Eva agreed, and Nathan helped her up.However, Eva began stumbling after a couple of steps.The effect of her drink was strong, especially because she could not hold her liquor. It was difficult for her to sober up, and Eva had already done very well by hanging on until now.Sighing, Nathan carried her in his arms again.โBe good.โNathan whispered in her ear. โYou can sleep now. Iโll take you home.โโOkay.โEva gently tugged on his shirt. She was like an adorable furball that was curled up softly in his arms. Eva leaned her head against his chest and closed her eyes.She felt safe when she was with him.Nathan burst out laughing when he heard her stable breathing when he put her down in the back seat of his car.What a docile woman.All it took was a glass of mixed liquor to turn her into this. He decided to never allow her to go out drinking on her own in the future.It was close to nine by the time he drove back to Thriving Dragon Bay. The nanny had already tucked the ch
Rose arrived at Langley Corporation early the next morning with some documents.When she entered the CEO's office, Nathan was busy reading some documents on his table.โNathan.โRose smiled gently and placed her documents on his table. โThese are the projects my company is planning to develop. Can you take a look at them and see if there's anything that needs to be improved?โ Nathan frowned and took them from her, but his eyes were cold when he placed the documents in front of him.Rose was surprised to see him act this way. โWhatโs wrong? Did I make you angry, Nathan?โHe had never treated her so coldly this way!Nathan finally spoke up frostily.โYou were the one who got Eva to deliver flowers to the private room last night, and she ended up getting drunk. She was almost molested by a man when she walked out of there.โRoseโs eyes widened in shock when she heard this.Eva was almost molested!Rose took a deep breath to calm herself down. She quickly looked at Nathan and a
Rose had already made a booking at the best seat, and she led Eva and Nathan there.โOver here.โShe clapped gently with a smile on her face, and the waiters immediately appeared with the menu. Rose placed it in front of Eva.โThis is my apology to you, Eva. Go ahead and order. You donโt need to save money on my behalf.โโSheโs right.โNathan added, โRose is very rich.โโIโm not as rich as the CEO of Langley Corporation.โRose rolled her eyes at Nathan and smiled when she looked at Eva.While they waited for Eva to order, Eva looked at the dishes' names on the menu.She had often heard about the famous Lotus Garden. The Lotus banquet prepared by the experienced chef here astonished many socialites who heaped praise on the food, claiming that it was delicious and good for their skin. They were loyal followers of this restaurant.However, Eva had never been here before.Every dish was made with lotus. There was lotus cake, lotus pudding, lotus and duck, and many more. Eva felt
Lucy said slowly with a cold look on her face, โUncle Nathan, you're the one who caused Aunt Elena her pain. Do you really think you deserve to live a happy life with Aunt Eva like this? Donโt you feel guilty at all?โThe air turned silent.Rose glanced angrily at Lucy. Even a gentle and warm person like her wanted to duct tape Lucyโs mouth.This stupid woman!Everyone knew the passing of Elenaโs fiancรฉ was her greatest pain. Even Nathan had been pulled into this now that Lucy mentioned this in front of everyone. Elenaโs pain had been exposed publicly.Nathan and Elena looked very upset.Hunter quietly squeezed Lucyโs hand, but it was pointless.โI see Lucy is unhappy with me.โNathan was the first to break the silence. Everyone could feel his anger as they felt the temperature around them drop a few degrees. He looked at Lucy quietly, but there was something about the way he stared at her that made Lucy back away.He was just too frightening!โPlease donโt misunderstand me,
Anton and Colton Silva were seated opposite Sebastian Garner in the Garners' residence. A hot pot of tea was brewing between the three of them.The fragrance of the tea filled the room, but they were not feeling as calm as they would be on a usual day.โAre you telling me the truth?โSebastian stared at both of them. โNathan Langley had something to do with my sonโs death?โโYes.โColton nodded. โSebastian, weโve been friends for decades. Do you think I'd keep something like this from you?โSebastian stared at the pot of tea in front of him silently.He was actually aware of that.His sonโs death was his greatest pain. Sebastian had investigated his death thoroughly, and the thought of Nathanโs cold expression made him feel even worse.Why was his son the person who died and not Nathan Langley?This involved a descendant of the Garners.He wanted revenge!Colton sighed when he saw the hesitation in Sebastianโs eye. Anton obediently placed a document in front of Sebastian. H
Nathan felt much happier with the children's and Evaโs gentle comfort.โIโm to blame for this.โHe held the children in each hand and kissed them on the forehead gently. โI shouldnโt come home in a bad mood just because I had a bad day at the office. Iโll be more careful next time.โโItโs fine.โEva smiled warmly at him. โHome is where youโre able to vent. Itโs your shelter from the storm outside. Where else can you vent your bad mood if not with your family?โShe suddenly stopped talking at this point.Eva realized her words sounded a little too intimate.She coughed awkwardly and turned to walk into the kitchen. โYou just came home, and I have a lot of spare time tonight. Iโll cook dinner for everyone.โโYay! Mommy is cooking!โThe children cheered and sat on the sofa obediently to wait for her.To the children, the best food was the one made by Eva.It was the taste of their mother's cooking and also the taste of home. Eva walked away very quickly, but Nathan still mana
As the audience cheered, the team captain of Rainbow Club, Jordan Shaw, looked at Max coldly.Max was a very good player, and Felix should send him out for international tournaments.However, Max was also the greatest obstacle for Rainbow Club!After the individual qualifying round was over, Nolan and Max returned to their teams to prepare for the team qualifying round.Max had won the individual tournament, and he had to prepare for the individual all-star tournament.This would be a major milestone in his life.At the resting area of UN Club, Felix was looking at Max happily while Eva, Nathan, and Mia hugged him.Mia gave Max her favorite lollipop.โYouโre incredible, Max.โโMia is right. Our Max is the best.โEva rubbed his soft head of hair with a smile as she kissed him on the cheek. โYou won, Max. I never thought you could be so amazing.โMax had been unbeatable since he had started playing.He was amazing, and Eva was glad that she had listened to Nathan and allowed
