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?
Kester’s POV:Stories about Anya had been cooked up and one by one, they were posted online.Overnight, the whole internet is full of the news about Anya.Every day, when Anya went to the office, she was surrounded by the reporters and strikes who were waiting for her in front of the Walter Group.I had advised Anya many times not to go to the company, but she still insisted on going to work daily.That day, early in the morning I went to meet Anya in her hotel with the bunch of flowers.“Oh, hey, Kester!” Anya greeted me as she opened the door with a spatula in her one hand. It seemed like she was cooking for her kids.Even though there are three nannies, Anya still cooks for her children from time to time.“Have you eaten anything? Sit down and let’s eat together.”Saying that she poured me a glass of milk and went to the kitchen to make another sandwich for me.I nodded, sat down, and started eating.To be honest, I had always hated sandwiches. However, since it was made by Anya, t
Kester’s POV:I called the nurse.Soon, the nurse sent a wheelchair in!Miranda and Kelly helped Anya to the wheelchair.My legs were inconvenient, so I couldn’t help.“I can push Mr. Helsen; you can just need to follow the behind!”“Okay!” I had been in a wheelchair for nearly four months and gradually getting used to it.St Mary was a famous private hospital in X city.The environment here was very good. And all the facilities here were of the highest quality.There was a charming little garden that resembled an art park, featuring meticulously trimmed flowers and plants that were a delight to behold.Miranda pushed Anya around the garden.About ten minutes passed.In the corridor, coincidentally we met Evan.Author’s POV:Martha had been staying in the hospital for the past two days and was about to be discharged that day.Evan natural
Anya’s POV:I had been in the hospital for more than half a month. I had already woken up. I had also passed the critical period.After recuperating for some time, if nothing went wrong, I could be discharged.“Be good, have another sip!” Kester was holding a bowl of chicken soup and persuading me to eat more.“I am full! Kester, you still want to undergo leg rehabilitation treatment. You should hurry up and go back to G city.”He expressed his concern saying, “No, your injuries are quite severe at the moment. I will return once you are recovered!”While the two of us were engrossed in conversation. Miranda pushed the door open and walked in.“Anya, Mr. Walter is here!”His handsome face darkened. He frowned and said, “Why is he here again?”Miranda, not wanting Dad to visit, chimed in, “Do you really want to see him? If you prefer him gone, I will m
Frank’s POV:My second son has been more outstanding than my eldest son. He was smart and good at studying.It seemed that the Walter family’s remaining assets were better left to my second son.“David, when will you come back?”He paused briefly, contemplating the question, “That’s hard to say. If it was a brief, it could be around four to five days. However, if it is a long lifetime frame, it might be extended for one month or two.”I sighed heavily. “Then let’s talk about when you come back.”He looked curious. “What do you want to tell me?”I could not help but scold Harry again. “Sigh, ask your brother. Look what he did.”“Harry?”“He sold the house in S town and the two shops. He squandered them all! When you return, I will divide the property between the two of you. From now on, you will each be responsible for safeguarding your assets. If we don’t do it now, your brother will spend our well sooner or later.”“Oh!” He replied indifferently.He didn’t express any dissatisfaction
Author’s POV:They all died.At this moment, the other four realized what was going on and were shocked.They were pleading with the leader. They didn’t force him to split the money.But he shot.It was the same person who shot Evan just now.“Sometime, this is what happens!” The man with the pig mask slammed the gun on the table.His fierce temperament frightened everyone.“Do you have killed them?”“I told you, we are going to use this money for something grand! As long as you are part of my team, this money will grow exponentially in the future! Cars, houses, and women mean nothing. Don’t fixate on temporary pleasure!” The masked robber’s agitation grew with each word, his tone becoming frightenedly ferocious.Upon hearing this, the four robbers fell silent, refraining from saying anything further.A tall and lean robber suggested, “Well then, let’s stash away all the money for now!”“Boss, do you think Evan will involve the police? Perhaps, we should lay low for a while,” one of t
