Anya’s POV:
As I opened my eyes, a strong smell of disinfectant rushed into my nose. After looking around, I realized that I was in the hospital.
Suddenly, what happened in the morning rushed into my mind and I touched my belly. “My child… My child. Is he safe?’
As I was thinking, a doctor came into the ward for the examination. Seeing him, I quickly looked at him and asked, “Doctor, how is my child? Is he safe?’
Hearing my question doctor looked at him and replied, “We have saved your child for now, however… I will suggest you give up one child. Your condition was originally not very good and after this accident, it became even more complicated. If you insist on keeping all the children, it may risk your life…”
At that moment, the door of the ward opened, and a man walked into the ward. The man was wearing a black suit and gold-rimmed glasses. He was also holding a briefcase in his hand.
However, I had never seen him before…
It seemed that he had seen the confused look in my eyes and explained, “Miss Walter, I am Edward Gary, Mr. Carter’s layer.”
Then, he turned to the doctor and said, “If you are done with the examination, please excuse us. We have something to talk about.”
Hearing that, the doctor nodded and left the ward.
Now only I and Mr. Gary were left in the room. Then, Mr. Gray opened his briefcase, took out some documents, and handed them to me, saying, “Miss Wilson, Mr. Carter wants you to sign these papers.”
I took the papers from his hand with a puzzled look in my eyes. However, as soon as I looked at the document, the two words ‘Divorce Agreement’ came into my view. Looking at the corner of the papers, I saw that Evan had already signed the papers.
Looking at the divorce papers my lips curled up into a mocking smile. ‘How big fool I am? How can I think that he will give a chance to this marriage? How can I forget that I was nothing more than a tool in his eyes to vent his anger until his beloved Tara is back. Since she was back, how can he let me stay there?’
“After you sign these papers, you will receive 100 million dollars as alimony.” the lawyer added.
Because of his words, I came back to my senses took the pen from him and signed the name.
I have also gotten exhausted from this marriage both physically and mentally. Even though I had wanted my child to be born into a complete family, I didn’t want my child to have a stepmother and live miserably like me for the rest of his life.
After taking the papers from my hand, the lawyer gave me the bank card, turned around, and was about to leave when he paused at the door. He then turned around and added, “Mr. Carter said that he hoped that you won’t pester him, or you have to bear the consequences.”
The lawyer's words were like a knife stabbing in my heart, but I still nodded. Anyway, I also don’t plan to have anything to do with him anymore. I just want to live a good life with my children.
After the lawyer left, the ward fell into silence. I placed my hand on my belly and said to my children, “Baby, I am sorry, Mommy can’t give you a complete family! But I promise you, I will do my best to give the love of both mother and father.”
‘As for giving one of my children, I will never do that. They are my babies and my alone. I and I will give birth to all of them and raise them no matter what…’
*****
Four Years Later.
At Walter Group.
Mia’s POV:
I paced back and forth inside the office after hearing the will lawyer read. At that moment everyone in the Walter family was in miserable condition.
The old bastard, Karl Walter, my father-in-law had changed his will at the last moment before he died without telling anyone.
According to his will, he had 51% shares of the Walter Group to his eldest daughter, Anya. As for the other members of the Walter family, they would only inherit 10% of the shares.
What was even more frustrating is that according to the additional condition of the will, if Anya didn’t show up within three days after his death, all the properties of the Walter family would go straight to the government.
What’s more, today is the third day and there is no clue about Anya at all. As if she had been disappeared from the world.
Ever since Evan had divorced her, no one had never seen her again.
“The way I see it, that girl is simply going against us on purpose! No one knows where the hell she has been for all those years!” I cursed furiously.
Back then after I kicked Anya and her mother out of the Walter family, with twins in my belly, I thought I had secured the position in the Walter family.
I had never even expected in my wildest dreams that something like this would happen.
Of all three children of mine, that old man still favored that little bitch.
The more I thought about it the angrier I felt.
