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
Snake’s words were simple. He basically said that he was happy to have a fan like Max. He had noticed Max quite early on and knew that Max played very well.However, he had no idea that he was Max’s idol.After that, he patted Max on the shoulder and said seriously, “Esports need new blood like you. Work hard to play better than me in the future.”“I will.”Max’s face turned red with excitement as he nodded heavily. He lowered his head slightly at Snake.Max chatted with Snake for a little longer and later returned to his seat with Felix. He pressed Snake’s signature on his chest and could feel his heart beating wildly.Snake said he had been paying attention to his gaming!He had no idea that his idol had noticed him!Max wanted to scream out in delight, but he stayed quiet because there were so many people around him. All he could do was clench the signature Snake gave him tightly.Mia could not help but cover her mouth and chuckle when she saw Max that way.“Max has gone c
At Paris’ Entire Bar, Nathan, Eva, Scott, and Rose were seated in front of a young bartender. Nathan was drumming the table gently.Scott spoke fluent French to the bartender and ordered four glasses of Blue Temptation.The bartender made them very quickly and presented four glasses to everyone. There was a light scent of sweetness coming from the drink, and the flavor of the liquor would continue to linger on the tongue after tasting it. It was the first time Eva was tasting this, and she was about to touch it to her lips when Nathan took the glass away from her.“You shouldn’t be drinking this.”He placed the Blue Temptation next to himself and snapped his fingers. The bartender served up a fresh glass of apple juice for Eva.Eva sighed helplessly and drank the juice.“That was careless of me.”Scott said of himself, “Please don’t be mad, Eva. I completely forgot about your situation. I was just too eager for you to experience Paris.”“It’s fine.”Eva shook her head and dr
