Chapter 1066 One Thing Suppresses Another

Upon hearing this, Eve blushed again and had no way to refute it.

Lucia and Arthur observed the relationship between Eve and Lauren with both relief and concern. Was Eve, who was so innocent, really suitable for Lauren, who came from a complicated background?

Afterwards, the four of them didn't mention Nia again. Instead they chatted like friends.

Eve was amazed by Lucia's eloquence. She spoke gently with a kind gaze that made people want to get closer to her. Thinking of Daphne's praise for her made Eve admire Lucia even more. It would be great if her sister were like her...

Two hours later, Lauren finally left with Eve in tow. Although Lucia originally intended to have lunch together with them, their relationship was still in secret so they all understood why it wasn't necessary.

Exiting Webbex Group left Eve feeling exceptionally happy as she held hands with Lauren while occasionally glancing at him sideways with a smile on her face.

"What are you laughing about?" Lauren noticed her small movements and asked while smiling.

"I heard so much about your past today and felt very happy," said Eve grinning as she looked up at him.

"You never mentioned any of those things before," she added.

Lauren pinched Eve's hand after listening, then said apologetically, "Before I couldn't reveal my relationship with Arthur because of your sister's connection... and besides my identity is quite complicated, some things might scare you if I told you too early."

Identity?

Eve's smile slightly faltered for a moment when he mentioned his identity. To be honest, until now she had never thought about what Lauren did or how wealthy his family was or why he came to Athegate - always being cautious not to touch upon his privacy since getting close emotionally took effort on her part, which made him precious in her eyes.

But then again... she liked him just the way he was regardless of his status.

Thinking this over caused another wave of smiles on Eva's face, making Lauren curious since he had been observing every expression on hers. "Why don't you just ask me directly about my identity? If you ask me, I will definitely tell you."

Eve shook her head but continued smiling sweetly, "I like you regardless of your status, so unless it's necessary, there's no need for you tell me…of course," she added playfully showing off an impish expression,

"I am also curious."

What a silly girl!

Eve's innocence and liking moved Lauren. She never concealed her heart. Lauren would not care about the constant pedestrians on the street. He hugged Eve with his long arms and said softly,

"Don't worry. I will tell you."

... after dealing with your sister.

Since Nia returned to Stable Growth, she had been using every means possible to confront StandHill. The opposition between the two companies had reached a fever pitch, and whenever it came to each other's business and commercial activities, they will interfere with each other even if they cannot sabotage them.

This malicious competition had caused resentment among industry insiders, especially for those small companies that were weak and vulnerable, fearing that they may fall victim to this cut-throat rivalry.

Casper was feeling down, and his subordinates, including Leon, were the ones who bore the brunt of his frustration. They were getting yelled at almost every day and some of them had started to complain.

In their apartment complex, someone finally spoke up about Casper's cruelty.

"Lately, our boss has been so moody," one subordinate said while rubbing his forehead in remembrance. "I accidentally grabbed the wrong file today and he nearly smashed my head with a cup!"

"We followed him all the way from USA to Mexico and back again," another subordinate chimed in with a disappointed tone. "We thought we would have endless riches and glory but now everyone is living in fear... Leon, say something."

"What are you guys talking about?" Leon snapped back as he stood up to address everyone else. "Our boss is upset because of Nia and Kevin - those two jerks! We're just his subordinates. It's not like we haven't experienced some hardship before. Have you forgotten who provides for us? Who do we turn to when things get tough?"

The other subordinates hung their heads low after hearing Leon's words.

Sage also stood up at this point to support Leon's argument, "If it weren't for our boss bringing us together like this, we'd still be small-time crooks in USA struggling just to survive! We should be sharing his burden instead of complaining behind his back!"