At that moment, Frank walked to the lawyer and asked, “Mr. Ethan, I hope you can think of any way to save this situation. If things went out like this, all the properties of the Walter family bequeathed to the government. Oh. no... what to do? None of us has seen Anya over the years! And my father, too. No one knows what he was thinking. How can he ignore his three grandson who accompanied him every day and leave everything to that wreathed girl.”
I also added from the side, "Yes, Mr. Ethan, I hope you can find any solution. Anya had been gone for so many years and we didn’t even know if she was still alive. How can someone leave everything to the person who one didn’t know if he was still alive or not.”
However, Mr. Ethan shook his head and said helplessly, “I am sorry, Mrs. Walter, but there is no other way. If Miss Anya Walter didn’t show up today, then all the properties of the Walter family bequeathed to the government.”
Hearing that I clenched my fists tightly.
“Evan, do you know where my sister has been?” Suddenly, I heard Tara ask Evan in a voice laced with impatience.
Hearing that, I also looked at Evan.
However, hearing Tara’s question Even frowned and didn’t say anything and seemed to be lost in deep thoughts.
At that moment, the sound of high heels tapping on the wooden floor fell into my ears and the door of the office was pushed open by someone.
I turned around and looked in the direction of the door and saw a woman wearing a custom-made suit standing at the gate. She was holding a limited-edition bag in her hands, and the oversized sunglasses covered most of her face. She had a pair of slender long legs, and a pair of high heels made them look slenderer.
As she walked in she gave the vibe of an ice-cold-beauty, causing the temperature in the office to drop a few degrees.
“Who is this woman? Did we know her? Who allowed her to be here?” Tara said impatiently.
“It’s me, Anya!” The woman took off her oversized glasses and spoke.
“Anya!” Hearing that all in the room gasped in surprise.
“Anya… You are finally back! If you don’t come, we don’t know what would have happen to us… Walter Group was almost got ruined.” Frank exclaimed.
Anya’s POV:As I looked at their excited expression, I couldn’t help but sneered. ‘It was no wonder people say that money can do anything! It might be my first time seeing the member of the Walter family so excited after seeing me…’ I scoffed inwardly.The reason I came back this time was all because of my grandfather. In the Walter family, he was the only person who was nice to me and loved me. And since he had left the Walter Group in my hands, I don’t want to disappoint him. After all, it was my grandfather’s whole life work.And I didn’t want to get ruined in the hands of those useless people.“What’s there to be surprised about it? How can someone like her not show up at a time like this? She is such a greedy person and it’s a lot of money! How can she let it go?”Suddenly a sarcastic voice fell into my ears.I pulled back my thoughts and turned my head to look in the direction of the voice. Then, I saw, Harry, Mia’s son looking at me angrily.Harry had never treated me as his el
Mia’s POV:“Mom, it’s all your fault! If it weren’t for your stupid plan that year, that bitch Anya never able to get a chance to become Mrs. Carter!” Tara complained while stomping her feet in anger. “It’s been so long since Evan divorced that bitch, but he never mentions marrying me at once… and now when Anya is back… what I am going to do?”Hearing Tara's words, I could not help but grit my teeth grumpily. Whenever I thought about what happened six years ago, I couldn’t help but regret it. That was the only decision that I regret most in the world.At that time all I wanted to do was to kick Anya out of the house, so, I made a well-designed plan because I wanted Anya to bring dishonor to the family so that the old man kicked her out of the family, and she would lose her right of inheritance.But I had never expected that my plan would be backfired, and Anya slept with Evan. What was even more frustrating was that not only did that old man kick Anya out of the house but arranged for
Anya’s POV:As I got out of the car and stood beside Kester with my kids, the whispering from the crowd fell into my ears…“Oh my god, I can’t believe in my eyes. Did Anya hook up with Mr. Helsen after being kicked out from the Cater family?”“Did her kids belong to Mr. Helsen?”I didn’t want my kids to listen to all this nonsense, so I decided to leave quickly! However, before I could take a step, we were surrounded by the reporter's crowd with popping flashbulbs and mics, as they bombarded us with their questions…“Mr. Helsen, are these children yours? What is your relationship with Miss Anya Walter?”“Mr. Helsen, when did you two get together?”“Mr. Helsen, is that true that Miss Walter is about to take over the Walter Group as the new executive director?”Seemingly afraid that the group of reporters would hurt me and the kids, Kester looked at his bodyguards, not standing afar.Seemingly understanding what he meant, the bodyguards surrounded us, making a human wall to protect us f
