After about 20 minutes, Gavin appeared at Thriving Dragon Bay with both men.One of them was called Casey Eckerson, and the other was Tommy Bane. Casey was about 30 and claimed to have learned martial arts directly from expert masters in Chinose. He was quite prim and proper in his dressing, looking like a proper master himself.Tommy, on the other hand, was plump and round. He looked about 40 and down to earth. He looked like an honest and hard-working middle-aged office worker. No one would think he was a fighter.Nathan frowned but did not reject either of them.“Mr. Langley.”Gavin smiled when he saw the sullen look on Nathan’s face. “These gentlemen are expert fighters. If you have any doubts, you can test them out with your bodyguards.”Nathan looked at his bodyguards at this point.Darren immediately understood what Nathan meant. He led three other bodyguards to face Tommy.“I apologize in advance, sir.”“Come on.”Tommy did not seem to mind as he replied calmly. Darre
“You didn’t even hit me, Max.”Mia clapped her hands gently. “Why don’t I protect you in the future instead? Don’t worry, Max. I won’t allow anyone to bully you. I’ll beat up whoever dares to bully you in the future.”Max could no longer hold his smile back.What an adorable sister he had.“Your brother is just giving in to you.”Tommy gently rubbed Mia’s head and said in a low voice, “Look, he didn’t even need to use his best move to fight you. He has been playing defense all this time without attacking. You have to work hard. If Max takes the fight seriously, you won’t be able to win him.”Was that true?Mia turned to the smiling Max and held his hand.“Don’t give in to me, Max. I want to win you fair and square!”“Alright, I won’t give in, but you’re actually really good at fighting.”Max stuck his tongue out. “Come on, Mommy is waiting for us to have dinner in the living room.”Mia finally let go of this after Max comforted her for a while. She left for dinner happily wi
Eva thought about this. She decided to leave Tommy at Thriving Dragon Bay with Darren and the bodyguards to protect the children while she left with Casey and the other bodyguards. She quickly got into the car.“Mommy!”The children ran to the car and gently patted the car door. Their adorable little faces were stuck to the window. “Come home early, Mommy. We’ll miss you.”“Alright.”Eva could not just leave like that. She opened the door and kissed them both on their foreheads. “Don’t worry. I'll be home soon. Be good and wait for me at home.”The children nodded obediently after she comforted them, but they kept looking at her until her car disappeared from sight. Only then were they willing to return to Thriving Dragon Bay.Eva was feeling anxious and instructed the driver to speed up. They drove onto the highway and headed straight for the factory location given by Sophia.Before they reached the factory, they could see thick smoke in the air from a few hundred meters away.
“Miss Skrull, are you telling the truth?”“Was there really a fire at Lane Enterprise that caused all the raw materials to be burned? They won’t be able to produce their products anymore?”“What’s the difference between your floral series and Lane Enterprise's floral series?”The reporters threw questions continuously at Renee, but she did not panic. She brushed her fingers through her hair gently and smiled at everyone.“It’s true. You may confirm the news of the fire with Lane Enterprise, but the fact they can’t deliver their orders on time to their customers is an irresponsible thing to do. "It's only right that consumers be able to request compensation from Lane Enterprise if they're unable to deliver their products within the agreed time.”Renee smiled after that. “Jadora’s floral series are produced using the best quality materials that are guaranteed to fulfill everyone’s needs. We welcome everyone to order from us.”The livestream ended at that point. The reporters bega
Eva breathed hard after hanging up. Her fingers clutched the phone tightly as she frowned. Her face was filled with anger. That bitch, Queenie, was behind this!Eva was wondering why Jadora suddenly chose to fight against Lane Enterprise and even insisted on pushing out a floral series to take her business. Everything made sense now.Queenie was the culprit causing this!Renee and Camden were a pretty stupid pair of siblings to have been made use of by Queenie. Hah!Eva looked extremely upset, and Sophina quickly came over. She gave Eva a glass of warm milk and said softly, “Don’t be angry, Eva. It’s a good thing that we know who's behind this. It'll be a big help to us when we strike back in the future.”“You’re right.”Eva bit her lip, and a cold look appeared in her eyes.She would make sure that Queenie paid the price for this!After Eva gave instructions on the next step to proceed with the purchase of the raw materials, she turned to leave the company immediately. Sophi
The ‘Mr. Lane’ Sophia was talking about was Eva’s father, Eugene.Eva quickly went to Sophia, who looked anxious, and said, “Calm down. Talk to me slowly. What exactly happened?”“Pamela Jackson reported him.”Sophia was trying to catch her breath as she said in a low voice, “Pamela Jackson provided evidence of Mr. Lane evading taxes. He has just been taken away by the tax bureau. Lane Enterprise had some issues with their accounts previously, but it doesn’t affect our current operations. It was mostly handled by Mr. Lane.”Eva frowned at this.Nathan came over as well when he saw Sophia looking like she was in a hurry. He happened to overhear her. He sighed.Pamela and Queenie were a pair of vicious mother and daughter!Eugene used to be Pamela’s husband while he was Queenie’s father. However, they did not care about this relationship and were ruthless enough to do something like this!“What should we do now, Eva?”Sophia said a little anxiously, “Tax evasion isn’t a small ma
Eugene was taken aback to hear Eva’s reply.“Compensate?”He looked at Eva carefully and said in a low voice, “Eva, I don’t have much money now. If I really have to compensate, it would be a fine three times the amount. I…”Eugene choked back a sob in the end.That was ten million.If he were to pay the fine, it would be 30 million. He had to rely on his salary paid to him by Lane Enterprise and some business dividends. He did not have that much money.Where was he supposed to get it?He could not make himself ask Eva and Nathan for the money because of pride. He was already getting old. How was he able to earn that 30 million?This was all there was to life!Eva knew what Eugene was worried about when she saw the look on his face. She cut to the chase, “It’s only ten million. There isn’t much problem with that. I can afford it even if it’s three times the amount. The most important thing is that you make out of this okay.”She was paying it on his behalf!Eugene was stunned
Everyone got excited when they heard this employee’s words.This was Nathan Langley, the undefeatable legend of Langley Corporation!With him around, Lane Enterprise could get through any crisis. Nathan would never watch Eva go bankrupt just like that.He was Eva’s pillar of support and the company’s God of Wealth!The glum atmosphere among the employees immediately dissipated at this realization as everyone was instantly motivated to work. They were convinced that the company would make a profit with Eva and Nathan in the company.Many of them began to work on recovering the situation.Nathan had no idea that his trip to the company would have such an effect on the employees. He went all the way to the top of Lane Enterprise and into the meeting room where Eva was.He saw Eva staring at a huge stack of files the moment he entered the door and burst out laughing. Nathan went to her and poked Eva gently on the head.“What are you staring at?”“Oh, why are you here?”Eva stretc
