Anya’s POV:In an instant, I had been trapped here for a whole week.There was no way for me to reach the outside world, and no one could find me either.Kester had no clue what was going on.“Madam, it’s mealtime.”The servants brought in another round of nourishing food.“I want to go outside.”“Mr. Carter wants to stay in bed for rest.”I shot an irritated look at the servant. “I have been cooped in the house for an entire week. I am starting to lose it. I will die down again, I will go crazy.”“But…”The servants didn’t dare to make a decision.“I won’t go far, just a little stroll on the lawn.”“Then I will go check with Mr. Carter!”After a short while, the servant returned after getting instructions.“Madam, he said, you can go out to the lawn for a while.”Hearing that I put on my shoes and walked out of the room.Finally, after a whole week, I stepped outside the room.Although servants were tailing behind me, I could finally breathe in the fresh air.I stood on the lawn, my
Evan’s POV:I wanted Anya to take the initiative to ask me to stay!Unfortunately, her attitude was very cold. She had no intention of asking me to stay.In terms of feelings, she didn’t give me any way out either.I frowned and left in panic.I had just returned to the car and prepared to return to the Carter Mansion when my phone rang.I took out my phone and saw that it was called from Tina.Although she called me every day, I only picked up once in a while.“Hello?” I answered the call coldly.“Evan!”“What is it?”Her tone was gentle and soft. “I have not seen you in a long time. I miss you.”I listened to her but did not answer.I didn’t want to have any emotional exchanges with Tina now!Since she insisted on giving birth, she could do it.In any case, it was just spending some money to support her. I would not invest any feelings into it.Now that Grandma was dead, no one would put pressure on me anymore.“If there is nothing else, I will hung up first.”“Evan, we have not see
Paul’s POV:For the past few months, I had been enduring the torture of longing.I didn’t dare to look for Tina again, because I had caused her so much harm.How could he I still have the guts to see her.That night, Evan got someone to take away the few hooligans who bullied Tina. No one knows how these hooligans finally ended up.However, I never saw those hooligans or heard any news about them again.One of my legs had also been broken.I had been recuperating at home for four months, and my leg injury had only recovered this month.Now that Tina had taken the initiative to call me, I was more than overjoyed.After I received the message, I was even more ecstatic and jumped on the spot.I never thought that Tina would meet me.Tina’s POV:The next day, when I woke up, it was already past ten in the morning.After a simple meal, I dressed up.At 11:30 I was ready to go out. The place where I had made plans with Paul was a little far and I had to prevent people from secretly taking p
Tina’s POV:When I heard Paul’s sincere confession, I was still very touched I took the initiative to kiss him and completely forgave him.Even though it was Paul’s fault for what happened that day. I know that he was also in pain. With his capabilities, he could not protect me at all. Let alone deal with those five hooligans.“I should go.”“Tina, can we meet again?” Tears streamed down his face as he hugged me reluctantly.I didn’t answer.To be honest, how could I leave him?For the past few months, I had been tormented by the extreme every night. However, staying with the Carter Family was different from being strange in my own house.With so many servants and bodyguards watching, I didn’t have that much freedom to move around.“Let’s talk about it next time.”“Tina, I can’t bear for you to leave me.” He hugged me, unwilling to let go.“Hurry up and let go. It’s getting late. If I don’t go back soon, I will arouse the suspicion.”I began to put on my clothes and kept reminding him
Anya’s POV:I had just hidden the phone when the maids came over with the fruit mix I had requested.“Ms Walter, the fruit mix is ready as per your instruction. We added strawberries, blueberries, coconut juice and milk.”“Alright, thank you!”Singh this Jerry couldn’t help but drool. He demanded, “Mommy, I want to eat too.”“Then you can have it.”“Jerry, Mommy needs her nutrition. How can you snatch her food?”“It’s okay. Mommy doesn’t have much of an appetite anyway!”“Then we will enjoy it.”“Yup!”“If you two like it, we will make another bowl.”“Great!”When the two little boys heard that they began to eat the fruit mix happily.Half an hour later, Evan come back holding a few bags.“I have bought the food.”“Thank you.”He placed the porridge and cakes on the dining table.I felt a little embarrassed, and I felt a little uneasy.I just wanted a reason to send Evan away. There was nothing else I could think of, so I could only give such a lousy reason.However, I didn’t expect E
