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
Max was already done with breakfast by the time Nathan got downstairs. Eva and Nathan checked their handphones while eating breakfast.Eva suddenly exclaimed in a small voice.“What’s wrong?”She showed him her phone the moment Nathan asked. “Look!”Eva looked flustered, and her fingers clenched the phone hard. Her face was slightly pale, causing Nathan to frown. He took the phone from her hand and read the contents seriously.It was a piece of news.The head of the Silvas, Colton, was attacked and sent to the hospital for emergency treatment. The police announced that they had identified the culprit and were in the middle of pursuing the person.Reporters and netizens speculated about the situation.Even though the Langleys had kept Hunter’s attack under wraps, someone had divulged the news. Netizens were convinced that there was danger among the heads of prominent families.Hunter from the Langleys was the first to be attacked, and this was followed by Colton. Could the othe
Eva stood in a daze at the doors of Thriving Dragon Bay. Her hair fluttered about in the freezing wind.The chill went down to her bone, and she pulled her clothes tighter around her.“We should go inside, Mrs. Langley.”Mrs. Wilson said softly to her, “The police are just conducting a routine investigation. Mr. Langley will be fine. Don’t worry. The most important thing right now is your health.”“Alright.”Eva listened to her and turned robotically back into the main house at Thriving Dragon Bay.She looked calm on the surface but Eva was actually overwhelmed with emotions.Why? Why must Wanda do this to her and Nathan?She had gotten Gabriel to attack Colton, which ended up with him hospitalized. She even made sure that Gabriel had driven a car belonging to Nathan’s company. This was clearly a frame job.Why must Wanda insist on destroying Nathan?Was she doing all of this just to destroy everything Eva had?Eva clenched her fists. Her nails dug into her palms from the fo
Nathan and Finn had just stepped out of the elevator when they saw Xavier walking in circles outside the CEO’s office.He was really patient!Nathan grunted coldly and strode toward him. Xavier’s eyes lit up when he heard Nathan’s footsteps, but his face quickly turned somber. He coldly went up to Nathan.“I thought you wouldn’t dare come to the office today.”Xavier said sarcastically, “I heard that you’ve always been open and upright with the way you handle things, Mr. Langley, but you refused to show up when something happened. Why did you hide at home and refuse to come to the office?”Nathan looked at him coldly and said with indifference, “If you’re here to waste my time, you can leave.”He did not show Xavier any courtesy. Even though there was no one around, Xavier’s face turned red. He stared at Nathan.“How can you still act so arrogantly, Nathan Lane?”Xavier followed behind when Nathan pushed open his office door and walked in. Nathan sat in his chair while Xavier w
Tyler took a seat on the sofa opposite her and said nonchalantly, “We meet again, Miss Lane. Aunt Wanda is the one who asked me to be here.”“I don’t want to see you.”Eva said brusquely to him, “What do you want? Get straight to the point.”“Aunt Wanda will be calling you later. You can speak with her then.”Eva looked at Tyler in astonishment when she heard this.Wanda would be calling her?Did he mean to tell her that she would be able to speak directly to Wanda?Tyler smiled when he saw her astounded expression. He snapped his fingers. “You should be getting the call soon. Probably in ten minutes.”That quick?!Eva sat motionless where she was and waited with an uncertain look on her face.Wanda would be calling her. That was her mother.Ten minutes later, Tyler’s phone rang. He looked at the phone and picked it up immediately. “It’s me, Aunt Wanda.“Yes, she’s right opposite me.“Alright.”After Tyler was done speaking, he passed his phone to Eva. “It’s Aunt Wanda.”
