Kester’s POV:My heart welds up with mixed feelings upon hearing what Flora said.In the end, I nodded my head vigorously and said seriously. “Don’t worry. Flora, I will certainly tell him about it.”Flora smiled upon hearing it and said, “I am leaving Mommy under your care now. I hope that you will treat her well.”Then, I carried Flora in my arms. At that moment, how I hoped that I was the father of the child.If I was the father of the child, I would donate my bone marrow to her without hesitation.I would save her at no cost for sure!“All right, let’s discharge from the hospital now. Is that okay for you?”“Alright!” Flora replied obediently. Then, she reached out her tiny hands to wipe away her tears.She seemed to be afraid that Anya would be upset after seeing her cry.Anya’s POV:Outside the ward.Upon hearing what my daughter said, I burst into tears as I leaned against the wall helplessly.‘What did I do wrong in her previous life?’‘Why did my daughter need to suffer from
Anya’s POV:As I was standing in the corridor, Kester approached me and asked with a concern. “How is it?”I paused briefly and said awkwardly, “Kester, why don’t you go back first?”“Anya…”“You know Evan is petty and has a bad temper. He will go insane again if you stay here.”He was silent for a few seconds. Then, he smiled at me and said, “Well then. I shall take my leave first. Call me if anything happens.”“Alright! Got it! I shall leave the factory under your care for the time being.”He looked at me gently as he comforted me. “Don’t worry about the factory. I will make the necessary arrangements accordingly. As for now, Flora’s illness is the most important thing you should have to deal with now. As for the rest, you can leave it to me. And don’t worry about it.”I nodded. I trusted Kester. I could put the company under his care without worrying about anything.“Sorry to trouble you, Kester. I will back to work as soon as Flora recovers from her illness.”“No hurry. Nothing is
Author’s POV:In the blink of an eye, it has been almost half a month, since Jerry and Jason have been staying at the Carter mansion.Even though they were being well taken care of, they still could not see Anya and Flora.So, it was insatiable that they were still unhappy.Jerry sat among a pile of toys feeling a little bored. He said, “Jason it has already been so many days. Why isn’t mom picking us up at yet?”He felt a little depressed too. “That’s right. I don’t see great grandma too.”“Why don’t we go back and take a look?”“Alright.”As they spoke, they walked out of the bedroom towards the main door hand in hand.However, before the two little fellows reach the main door, a personal servant stops them immediately.“Where are you going Jerry, Jason?”“We want to go home.”“But this is yo
Author’s POV:The two little fellows got out of the second elector-mechanical door as they walked down a remote path.That was the back door indeed.The back door was connected to a private mountain.It was a wild bird island that was not open to the public.It took two little fellows quite sometime before reaching their back door.Since the elector-mechanical door was down, the two little fellows flipped over the wall just like that.“Haha! Do you think you could keep us captive? Dream on!”“Hurry! Let’s go home and look for Mommy.”“It’s been so long since we last saw Mommy and Flora. I miss them so much.”“Me too!”The two little fellows followed the mountain path up the mountain.At first, the road was extensive. But as they walked, the road became narrow and more difficult.“Wow! Jason, are we going to do the wrong di
Author’s POV:In just a blink's eye, an afternoon passed!The two kids were still nowhere in sight!“A bunch of rubbish. All of you are a bunch of rubbish. You can’t even find two kids after so long.”“Mr Carter, why don’t we call the police? The search and rescue team would assist in finding them!”Soon…The search and rescue team of more than a hundred people deployed to search around the mountain.It was such a big incident that the media were alarmed.“We just received a piece of breaking news! Two children were found missing near Mountain Lace. If you have any leads, please call us….Anya accidentally comes across the new showing on the television. Her heart skipped a beat instantly.“Aren’t they Jerry and Jason?”“Why are they missing?”When Anya heard about the news, I almost broke down. She made a call
Evan’s POV:Anya and I were losing our minds.“Send more helicopters out to find the kids, even if there is a need to flip the mountain over.”“Yes sir!”Hundreds of people from the Carter family and the search team were deployed to search the entire mountain.Anya was very anxious at that moment. “I want to join the search and rescue team too!”I stopped her immediately and said, “Anya, you should stay behind and wait for them to return. What if they come home? There should be someone in house to wait for their return, am I right?”“No, I’m going to look for the kids! Evan, if anything happens to the kids, I’m not going to forgive you for the rest of my life.”I frowned. My mind was in a mess.It was completely beyond my expectation that kids were missing in the Carter mansion.The kids couldn't be kidnapped from the Carter Mansion too.
Jason’s POV:The two of us woke up in a daze.“Jason, the sun has risen!”“Alright! Let’s continue our journey then!”Then we crawled out from the underground drainage channel.Upon looking at the sky, the sun was already high up in the sky.I looked in the vicinity and pointed to a path as he said. “Let’s continue to walk along this path!”Jerry had been starving ever since the night before. He felt so weak right now after he woke up.“Jason, I am so hungry and thirsty!”I felt the same too. Both of us were a little dehydrated.“Let’s take a look ahead. There is a stream at the foot of the mountain. We could get some water there.”“Okay!”The two of us walked along the path and rolled down the path carefully.There was a meandering stream at the foot of the mountain.The water in the stream
Tina’s POV:I was watching the news in a bad.When suddenly I saw the news of Jerry and Jason being missing.“Aren’t those two Anya’s children?”After I saw the news, I hurriedly ran upstairs with my phone.“Mom look at the news.”Mom was pushing her face with the beauty apparatus. She then asked impatiently, “What the news?”“Anya’s two children are missing.”“Is that so?” She quickly pressed pause on the beauty apparatus in her hand and took the phone to take a look.She sneered and said happily, “Well this is the retribution!”“Mom, how come the children has disappeared all of a sudden?”“This is Karma. That’s what that bitch gets from taking Evan from you. Serves her right. Its best if these two children can never return. Let’s see what else she can use against you.”
