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
Eva swept a cold glance across everyone in the meeting room and said coldly, “All of you can go. Stay back, Candy. I have something I need you to do.”“Yes, Miss Lane.”Candy responded while her fingers continued tapping on the keyboard. All the higher management employees stood up to leave the meeting room. Nathan quickly went over to Candy.His movement was very quick, and he immediately pulled her hands away from the keyboard. Candy looked at him in astonishment as he pressed down on the laptop.“Maybe none of you should leave.”Nathan said to Eva, “It’s better than you announce this to everyone here.”Announce this?Eva wanted to object to this but nodded when she saw the stern look on Nathan’s face. She got everyone to return to their seats.Everyone took their seats, and Nathan placed Candy’s laptop in front of Eva. There was a secret mailbox on the screen that Candy was trying to clean out, but she did not manage to delete it in time.Eva read the contents of the emails
“What happened this time?”Renee looked at her angrily and yelled, “We’re already embroiled in a lawsuit. What else could be worse than that? Speak up properly. What are you being so flustered about?”Her secretary was startled by her sudden outburst. She quickly nodded her head in a fluster and forced herself to calm down before reporting to Renee and Camden.“Miss Skrull, Mr. Skrull, our lawsuit with Lane Enterprise has been exposed. There's public outcry and demand for an update on this case. They're demanding for Jadora to be punished, and the news is now trending online. "Many people are talking about this. You should read it for yourself. The media is refusing our request to stop the news from going out.”Renee's and Camden’s expressions turned pale when they heard this. They quickly turned on their laptops and phones.They went online and clicked on the trending news. What appeared was their lawsuit with Lane Enterprise.Details had been outlined, and there was also ment
Candy’s hand trembled slightly as she looked at the card in her hand.“Mr. Langley, Miss Lane, what is this?”“Ten million.”Nathan said coldly to her, “You’re worth more than this with a talent like yours. Camden doesn’t recognize talent when he sees one, and you shouldn’t belittle yourself so much.”There was a look of pity in his eyes, and even Eva was looking at her the same way. Candy was astounded. She held the card in her hand blankly.This was a bank card that did not require a name printed on it. She knew about this card as she often managed business operations. Anyone with a card like this could withdraw money from the bank.Nathan and Eva had given her one.Candy stood quietly where she was. The little card in her hand suddenly felt heavy.All words sounded pointless now.Nathan and Eva sat lazily on the couch and refused to budge after they returned to Thriving Dragon Bay. The children approached them happily to perform their talents, but Nathan and Eva were too ex
Sophia quickly regained her confidence with encouragement from Eva and Nathan.She inhaled gently and said to both of them, “Mr. Langley, Eva, I’ll make sure to work harder. The arson case is still being investigated, but we’ll have some results soon. Camden was only fined this time, and his company will suffer a loss at most. "He doesn’t lack money, and it won’t be much of a blow to him. But if he has anything to do with the fire, we can definitely make sure he goes to prison!”Eva smiled approvingly at this. “That sounds good.”Nathan listened quietly but was smiling with satisfaction.Sophia was a rare talent.Whatever happened this time would make her even more careful at work. Eva felt good about having Sophia look over Lane Enterprise.…Meanwhile, at Rose Hotel in Cloud City, a man and a woman were sitting on a bed in a room on the second floor. It was exquisitely decorated, and there was a light, fragrant scent inside. It was supposed to be a moment of passion betwee
The news report stated clearly that Eva started with a company that sold flowers. It did not garner much attention then.Not long after that, she bought Lane Enterprise and became the CEO of the company. During that time, Lane Enterprise operated as usual with a market value of ten billion maximum.However, she soon bought over Lovette Group.Eva purchased the assets of the Lovettes, and her company grew rapidly with a breakthrough to 50 billion. Moreover, she had the support of Langley Corporation, which increased the company’s market value by three to four times.That was the beginning of her amazing capabilities.She was worth a market value of over 300 billion.The news report was exaggerated and not based on any truth, which made it even more embarrassing for Eva. Nathan pinched her face and kissed her on the cheek.“What an amazing person my woman is.”He gushed at her, “You’ll probably end up being better than me if you have enough capital.”“That’s impossible.”Eva gl
The children cheered happily when Eva agreed to it“Yay! We can finally watch our Disney movie!”They were happy about it, which made Eva feel good to see them so cheerful. Even Eugene smiled and said, “You should take the children out for some fun. It’s the first day of the company’s listing and a good day to do something fun.”Everyone agreed, and even Nathan nodded in approval. Eva smiled as they drove to Disneyland with the children.They started the day with the children’s request to watch the movie.The children loved the movie, but it was a little boring for Nathan and Eva. Fortunately, the plot was somewhat interesting, and the popcorn was delicious, which got them through it.When they walked out of the movie theater, the children were still feeling enthusiastic. Eva decided to let Nathan and Eugene take the children to have fun at the theme park.Eva was pregnant and could only be their photographer.They had a lot of fun that day, and the children had innocent yet be