Nathan was woken up by an urgent ringing the next morning.The call was from Finn.Nathan rubbed his eyes and glanced at the sleeping Eva. He grabbed his phone and walked out of the bedroom before picking it up.“What’s wrong?”He sounded brusque. Finn knew how annoying it was to be woken up at seven in the morning, but Gavin had just shared really important news that had to be informed immediately.“Gavin found Gabriel Night, Mr. Langley.”Finn said in a low voice, “He escaped to a small town in the south, and Gavin has sent men to go after him. However, they got there a second too late and Gabriel has left on a small boat. I just received the news and thought to immediately call you about it.”Nathan cursed out loud when he heard this.Gabriel managed to escape!He was already frustrated by Wanda framing him continuously. There was the matter of Hunter and also the misunderstanding the Silvas had of him. He had to capture Gabriel, the man responsible for all of this.Gavin
There were many people coming along to Paris. Besides Nathan and his family of four, Sophia and Finn were tagging along. There was also Scott and Rose, which made it a total of eight people.There was also the security team arranged by Finn and Gavin. There were a total of ten on the team and another two bodyguards, which made it 12 people.Felix and the club were taking another flight, and they were not included in this group.Even so, Eva found herself having a headache with the arrangements. She looked at Nathan. “How are we supposed to go with so many people coming along, Nathan?”“We’ll just book an entire plane.”Nathan rubbed her head gently. “Don’t worry about it. I’ll get Finn to handle this.”“Alright.”Eva nodded, and she sighed with relief.They were about to head to Paris, and Nathan gave Robert a call to inform him about this.Robert did not object to this and nodded in agreement.“Since you’re going to Paris, I’ll focus on the company while you’re away. I’ll fo
The news report stated clearly that Eva started with a company that sold flowers. It did not garner much attention then.Not long after that, she bought Lane Enterprise and became the CEO of the company. During that time, Lane Enterprise operated as usual with a market value of ten billion maximum.However, she soon bought over Lovette Group.Eva purchased the assets of the Lovettes, and her company grew rapidly with a breakthrough to 50 billion. Moreover, she had the support of Langley Corporation, which increased the company’s market value by three to four times.That was the beginning of her amazing capabilities.She was worth a market value of over 300 billion.The news report was exaggerated and not based on any truth, which made it even more embarrassing for Eva. Nathan pinched her face and kissed her on the cheek.“What an amazing person my woman is.”He gushed at her, “You’ll probably end up being better than me if you have enough capital.”“That’s impossible.”Eva gl
The children cheered happily when Eva agreed to it“Yay! We can finally watch our Disney movie!”They were happy about it, which made Eva feel good to see them so cheerful. Even Eugene smiled and said, “You should take the children out for some fun. It’s the first day of the company’s listing and a good day to do something fun.”Everyone agreed, and even Nathan nodded in approval. Eva smiled as they drove to Disneyland with the children.They started the day with the children’s request to watch the movie.The children loved the movie, but it was a little boring for Nathan and Eva. Fortunately, the plot was somewhat interesting, and the popcorn was delicious, which got them through it.When they walked out of the movie theater, the children were still feeling enthusiastic. Eva decided to let Nathan and Eugene take the children to have fun at the theme park.Eva was pregnant and could only be their photographer.They had a lot of fun that day, and the children had innocent yet be
Hunter was brusque with them, but Queenie was unperturbed. All she did was look back at him arrogantly.Hah!Hunter felt uncomfortable with the way she was staring at him. He was about to lose his temper when he heard her sneer, “Stop showing yourself off as a Langley for now, Hunter Langley. "I’m here to propose a lucrative partnership. I believe you’re aware that the product sold by Lane Enterprise right now is a hot commodity. Are you interested in being a part of it?”Lane Enterprise’s floral series?This perked Hunter’s interest.He knew about it, and he was very interested as well. Eva’s product was doing crazily well in the market while he, James, and Sue could only watch as she profited from it. There was nothing they could do.What could they do about this?Hunter sat opposite Queenie and Camden. He looked at them carefully before finally speaking up, “Do you have a way of getting into this business?”“Of course.”Queenie gave Camden a seductive look. Camden immedia
James sighed heavily and said in a low voice, “Your Aunt Elena has been forced out of the country by Nathan. There’s nothing we can do about it. Your grandfather has sided with Nathan, and she has no choice but to stay in Europe.”Europe.Hunter clenched his fists.Elena had been in charge of the family business in South America, and her connections were there. Sending her off to Europe meant that she had to start from scratch.Nathan was pretty ruthless to leave Hunter and Elena with nowhere to go!James was glad to see Hunter being furious about the situation. Hunter turned toward James again and asked, “What about Ruby, Dad? She can’t have been chased off as well.”It had been days since Hunter managed to contact her.There was some spark between them, and Ruby did not mind that he was divorced. She was the only woman whom Hunter felt something for in North City.James clenched his teeth at Hunter’s expectant look and nodded.“She was forced to leave the city after Sebastia
