Even though she really wanted to go out, the memory of what happened in Paris made Eva more cautious. She replied, “I need to ask Nathan’s opinion first, Rose.”“Yikes. Go ahead. I know you’re a good girl who needs to report to Nathan even when it’s just going out shopping.”Rose teased her with a laugh. However, her face fell the moment she hung up.Was Eva showing off how loving they were?She even needed to go to Nathan for permission to shop. Hah!At the other end of the phone, Eva thought about this before calling Nathan.“Nathan, Rose just invited me to go shopping. Is it okay if I go?”Rose?Nathan thought about this and agreed. “Sure, but you need to bring along the bodyguards. Be careful, and don’t go to dark and suspicious places.”After all, Sally could be in North City or Cloud City.Her attack on Eva failed the last time. Judging by that woman’s vicious personality and the grudge she harbored for Eva, it was highly possible that she would come after Eva again!E
Rose did not express her thoughts while staring at Eva.It was not the right time.She called Scott on the phone while Eva was buying the hot dog. She purposely said in a soft and gentle tone, “I’m a little tired from shopping today, Scott. Will you come and pick me up?”“Sure. I’ll be right there.”Scott did not object and immediately agreed. Rose gave him the address before hanging up.She had someone come pick her up too.Rose suddenly felt stupid about what she was doing after the childish thought popped up in her head. She watched as Eva ate the hot dog happily.Was it necessary to compete with Eva over this and drag Scott into the picture?No matter how close she was with Scott and no matter the kind of relationship they were in, he was not Nathan. Nathan was Eva’s husband, and he had nothing to do with Rose.She closed her eyes in pain and took a deep breath.Rose let it be.This was pointless.“Scott will be here soon, Eva. We should go our separate ways here.”Ros
Nathan suddenly became calm when he saw how anxious and angry Frank got. Nathan sat with his hands folded and stared coldly at Frank.“Tell me where your daughter is and I might consider not to get more people involved in this.”Nathan kept staring at Frank. “Otherwise, I’ll take action against the Pileggis.”Frank shook his head with a sneer. His eyes were red. “There’s nothing for me to say. You should leave!”He would never talk.Nicole was holding on with difficulty out there. She must have gotten revenge successfully if Nathan was here to see him.The rest of them were already in prison, and there was nothing they could do inside. How could Frank give up their last hope, which was Nicole?He would never say anything to Nathan!Nathan clenched his teeth as he looked at Frank’s cold expression. “Fine. I don’t believe I won’t be able to track your daughter down!”Nathan turned to leave, and the prison guard immediately led Frank back to his cell. Frank stared at Nathan wal
Queenie stared viciously at Eva as she clenched her teeth to say to Sam, “Let go of me, Sam. Don’t hold me back, you garbage. You’re nothing but a piece of garbage. I want a divorce!”“Oh, do you?”Sam replied coldly, “Are you sure you want to? I wouldn’t mind. I can’t believe that a hand-me-down like you would make a fuss over this.”Queenie was insulted. She went crazy as she turned to hit Sam.How could he talk to her that way?“Alright. That’s enough!”Eva did not want to see them fighting. She got Yelena and Sam to drag Queenie away. After that, she looked at Pamela once more.“Talk. What did you say?”Pamela still had her hand on her cheek. “I didn’t say anything. I was just calling to show my concern.”She refused to say a word. Eugene leaned in close to her and said coldly, “That’s fine. I’ll ask him myself once he wakes up and find out what you said to him!”Pamela clenched her teeth when she heard Eugene’s words. She yelled at Eugene, “So, now you and Eva are a fami
“If he continues getting treatment, he might be able to recover some basic body movements. You shouldn't give up.”“Alright.”Eva nodded heavily and looked at the doctor as she said, “We’ll continue his treatment. You don’t need to worry about the medical fees. Just do anything you can to treat my grandfather.”“Alright.”The doctor checked on Old Mr. Lane’s condition again and changed his medication before leaving the room.Everyone was sighing softly. Yelena turned to look at Eva and said in a low voice, “It’s been too hard on you, Mrs. Langley. Why don’t you head home first? Let me take care of Old Mr. Lane.”“She’s right.”Nathan looked at Eva too. “You have to think of the baby inside you. You can’t continue this way.”“Alright.”Eva was feeling exhausted. She lowered her head and rubbed her tummy. She said to Old Mr. Lane, “I’m going home to have a rest, Grandpa. I’ll be back soon to take care of you.”Old Mr. Lane could not talk, so he blinked instead.He understood h
Eva did not hold back at all when slapping Pamela. Pamela’s cheek became red and swollen. It burned from the pain as she screamed and glared at Eva.“How dare you slap me, you little bitch?! I won’t let you get away with this. I’m calling the police!”Call the police?Eva’s rage burned within her as she was reminded of how much pain her grandfather was in while lying on the hospital bed. He was almost in a vegetative state as he was paralyzed. She dealt another slap to Pamela.Pamela was in a daze from being slapped so many times. She finally struggled to stand up, but Sam came up and twisted her arm. Pamela felt intense pain from it and lost her strength.“Ah, it hurts! You’re a bitch, Eva Lane!”Pamela shouted. That was when the door to the room next door opened. Queenie walked out, and when she saw Eva slapping Pamela, her eyes turned red instantly.“How dare you slap my mom, Eva?! Let her go!”She was too much!Queenie roared as she ran toward Eva. The look on Eva’s face c
Nathan was stronger than Eva was, and she could not escape his clutch. She turned to look at him in bewilderment.Why was he stopping her from slapping Pamela?“You’ll only hurt yourself from all that anger.”Nathan said softly to her, “You should maintain sound reason. There are plenty of ways to get back at them. You don’t need to take this into your own hands. It won’t do you any good to get hurt over them.”Eva paused for a moment and later nodded.However, she was still feeling the rage, and tears streamed down her face.Her grandfather had not been very healthy, which was why she had arranged for him to stay in Cloudy Hills Estate to recuperate slowly. His condition had just improved slightly when Pamela caused him to take a turn for the worse.If she had brought her grandfather over to Thriving Dragon Bay earlier and stopped Pamela from getting near him, would it have stopped this from happening?Eva was filled with anger and guilt. She turned to look at Pamela on the gr
Queenie was flustered to see the look on Camden’s face. She glared viciously at Sam.“You’re being malicious!”She shouted at Sam, “You’re just trying to humiliate me. I’ve never slept with you since we got married. Why would you say that about me? Who do you think you are?!”He was just a weak, useless man!The look in Sam’s eyes turned cold at Queenie’s words. He stared at her slightly pale face and sneered, “Don’t you know why I never touched you ever since we got married? It’s because your body is dirty!”How could a woman who had a baby die inside her think of becoming Mr. Graham? Dream on!Camden stopped them impatiently when he saw them about to get into another argument.“Stop wasting time. You’ve got the money now. Hurry up and get that divorce!”He kept fiddling with his phone while Sam glanced at him with a small smile on his face.Queenie quickly told him that she was going in to get the papers signed.She was afraid.Camden had no idea of her past relationship w
