Jerry’s POV:
As soon as Emily brought me back home, Ora came over.
“Jerry you’re back!” She asked with concern.
“Yes, I am back! Where is Jason?”
“Mommy asked Maria to send Jason to V city!”
“Oh…”
“Are you alright?”
“I’m fine. Don’t worry.” I forced a smile.
When I saw my mommy crying so badly just now, I knew that she must be upset.
However, I was still young and didn’t know how to protect my mommy. I could only be more obedient and try not to make her worried.
“Where is mommy? Why didn’t she come with you?” she asked.
“Oh, Mommy with Mr. Helsen.”
Hearing that Ora stopped asking.
Anya’s POV:
About an hour later, under Kester’s comfort, I my emotions gradually calmed down.
“I’ll send you back!”
“Okay.
Employee’s POV:“Oh my God, look Mr. Walter has cut ties with Miss Walter.”“Why is that?”“I don’t know. I heard that it becomes Miss Walter always hooked up with Mr. Carter, which angered Mr. Walter!”“What a mess this rich family is in! Since Miss Walter and Mr. Carter are divorced, why do they have to get involved with each other?”“That’s right! They are family. Why must they make it such a disgrace?”“If you ask me, none of them are good people. They are all responsible for it!”“However, the fact that Mr. Walter is so determined to serve his father-daughter, relationship with Miss Walter showed that Miss Walter has indeed broken Mr. Water’s heart.”“That’s right, Miss Walter has already announced that she would kick Mr. Walter out of the board of directors. How ruthless this is.”“No
Anya’s POV:After all, I had built a factory in M City and had already invested a lot of money. It was also because I had the Wind group and the Beta groups ordered that I was more confident.But now the two companies had canceled 80% of their orders, the factory in X city alone could do it, and there was no need to build a factory in M city at all.“How did this happen?”“They said that there were too many negative impacts from the Walter Group. They were afraid that we won’t be able to rush through out the supply. Therefore, they canceled 80% of the order and continue to cooperate with the Carter Group!”Hearing this my heart skipped a beat, and I weekly fell onto the chair.Needless to say, it was Evan who was behind this.If he didn’t put pressure on the Wind group and the Beta group, they would not be willing to bear the penalty of canceling the Walter group's orders.It had to be
Anya’s POV:Hearing that, I was so angry that the pain shot through my heart, and my hand holding the phone was trembling.“Evan Carter, can you not be like this?”“Then, what do you want me to do?” Evan’s nasal voice was very heavy, as he sounded amorous.“I need to meet you.”“Give me a reason why should I meet you?”“I just need to meet you. There is no other reason.”Evan said playfully, “Perhaps, I can consider meeting you if you change the word ‘need’ to ‘want’!”I exhaled and suppressed my anger, “I want to see you!”“How much do you want it? Hmm?”His voice carried a hint of teasing, and his teasing was extremely infuriating.I could no longer suppress my anger and scolded, “Are you crazy?”“Yeah, what a clever girl! You even know that I’m crazy.”My patience has completely worn out. “Are you going to meet me or not? If not, then forget it.”“Is this the attitude of a person wanting to meet another? Who knows I might agree to meet you if you ask me in a nicer and gentle tone.”
Evan’s POV:Anya took a deep breath. It was as though her eyes were shooting flames as she pleaded. “Can you not suppress the Walter Group covertly?”“What are you saying? We are all businessman here, so there is no such a thing as suppression! Besides, you said, did yourself. It’s the client’s freedom to choose who they want to work with! Therefore, you should be questioning the Wind Group or the Beta group instead, not me!”When she heard those words, she choked in anger. “Alright, fine. You win. I’m done!”After swirling the wine glass a few times, I gently took a sip of the red wine.I smiled wickedly at Anya.I have been doing business since I was 15 years old. After so many years, I had long been honed into a cunning businessman.It was simply foolish for her to think that she could go against me. She overestimated herself. I could suffocate her with just a pinch of my finger.“This red Wine is not bad. Have a taste.” I said as I passed the red wine in my hand to her.However, s
Anya's POV:It was as if I was pressed under a mountain, and it fell as though all my bones of body were about to break.I know that this would happen if I met him alone. In this emergency, I had no choice but to not dare to resist anymore.I know that the more I resist, the more violent he will be.He would “torture” me like a madman.It was as I was expected.Seeing that I didn’t resist anymore and had given in, he stopped being so rough with me.After a while, he let go of me and started to unbutton his shirt.It is one opening for me.I immediately took a stun baton from my pocket! Then, I aimed it at Evan and electrocuted him!He was caught off guard and instantly felt jolts of electricity go through his body.I pushed him away with all my might and climbed down the sofa immediately.“Evan Carter, I won’t let you touch me again. And I will never give in to you!”After I finished speaking furiously, I didn’t bother to tidy my messy hair and fled out of the office in anxiety.After