Anya’s POV:I had known him for so many years and should have guessed it. Evan had always been ruthless and deceptive in the business world.How could I outplay him?However, I didn’t expect that Evan would scheme against me.“Anya, don’t say it like that!”“Evan, I didn’t expect you to plot against me like this. I didn’t expect you to be so cold-blooded.” I said as tears streamed down my face.He stopped smiling and looked at me pursing his lips. “You’re making it sound so serious. Why would I plot against you? It’s just a business!”I couldn’t help but laugh coldly.Exactly.He was a businessman.Why would he not take the money when it was right in front of him?Ethan hurriedly went forward to explain, “Miss Walter, calm down. Today is…”“Shut up. You are with Evan, right?”Etha
Anya’s POV:The higher-ups looked at each other in confusion as I looked at Caleb in shock.Bad things kept happening to the company recently.The directors withdrew one by one, which was undoubtedly a big blow to the company.I had just borrowed $600 million to redeem the mortgaged shares and I didn’t expect Caleb to withdraw from the company’s shares again.If no one took over, the Walter group would still face bankruptcy.Seeing everyone's shocked expression, Caleb smiled and comforted, “Everyone don’t worry. Someone more suitable than me will take over my shares.”My eyebrows twitched, “Caleb, why don’t you discuss such a big matter with me first?”“Oh, Miss Walter, it's the same if I tell you now. I realized that I am not suitable for the rules in the domestic business world. I have already decided to shift my focus overseas. I will be handing over my work for the
Anya’s POV:Naturally, I couldn’t tell the Helsen family about this.I didn’t intend to tell anyone that no matter what method I used, I would certainly cut ties with Evan, as long as I endured the next two years.Facing Tim, I heaved a sigh. I lowered my head and explained in a low voice. “Mr. Helsen, my company is facing a very troublesome problem in the future. I might come less often. I hope you won’t blame me.”He seized me up and didn’t ask too much. “It’s all up to you. Kester has nursing workers here. It doesn’t matter if you come or not.”“I am sorry. When I get through the difficulties of the company, I will certainly come and repay the debt I owe Kester!” After I finished speaking, I bowed to Tim and left.****After I returned to exit, Evan handed the contract to me.“Have you thought it through?”My eyes darkened. “Yes, I have made up my mind.”“Then sign the contract.”I took the contract and glanced at it. The contract was in line with Evan’s usual style of doing things
Anya’s POV:I was really in despair.In any case, the worst-case scenario was death!If Kester could not make it, I didn’t want to live anymore.My only regret was that I could not bring the Walter Group to greater heights. Instead, I destroyed my grandfather’s life work.Seeing that I’d given up, Evan thought for a while and held my shoulder. “It's fine if you don’t want to remarry me. You have to be my lover for five years. Five years later, I will give you back your freedom. Is that enough?”When I heard this, I raised my eyes slightly and looked at Evan bleakly.“No… no way…”He smiled bitterly, “Haha, if you don’t agree to this condition, then there is nothing I can do. I still have something on. I gotta run now.”With that, he turned around and walked towards the office door.He knows that I don’t have any other options.Seeing that Evan was about to leave, I panicked even more, “Let me think about it.”“Sure! I will give you a week to think about it. Call me when you make up yo
Author’s POV:Half an hour later, Evan arrived at the Walter Group on time.“Hello, Mr. Carter, why are you here?”“I have an appointment with Anya.”“Oh, Miss Walter is in the office. I will bring you there.”Evan didn’t say anything and just strode toward Anya’s office.He was very familiar with this place and didn’t need anyone to lead me the way.“Oh my God! Why is Mr. Carter here?”“I don’t know. It’s amazing!”“Do you think Mr. Carter will help Miss Walter?”“That’s hard to say. If Mr. Carter is willing to help, our company will certainly be able to survive this!”“Let’s hope so!”Anya’s POV:“Miss Walter, Mr. Carter is here!”Daisy pushed open the office door. Her voice was filled with excitement.I also subconsciously stood up from my chair.Then, Evan walked in. As usual, he was wearing a nice suit and looked fabulous. He always looked so noble and elegant.“Evan, you are here…” I didn’t know what to say and could not help but feel nervous.Evan’s POV:I sized up Anya and fel
Anya’s POV:After the call, I felt even more despair.In a month, I couldn’t raise $600 million.Beep! Beep! Beep!Just as I hung up the phone buzzed again.“Hello, Ethan!”On the other end of the line, Ethan said in a heavy voice. “Miss Walter, when are you coming back? The company is in a mess now. Many employees are asking to resign. Also, our partners are requesting to terminate our contracts. Please come back quickly. The company really can’t hold on anymore!”“Okay, I understand. I will make time to go back in the next few days.”“Okay. I will try to comfort our business partners again.”“Alright!”After hanging up, I leaned against the hospital bed weekly and tiredly.The fact that Walter Group was about to go bankrupt made everyone panicked.Even if I sold all my properties, I would not be able to raise $600 million.I stayed in the hospital for another three days.Kester had been lying in the intensive care unit for 12 days.Today, after repeated examination, the doctor confi
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.&
