James and Sue looked coldly at Nathan as they shouted, “Are you crazy? You want us to kneel and apologize to you? Let’s just fight it out instead. We’re not afraid of you!”Elena stared darkly at Eva as well.Since this bitch married into the Langleys, there had been no peace. She even claimed that Elena was a Garner. Eva only dared to say so because she could give Nathan children and make Nathan listen to her.Elena spoke up coldly at this point, “Be careful, Eva Lane. It’s easy for something to happen when you’ve got so many children.”Eva gritted her teeth and clenched her hands.She understood that Elena was threatening her with the safety of her children!Eva did not retort. All she did was stare at Elena. Nathan held her hand and turned to look at Elena. His tone was cold and distant. “Fine. I’ve had enough of your dirty tricks. If you refuse to give up, go ahead and find out for yourself if the Garners are really your family. Just wait and see!”After that, Nathan held Ev
Rose quickly waved it off when she heard Elena’s words.“Eva is a good person. Otherwise, Nathan wouldn’t have fallen for her.”“I don’t think so. What’s so great about her? From her family background to her face, body, and personality, you’re better than her in every one of those aspects. The Langleys would be in harmony if you were my sister-in-law instead, Rose. What a pity.”Elena took a sip of her coffee and quietly enjoyed the pure flavor spreading slowly in her mouth. After that, she looked at Rose carefully and asked, “I heard you’ve got a boyfriend now?”“I do.”Rose did not deny this and nodded. “His name is Scott Maguire. He’s Nathan’s right-hand man and a very outstanding person.”“Really?”Elena looked at her suggestively. “It doesn’t matter how outstanding he is, he won’t be better than Nathan. Are you telling me that you’ve never had feelings for Nathan? That’s impossible. You grew up together, didn’t you? Why didn’t you end up in a relationship?”Rose smiled whe
Nathan gently hugged Eva around the shoulders and kissed her on the forehead.He knew that she was most worried about him.“It’s going to be fine.” His voice was deep and magnetic, like a melodious cello that tugged on Eva’s heartstrings. She looked up at him, and he explained to her in a gentle voice.“This new retail format has great potential. It may look like we’re making a big loss by offering discounts and subsidies, but rolling out the promotion with delivery service builds strong consumer stickiness. "We’ll be targeting more than 30 cities next to take over the market. It won’t be a problem if we can buy over shopping malls there.”Eva felt much better when she heard this.“That’s good to know.”She held Nathan’s hand, and her eyes lit up brightly. “I was just worried that you were doing this out of anger. It’s good that you’re not.”The look in Nathan’s eyes turned cold at the mention of doing things out of anger.“I’m doing this to the Garners because they’re bein
With Elena's support, the Garners made the decision to fight Langley Corporation's retail endeavors to the very end.Two of the biggest shopping malls belonging to the Garners joined the discount and subsidy war. They even started a delivery service that also provided many discounts. They successfully won back many customers.Sebastian even held a press conference.Many of the Garners attended it, and there were many prominent figures invited to the conference. There were many reporters as well.Sebastian smiled happily when he saw many people there.This was the effect he wanted!His phone rang, and Sebastian quickly checked the call. His smile became wider when he read the message. There was a look of delight in his eyes.Elena was such a great assistant.When the conference began, Sebastian got onto the stage. He looked at everyone seated and announced the news with gusto.“The Garners will continue our subsidy program by investing one billion worth of subsidy in the first
“What exactly did you do, Nathan?”Eva had no idea and asked him softly. Nathan gently patted her face and shook his head in exasperation as he explained to her.“There have been some anomalies in the financial data belonging to two listed companies of the Garners. I found it fishy and got Scott to look into it.”There was a cold look in Nathan’s eyes and a taunting smile on his face. “I’m almost sure that these two companies have at least two to three years' worth of fake accounts. I got Scott to leak the news. "Sebastian Garner is a cunning man. He’s trying to drag Elena into this. I have to take action against him this time!”Otherwise, Sebastian might think that the Langleys were pushovers!Hmph!Eva was silent for a long time as she sensed Nathan's cold demeanor. She nodded heavily after that.“You did the right thing, Nathan.”She did not hide her disgust for Sebastian as she said coldly, “Sebastian Garner has been causing a rift between you and Elena all this while. It
Rose was a decisive and efficient person. She arrived at Thriving Dragon Bay in about ten minutes. Eva was seated on the couch. Rose smiled as she looked around.“Are you home alone? Where’s Nathan?”“He’s busy.”Eva smiled and pulled Rose to sit on the couch. “He’s been busy the entire day because of work. He doesn’t even have time for me, and I’m so bored being stuck at home. That’s why I called you, Rose. I didn’t interrupt you with anything, did I?”“It’s fine. I’m usually not that busy.”Rose took a sip of the warm milk Mrs. Wilson gave her. She smiled and said, “I like chatting with you when I have time, but you seem to be quite busy recently too. You’re pregnant, but you still need to work on your flower business. I didn’t want to disturb you.”“I’m just filling up my time.”Eva did not think much about this. “Rose, have a taste of this custard Mrs. Wilson made. She’s really good at making it. I can’t take anything too sweet, so Mrs. Wilson modified the recipe with less s
Rose kept staring at Scott, and she looked at Eva and Nathan again. She was overwhelmed by everything that was happening.She was now in a difficult position.Rose glanced at Eva, who could not stop smiling. It made her feel even worse.Was Eva really unaware of Rose’s feelings for Nathan and was truly happy that Scott wanted to propose to her? Or did Eva realize Rose’s feelings and take this opportunity to plan this to keep Rose away from Nathan?Rose smiled and gave a long sigh.Eva and Nathan laughed even more happily.“Look at her. She’s still in shock.”Eva nudged Nathan in the ribs with her arm. “My flower castle is pretty nice, right? It’s so beautiful. No woman on earth can resist flowers.”“It’s not bad.”Nathan rubbed her head gently. “I didn’t expect your flower castle to turn out so well. If this works out between them, the biggest credit goes to you. I’ll make sure to reward you, and Scott will be very grateful to you too.”After all, Scott was really serious abo
Eva glanced at it and found the prices quite acceptable. Sophia had prepared the price and types of all the raw materials. Everything was in place, and the prices were affordable.There were even some materials that were cheaper than she expected.Eva nodded. “Not bad. Looks like you put a lot of effort into this. These raw materials are quite suitable. The information you've compiled here is enough for us to do a lot of research and development for the cosmetics.”“That’s right, Eva.”Sophia said happily, “I came over here to see you because I wanted to confirm the flowers and other details regarding the cosmetics and essence research. I’ll execute the proposal that you pick accordingly.”“Alright.”Eva looked carefully at the flower varieties and thought carefully about the prices for the raw materials. In the end, they decided on the third proposal.This proposal used the most flowers and the varieties ranged from common types to high-end species. They could use them for norm
