This boutique belonged to a famous French brand named ‘Only’. The designs here were the works of well-known designers, including wedding gowns. They were all one-of-a-kind.Mason had made an appointment prior. When they arrived, the ‘bride’ and ‘groom’ were led away by different boutique staff.Eva and the children followed Lucy.When Lucy saw all the wedding gowns that filled the boutique, she felt happy and proud. “Mason and I are finally getting married after being together for so many years.”“Yes, congratulations.”Eva agreed with a smile, but she was actually distracted.It was the dream of every woman to put on a wedding gown.However, Eva would never have a chance to put one on.It made her feel a little sad.Lucy’s expression fell when she saw the look on Eva’s face. She asked coldly, “What’s wrong, Eva? You don’t seem very happy. Your congratulations don’t sound all that sincere to me.”Eva snapped out of it and replied, “It’s not like that. You’re imagining things.
Eva soon let go of this feeling.She had to force herself to be strong. It was time to think about her future.Eva had her grandfather and children by her side, and they were enough for her.However, she had to feed her family, which meant she might not be able to constantly be by their side. She gave this some thought and turned her car around as she headed to a domestic agency. Eva planned to hire a nanny to take professional care of her grandfather and children.The domestic agency she found was highly efficient and very well-known in North City.Eva soon hired a middle-aged lady of about 40 named Yelena Zabinski.She referred to the lady as Yelena.Yelena was not local, so her fee was not too expensive. On top of that, Eva provided her with accommodation.After they were done negotiating, Yelena returned to her home to pack up. After that, she followed Eva back up the hill.When they arrived, Old Mr. Lane was enjoying the sun in the courtyard.Eva approached him with Yele
After hanging up, Eva waited quietly in front of the kindergarten for Nathan.Not long after, it was activity time at the kindergarten.A group of children rushed out of their classrooms and began having fun playing with the playground facilities outdoors.Mia and Max were attracted to the sight of the children having fun.An envious look appeared on Mia’s face. “Mommy, I’d like to play too.”Max said nothing, but his eyes betrayed his eagerness to join in the fun.Eva felt a little upset when she saw this. It made her feel useless.She and her children did not notice that the kindergarten’s principal happened to walk out and see them.An annoyed look appeared on her face. She called the security guard over and said, “Make sure those three get as far from here as possible. I don’t want them to be in contact with the children here.”The security guard was taken aback. He looked uncomfortable as he did not think it was the right thing to do.However, the principal looked at him
The principal shrunk back from being shouted at. She glanced at Finn and began sizing him up.After that, she continued being sarcastic. “You’re really something, aren’t you? You’ve got two men here to help you.”The expression on Eva’s face was cold.Finn said sharply, “Watch what you say or suffer the consequences!”The principal did not look scared. “That’s enough. No need to continue pretending here. I’ve said before that our kindergarten will not accept your children.”A dark look flashed in Nathan’s eyes. “A mere principal showing off to us? Finn!”Finn immediately got the message. He reported, “Mr. Langley, Elite Kindergarten is a branded education franchise found all over the nation. Their chairman is Charles Lovett of Lovett Group. If I remember correctly, the district manager here is called Kevin Jones!”The principal was a little shocked to hear Finn mention those names casually, but she quickly sneered. “What’s wrong? Thinking about lodging a complaint against me? Ju
The security guard at the side was quick to take action. He stopped her and said, “You've been fired, Ms. Clumps. You shouldn’t be causing any more trouble. Otherwise, I’m calling the police.”Many of the kindergarten teachers had heard the commotion.None of them were upset when they saw what happened to Laura. Someone even took the lead to applause.“Are we finally getting rid of that horrible woman? That’s great news!”“Ms. Cruise, I’d like to report Laura Clumps for accepting bribes from parents. She even deducted our pay and embezzled public funds. You mustn’t let this slide!”“Haha, she always abused her power as the principal and was so mean to us. She’s finally getting her just desserts. The world is fair.”Eva did not expect Laura to have committed so many wrongs. She was astounded to hear those accusations.Even Emma was frowning.She had always known Laura to be a problematic person, but it had never occurred to her that Laura had done so many terrible things.Emma’
Eva was stunned for a few seconds too. She immediately realized she said something she should not have. She quickly turned around and went off to boil some water as she pretended nothing had happened.Mason stood where he was. He could only see her.“Eva, what am I to you? What exactly is going through your mind?”He mumbled only loud enough for himself to hear.Eva came out with the tea ten minutes later and sat opposite Mason.He was elegant and gentlemanly as usual.Eva gave him a simple explanation of her plans. “I’m thinking of making use of all the empty land in the courtyard. I’ll plant some flowers and go into wholesaling them in the future.”She was very clear and concise when it came to work. It was only when she was at work that she would suddenly become sharp and efficient.Mason nodded in agreement. “This is a good plan. I can help you arrange some workers to work on the surrounding land.”Eva nodded. “I was thinking about planting rare flowers. It'd be difficult
It was ten at night.Hunter Langley did not expect to receive a message from Lucy in his suite in Supreme Club. [I’m in Room A001 at the Oriental International Hotel. I’m feeling really unhappy. Can you come over to accompany me?]The moment he read the message, Hunter rushed over to the hotel without a second thought.It took him less than ten minutes to get there.Hunter was about to ring the doorbell when he noticed that the room door was slightly open. It was not locked.He wondered about it as he pushed the door open.The moment Hunter walked in, Mason appeared from a dark corner of the corridor.There was a biting cold look in his eyes. No emotions showed on his face as he watched Hunter enter his fiancée’s room.It was obvious that Mason was the one who had sent Hunter the message to come to the hotel!Mason did not love Lucy, but he knew Lucy was close to Hunter.Hunter was also Nathan’s nephew. He had always wanted Lucy, and Mason decided to give them his blessing to
Lucy was hugging herself and sobbing uncontrollably.She tugged gently at the corner of Mason’s shirt and said while crying, “You have to believe me, Mason. I thought it was you…”Mason reached out to wipe away the tears from her eyes. “I know. I’ll call the police right now.”“Don’t you dare make that call, Mason Young!”Hunter began to panic.This could be solved in any way possible except by getting the police involved.However, Mason ignored him.Lucy was feeling a little frantic as well.She was a woman. If word got out about this, it would be the end of her reputation. She did not want this to happen.Lucy quickly grabbed Mason’s arm and begged, “Mason, please don’t call the police… I’m begging you. I won't be able to face myself if word about this gets out.”Tears streamed down her face as she tried to get Mason to take pity on her.She believed that Mason would never bear to see her get humiliated.Hunter finally pulled himself together. He stood up and looked Mason
