My Mommy Is A CEO

Realizing that she had pushed away her last support, Nia was filled with regret. She wanted to knock on Eve’s door and plead her case, but the memory of Lauren’s fierce glare stopped her in her tracks.

Lost and confused, Nia didn’t know how she made it back to the small villa. When Kevin greeted her in the living room, she couldn’t find the words to speak.

“Did you go see Eve?” Kevin asked worriedly when he noticed something was off about Nia. She had glanced at her phone before getting up and leaving without a word earlier.

“It’s over,” was all Nia could think to say about their situation.

“What do you mean ‘it’s over’?” Kevin held onto Nia’s hand and realized how cold it was. “Nia, what happened?”

“Eve said she decided to seek treatment for herself. I impulsively confronted her about it and we got into an argument… and then I just lost control.”NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.

Kevin knew exactly what kind of person Nia could be without even hearing everything from her mouth. He felt helpless because he couldn’t stop her from making mistakes again and again.

“Lauren said he won’t help me anymore… I bet even Eve doesn’t want to see me now…” Despair filled every inch of Nia as she looked up at Kevin for answers.

The damage had already been done but luckily their company was doing well right now. Even though they wouldn’t have Lauren’s support anymore, they still had a chance if they continued developing steadily into the future.

“Don’t worry,” reassured Kevin confidently. “Our company is thriving right now. I refuse to believe that Casper can beat us with just his own power alone! Plus, you’ve already found Libby so soon enough Casper will have trouble on his hands.”

“Do you think Libby has started taking action yet?” asked a hopeful but uncertain-looking Nia as she lifted up her head towards him once more.

“If someone were in her shoes right now as a mother, would they be able stay calm? Of course not!” chuckled Kevin reassuringly while flashing a smile at Nia.

“Just relax. Let’s wait patiently for things unfold themselves naturally while I focus on building our network connections instead during this time period.”

“Miles may work for Athegate but he has never openly supported Casper before so we can count on him too! Trust me when I say this. We will definitely win!”

“I’m glad you said that,” Nia breathed a sigh of relief, burying herself in Kevin’s arms. “Besides, I know Eve’s personality. Although she said some harsh words today, I’m her sister after all. One day she’ll have to come back and beg me.”

After speaking, she even chuckled smugly.

On the day they left Athegate, Lucia, Arthur, Kane, Juliana, as well as Eduard and Daphne all went to the airport to see off Eve and Lauren. Eve looked very unwell; her whole body was limp and she didn’t speak much. Everyone knew what had happened; even Juliana didn’t try to cheer her up.

Daphne wasn’t feeling well today. Eduard didn’t want her to come but she still did anyway. Holding Eve’s hand tightly, Daphne whispered,

“Eve, cooperate with treatment when you get to the USA. We’re all waiting for good news from you.”

“Mm-hmm,” Eve felt guilty seeing the dark circles under Daphne’s eyes, “I’m sorry that you guys had to come send me off with this situation.”

“What are you talking about?” Juliana hated hearing polite words like these; she patted Eve on the shoulder, “We’re so close now that we don’t need blood ties anymore in order for us to be good friends.”

“Juliana!” Kane saw how quick-witted Juliana was at poking into other people’s business so he pulled her back beside him.

“It doesn’t matter,” Eve smiled bitterly, “This day was bound to happen sooner or later.”

“Even if you were mentally prepared for it,” Lucia was always considerate; first nodding apologetically at Juliana across from them before continuing on with Even, “Let it out if your heart is heavy. Don’t suppress it! You have someone by your side who can take your anger out on him without fear of retaliation.”

Hearing Lucia’s words made Eve feel better despite feeling upset inside – constantly turning around just looking at Lauren standing behind her.

Should she scold him? She hadn’t tried doing that yet.

“You really listen closely when Lucia speaks!” Lauren could tell exactly what Eve was thinking just by one glance – his tone biting down hard between his teeth.

Eve giggled suddenly, feeling much more relaxed than before.

Lucia always had this kind of charm.

“Blood ties can never be broken,” Arthur suddenly spoke up after being silent this whole time. He looked seriously at Eve while saying, “As her younger sister, how should you treat her is still important no matter what happens but don’t overdo it. Whatever decision she makes is her own business.”

Eve blinked then nodded slightly and understandingly. Arthur’s words always made sense. Then, she smiled gently.

“I don’t hate her. I just won’t blindly obey anymore,” she said.

“It seems like Eve is making the right decision,” Juliana felt relieved and let out a sigh of relief. She was afraid that she had spoken too quickly and hurt her,

“Even if she treats you badly, there are still a few of us. You’re the youngest, so we’ll all treat you like a little sister. You don’t lack sisters.”

Eve was deeply moved by Juliana’s words. She had never experienced this kind of emotion outside of her family before. Even though there was no blood relationship involved, it still felt so warm.

“Don’t be touched,” Lucia reached out and pinched Eve’s tearful face and said, “When you come back healthy, there will be plenty of opportunities to hang out together again. There is more than just family in this world. There is also our friendship between us. Cherish your love with Lauren. The future looks bright.”

“Mm-hmm!” Eve replied heavily as she remembered Lucia’s words – the future looks bright!

“Okay then, we should go now.” Lauren wasn’t one for goodbyes. When he saw that it was almost time to leave, he began urging Eve.

Eve nodded and bid farewell to everyone one by one. Daphne was the most reluctant to let go, holding onto her hand saying,

“Hurry back. Maybe you can catch my baby being born.”

“I will definitely come back!” Eve promised solemnly on a sunny day in April as they set off for USA with hope alongside Lauren.

As soon as Eve and Lauren left, everyone’s lives returned to their usual routine except for Athegate financial market. The competition between Fabulous Dav’s and StandHill continued unabatedly with malicious intent towards each other. And it became more frequent despite union intervention several times which proved futile after some time.
