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
Nathan frowned when he heard Finn speaking so carefully. “I’m conducting field research in North City to select the next shopping mall’s location.”Now that the competition was gone, Nathan was making plans to build a new shopping mall. The two shopping malls they bought over from the Garners were not enough for him. Nathan wanted to establish a shopping mall franchise with their new retail format.Finn inhaled softly and said in a low voice, “Mr. Langley, Sebastian Garner just jumped off the building of our company’s main office.”Nathan frowned when he heard the news.“Is he dead?”“Yes, Mr. Langley.”Finn continued carefully, “What should we do about this, Mr. Langley?”He was really dead.Nathan instructed coldly, “Call the police. Get them to take care of the body. Committing suicide after failing in business, isn’t he a capable one?”Finn nodded immediately at the orders and went off to get it done.“What should we do about the media, Mr. Langley?”“Let them say whatev
The bodyguards had her pressed down while Elena glared furiously at Eva.“Bitch! You bitch! Let me go if you dare! What’s the point of restraining me with your bodyguards? Bitch! I’ll tear you apart and eat you alive!”Eva hugged her children tight and wiped their tears away. She kissed Max and Mia on the forehead gently.“Don’t be afraid.”Max was the braver child and was the first to calm down. He clenched his little fists. “Mommy, get Daddy to come home quick. We can’t allow Aunt Elena to bully us.”“Alright.”Eva nodded. She shot Elena a dark look and called Nathan on the phone.When he picked up the call, Eva told him everything about what Elena did the moment she got to Thriving Dragon Bay.“Damn it!”Nathan could not hold back his anger and said coldly, “Wait for me!”He stepped hard on the gas pedals and hung up to make another call to Robert.Back at Old Langley Manor, Rebecca has just returned. Robert was telling her about the frustrating things that had happened r
Elena was taken aback and stood there motionless. Her mind turned completely blank. That was when the butler led a woman inside.The woman had brown, wavy hair and looked slender and sexy. She looked demure and dainty but had a sexy look in her eyes that was able to make a man crazy for her.She was the celebrity, Jade Rhimes, the woman whom Elliot cheated on Elena with.The look in Elena’s eyes turned sharp.“Talk.”She stared at Jade. Elena wanted badly to lunge at her. “Were you involved with Elliot Garner?”Elena hoped fervently that Jade would say no!That would prove that Elena was right and Elliot did not cheat on her. Her stubborn hatred for Nathan would then be justified. This would give her the courage to continue on.If it turned out that Elliot did cheat on her with Jade, it would mean that Elena had wasted all these years hating Nathan and she was the one who was absolutely in the wrong.The living room was silent. Ruby lowered her head without saying a word. Robe