Tara’s POV:As I saw Evan’s car disappear in the distance, I couldn’t help but stomp my feet angrily.When I saw Evan’s dark face, after seeing Anya with Kester, I couldn’t help but feel delighted. Thinking that it was a good chance for me, I ran after him. However, I didn’t expect him to ignore me and drive away…All of a sudden, Evan’s indifferent behavior towards me comes into my mind, and I feel panicked in my heart.In the eyes of the outsider, Evan and I had a very good relationship and we were about to get married… however, I was the only one who knew the truth behind our relationship.Even though Evan was good to me all these years, I could see the frigidity in his eyes. Ever since he divorced Anya, he seldom smiles.Over the years, he had completely become a workaholic and sometimes it would even take two or three months for me to look at him at once. And now when Anya is back and even has two boys who look like Evan…‘What if Evan is the father of those kids? No… No… it can’
Mia’s POV:Three days later.A board meeting was held in the Walter Group.In addition to me, Frank, my both sons Harry and David, and the two other directors, Mr. Patel and Mr. White, all of them are present at the meeting as we agreed before.However, what shocked me most was that Evan was also present in the meeting room. Even though Evan had the 15% shares of the Walter Group, he had never participated in any board meeting or taken part in any management issue related to the company…What’s more, he had only brought those shares out of goodwill, so it was even more shocking for me to see him here.“It’s really strange! Mr. Cater is also here!”Seeing Evan here, Mr. White and Mr. Patel were eager to fawn on him, as if he was the one who controlled the whole Group. But I can’t blame them, as Evan has the power to destroy the Walter Group…After all, in front of the Carter Group, Walter Group was like an aunt in front of an elephant.However, Evan just sat on the chair silently, cold
Anya’s POV:“This is the ladies room. You are in the wrong place.” I said coldly, continuing to wash the blood off my hands.However, instead of leaving, Evan scoffed and turned on the tap to wash his hands.“I have underestimated you. I thought you were infatuated! But I didn’t expect you to find a new customer so quickly.”Hearing that my eyes filled with anger, however, I didn’t say anything as I didn’t want to continue this conversation anymore.I shook the water off my hand and walked straight.However, before I could reach the door, Evan grabbed my arm at once and violently pinned me against the wall.“Who is the father of your kids? When did you hook up with Kester Helsen?”Hearing his arrogant words, I couldn’t help to sneer. ‘We have already divorced for so many years? How dare he ask questions from me? Did he still believe that I am obliged to obey him?’I tried to break free from his grasp, but he was too strong for me. At last, I glared at him and said coldly, “Mr. Cater,
Evan’s POV:“What? Are you gonna throw yourself in my…”I turned around in disdain, only to see a furious Anya pouncing on me with her high heels in her hands like a lion cub.Before I knew what had happened, I had been hit more than a dozen times.“Why are you always so mean to me? What do I owe you? Huh? Why are you always so arrogant and full of shit!”Anya cursed as she continued to hit me! However, I was so stunned that I almost forgot to fight back. I just stood there straight and took the hit.The Anya I know had always been as timid as a lamb. She didn’t even dare to speak loudly, let alone hit anyone with her shoes.But now, she was striking me with her high heels, which was simply unreal and surprising for me.She didn’t look like the same weak, and cowardly Anya she used to be.Instead, she looked like a powerful woman! 'If anyone messed with her, she would not let him go!'After I regained my composure, I looked at her and yelled, “Stop that, woman! Don’t force me to fight
Mr. Paul POV:As I looked at the reports in my hand, I couldn’t help but get shocked.Anya is the vice president of JK Technologies… How can this be possible?“I was vice-president of JK technologies in charge of domestic operations. Here are the financial statement for the last three years. I think you all must have heard that JK’s profit in this region have increased in last few years.”As I was lost deep in my thoughts, Anya’s voice pulled my thoughts back to reality.Hearing her words, everyone in the meeting room had the same expression, shock!After all, JK Technologies was too well-known in the whole world to ignore any information about it. And to be the vice-president of JK technologies at such a young age, luck was required, but it was not gonna happen without abilities.“Wait, a minute! You can’t be the famous Miss Walter of JK Technologies, can you?” I could not help but ask in shock.Anya smiled confidently at me and replied, “Yes, that’s me.”As soon as she finished spea