Anya’s POV:I had used almost all my savings to build the factory in M city. As such, I was extremely anxious since it had been quite a few days since anyone checked on the factory.“I got it. I will make a trip there tomorrow.”“Thank you. A while back, I found a streamer to sell the goods and all the inventory has been cleared. Remember to ask if the money has been transferred!”“It’s almost the end of the year. So, help me organize the employee’s annual salary.”“Alright, I understand!”I continued to explain the other matters regarding the factory.Now that it was the end of the year, there were many things to deal with.Kester was now the second-largest shareholder of the factory. In my absence, he had to take care of things on my behalf.“That’s good. I can rest assured now that you are holding these!”Mr. Patel Mr. White, and others could take care of the company in X city. If worse came worse, there was also Evan. So, I didn’t have to worry too much.Instead, I was more worrie
Evan’s POV:After all, the two boys were only four years old. How could they witness my intense interrogation?In the end, Jerry confessed truthfully, “Mommy, asked Jason to bring her a phone!”“What?” My eyes widened.“Did you bring it then?”“I didn’t.” Jason still wanted to deny it.When I heard this, my face immediately turned as cold as ice.“Driver turned around and go back to villa number 7.”“Yes, Mr. Carter.” the driver immediately turned around and drove back to the villain number 7.“Daddy please don’t be angry, please don’t blame Jason as well, okay?”“Dad is not angry!” I replied gloomily.I know that children didn’t know anything.I was angry with the adult instead.How dare Anya make use of the children to bring her phone? No wonder, she asked me to personally buy her porridge. It turned out that she wanted to send me away.I was furious. I really could not understand what Anya was thinking.Soon after, I decided to head back to confront her.“Kody, send young master to
Evan’s POV:I was so angry that my eyes had turned green and my chest had violently.I had never been this furious before.I had repeatedly ordered her not to have any contact with Kester.Why couldn’t she listen to me? She kept crossing my limits time and time again.“Evan Carter, I called Kester just to ask him to help me take care of the factory in M city!”No matter what she said, I couldn’t listen. “Humph, you are such a bitch! You are really fucking criminals. I am not enough to satisfy you. Why are you so cheap?”I dragged her and slapped her hard.Anya’s POV:The slap completely shattered my heart.I held the cheek that he had been slapped and calmed down. I didn’t bother explaining anything else anymore.I was not his girlfriend, nor was his wife. It was my freedom to date who I wanted to be.“Fine. I like Kester!” I raised my head and with dignity, looked straight in his eyes coldly. “I don’t want to be with you at all. You are the one who keeps forcing me. I already said th
Anya’s POV:I looked at Evan and said, “Evan, take a rest. Flora has fallen asleep. You should go back to work tomorrow.”“Don’t bother that. I want to personally stay with Flora. I feel more at ease this way.”“I can handle things here alone. You don’t need to stay.”“How can I leave? Flora needs me right now, and I will stay with her.”Anya’s body trembled.“Anya, once Flora recovers. Let’s get remarried, shall we?”Upon hearing this, my eyes instantly wrinkled.“Remarrying?”I had never thought about such a thing.“Evan, please, don’t bring up these matters right now. I just want to focus on curing Flora’s illness. I don’t want to think too much about anything else.”Evan’s eyes turned cold. “I know what you are thinking, but I want to tell you one thing. I truly love you. And I you and you love the children. I like the idea of being a family with you and your children. I am willing to spend the rest of my life making a for the pain I caused you in the past. Anya, so let me unravel
Marlowe’s POV:Over the past few days, my face darkened with a malicious grim as I saw the increasing online news coverage about Evan.“Evan, this is only the beginning, I will meticulousely settle our accounts. These nine years, I spent in prison will not be in vain. I will make you fall for Grace and pay you a hundred times the price.”Tina sat provocatively by the side, adding, “President Yanice, the Carter Group, is already under investigation by relevant departments. I believe retribution will come soon. The show is finally starting. When the times come, I will present a big gift to Evan. I won’t let him retaliate. Haha, a delightful cooperation. President Yanice, once the Carter group collapsed, remember the promise you made to me won’t be broken.”I smirked maliciously, “Don’t worry. I will always keep my word.”“And. what is this big gift you mentioned?”She sneered, “I have brought another alley on board. With his assistance, we can deliver a fatal blow to Evan. When the cruc
Author’s POV:Online, a new wave of reports emerged.“The Carter Group Assaults Journalists, leaving two reporters seriously injured with severe concussions.”“Evan may face intentional harm charges.”“Two injured journalists are currently receiving treatment in the hospital. The Carter Group’s actions have sparked outrage among the entire X city.”The Internet was buzzing with the news about Carter Group’s bodyguard assaulting journalists.Although Coral attempted to suppress the website, the scandal of the journalist's assault was publicly reported by mainstream media outlets, making it impossible to contain.The footage depicted the journalist and bodyguard shoving and pushing each other unequivocally showing an assault had taken place.Various websites and platforms started sharing the official news reports, making it impossible to suppress the story.“Mr. Carter, the two journalists have filed a law against suit against Carter Group. We received the court summons today.”Evan too
