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
A few minutes later, Mrs. Wilson returned to the kitchen with a piece of paper in her hand.“This was given to me by the chef, Mrs. Langley. It’s a recipe for dinner that I can try out tonight. The chef said that making this will earn me some brownie points with my employers.” The chef left that behind?Eva grabbed the recipe and looked at it carefully. She was taken aback to see red wine-poached pear on the menu.This dish required a huge amount of red wine. After it was cooked, it would taste fragrant and sweet with only a slight tinge of alcohol. Max and Mia enjoyed it.However, Max had a sore throat and had just taken some antibiotics. He could not have anything with alcohol after taking the medication as it might create a Disulfiram-like reaction that might be lethal.This was Wanda’s ruthless plan!Eva felt a chill on her back. She knew that Wanda was giving her a warning that she had to do as Wanda said.That she-devil!Eva bit hard on her lip. She could not control he
