“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
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
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
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
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
Eva Lane had just received a letter from Europe.The letter was short, with only a few sentences: [Tomorrow night at nine, Room 2809, Imperial Hotel—your biological mother.]The words 'biological mother' hit Eva hard on the heart.She could not help but tremble. Clenching her fists, tears fell from her eyes quietly. Why was she not dead?She should have been dead by now.It was best for everyone if she died!That woman left her husband and daughter 20 years ago and went overseas. What was the reason behind her actions?Eva wanted to just pretend she had died. She was barely two when that woman left.Which mother in this world would be cruel enough to leave their daughter at an age when she had just begun to learn to walk?Following that, Eva’s life was completely overturned due to the actions of that woman who claimed to be her mother.Her father, who had been cold and distant for the past 20 years, found her a stepmother. That woman had a daughter, who became her stepsiste
"2806"Nathan lifted his eyes and stared at the tall building as his heart filled with contempt.Marriage and children were not in his plans at this point in his life, much less impregnating a woman he had no feelings for.However, he had no choice but to agree to this for the sake of the old man who was gravely ill.Nathan tugged at his tie impatiently and pushed Finn’s hand away. He said in a growl, "Go home. Pick me up tomorrow morning."With that, he went directly toward the elevator without waiting for Finn to reply.It did not take long before he arrived at Room 2806.He opened the door with the room card and closed it in one move.The lighting was very dim inside the room, but he could still make out a small, slender figure sitting on the sofa.Nathan did not waste any time as he went up directly toward the woman. "Let’s start. I don’t have much time to deal with unnecessary foreplay…"With that, he removed his tie and began taking off his clothes.It was not long bef
Eva glanced at her and was instantly filled with love. She gave the little girl a kiss on the cheek. “Thank you, my baby girl!”Returning the kiss, Mia Lane smiled sweetly. “You’re welcome!”Another baby-ish voice was heard saying, “Have some tea, Mommy…”A little boy of about four was holding a teacup. He had a fair and clean face with pretty features. He was wearing a white T-shirt and mini overalls. The stoic expression on his face made him look kind of cool. He had pretty lips and nice teeth like his sister.Eva quickly took the cup from him before giving the little boy a kiss on the cheek. “Thank you, my baby boy.”Max blushed slightly, but his tone was quite cool as he said, “I’ll help Mommy trim the leaves.”With that, he pulled the little stool over and began to help sift through the flowers.Eva’s heart warmed as she watched her kids being so well-behaved. It felt just like the burning glow of the sunset outside the window.It was at that moment that someone opened the