Everyoneโs eyes widened as they stared at Max.โNo!โEva disagreed shrilly. She shook her head vigorously. โDonโt you know how serious your injury is, Max? We need to get you to the hospital right now!โHow could he still think about the tournament?His hand could not move as agilely as before!Eva was insistent. Even though Felix really wanted Max to continue with the tournament, he could only clench his fists tight when he saw Evaโs reaction.โYou should let this go, Young Mr. Max. Itโs best that you get some rest. Weโll forfeit this tournament.โIt hurt Felix to make this decision.Getting into the top eight had not been an easy journey, and they were about to get into the top four. UN had not gotten any championships for the past two years, and Felix did not want to waste this opportunity.However, something like this had happened!Felix looked coldly at the resting area at Rainbow Club. He noticed how happy Jordan was while Nolan had his head lowered. He could not see No
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 companyโs 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.โWhat an amazing person my woman is.โHe gushed at her, โYouโll probably end up being better than me if you have enough capital.โโThatโs impossible.โEva gl
The children cheered happily when Eva agreed to itโYay! We can finally watch our Disney movie!โThey were happy about it, which made Eva feel good to see them so cheerful. Even Eugene smiled and said, โYou should take the children out for some fun. Itโs the first day of the companyโs listing and a good day to do something fun.โEveryone agreed, and even Nathan nodded in approval. Eva smiled as they drove to Disneyland with the children.They started the day with the childrenโs 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, โStop showing yourself off as a Langley for now, Hunter Langley. "Iโm here to propose a lucrative partnership. I believe youโre aware that the product sold by Lane Enterprise right now is a hot commodity. Are you interested in being a part of it?โLane Enterpriseโs floral series?This perked Hunterโs interest.He knew about it, and he was very interested as well. Evaโs 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, โDo you have a way of getting into this business?โโOf course.โQueenie gave Camden a seductive look. Camden immedia
James sighed heavily and said in a low voice, โYour Aunt Elena has been forced out of the country by Nathan. Thereโs nothing we can do about it. Your grandfather has sided with Nathan, and she has no choice but to stay in Europe.โEurope.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, โWhat about Ruby, Dad? She canโt have been chased off as well.โIt 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 Hunterโs expectant look and nodded.โShe was forced to leave the city after Sebastia
โI hope you wonโt harass us anymore, Wanda Emerson.โWanda laughed coldly at the other end of the phone when she heard Evaโs words. Evaโs words sounded more like a joke to her instead of a statement.Once she stopped laughing, she said tauntingly, โYou must be imagining things. This is just the first step.โWhat?This was just the first step?Eva burned with fury instantly as she said with clenched teeth, โIโve already done what you told me to. What else do you want, Wanda Emerson? I wonโt give in to you!โShe was not Wandaโs 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 Evaโs voice. Wandaโs fingers gently fidgeted as she continued coldly, โIf you donโt listen to me, Iโll lay my hands on Nathan Langley instead. Itโs easy for me to poison him if I want to.โEva 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.โEva.โHe called out softly. Eva quickly sat up and hurried up to her to help. He did not want her to exhaust herself.โDid I disturb your rest?โโNo, you didnโt.โEva sighed gently. โMy mind is occupied with something, and I couldnโt sleep. Nathan, can you chat with me for a while?โโSure.โNathan 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.โDidnโt you have something to say to me?โโI did.โEva lay next to him and said in a low voice, โI thought about it last night, Nathan. Lane Enterprise has just begun developing, and our foundation isnโt stable. "If Langley Corporation is able to work with Lane Enterprise, it'll be a big help to us. Iโd st
Eva did not notice Rose. All she did was clench her phone tight.She was waiting for Wandaโs answer.Why did she want Eva and Nathan to have cross-shareholding? Even if she did that, she would only own 5% of Langley Corporationโs 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.โYou donโt need to know the reason.โA simple sentence was enough to destroy Evaโs hope. She clenched her teeth and forced herself to calm down as she growled at Wanda.โWhat did the Langleys ever do to you? Youโve been plotting all of this from the very start. Are you trying to use me against the Langleys?โ Wanda sneered when she heard this. โYou guessed right.โHer laugh was cold. It was like a dagger that stabbed right through Evaโs heart
Scott chatted with everyone for a while before pulling Nathan away to talk in private.โI need help, Nathan.โScott said to him in a low voice, โWhat should I do when meeting the parents for the first time?โMeeting 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. โYou 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.โโAlright.โScott made a note of everything Nathan said. Nathan smiled teasingly when he saw how seriously Scott was taking this. โWhy are you so anxious about this?โโOf course, I am. Sheโs perfect in every way. I donโt want to lose her.โScottโs 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.โThe 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 youโre agreeable, I would love it if our companies could work on it together.โMoreover, 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 Wandaโs plan to destroy Nathan.Eva could not allow this!She clenched her teeth