Hunter was brusque with them, but Queenie was unperturbed. All she did was look back at him arrogantly.Hah!Hunter felt uncomfortable with the way she was staring at him. He was about to lose his temper when he heard her sneer, “Stop showing yourself off as a Langley for now, Hunter Langley. "I’m here to propose a lucrative partnership. I believe you’re aware that the product sold by Lane Enterprise right now is a hot commodity. Are you interested in being a part of it?”Lane Enterprise’s floral series?This perked Hunter’s interest.He knew about it, and he was very interested as well. Eva’s product was doing crazily well in the market while he, James, and Sue could only watch as she profited from it. There was nothing they could do.What could they do about this?Hunter sat opposite Queenie and Camden. He looked at them carefully before finally speaking up, “Do you have a way of getting into this business?”“Of course.”Queenie gave Camden a seductive look. Camden immedia
James sighed heavily and said in a low voice, “Your Aunt Elena has been forced out of the country by Nathan. There’s nothing we can do about it. Your grandfather has sided with Nathan, and she has no choice but to stay in Europe.”Europe.Hunter clenched his fists.Elena had been in charge of the family business in South America, and her connections were there. Sending her off to Europe meant that she had to start from scratch.Nathan was pretty ruthless to leave Hunter and Elena with nowhere to go!James was glad to see Hunter being furious about the situation. Hunter turned toward James again and asked, “What about Ruby, Dad? She can’t have been chased off as well.”It had been days since Hunter managed to contact her.There was some spark between them, and Ruby did not mind that he was divorced. She was the only woman whom Hunter felt something for in North City.James clenched his teeth at Hunter’s expectant look and nodded.“She was forced to leave the city after Sebastia
“I hope you won’t harass us anymore, Wanda Emerson.”Wanda laughed coldly at the other end of the phone when she heard Eva’s words. Eva’s words sounded more like a joke to her instead of a statement.Once she stopped laughing, she said tauntingly, “You must be imagining things. This is just the first step.”What?This was just the first step?Eva burned with fury instantly as she said with clenched teeth, “I’ve already done what you told me to. What else do you want, Wanda Emerson? I won’t give in to you!”She was not Wanda’s puppet who could be pushed around. She was a human being, a person who had a soul and was made from flesh and blood!Wanda should stop threatening her!It was as if Wanda had heard the determination in Eva’s voice. Wanda’s fingers gently fidgeted as she continued coldly, “If you don’t listen to me, I’ll lay my hands on Nathan Langley instead. It’s easy for me to poison him if I want to.”Eva lost her last strand of reason at this point.Why did Wanda hav
Eva was lying silently in bed back in the bedroom. She had not recovered, and she felt quite exhausted because she did not sleep the night before. All she wanted right now was to have a good rest.Nathan opened the door gently.“Eva.”He called out softly. Eva quickly sat up and hurried up to her to help. He did not want her to exhaust herself.“Did I disturb your rest?”“No, you didn’t.”Eva sighed gently. “My mind is occupied with something, and I couldn’t sleep. Nathan, can you chat with me for a while?”“Sure.”Nathan sat next to her, and his palm gently brushed down her hair. She felt ticklish and laughed softly.They were silent for a while before Nathan spoke up.“Didn’t you have something to say to me?”“I did.”Eva lay next to him and said in a low voice, “I thought about it last night, Nathan. Lane Enterprise has just begun developing, and our foundation isn’t stable. "If Langley Corporation is able to work with Lane Enterprise, it'll be a big help to us. I’d st
Eva did not notice Rose. All she did was clench her phone tight.She was waiting for Wanda’s answer.Why did she want Eva and Nathan to have cross-shareholding? Even if she did that, she would only own 5% of Langley Corporation’s shares. Why did Wanda want her to become a shareholder of Langley Corporation?Multiple questions appeared in her mind, and Eva felt like her head was about to explode. However, she took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down as she listened quietly.Wanda was silent for a few minutes before saying coldly.“You don’t need to know the reason.”A simple sentence was enough to destroy Eva’s hope. She clenched her teeth and forced herself to calm down as she growled at Wanda.“What did the Langleys ever do to you? You’ve been plotting all of this from the very start. Are you trying to use me against the Langleys?” Wanda sneered when she heard this. “You guessed right.”Her laugh was cold. It was like a dagger that stabbed right through Eva’s heart
Scott chatted with everyone for a while before pulling Nathan away to talk in private.“I need help, Nathan.”Scott said to him in a low voice, “What should I do when meeting the parents for the first time?”Meeting the parents?Nathan looked at him in astonishment. When he saw how serious Scott was and how he did not look like he was joking, Nathan began to advise him carefully about this. “You need to make this grand and prepare gifts that they like. Also, be polite and respectful. Any other things are fine. The most important thing to do is to leave them with a good impression.”“Alright.”Scott made a note of everything Nathan said. Nathan smiled teasingly when he saw how seriously Scott was taking this. “Why are you so anxious about this?”“Of course, I am. She’s perfect in every way. I don’t want to lose her.”Scott’s eyes were filled with adoration and happiness when he replied this. Nathan felt happy for Scott when he saw Scott looking this way.As long as Scott was
Nathan was being honest.After the trial ended and Jadora was out of the picture, the floral series became a hot commodity in the market. Client demand had soared several times over.“The cosmetics market yields a high profit, and Langley Corporation has always wanted a piece of the pie. But Lane Enterprise got into it first. If you’re agreeable, I would love it if our companies could work on it together.”Moreover, they were husband and wife.Nathan would not be able to trust another business partner completely, but it was different with Eva.When Eva saw the adoring look in his eyes, her decision to get him to invest began to waver.Did she really want to do what Wanda said?Even though she had no idea what Wanda wanted, she was sure that Wanda wanted to attack Langley Corporation. She would be relentless about it.Getting Eva to obtain shares from Langley Corporation might be the first step in Wanda’s plan to destroy Nathan.Eva could not allow this!She clenched her teeth