Evan’s POV:Very soon, Gael and Coral rushed over with some bodyguards!“Evan has been shot!”“Mr. Carter, Mr. Carter, how are you?”“I am fine!” I sucked in a sharp breath and staggered to my feet.Fortunately, I was wearing a bulletproof vest.I was shot four times in the back!Even though it didn’t penetrate, the pain was still intense. My back displayed four swollen marks as evidence of the shot.“Call the police now!”“Thank God, Evan… Boohoo…” Martha cried, and couldn’t catch her breath.This was an accident to her.She has been keeping a low profile and traveled around the world alone. Although she had met bad people, this was the first time she had been kidnapped.“Martha, they have not been done anything to you yet?”“No, I am just scared.”“Don’t be afraid, you are safe now!”“Let’s send Mr. Carter and Princess to the hospital!”Although Martha was now seriously injured, she got some wounds on her skin. I was also injured. We need to go to the hospital.Half an hour later, I
Evan’s POV:When the kidnapper heard, this he handed the phone to Martha.Martha’s panicked voice came from the other end of the phone. “Evan save me. I am scared. I don’t want to die.”My heart sank. “Martha, don’t be afraid. I am coming to save you!”“Yes, Evan, please save me. I want to go home. Boohoo!”Before Martha could say anything, the kidnapper gagged her again.After confirming that Martha was still alive, I felt a little relieved.“Mr. Carter, can you relax now? Your girlfriend is still alive and well. If you continue to hesitate, you can’t be sure what will missing from her body.”“Don’t hurt her. I am going to South Bridge now.”Twenty minutes later, I drove to the South Bridge again.The total length of the bridge was about a few kilometers. It was the X city sea bridge that connected V City and M City.Below the bridge was the sea.I waited on the bridge for more than ten minutes, but no one came.“Are they coming?” I thought as I looked at my watch. Another ten minute
Kester’s POV:“Hey! Hey!”I frowned. I hated Evan even more.I thought Evan was a heartless man who certainly be punished one day.Although Anya and woken up, she was extremely weak. She was still having a fever and her mind was a mess.“Jason, Jerry, Flora. I missed you so much…”I pushed the wheelchair to Anya’s bed. “Anya…”She looked up slightly and asked gently, “Kester, have you called him? How was it? Will he bring over my kids?”“Um…” My eyes flickered, not knowing how to answer.Looking at my troubled expression, she smiled sadly. She seemed to know that Evan had refused to let her see the kids.“How is it? When will the children come over? I really want to see children now!”My eyes darkened. I didn’t want anyone to be too disappointed. I was even more afraid that she would be sad when she heard that the children had not been sent overseas.“Anya, for now, you need to take care of yourself. I just asked the doctor, and he said that you need to rest well. Moreover, the childr
Evan’s POV:Around 9:00 PM, I returned to the Sherane Bay Villa in a heavy mood.I was worried about children’s safety now. I had to send them to a safe place.Upon spotting my return, the children hurriedly approached me to deliver the news. “Daddy, we have discussed crucial clue…”I looked at the children, my expression burdened. “Jason, Jerry, Flora, there is something I need to tell you about.”“Daddy, what it is?”“I want to send you guys overseas for a period of time. You are leaving tonight.”“Huh?” The three children looked at each other.Jason said solemnly, “Daddy, we have a big discovery. I have repaired the surveillance data. Look, this is the bad guy who planted a bomb in Mommy’s car.”I frowned and reached out to touch my son’s head.That becomes inconsequential.I was already aware that it was the same group who had planted the bomb in Anya’s car and abducted Martha.The most important thing was now to ensure the safety of the children.These Kidnappers seemed to be ver
Evan’s POV:I was preparing the cash.The number of money was too big, and the bank also needed time to prepare the cash.We had to go to different banks.It took more than a dozen assistants an entire due to raise the cash.With so much money added together, it weighed more than a ton. It was neatly packed into more than ten boxes.“Mr Carter, the cash is ready.”I took a look. The money was all in the passcode box and neatly placed in the truck!The money didn’t matter much to me.What saddened me was the loss of Precious Pearl and nearly three hundred carats of raw diamond!I spent nearly $600 million on them in the auction.Those two treasures were invaluable. There was the possibility I would never be able to retrieve them.Beep!The kidnappers called again.I calmly answered the call. “Hello!”On the other end of the phone, the sinister voice sounded as usual. “Mr. Carter, you are very cooperative. You didn’t call the police.”I spoke directly, “The money and items are prepared.
