Anya’s POV:Buzz… buzz…As I was sleeping, my phone suddenly rang.I picked up my phone on the bedside table. It was Kester!“Jester? What are you calling me for this hour?”On the other end, the line Kester’s worried voice replied, “Anya, have you seen the news?”“What news?” I rubbed my eyes, confused.“Check on your cellphone and read the entertainment news!”Hearing that my heart skipped a beat as I had a very bad feeling about this.I still remember how badly I had been roasted six years ago. Back then, I was still that innocent girl, and even thought about jumping off the roof to end my life. I prayed that it would not happen to me ever again.I shivered and unlocked my phone. And in an instant, more than five notifications popped up. And they were all about me.“After hooking up with her brother-in-law and getting kicked out, Anya Walter has moved to her next victim!”“The former lady of X city fell out with her family for inheritance. Her father was kicked out of the board, an
Evan’s POV:I left for my office early in the morning. I wanted to take care of my business affairs first before going back to my game with Anya.When I entered the meeting room, all the executives of the group were already sitting tightly with grim expressions on their faces.“Good morning, Mr, Cater.”As soon as I entered, they all greeted me.“Let’s get started!” I said as I stopped at the end of the long conference table and sat down.My secretary turned on the projector in a hurry and then served me a hot cup of coffee.One after another, the executives also turned on their laptops, ready to take notes!“We will focus on three aspects today, and…”I said as I opened my laptop, but my voice broke the next second.As soon as I opened the laptop, a picture popped out.Moreover, my laptop was connected to the projector so everyone in the room was now looking at a naked picture of a man on the big screen!‘What the hell!’All executives exchanged shocked glances and some of them were,
Evan’s POV:As soon as I entered the elevator, my eyes fell on Anya and Kester, who were standing at the side.At the movement, Kester’s arms were surrounding Anya’s shoulder. They look like a sweet, intimate, and perfect couple!Seeing this my face turned cold.“Anya Walter! What do you think you have done? You think you little prank will work without everything out?”Anya frowned deeply as she looked at me with her puzzled eyes. “What are you talking about?”I sneered at her, “Yeah, like you don’t know! Nice try! You know what? I could charge you for stealing information from the Carter group right now. That’s enough to put you behind bars for eight or ten years!”Anya’s face fell as she looked at me in confusion and asked, “I don’t understand any of that. You are going to charge me for what?”Huffing I grabbed Anya by the jaw! “For trespassing! For hacking into properties! For stealing my business information!”This seemed to irritate Kester as he pushed me away and said coldly, “I
Evan’s POV:I didn’t expect that being tugged on my tie by her like this, give me an erection. It seemed as if my body was still missing her. Hence, I didn’t break free, instead, I stepped forward a little and pinned her body against the conference table!Though I hated this scheming bitch to the core, I just couldn’t help myself to have a physical reaction when I was with her.“Ha, like it wasn’t you who photoshopped my nude photo,” I said.Anya took a glance at the nude photo on my phone and snorted with a sneer. “I am not that bored. And if it was me, I would have done the photo much better!”Hearing this, I snorted even louder. “Who knows if you had done lousy work on purpose? After all, you have a record. Isn’t that kind of your specialty?”Anya looks utterly furious. “I tell you one last time. I have never plotted against anyone. I have never… managed to sleep with you. I was framed. Believe it or not, I don’t care!”I leaned over the conference table, trapping her there. “It do
Evan’s POV:These four years of separation had tortured me like hell. I tried not to think of Anya, but she and her body haunted me day and night…So, the only thing I wanted to do right now was to conquer her.However, as I was about to get what I longed for, the rapid and loud knocks on the door interrupted me.‘What a bummer!’ I cursed.Then, I let off Anya at once.“You stay here and don’t go anywhere!” I ordered as I tidied up my clothes hastily.Then, I walked out of the door as if nothing happened.“Tina? What are you doing here?” I asked, resuming my usual demeanor.“I came to see you. I heard you were going to sign a contract with Anya. So, I decided to stop by.” Tina replied, with a sweet smile on her face.Then, she looked in the direction of the bathroom and asked, “Where is Anya? Isn’t she here?”Hearing that, I frowned. “The contract is signed. Let’s go now.” I said, putting my arm around her shoulder.Just then, the bathroom door opened, and Anya stormed out of it, stra
Looking at Anya, who came out of the bathroom in disheveled clothes and red eyes, my face turned ghostly white!After all, it didn’t need to be a genius to know what happened back in the bathroom, after looking at her.The thing I dreaded the most happened at last.Evan had never fully forgotten Anya and I know it.I tried my best to hide the hatred in my eyes, as Evan was still there, and I didn’t want to ruin my image in his eyes.However, I clenched my fists and thought to myself, ‘I will not give that bitch a chance to flirt with Evan again!’Frowning, Anya looked at me and asked, “What are you doing?”However, I merely snake. Then, I turned around and slammed my head against the wall. In an instant, my forehead was swollen.Then, I collapsed on the floor and started moaning, “Ouch! It’s hurt. Don’t hit me, Anya! Please help!”And as I expected, Evan heard my voice and rushed inside in a hurry.Then, he walked up to me and asked, “What’s going on?”I held my head, looked at Anya i
