After Eva was done with breakfast, the workers from before arrived for work.It took a few days of hard work, and the land reclamation outside the estate was almost completed. The workers called Eva over to look at it.When Eva was inspecting their work, Nathan followed behind her.She frowned when she saw him and asked, “What are you doing here?”Nathan swept a glance at the dug-up soil and asked thoughtfully, “Are you planning to do some planting?”“What do you think?”Eva’s tone was still cold. “Thanks to you, the flower shop I had worked so hard to build up was destroyed. It’s only natural that I need to find another source of income.”Nathan raised an eyebrow. He did not deny this.He said gently, “I’ve already compensated you with this estate for what happened. If you need more help, I can introduce some companies to you and get them to purchase flowers and plants from you.”Companies associated with Langley Corporation were renowned and established.If they made an ord
Eva stopped and frowned. She glanced at Nicole coldly. “What do you want?”“What do I want?”Nicole took a deep breath, looking very upset. “What exactly is going on? How did you do it? Those are clearly bastards you had with someone else, but you managed to use them to seduce Nathan. "You’re more cunning than I thought. I’ve underestimated you! How about giving me a lesson on how you did it?”She did not hold back as she said those terrible words.Eva's face fell. “Watch your mouth, Nicole Pileggi. Who are you calling bastards?”Nicole burst out laughing. “Was I wrong? They are bastards.”Eva was enraged.She was about to lose her temper and give Nicole a slap when Nathan stepped up. He said sternly, “You should leave before I get mad, Nicole Pileggi. If you don’t, I’ll make sure the Pileggis pay a bigger price.”The man’s voice was cold and unfeeling. There was a cruel undertone in his words. His handsome face showed that he had no regard for their past relationship.All h
That afternoon, a luxurious Rolls-Royce arrived at a garage situated in a suburb of North City.This garage looked quite ordinary, but it was the gathering point of various kinds of people in North City. It was also where one was able to gather all sorts of information.The door of the Rolls-Royce opened, and Nathan stepped out from the backseat.He glanced coldly at the surroundings with a stoic expressionFinn stood behind him and said in a low voice, “Mr. Langley, Tyler Sullivan works mysteriously. If you want to find him, this is the place to start.”Nathan nodded subtly and glanced inside the garage.The garage employees had already noticed Nathan.They were quite smart. When they spotted the car, someone immediately ran inside to report it.It was not long before a plump middle-aged man greeted Nathan and Finn respectfully, “Welcome. I’m the owner of this garage. Can I help you with anything?”Nathan was someone who stood out from the crowd. Even when he stood quietly, o
There was an adoring look in his eyes as Nathan carried Mia in his arms.He looked at Eva with his deep, dark eyes and said in a low voice, “I’m here to take the children to dinner and bring them to meet their grandfather.”Eva frowned. She did not look willing to let them go.Things were happening too fast.She was worried that things were out of her control. Her lips moved, and she wanted to reject him.However, she shut her mouth before saying a thing.Things were now set in stone. There was nothing she could do even if she objected to it.Eva clenched her teeth and said, “I can agree to you taking them to meet your family, but you have to bring the children home later tonight!”“Of course.”Nathan agreed readily.Eva was still worried, so she added, “They have to be home before nine!”“Sure.”Nathan nodded once more.The children soon left with him.Only Eva and her grandfather were left at the dinner table.Eva felt empty. She was not used to this.Her children wer
The children knew their mommy was angry when they heard the tone in her voice. They approached her cautiously, “Mommy…”They called out carefully to her.Eva said sternly, “Who allowed you to accept these toys? Have you forgotten what I’ve taught you?”Max quickly shook his head. “No, we haven't. We have to study well and should not keep playing with toys.”“If you remember what I taught you, why didn’t you follow through? Face the wall!”The children’s little bodies jumped at Eva’s scolding. They pouted sadly and put down their toys as they went to the side to face the wall.The look in Nathan’s eyes turned a little cold at this sight. “Their grandfather bought them those toys. They’re all educational and will help them develop their intellect. You can’t use this as an excuse to vent your anger on them.”Eva was a little unhappy to hear that. “This is the way I’ve been educating them. Don’t stay here and watch if you don’t like it!”This made Nathan a little mad.Why was this
Eva had no idea that Nathan’s men had set up an observation area that enabled them to keep watch for anything happening within a three-kilometer radius. They used high technology and thermal-powered imaging to capture anyone going in and out. Even the smallest animal would be able to be captured by them. In addition to that, his men were also equipped with night vision goggles that could see almost anything moving during the night.Eva's face fell at being caught.They must have alerted the two bodyguards in front by now.“Mommy?”Max had never seen anything like this before and was frightened by what was happening.Yelena was also unsure of what to do. “What should we do now, Miss Lane?”Eva said nothing, but Old Mr. Lane sighed. “Looks like it isn’t going to be easy for us to leave.”Nathan Langley was a difficult man to deal with. He must have anticipated such a thing happening!The same thought crossed Eva’s mind, and her face turned ghostly pale.…Mason and the bodygu
Pamela and Queenie were upset to see Eugene so eager.They did not like to see Eva living a better life than they did.This was especially true when they found out she was involved with someone like Nathan Langley.Who did Eva Lane think she was? How could Nathan Langley be interested in a woman like her?!Compared to this, they were more willing to believe that Mason Young was the one who was involved with Eva.That was because it was easy to see how close their relationship was during the birthday party and also from the information they had gathered about them.However, that alone was reason enough for them to be jealous of Eva.Eva was nothing but a used woman. How could she have two outstanding men circling her?Queenie was green with jealousy at this thought.Pamela understood her daughter’s feelings and was still a little hopeful about all of this.There was a chance that they were mistaken about this!Just as Pamela was thinking about this, all three of them were sto
“You…”Queenie got mad at being berated in public.Eva was now an arrogant woman.Before Queenie could say anything more, Eugene and Pamela stopped her.“Stop your nonsense. Is that the way to talk to your older sister?” Eugene berated her.Queenie stamped her feet in anger when she saw her father scolding her just to get into Eva’s good graces. She turned and went toward the courtyard.That was when Eugene said, “You know how your younger sister can be. Please don’t hold it against her.”Eva grunted coldly. He was telling her not to hold it against her?She wanted to hold it against her very much!…Queenie was full of anger with nowhere to vent in the courtyard.She could only stomp on the flowers and grass in the courtyard.Yelena had just returned from the market and frowned when she saw this. She asked, “What are you doing?”Queenie turned to look toward the voice. When she saw it was an unfamiliar middle-aged woman, she asked, “Who are you?”Yelena replied, “I’m the