Anya’s POV:I had run out of the Carter Group.Even though I had already walked out of the building, my heart was still pounding. I had almost been raped by Evan again.Thinking of the scene just now, I couldn’t help but feel a lingering fear. I know Evan could look and is aware that he would certainly not let the matter rest.I walked aimlessly on the street, my mind was in a mess.Beep, beep.Just then, my phone rang, which startled me.I took out my phone and looked at it. Fortunately, it was not Evan but Kester.I calmed myself down and answered the call. “Hello, Kester!”His soft and husky voice comes from the other on the line. “Anya, what are you doing?”“I’m not doing anything! What’s wrong?”“We have not seen each other for a few days. Let’s have a dinner together.”“Okay!”“Then, I will go to your company to pick you up in a while.”I paused and subconsciously looked at the surroundings of the high-rise building and felt dizzy for a moment.“No need. Where are you now? I wil
Anya’s POV:In the past month, I have been most afraid of running into reporters.Although I hid every day, I still came across reporters from time to time.It made me look like a thief when I went out now.“Sorry, no comment!” I said.A media reporter quickly extended a microphone to Kester. “Mr. Helsen, may I ask when your movie will be released? Besides, someone reported your media company for tax evasion. Is that true?”Kester’s face darkened. He looked straight at the camera and said, “Our company has never evaded taxes. The tax bureau is welcome to investigate at any time.”“So, when are you and Miss Walter getting married?” The reporter asked again.“What do you think about the relationship between Miss Walter and Mr. Carter?”“Have you always been protected Miss Walter?”The questions asked by the reporters were getting more and more harsh.“Get out of the way! Don’t ask me such a boring questions!”Kester was greatly infuriated. He protected me and squeezed out of the crowd.
Evan’s POV:At 9:00 AM, I arrived at the Walter group aggressively.Till now almost all employees were already there. So, as soon as I came over, they greeted me.“Hi, Mr. Carter!”Everyone seemed to be shocked to see me here.However, it’s normal for them, because I had not come to the Walter Group for a month.I entered the conference room.All the senior executives had arrived, except for Anya.“Where is Anya?” I asked.Daisy quickly got up and reported. “Miss Walter didn’t come to the company today.”Hearing that, I couldn’t help but frown. “Why is she absent from work again?”“Miss Walter has gone to M city.”“When will be she back?” I questioned.“Maybe in a week!”“In a week?” Hearing that, I frowned even more.“Yes, Miss Walter said that she would stay at M city this week. I will be in charge of conveying the work agreements.”Hearing that, I didn’t say anything, turned around, and left without looking back.As I went, I could hear employees whispering to each other.“Mr. Cart
Anya’s POV:Miranda came back after buying some food.Seeing me in a daze, she hurriedly went forward and asked, “Anya. What’s wrong?”“Something happened to the company,” I said as I pushed my hand into my hair.The Walter Group was already like a candle in the wind right now. Now, it was pushed to the center of this storm. It was very likely that the Walter Group would be destroyed.Especially at this time, I didn’t know where else I could raise so much money.Six hundred million dollars!With companies current stock value, even if I sold all my shares, I would not be able to raise $600 million.Miranda’s eyes darkened, “What happened to the company?”“In short, it's a very tricky matter. The Walter Group is very likely to be bankrupt!”“Is it that serious?” Miranda was also frightened.I didn’t speak, feeling lost and helpless.Miranda’s eyes turned red, “Anya, how much do you need? I still have ten thousand dollars here. Just take it first.”I smiled bitterly and leaned weekly on
Tim’s POV:The more I listened, the more irritated I became. These women only cared about money.If she didn’t mention money, the Helsen family would certainly not let her be short of money, because we were such a wealthy family. However, she kept asking for money by all means and didn’t actually care about Kester at all. Which was really repulsive.“Wait till the labor first! During this period, you are not allowed to go anywhere. You must stay here and wait for the delivery.”“Huh? I don’t think you should make me do that.”I completely lost my patience. I stubbed out the cigar in my ashtray and said to the bodyguard beside me, “Keep her under guard. If anything happened to the child, she doesn’t need to be kept alive anymore.”“Yes, Mr. Helsen!” The bodyguard said and went forward to snatch her arm.“Miss Ellen, please come with me.”She seemed to be in pain when the bodyguard snatched her. She blacked out and almost lost her balance.“Mr. Helsen, I will give birth to the child, bu
Evan’s POV:In the parking lot, I sat inside the car and smoked one cigarette after another.At this moment, I wanted to go up and see Anya. However, I was afraid of bumping into the Helsen family members.“Daddy, we are back!”“Mm-hmm, Let’s go!”The two little fellows got into the car, and the driver started the car and drove out of the parking lot.“How is Mommy now?”“Daddy, Mommy’s very sad!”When I heard this, a hint of disappointment appeared on my face. There was an indescribable feeling in my heart.Anya’s POV:After I recovered some of my strength, I immediately got off the bed.I intend to go to see Kester.When Miranda saw this, she hurriedly went forward to dissuade me. “Anya, your body is still so weak. Rest more. You have not slept for two or three days. If this continues, you won’t be able to take it.&
