Tina’s POV:Evan sneered. “I will get to the bottom of it. Whoever dares to hurt Anya is having an issue with me! Those who have issues with me will have a hard time ahead!”When I heard that, I subconsciously staggered and almost fell to the ground!“Keep an eye on her, all of you! Before the truth is revealed, you are not allowed to leave Sherane Bay Villa or get in contact with anyone! Take her home!”“Yes, Mr. Carter!”The bodyguard responded, grabbed my bag, and took my phone out.“Miss Walter, please return to your room!”I was freaked out. “Evan, I have to go home now. I want to go home and see my parents. Christmas is coming. You can’t do this to me!”“When I find out the truth and know you have nothing to do with it, I will let you go! Now, behave yourself and stay in your room as told! You had better wish Anya would be safe and this has nothing to do with you.” He said, as he turned around and coldly walked down the stairs with his long legs.“Evan, Evan…”Two bodyguards ste
Frank’s POV:I heard it and was in a dilemma.Although I also heated Anya's guts, I was still her father and didn’t want Anya to die.“Listen to yourself. Don’t think you are being too mean.”“Oh? You said I am being mean? If it weren’t for her, Mr. Carter and Tina wouldn’t have ended up like this! If it weren’t for her, the Walter family wouldn’t have been excluded from the circle of rich people and look down upon!”I shook my head and sighed, “I have told you, Evan doesn’t love Tina at all. The best choice for Tina is to break up with him. But you and Tina didn’t take my advice. Instead you messed around and asked for trouble yourselves!”When she heard this, she hit the ceiling. “What’s wrong with you? Your daughter is bullied. As a father, you are not thinking of standing up for her! On the contrary, you are even criticizing her. Are you out of your mind?”“Fine, you won.”“Come with me. We are going to Sherane Bay Villa to bring Tina back!”“Alright!” I replied helplessly.We dar
Mia’s POV:When I heard this, I stopped him immediately. “You can’t call the police.”“Why?” He looked at me with confusion.I rolled my eyes feeling as though my head was about to explode.I couldn’t let the police know about this matter. There is no way we could call the police for assistance!Tina had told me on the phone that she had gotten into big trouble and had hidden from the police. How could I dare to take the initiative to call the police?“We have no choice but to call the police! Why are you so afraid?”“Oh, if we call the police, we fall out of completely with Mr. Carter! It’s better… to settle this matter privately!”“Besides, it’s not worth break those two up over such a small matter!”“Gosh, you are still thinking about this at a time like this. Then what do you think we should do?”I was also at a loss. “ I don’t know either.”The two of us were worried and flustered.The guard tactlessly leaned forward and asked, “Mr. Walter, Mrs. Walter, what did Mr. Carter say?”
Miss Chain’s POV:After two days of recovery, Miss Walter had finally gotten over the worst of her illness.However, she was still extremely weak. She lay on a bed sleeping, hooked up to a ventilator.“Anya, Daddy is here to see you!”Lilian and I recognized Frank. When we saw, we greeted him, looking shocked. “Mr. Walter, why are you here?”“Oh, I came to see Anya. How is she doing?”“She just fell asleep. Why don’t you wait for a while?”“It’s fine, it’s fine! I want to talk to her, that’s all.” He didn’t listen to me and went to the bed.“Mr. Walter, she just fall asleep. You should wait….”However, he didn’t listen to me and went to the bed. “I have something urgent to talk to her. I won’t take a long!”Before I could stop him, he called out to the bed, “Anya!”
