Chapter 49 

The next morning, Nova proactively showed up at the Langdon residence with a corporate lawyer in tow. 

Inside, Mrs. Langdon was already pacing furiously over the recent collapse of their company’s stock. When the doorbell rang, she assumed it was just another debt collector. Ripping the door open, she snapped aggressively, “Banging on my door first thing in the morning! Didn’t I tell you the money would be paid?” 

As the words left her mouth, she looked up and froze at the sight of Nova standing on her porch. 

Nova was dressed in a pristine white sundress, her sleek, dark hair cascading down to her waist. Her large, expressive eyes held a captivating allure. Though still young and yet to fully mature, she already radiated the undeniable aura of a stunning woman. 

“You are…” 

Mrs. Langdon stared blankly, genuinely failing to recognize the girl in front of her for a few 

seconds. 

Nova offered a polite smile. “Mrs. Langdon, it’s me, Nova.” 

Realizing who it was, Mrs. Langdon’s jaw practically unhinged. 

It had only been a few months. How had the overweight girl she remembered transformed so drastically? 

“Nova? Is that really you?” 

Mrs. Langdon looked utterly bewildered. Nova replied smoothly, “I got tied up last time, so I wanted to make a special trip to visit you today. You aren’t upset with me, are you, Mrs. Langdon?” 

“Why would I ever be upset with you? Come in, hurry, come inside.” 

Mrs. Langdon’s face split into an eager, beaming grin. 

She was absolutely thrilled that Nova had shown up on her doorstep. 

How could she possibly be mad? 

“You’ve gotten so beautiful, sweetie. I almost didn’t recognize you.” 

Chattering happily, Mrs. Langdon ushered Nova into the lavish living room. 

“Are you here to see Caleb? I’ll call him and tell him to get his ass home right now. God knows where that boy ran off to. I’m going to give him a piece of my mind!” 

Mrs. Langdon practically sprinted to prepare tea, but Nova smiled and stopped her. “Please

don’t go out of your way. I didn’t come here to see Caleb today. I came to see you.” 

“Me?” 

Mrs. Langdon looked thoroughly confused. Nova gestured to the man standing beside her. “This is the legal counsel for our family business. We’re here today to discuss a share buyout.” 

“A share buyout?” 

Mrs. Langdon’s heart skipped a beat, suddenly terrified that Nova was here to seize their remaining assets. 

Nova continued smoothly, “My father heard that your company is experiencing some severe liquidity issues. Given that you still hold shares in our business, he specifically asked the lawyer to come over and offer to buy out your stakes in the Donald company at a premium, hoping it will help you tide over this crisis.” 

Nova’s words were coated in sugar, but the underlying implication was crystal clear: they were cutting financial ties. 

Mrs. Langdon hesitated internally. It was true that their family was drowning in debt. If they didn’t come up with cash immediately, this very house was going to be seized and 

auctioned off. 

But if she handed over their shares in the Donald family business, they would lose their only remaining source of passive income entirely! 

“Nova, since you brought this up, I actually have a huge favor to ask you.” 

Lowering her pride completely, Mrs. Langdon pleaded, “Since Caleb’s father passed, we’ve relied so much on your family’s kindness. But right now, we are in our darkest hour. Do you think your father would be willing to extend a helping hand and loan us some emergency funds? I swear on my life, once the company recovers, we will pay it back immediately! Besides, your family holds shares in our corporation too. If we bounce back, your dividends will skyrocket!” 

Watching Mrs. Langdon’s desperately earnest expression, a cold laugh echoed in Nova’s mind. 

She knew perfectly well that this shameless woman was going to beg for a massive bailout.