Anya’s POV:Looking at them, I sneered. ‘Did they think that I was easy to bully!’After being a single mom for years, if I didn’t even know how to protect myself, then how I will be able to protect my children? So, I always carried a tapered the size of a lighter in my pocket.“How dare you taser me?” Evan asked fixed his murderous eyes on me as if a falcon was targeting his prey.I staggered back a little, but still, I managed to calm myself down. “It was self-defense. If you come at me again, I will call the police!”Evan snorted with angry laughter. “Call the police? Well, go ahead!”Of course, I know, how can he, as the number one man in X city, how can he be afraid of the police?To put it bluntly, even the local government needed the support of the Carter family! Even if the police came, they would side with Evan!“Don’t be angry, Evan. Anya don’t mean to…”However, before Tina could finish her sentence, Evan scoffed, “It’s none of your business. This is between her and me!”“R
Anya’s POV:“Anya it is not the end Tina growled. “You will pay for this.” Then she hurried out to chase after Evan.“Evan… Evan… wait for me. Evan, I didn’t say anything to her. You have to believe me!”Soon, her voice trailed off down the corridor.They were finally gone.I sat on back my chair. A palpitation attacked me again and my face turned ghostly white.Rose pushes the door open and hurries in. She looked at my pale face and asked with concern, “Miss Walter, are you okay?”I massaged my chest for a while and finally let out a long sigh. “I’m fine. Get me a cup of coffee!”“Yes!” Rose answered and went to fetch the coffee at once.Rose had been with me for a long, but she had been very disciplined, and she never asked the things she should not know. That’s why, when I came into the Walter Group, I put Rose by my side immediately.At lunchtime, as I went to the break room for some coffee, the conversation between the few employees, fell into my ears.“Wow, is this Miss Walter?
Evan’s POV:“It was almost Christmas.”“Yeah, it's already the 20Th today. It will be Christmas in five days,” I said, as I subconsciously took two cigarettes from my pocket.Just as I was about to light up, I remembered that Anya had told me smoking, so I held it in.“You can smoke if you want.”“Forget it. It's not good for you to inhale second-hand smoke.”As I spoke, I continued to look at Anya’s abdomen. “Why is no news yet?”“What?”I teased, “What do you think?”She then glared at me in frustration. “We already have three children. We won’t have any more.”“Who says that? I want three more.”“Three more? Do you think I’m a psychological machine?”“Even having just one would be fine. When Jason, Jerry and Flora were born, I was not by their side. I didn’t even have to see them as babies. So there is still some regret.”“Let’s not talk about this anymore. It’s all in the past.”“Do you still hate me?”“I don’t hate you anymore.”I chuckled, “Nonsense! You wanted me dead before, a
Tina’s POV:As Zachary spoke, I abruptly rose to his feet, casting an uneasy gaze at Evan. He seemed to suspect that Evan had arrived to hold him accountable for something.“I heard that something happened to Jenny, so I came over.” After Evan finished speaking, he gestured for his assistant to hand over the flowers and nutritional supplements.Seeing this, Zachary felt a little more at ease. “Oh, so that’s how is it.”I smiled at Anya. “Anya, you are here to see Miss Garcia too?”Anya looked at me in surprise. “Tina, why are you here too?”“I am now Mr. Garcia’s secretary. Of course, I have to serve Mr. Grace 24 hours a day.”“Are you tired?”I smiled sweetly, “No! Mr. Garcia treats me very well.”“That’s good!” Anya patted my shoulder gently.I looked at Evan sweetly and said, “Hello, Mr. Carter!”Evan didn’t seem to hear me. He only looked at Zachary’s forehead, “What happened to your head?”“Oh, it’s nothing. I accidentally bumped into it!”Evan looked at him with a half smile, hi
Zachary’s POV:Once my parents were out of sight, I could no longer keep up the facade.Agonizing, I clutched my head and desperately exclaimed, “Sigh, what am I supposed to do? If Jenny awakens and reveals the truth to our parents, how will I handle it?”Witnessing my distress, Tina let out a cold snort, her skepticism evident. She rebuked, “She has not even regained consciousness yet! How can you be so certain she will wake up?”Those words indicate fire within me, causing my anger to erupt instantly. “Tina, that’s enough! What are you insinuating? Are you secretly hoping my sister won’t wake up?” I exclaimed in furry.“I never said that.” She retorted defensively.“She is my sister. How dare you to curse her like that?” I questioned in a fury.She responded sarcastically, and her tone dripped with malice, “Aren’t you the one who worried about
