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
Nathan did not say anything much. He looked coldly at Robert, who took a deep breath. He placed his palms on the table and pushed himself up. He turned to look at Nathan.“Alright.”He smiled bitterly and said softly, “Elena did cross the line this time, and there’s nothing more I can say. But Nathan, she’s your sister, after all.”Nathan sat stoically, and Robert left the study without saying more.Eva went up to the second floor after Robert left. She pushed the door open and saw Nathan looking terribly upset. She went up to him and gently hugged his arm.“What did your father say, Nathan?”“The same thing.”Nathan sniggered. “He’s just worried about his daughter.”Eva hugged him tight because she felt bad for him.Nathan pinched her cheek as he enjoyed the soft, warm sensation of his woman. “I’m fine.”“I’m just feeling sad for you.”Eva leaned her head against his chest and replied moodily, “Why does your father always side with his other children? You’re the one who doe
Sally gritted her teeth and clenched her fists so hard that her fingernails dug into her palms. She felt intense pain from it.She looked up to see Rebecca’s worried face. She smiled sarcastically.“You want me to give up?”Sally sighed deeply. “That’s impossible, Aunt Rebecca. I almost killed Eva Lane this time. Nathan Langley will never let me or the Pileggis off.”She had to see this through.There was a crazy yet obstinate look in Sally’s eyes. Rebecca could not talk her out of it. She could only nod silently when she saw how determined Sally was to have revenge.She decided to let it be.Sally should do as she decided.“It’s fine, Aunt Rebecca. You don’t need to feel conflicted over this.”Sally said to her, “If Robert Langley wants you to go home, you should go. You can help me by collecting news about them. I’ll take action once there's an opportunity.”She would never let Eva get away with this!The look in Sally’s eyes was cold and wild. She looked like she could no
