to always be there for each other as they helped build and manage Langley Corporation. He did not expect James and his family to feud continuously with Nathan. They had so much misunderstanding betwe
The Langleys were being targeted?Eva felt a chill when Nathan told her about this. She stared at him and later got up to put on her clothes in a fluster. Nathan began to explain the situation to her.“We need to return to Thriving Dragon Bay immediately, Eva. Someone has been watching Dad and Grandpa over at the manor. I’m afraid it won’t be safe for us here. I’m worried we might end up causing trouble to your grandfather. We should take the children with us and leave.”Nathan went to the children to wake them up after saying this to her.There were many bodyguards at Thriving Dragon Bay, and the land was wide. It was covered with high surveillance with security cameras watching every corner. It was also equipped with facilities and modes of transportation such as cars and a helicopter, which were useful for escape. It was much safer there than at Cloudy Hills Estate.Staying there would feel much safer.Eva understood what he was trying to do and did not object to this. She qui