Evan’s POV:In the blink of an eye, it was already noon. The passage of time reminds us of the pressing task at hand.I checked the time on my watch, my gaze shifting from the ticking hands to Anya. “It's already noon. Let’s go for lunch.” I said as I suggested.“Okay,” she replied in acknowledgment, her weariness evident in her voice and the slight rubbing of her tired eyes, her dedication to the work task is unwavering.The two of us left the office. Our footsteps echoed through the corridor.Coral approached us with a serious expression, interrupting our thoughts and reporting. “Mr. Carter, I heard that Miss Garcia fell down the stairs. She is currently in the hospital.”“Really? When did it happen?” I replied in surprise.“It happened a couple of days ago. I heard her injuries are severe, and she still has not regained consciousness.” Coral informed, his voice
Anya’s POV:In the office, I took a deep breath and exhaled. “Evan, did I overreact just now?” I asked, my voice filled with uncertainty and self-doubt.“No, your performance was excellent,” he said, giving me a thumbs up, his eyes shining with admiration.“Really? Don’t lie to me,” I pleaded.“Why are you losing confidence now?” He said, hooking his arm around my waist, drawing me closer. He looked at me affectionately and indulgently as he gently lifted my chin, his touch reassuring and comforting.“Last night, you deliberately pretended to be asleep and didn’t do the assignment. Now you must make up for it.” He said his voice teasing, his hands playfully wandering. A mischievous glint sparkled in his eyes.I frowned and turned to the side. My frustration is evident. “Oh, come on. Can you not be childish? Seriously? Can you act more maturely?” I asked my tone a mixture of expression and logging for seriousness.“How I am immature?” He replied nonchalantly, his eyes filled with tende
Anya’s POV:The previously grumbling individuals suddenly became dejected resembling mute statues.Evan had made it clear that anyone who opposed him would be kicked out of the Carter Group.Who would dare to speak up now?“Alright, I have finished speaking.” Evan said, his eyes looking at Mr Collen, “If anyone has any objection or opinions, please speak up now.”“You,” He pointed at Mr Collen as he said, “You want to express your opinion earlier. Now is this time.”“Mr. Collen’s throat tightened and he stammered, “Uh, well… I have no objection. I fully support Mr. Carter’s decision.”Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes widened in shock.Author’s POV:He was the one who had been most vehemently opposing the decision just now, rallying everyone to join the opposition.But now, as soon as the threat of expulsion from the cartoon group was aroused, he was the first to back down.Sing that everyone remains silent, Liam couldn’t sit still any longer. He said carefully, “Evan, it's not that
Anya’s POV:I began to feel inexplicably nervous at the conference room entrance, my heart pounding rapidly, “Evan,” I whispered, my voice filled with unease. I am still a bit nervous. Will they give me a hard time later?”He chuckled and adjusted the collar of my shirt as he quietly encouraged me, “Don’t worry.” He said teasingly, “If anyone gives you a hard time, just summon the courage you had when you confronted me before.”He leaned closer and added, “You dared to challenge me, so why would you be afraid of them? Come on, show me a fierce look!”I glared at him. “It’s already such a critical moment, and you still have the mood to joke?” I retorted, my frustration evident.“Relax,” Evan said, his tone half-relaxed and half-serious, “No matter how formidable they are, can they be more formidable than me? Why would you be afraid of them if you dared to challenge even me?”He smiled mischievously and continued, “If anyone gives you a hard time, just hit back fiercely. If you can’t wi
Anya’s POV:Having fallen into the trap yesterday, the reporters were even more determined today. Their thirst for information from Evan was unquenchable. It seemed they would not give up until they achieved their goal.Contrary to his evasive attitude the previous day, Evan now calmly faces the camera lenses of the journalists. “Yes, I have officially passed on the position to the president of Carter Group to Miss Walter.” He revealed as he maintained a composed demeanor.“Miss Walter is now the new president of the Carter Group, feel free to interview her and ask any question,” Evan announced, his voice carrying a faint smile.With that, he smoothly pushed me into the spotlight, directly in front of the eager reporters.Camera flashes nearly blinded me and a sea of microphones thrust forward, each vying for my attention.“Miss Walter, can you confirm that you have taken over the Carter Group?” The reporter inquired, their voices filled with anticipation.“Is it true that you and Mr.
Anya’s POV:The Carter family’s dinner time was usually at seven in the evening. Evan used to work overtime often, so the children did not have to wait for him to come back for dinner.“Flora, how are you today? Are you feeling better?” Evan lovingly carried his daughter.Flora smiled sweetly, “Yes, I am much better now.”“Mm, From tomorrow onwards, Daddy and Mommy might have to stay longer at the company for work. I am afraid we won’t have much time to accompany you! Let Lillian take care of you, okay?”“Oh, alright!” Flora’s eyes lost bright suddenly.Seeing the disappointment in the children’s eyes, Evan smiled lovingly, “Daddy will take you out. Christmas when Daddy is done with work.”“Alright, it’s a deal.”“It’s a deal!”Evan had taken advantage of the limited time to hand over his work to me as soon as possible so that I could quickly familiarize myself with the company’s work model and management.Otherwise, when we were caught off guard, the consequences would be catastrophi