Anya’s POV:I don’t know how long I have been unconscious.I suddenly woke up from my dream, “Kester… Kester…”“Anya, you are awake?”“Mommy, you are finally awake!”I opened my eyes groggily. What greeted my eyes was Miranda’s anxious expression, as well as Jason and Jerry’s adorable faces.“Jason! Jerry! Why are you here?”“Mommy, you are finally awake. Daddy send us here.”Upon hearing this, I struggled to sit up.“Anya, you are weak now. You must not get up.”Jason said with his tears, “Mommy, what’s wrong?”“Don’t be afraid. Mommy is fine. Where is Flora?”“Flora is sick. Daddy was afraid that there would be germs in the hospital. So, he didn’t let Flora come here.”“Where is Daddy?”“Daddy is waiting d
Anya’s POV:In the blink of an eye, Kester had stayed in the intensive care unit for two days.I also have been keeping watch outside the door for two days. Other than Miranda staying back to company me, everyone else had gone back.Tim was also advanced in years and didn’t continue to keep watch over Kester eventually. However, he comes to the hospital visit every day.“Doctor, how is Kester? Has he regained consciousness?”“Not yet.”“Can I go in and see him?”“Not yet, for now!”When I heard this, I stumbled and almost lost my balance.Miranda hurriedly supported me, “Anya, how are you?”“I am fine. I am just a little dizzy!”“Look at you. How can you take it if you carry on like this? Before Mr. Kester wakes up, you wouldn’t be able to take it anymore.”I tried my best to support my body and said
Evan’s POV:I also heard the news as well.When I heard that someone had fired a shot at the wedding, I was also terribly shocked.“Someone fired a shot at a wedding. Is Anya okay?”Coral reported, “I heard that Kester Helsen took a bullet for Miss Walter. Miss Walter is fine now. Kester Helsen is seriously injured and still in the hospital undergoing treatment. It was said that the bullet was 2 millimeters away from piercing his heart. He is not out of danger yet. Even if he wakes up, he will probably remain in a vegetative state in the future.”Hearing that I couldn’t help her gasped.Initially, I thought that no one could love Anya more than me. Now it seems that Kester loves Anya more than me.If I were in Kester’s shoes, I probably wouldn’t have instinctively taken a bullet for Anya in such an urgent situation.“Then, how is Anya now? Is she very sad?”&ldq
Anya’s POV:“Kester! Kester!” My eyes instantly widened as I threw myself into his arms and shook his body.“Kester, wake up! You must pull through!”The ambulance whizzed through the traffic without stopping for a moment.Less than ten minutes later, the ambulance arrived at the hospital.“Someone has been shot! Doctors, save him quickly!”The bodyguard carried Kester who was covered in blood and rushed into the hospital.When the doctor and nurses saw this, they were also badly shaken! After all in society, it was rare for people to be shot by a gun.Soon, Kester was sent to the emergency room.I followed him all the way. The white gown I wore was already covered in blood. I sank on the bench outside the emergency room, as if all my muscles and bones had been extracted.I was about to have a relapse. The depression that had troubled me for many years made me extremely di
Anya’s POV:I was also shocked, I was flabbergasted as I looked at Ellen.For the past few days, Kester had appeared uneasy and troubled. I had already guessed that something thorny must have happened.I had assumed that it was related to Evan all this while. I didn’t expect it to be connected to Ellen.Ellen walked up to me, “Miss Walter, I am now pregnant with Kester’s child. I don’t object to your marriage, but Mr. Helsen must give me and the child an answer.”I was dumbstruck. I couldn’t recover from my shock for a long time.“Anya, let me explain.” Kester instantly tried to explain.How was the truth right in front of my eyes? Any explanation would appear weak.“Oh, my goodness! Isn’t this the superstar Ellen?”“That’s right! I heard that Kester Helsen single-handedly groomed her until she became famous. So, she was also his secret lover.”“Gosh! There is going to be a good show to watch. Now, this is even more exciting than filming a movie.”“Tsk! Tsk! I didn’t come to today's w
Anya’s POV:On Kester’s side, many guests were attending the wedding, and there was also a special emcee to be a host for the wedding.The next day, I woke up early in the morning.The makeup artist and stylist began to work on my makeover. Rose, Daisy, and others had also changed into bridesmaids' dresses.As there were no elders present, Miranda stood in the elders on the bride's side.At eight o’clock in the morning, more than ten bridal cars set off in a majestic convey from the hotel.There was a joyous commotion outside the hotel. Kester bought more than ten groomsmen, and they headed for the hotel room together.“We are here for the bride.”“Mr. Helsen, we have to break the door down!” The groomsmen were causing a ruckus.The emcee directed the groomsmen as they livened up the atmosphere.There were not many bride-maids on my side. So, the bridegroom was not given a hard time. The room door was opened quickly.“Anya I love you.” Kester handed a bouquet to me.I smiled and took
