Before Mason could give him an answer, another call came in.Mason had to pick up that call.This time, the call was from the chairman of another listed company. He said accusingly, “Mr. Young, Forrest Group’s share prices suddenly crashed with a drop of more than 50%. What exactly is happening?”Mason was stunned to hear that.His face darkened immediately. “Sean, turn on the trading app and check the share prices of those companies.”Sean immediately got to work and clicked on their company’s trading app.He was astounded to see the dashboard shown on the screen. Cold sweat dripped from his forehead.13 companies under Scope Investments that used to have healthy share prices had now crashed horribly.The amount was tremendous. Even the company with the least loss had its share price drop 13%. The largest crash was at 60 to 70%. This was a major loss on all levels.Mason realized this. There was a frightening expression on his face as he began wondering what was going on!Hi
Nathan walked down the stairs looking upset. He glanced outside.It was dark at night on the hill, and the surroundings were especially quiet. Only the rustling of the leaves could be heard when the wind blew.Yelena saw Nathan standing where he was. She went up to him to ask, “Mr. Langley, would you like some tea?”Nathan did not reject her offer. “Sure. Make me a cup.”“Alright.”Yelena immediately went to make some tea.Not long after, she came back with a cup of tea for Nathan.Nathan’s face fell immediately when he took a sip. “Make me another cup.”This frightened Yelena, who began to stammer. “Is… Is there anything wrong?”Nathan did not explain, and all he did was say, “Change it.”The tea in his cup was black tea.It was Mason’s favorite!Yelena immediately turned to make a different cup of tea.Nathan’s face turned even darker.That was when Old Mr. Lane came into the room.He wheeled his wheelchair over to Nathan and asked with a smile, “How about a chat?”Na
Eva immediately stood up at this thought. She smiled at Mason and said, “I feel better now that I know Lucy will be coming over to take care of you. Mia and Max are still at home, and I’m worried about them. I’ll be leaving first. Remember to rest well.” Mason paused, and his lips moved. He wanted to ask her to stay but did not say anything in the end. He nodded bitterly. “Alright. Drive safe on your way back.” Nodding, Eva then left hurriedly after grabbing her keys and purse at the side. It was already 11 at night when she returned to the estate. All the lights were still on inside the house. Eva wondered if it was because the children had not yet gone to sleep. Her gaze swept at the Rolls-Royce still parked at the side as she frowned slightly. Could Nathan have played too long with the children? She strode inside quickly and entered the house. Only Nathan was left in the living room. The man sat alone on the sofa elegantly. Ther
Eva turned to look away as she passed him the pajamas. However, she accidentally touched the tip of the man’s fingers. His fingers were slightly cold, but Eva shuddered at the touch as it felt like an electric current had flowed through her body. She quickly pulled her hand back and ran off without looking back. Nathan, on the other hand, did not feel anything at all from inside the bathroom. After he was done showering, he walked out in his pajamas. They surprisingly fitted him well. Even though the style was a little outdated, Nathan managed to make them look fashionable, as though they were donned by a professional model. When Eva saw him after taking her shower, she could not help grumbling about how unfair the world was. Why did this man possess so many superior qualities? While she was quietly complaining about him, Nathan looked over at her. Eva was wearing a set of conservative pajamas. Her hair fell on her shoulders, and her face
Eva was almost laughing in anger. “Are you kidding? Why should I wash your clothes for you? I’m not your wife!” She paused after saying that. Eva had just realized what she just said and felt her ears burn. “I’ll get Yelena to wash them for you.” Before Nathan could reply, she went downstairs with the children. Nathan stood in the room as he kept replaying what she said in his mind. Not his wife? Wife... Hah! A smile appeared on his lips as a dark look flashed in his eyes. … After Eva had breakfast with the children downstairs, she brought them to school. Before she left, she instructed Yelena, “I’ll have to trouble you to help Grandpa with breakfast.” “Sure, Miss Lane.” Yelena replied readily. She looked up the stairs and asked, “Urm... Miss Lane. Are you going to leave Mr. Langley upstairs like that?” Eva’s expression froze. She looked a little uncomfortable. “Let him do whatever he wants.” Yelena did not dare ask an
The teachers went up to greet her when they saw the principal. “Miss Cruise!” Emma nodded in reply. She pointed at the little boy next to her and said, “Miss Linderman, Miss Cheney, this is our new student, Zack Sachman. He'll be joining your classes from today onward. Please take good care of him.” Miss Linderman and Miss Cheney looked at the little boy. He was bigger than the other children. Despite being five or six, he looked more like a seven or eight-year-old child. They were a little taken aback to see him physically larger than the other children. They said, “Sure, Miss Cruise. We'll look after him.” Before Emma could say anything else, the middle-aged husband and wife spoke up, “Take good care of our Zack, you two. Don't let him get bullied by the other children.” Miss Linderman and Miss Cheney nodded with a smile. “This won't happen. His classmates are good kids.” Despite their reply, both were thinking that it would be lucky if this couple's physi
The kindergarten was in chaos because of Zack's appearance. Three children had been continuously bullied, and the other children now had a look of fear on their faces after they saw what happened. All of them hid behind their teachers and pointed at Zack. “He's a bad person. Don't play with him.” Saul and Jenna were furious to hear that. They got increasingly unhappy when they saw how the teachers and Emma reacted to this. Saul and Jenna immediately went over to carry Zack in their arms. They glared at Emma as they demanded something to be done. “What's wrong with you? Didn't you understand me when I told you to expel that child?"Do you still want to be the principal of this kindergarten? I can make you lose your job with just one word.” Emma was not intimidated by their threat. She stood up and said, “Mr. Sachman, you've seen for yourself how your son bullied the other children. Max didn't do anything wrong. Why should he be expelled?” Saul glared at her. His plump
Eva arrived only to see the tense situation between both parties. When the children saw their mommy, they immediately ran toward her. “Mommy...” Mia’s nose was red from crying. It took a lot of effort for her to stop crying, but her tears were falling again. Eva’s heart was breaking. She quickly hugged Mia in her arms to comfort her. “Good girl. Don’t cry, alright? Tell me what happened.” Mia kept sobbing and could not say a word. Max replied on behalf of his sister, “It’s that bad boy’s fault. He messed up my jigsaw puzzle the moment he came here and destroyed Mia’s Snow Queen.” Eva frowned when she heard this and turned to look at Zack. Emma and Miss Linderman were relieved to see Eva arrive. They approached her with a bitter smile. “We’re sorry, Miss Lane. We didn’t expect things to turn out this way.” “What exactly happened?” Eva frowned tighter when she saw the handprint on Emma’s face. Miss Linderman immediately explained what happened to