Anya’s POV:When I heard this, I tsked.I could not bring myself to say such mushy stuff.After holding it in for a while, I replied, “We are already an old married couple. It's too mushy to talk about this every day!”Evan likes this form of dress.I suddenly remember something important. “By the way, there is something else that I want to tell you.”“What is it?” Evan leaned close to the glass window and looked at me affectionately.I hesitated for a moment before deciding to tell him what Jenny had said.What if Evan was willing?If Jenny could get Evan out, I was willing to leave this relationship and give them my blessing.“Well, Jenny came to see me!” I said.Evan’s POV:Hearing this I immediately knew what she was going to say. I snorted, “She said that she had a way to get me out of here, right?”Anya’s eyes widen in shock.“She came to you, too?” She asked.I said mercilessly, “Ignore her. She is out of her mind.”“Didn’t she tell you the same thing?” Anya pressed me for an a
Anya’s POV:Others and I didn’t stay for dinner. We insisted on leaving after the inspection.I had understood the situation here and felt a little more at ease.However, the relevant departments were all on holiday. Planning and marketing were my forte. I originally wanted to take a look there, but I could not wait until after New York.“Miss Walter, please get in!” Coral said.“Okay,” I replied.When I returned to X city, it was already past three in the afternoon.Coral asked respectfully, “Miss Walter, should I send you back to the company or Sherane Bay Villa?”I thought for a moment, “Send me to the destination center!”“Are you going to see Mr. Carter?” Coral asked.“Yup!” I said.“Kody, to the detention center!” Coral instructed.“Will do,” he replied.****Twenty minutes later, Coral stopped in the car in front of the detention center.I got out of the car and entered the conference room under the lawyer’s lead.In the meeting room, I sat on the stool and waited anxiously.Af
Anya’s POV:Half an hour later, the car arrived at Green Bay premises.It was the end of the year, and the project had stopped. Nobody was around, except for the security guard guarding the materials.Donald Hall, the person in charge of the project and a few vice presidents were already waiting at the door.After I got out of the car, they quickly approached me with a respectful demeanor.“This is Miss Walter,” Coral introduced.“Hello, Miss Walter!” Donald and the other vice president stepped forward to shake hands with me.“Hello.” I reached out and shook hands with Donald first.Following that Coral began to introduce the people in charge of the project. “Miss Walter, this is Mr. Hall. He is the overall person in charge of the project. These two are vice presidents. Mr. Lincoln and Mr. Yancey!”Donald smiled, “Thank you for coming. You must be tired from the trip, Miss Walter!”Donald is about 50 years old and had a stout figure. He was wearing a suit and had a rounded belly. Dona
Anya’s POV:It was a last-minute decision to come and inspect.Therefore, I didn’t call Nicholas and Michael and walked straight to the office.In the office, Michael, Nicholas, and two senior administrators were playing poker. The other clerks were lying lazy on the table, dozing off.Seeing this, I felt that I had fallen into an ice cave. “What are you all doing here?” I sneered coldly.Michael and Nicholas turned around and immediately broke out in a cold sweat. “Miss Walter…”The two of them stood up immediately. As the table for playing poker was knocked over, poker was everywhere.They seemed never expected that I would suddenly come to inspect.I saw what was before me, my brows furrowed into a knot and my face completely darkened.I had not been here for more than four months, but the company had become like this.Of course, I no longer need to track my brain to earn money. Evan gave me so much money that I couldn’t use it, even for server lifetimes.Throw this factor didn’t m
Zachary’s POV:Late at night, at the Royal Holiday Nightclub, I got very drunk and staggered out of the nightclub.I was with two hot girls, one on either side, my arms on them.I didn’t indulge in nightclubs for a long time after I had been in a relationship with Tina. But now Tina, the sticky plaster, was finally shaken off.I could again go back to the days when I was unrestrained.When the three of us came out of the elevator and went down the stairs, the tall and slim girls supported me tenderly and coquettishly said, “Mr. Garcia, be careful.”“It’s fine. This bit of wine can’t knock me out.” I smiled drunkenly and pinched the girl’s face.“Mr. Garcia, you are so naughty!”“Pop! Pop!” I kissed the two girls on my right and left. “Let’s go get in the car. I will take you to a good place.”The driver already opened the car door respectfully.One of the girls got into the back seat first. Then me and the other one followed.We sat curdling in the back seat. “I had a good time today.
