16 Rayland was never been yours!

[Los Angeles, California]

"I didn't expect the officials to accept my proposal so soon". "Caption... you are truly incredible! how could anyone deny your request? You even solved Rex's drug case and..." the man in the military uniform blushes as he saw the beautiful girl next to him. Jenny tilted her head "Seven, you know I am no more your caption so no need to brown sugar me and call me Jennifer". Seven avoided eye contact with her "I think I will stick to calling you 'Caption' ".

In Silver Spring's the morning was not as bright as Jenny's. James lost his usual charm and didn't say a word to the maid who accidentally spilled milk on the hand towel... Henry who always emits a stubborn aura seems to be an old man in his 70's. Sophie was doing her embroidery work which she never did it in her entire life. The total atmosphere in Rayland family's main house gives a vibe as they all had lost their hope.

But to the exact opposite Eve's mood was bright as the shining sun she wore a white lace dress. She playfully hopped on the steps and hummed in a cheerful way. But this was a total opposite of Eve's character! James the head butler who saw Evelyn's cheerfulness. This made his mood returned to normal. He believes his Miss would have a solution or might already have a plan to deal with Zanantious family.

Eve sat on the dining table all the dishes cooked today was her favorite. She saw a 60 years old man in his glasses with a basket full of British Columbia Cherries well riped in mid-August. 'He never forgets anything'. "Uncle James~ those Cherries... seems so delicious" Eve's eyes sparkled like a little child in a candy shop. James's heart filled with warmth 'He knows how much burden Eve faced in her young age. Which made her mature early than other children from her age. He simply hops Eve to experience what every normal girl would experience in her life'. "I hope this will make Little Miss happy" James placed the basket full of cherries on the table.

Henry was dumb-fold by these two acting as nothing had ever happened. How could Eve forget the thread of William...Henry's mind was restless. Eve finished her breakfast and bid her farewell to her granny Sophie who simply smiled and waved her hand and turned towards Henry. Henry opened his mouth to speak but nothing came out of his mouth. Because of his greed, He schemed against his granddaughter and joined hands with Zanantious Family. He sold much valuable information about Rayland's family business which could be used against them. He forgot how his granddaughter built a falling empire to the strongest with her own hands. How could he forget that!

Guilty charged Henry *Cough* "Uhmm Eve... Grandfather simply wants to expand the business" but his evil mind told him 'What's wrong with Eve marring William? If it happened Zanantious corporation will be ours!' and rephrased his words "Eve What's wrong in marring William? He is the most suitable groom for you. Hurry up and agree to marry him".

Eve's eyes turned cold she glanced her grandfather who was blinded by greed. Laughed herself "You don't need to consider yourself with matters related to Rayland Corporation. It was never been your property grandfather. Grandfather Hayden gave the company to my father (Robin Raylends) and after my father's death second uncle (Robert Raylend Jenny's father) was taking care of it and you know it well my father changed all the company shares to my name at the moment I was born into the world. The whole world can witness how I built the collapsing small company to a world's top three biggest Corporation". Eve raised her eyebrows and her lips curved upwards " Are you saying I don't know how to expand my business?". Without waiting for reply Eve turned and walked towards the entrance.

Jay open Rolls-Royce Phantom's door for Eve. "Jay, head back to home". Eve taught about how she yelled Henry a few moments ago... She never spoke to Henry in such a rude manner in her entire life. Even all fault lies on Henry's side something made her uncomfortable.

Eve called Zane "Zane, Cancel all the meeting for next 2 days and don't go anywhere. When I reach home I will text you Meet me at Rose Woods". Zane didn't understand Why but he simply replied: "Sure I will meet you at Rose Woods!".