“I hope you won’t harass us anymore, Wanda Emerson.”Wanda laughed coldly at the other end of the phone when she heard Eva’s words. Eva’s words sounded more like a joke to her instead of a statement.Once she stopped laughing, she said tauntingly, “You must be imagining things. This is just the first step.”What?This was just the first step?Eva burned with fury instantly as she said with clenched teeth, “I’ve already done what you told me to. What else do you want, Wanda Emerson? I won’t give in to you!”She was not Wanda’s puppet who could be pushed around. She was a human being, a person who had a soul and was made from flesh and blood!Wanda should stop threatening her!It was as if Wanda had heard the determination in Eva’s voice. Wanda’s fingers gently fidgeted as she continued coldly, “If you don’t listen to me, I’ll lay my hands on Nathan Langley instead. It’s easy for me to poison him if I want to.”Eva lost her last strand of reason at this point.Why did Wanda hav
Eva was lying silently in bed back in the bedroom. She had not recovered, and she felt quite exhausted because she did not sleep the night before. All she wanted right now was to have a good rest.Nathan opened the door gently.“Eva.”He called out softly. Eva quickly sat up and hurried up to her to help. He did not want her to exhaust herself.“Did I disturb your rest?”“No, you didn’t.”Eva sighed gently. “My mind is occupied with something, and I couldn’t sleep. Nathan, can you chat with me for a while?”“Sure.”Nathan sat next to her, and his palm gently brushed down her hair. She felt ticklish and laughed softly.They were silent for a while before Nathan spoke up.“Didn’t you have something to say to me?”“I did.”Eva lay next to him and said in a low voice, “I thought about it last night, Nathan. Lane Enterprise has just begun developing, and our foundation isn’t stable. "If Langley Corporation is able to work with Lane Enterprise, it'll be a big help to us. I’d st
Eva did not notice Rose. All she did was clench her phone tight.She was waiting for Wanda’s answer.Why did she want Eva and Nathan to have cross-shareholding? Even if she did that, she would only own 5% of Langley Corporation’s shares. Why did Wanda want her to become a shareholder of Langley Corporation?Multiple questions appeared in her mind, and Eva felt like her head was about to explode. However, she took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down as she listened quietly.Wanda was silent for a few minutes before saying coldly.“You don’t need to know the reason.”A simple sentence was enough to destroy Eva’s hope. She clenched her teeth and forced herself to calm down as she growled at Wanda.“What did the Langleys ever do to you? You’ve been plotting all of this from the very start. Are you trying to use me against the Langleys?” Wanda sneered when she heard this. “You guessed right.”Her laugh was cold. It was like a dagger that stabbed right through Eva’s heart
Scott chatted with everyone for a while before pulling Nathan away to talk in private.“I need help, Nathan.”Scott said to him in a low voice, “What should I do when meeting the parents for the first time?”Meeting the parents?Nathan looked at him in astonishment. When he saw how serious Scott was and how he did not look like he was joking, Nathan began to advise him carefully about this. “You need to make this grand and prepare gifts that they like. Also, be polite and respectful. Any other things are fine. The most important thing to do is to leave them with a good impression.”“Alright.”Scott made a note of everything Nathan said. Nathan smiled teasingly when he saw how seriously Scott was taking this. “Why are you so anxious about this?”“Of course, I am. She’s perfect in every way. I don’t want to lose her.”Scott’s eyes were filled with adoration and happiness when he replied this. Nathan felt happy for Scott when he saw Scott looking this way.As long as Scott was
Nathan was being honest.After the trial ended and Jadora was out of the picture, the floral series became a hot commodity in the market. Client demand had soared several times over.“The cosmetics market yields a high profit, and Langley Corporation has always wanted a piece of the pie. But Lane Enterprise got into it first. If you’re agreeable, I would love it if our companies could work on it together.”Moreover, they were husband and wife.Nathan would not be able to trust another business partner completely, but it was different with Eva.When Eva saw the adoring look in his eyes, her decision to get him to invest began to waver.Did she really want to do what Wanda said?Even though she had no idea what Wanda wanted, she was sure that Wanda wanted to attack Langley Corporation. She would be relentless about it.Getting Eva to obtain shares from Langley Corporation might be the first step in Wanda’s plan to destroy Nathan.Eva could not allow this!She clenched her teeth