Evan’s POV:I exhaled a plume of smoke, my face growing even more fearsome amidst the swirling haze.Marlowe was arrogant and domineering, bordering on madness. He had spent nine years in prison, not directly at the hands of me, but indirectly due to his actions.If he didn’t seek revenge against me upon his release, it would be a surprise, indeed.Twenty minutes later, the car stopped directly at the children’s hospital.“We have arrived at the hospital Mr. Carter.”“Hmmm!” I stepped out of the car, shook off the scent of smoke from my body, and walked straight to the ward.In the word, Anya sat beside Flora, carefully feeding her some liquid food.“Sweetheart, are you still feeling uncomfortable?”“Mmm, not as uncomfortable as before.”“Then take one more bite.”“Mommy, I can’t eat anymore.”“Come on, just one more bite. You need to eat a little more.” Anya scooped up a spoonful of nutrition supplement and held it near Flora’s mouth.“Okay,” Flora recently opened her mouth and swall
Author’s POV:Evan went to the Carter Group.There was a meeting in the conference room.All the executives and shareholders were in uproar as they kept asking questions.“Mr. Carter, what should we do? You have to give us an explanation so that we can be at ease.”“That’s right! Now that Carter Group is being targeted by the Independent Commission Against Corruption. This is a serious problem. If we don’t deal with it properly, we won’t be able to meet again in the future.”“We invested so much money. It won’t go down the drain, right?”Evan's face darkened. He looked coldly at everyone. “If anyone is afraid, he can withdraw from the Green Bay project now.”When the shareholders heard this, they exchanged glances and could not make up their minds.The Green Bay project was already ready for construction, and it was about to bear fruit. It was not worth to withdraw now.However, Evan was now being targeted by the Independent Commission Against Corruption. If they failed, they would be
Tina’s POV:Now that I had achieved my goal, of course, I didn’t wait to move out.Otherwise, if Evan found out that I was playing tricks behind his back, I wouldn’t know how I die.During this time, Zachary and I had joined hands with each of us having our ulterior motives. We had already broken through the line between men and women and made love together.Zachary took me to visit the place he had found for me.“How is it? Are you satisfied with this place?” He asked.It was a small villa complex. It was top-notch residents, but it was still a high-end residence.I looked around at the decoration of the Villa and smiled. “It’s not bad.”He hugged my shoulders and kissed my lips vaguely. “Stay here for a now. I will get you a bigger place in the future. Don’t worry. If you allow me, I will make you have a good life.”I smiled and hooked my arms around his
Anya’s POV:Although Evan was released, he was restricted from leaving the country until the case was investigated.At the children’s hospital, the two of us entered the ward one after another.“Ora, Daddy, and Mommy are here to see you.”On the hospital bed, Flora had an oxygen tube inserted into her nose. Her little face was so pale that there was no trace of blood.“Daddy, where have you been for the past two days? Why are not you here with me?”Flora had already completed the first round of chemotherapy. She was so thin that she was nothing but skin and bones.Evan came to the bed and looked at his daughter gently, “Isn’t Daddy here now?”Flora blinked weekly and looked at him saying in a childish voice, “Daddy, can you accompany me every day in the future?”“Of course!” Evan reached out and gently caressed his daughter’s pale face.
Evan’s POV:“The Carter Group, President was taken by the Independent Commission Against Corruption. Evan is suspected of money laundering and illegal financing.”“Someone reported Evan for money laundering and bribery.”In less than three hours, the matter of me being investigated had already become a trending topic.It was clear that someone was adding fuel to the power.“Someone reported for your illegal financing and money laundering.” the agent asked.“I am not answering any of the questions without my lawyer.” I crossed my arms and looked calm.After all, this was the first time I had to deal with these people.“You have the right to remain silent, but your every word will be used against you in a court of law.”I had crossed my hand and didn’t say a word, no matter how the agent asked. I didn’t say a word.Soon, 24 hours passed. I
Anya’s POV:I watched from the side. I bit my lips tightly and held back my tears.Evan hugged my shoulder and smiled gently. “It’s fine. Flora will survive.”“Okay!” I nodded sadly“How is it? Am I ugly?” Evan teased as she touched his bald head.I looked at him and smiled with tears in my eyes. “Have you been handsome before?”Baldness was a standard of testing, handsome men. Even though Evan had shaved all his hair, it still couldn’t hide his compelling handsomeness. He even looked more manly.In less than ten minutes, Flora's soft hair was shaved.Evan took out his phone and said to the nurse. “Miss, please take a family photo of us.”“Okay,” the nurse quickly took the phone.I hugged Flora, Jason, and Jerry. Evan opened his arm and hugged the four of us.The nurse took a family photo for us.“The pati