Jenny’s POV:Evan frowned and sat opposite me gloomily.“Evan, I haven’t seen you for a long time. You have lost some weight, and you look haggard. My heart aches so much.”I felt a lump in my throat, and my eyes turned slightly red and were filled with tears. I touched Evan’s reflection on the glass affectionately.Evan didn’t say a word.He didn’t like me and didn’t even want to see me.Seeing that Evan was unwilling to chat with me, I quickly cut off the chase and said ingratiatingly, “Evan, I am getting someone to save you. Just wait a little longer. You will be fine soon!”Evan raised his eyebrows and looked at me in frustration.“Don’t you believe me? Evan, say something. I worked hard to get the chance to visit you here. I want to talk with you and tell you the good news.”Evan took a deep breath and frowned, “Go back right away. Don’t come here again.”As Evan spoke, he stood up and was going to return to the prison.I panicked. I patted the glass window and shouted into the h
Anya’s POV:“If so, no one can save him.”I frowned, “What do you mean by that?”Jenny replied arrogantly, “It means what it says!”“So you are going to sue Evan for bribery.”Jenny choked with anger and scolded, “Are you crazy? I love Evan so much. Why would I sue him?”“Since you are not the one who accused him, why are you so confident you can withdraw the acquisition?”Jenny became silent. She didn’t reply for a moment.“Were you behind the shutdown of the Green Bay project?” I suddenly asked.To be honest, I know that Jenny was not that capable.However, Jenny might more or less know some inside information.Jenny paused. She seemed could tell that I was worried about Green Bay Project. Propaganda. So, in order to make me believe in her, she admitted deliberately. “You are not that stupid!”I sneered, “What exactly do you want?”“I have told you before. As long as you leave Evan, I promise to get him out.”I raised an eyebrow.Jenny’s tone turned cold as she continued. “If you lo
Anya’s POV:Miranda was from a big family, and she and her family enjoyed gathering and cooking together during festivals.Now, although Miranda moved to Sherane Bay Villa, she still retained the habit.“Christmas Eve is coming soon….” I heaved a sigh and went upstairs to change my clothes.Recently, I have been busy with work and ignored the date.Unexpectedly, a New Year was about to begin soon.After a while, I changed my clothes and walked downstairs.The children were making a roast turkey themselves, and I joined them.Flora bought a bowl of sauce and asked excitedly, “Mommy, look, did I make it well?”I took a look and praised, “Yes, it looks pretty good. Flora, you are so awesome!”Certainly, a six-year-old child was not good at cooking.However, I thought that I should praise Flora’s work and encourage Flora more.“Mommy, will Dadd
Zachary’s POV:The corner of my mouth twitched. I replied angrily, “Are you kidding me? I am not a judge. What can I do?”“Then why is Miss Garcia so sure that she has a way to save Evan?”“That’s her business, and you should ask her. How can I know her inner thoughts?” My eyes glinted with a hint of guilt.A mixture of anger, hatred, and helplessness appeared in my heart.I thought, “Jenny has indeed gone crazy. How could she go to Anya? Wasn’t she exposing herself? Was she afraid that others would be unaware that I was the one who schemed against Evan behind the scenes?”“I have something urgent to deal with. Let’s talk about another day.” I said resentfully and was eager to leave.My bodyguard also came.Anya’s POV:I guessed that Evan’s accident was certainly related to Zachary.However, Evan was still in the detent