Anya’s POV:I didn’t want to talk to him anymore.I didn’t recall seeing my father so anxious when I was imprisoned!Now that Tina was in trouble, he ran for help faster than anyone else.“Anya, I know you are still angry with me, but don’t make such a fuss now!”He frowned, looking worried, “Tina is now tapped in Sherane Bay Villa. She is pregnant. If anything happen to her, it will be too late to regret.”I rolled my eyes coldly. “Dad, I really can’t help you. Evan won’t listen to me too. If anything, you should go to the call police!”When he heard this, he punched his legs in exasperation. “Just tell Evan to let me take Tina home! It’s such a simple matter. Do you still have to make excuses?”His voice suddenly rose. The smile on his face completely disappeared.“It’s not that I don’t want to help you, but you
Anya’s POV:I immediately understood what he meant by thisEvan had the same suspicion as me. He also suspected that Tina had heard a hit man to kill me.“I know, but no matter what, she’s still my sister. Let her go home first.”“Anya, you can’t always be soft-hearted.” Evan sounds disappointed.“She can run, but she can’t hide. If this matter is related to her, you can always settle this out with her later.” I refuse to be labeled as a pushover.If Tina was too involved in this case, I would not let her off so easily.“Evan didn’t say anything for a long while.Finally, he agreed, “Alright, then. I will call the driver later and ask him to send Tina back home!”“Alright! I will hung up first!”I hung up the phone and looked at Frank in disgust.“Alright, Evan said that he would get the driver sent her bac
Tina’s POV:When I heard this, my scalp tingled uneasily. At my mother’s words, a sudden realization dawned on me. “Mom, Anya was nearly killed by hit-man. Did you hire him to get after her?”“No, no!” She tried her best to hide her panic.My heart rose to my throat. “Mom, tell me the truth. Did you do it?”“Don’t ask so much first. Tell me, who did you transfer those two sums of money to? And what have you done? How can I help you if you don’t tell me?”When I heard this, I wailed and burst into tears again.Seeing this, she asked, “Oh, my god, don’t tell me, you are having affair with that broke loser again? Did you spend all that on him?”“No way!”“Well, what exactly is it? You are really making your poor mother anxious!”I blew my eyes. “Mom, I have gotten a bit trouble this time. If someone finds
Anya’s POV:It was already Christmas Eve!I had yet to recover, so I could only stay in the hospital for Christmas.A loud sound was heard.The whistle of fireworks came from outside the widow. Bright fireworks boomed in the sky.Seeing this Miss Chain and Lillian ran to the window quickly. “Who is setting fireworks?”“Wow! The fireworks are very beautiful!”Fireworks were strictly prohibited in X city. Only during major holidays like Christmas or Independence Day could they be released at a designated location. The police had to maintain order at the scene.Therefore, it would cost at least hundreds of thousands of dollars to set up fireworks. Moreover, it was something that anyone with money could plan.Another sound was heard.Another round of fireworks bloomed in the sky, adding color and sparks to half of the X city.“Wow, it’s so beautiful!” The nurse we
Anya’s POV:Surrounded by small islands, one can observe the environment where I standing with a pair of binoculars.After hanging up, I got out of the car. She stood on the dock and looked around.There were fishermen selling seafood everywhere. On the sea, many small fishing boats were floating around.The fisherman stood on the fishing boat and enthusiastically hawked to passersby. “Do you won’t buy lobster? They are fresh and cheap.”“There are also groupers and crabs. They are all freshly caught. Come and buy some.”I was not in the mood to care about these people. I just looked at the people coming and going in front of me uneasily.I waited another ten minutes or so.A middle-aged man with dark skin approached me. “You are Anya Walter, right?”I turned around and saw a man dressed as a fisherman standing behind me.“Yes, I am Anya Walter!”“Come with me!”I held my breath and hurriedly followed the fisherman.The fisherman brought me to a relatively quiet dock and pointed at th
Evan’s POV:Beep! Beep! Beep!David called again.Anya and I both rushed to answer the call. I answered the call hastily.“Hello…”On the other end of the phone, David said gloomily, “Anya, come to Newcan Island alone! Don’t play any tricks, or your daughter will die a horrible death.”Anya’s voice sank, “Alright, don’t worry. I will go alone.”“If I find out that you and Evan were playing any tricks behind the scenes, I will chop your daughter into pieces and feed her to the dogs.”“David, don’t hurt, Flora. Don’t worry, I will go alone.”He sneered and hung up.After hanging up, my eyes darkened. “Anya, I won’t allow you to go. If somebody has to go, it would be me.”Anya’s expression was a little unfocused, “Evan this is the grudge between me and David. Let me settle it alone.”“No, I won’t let you go alone to meet your death. Kody keeps an eye on her. Don’t let her leave Sherane Bay Villa.”“Yes, Mr. Carter.”Without waiting for the bodyguard to come forward, Anya rushed to the co
Anya’s POV:After waiting for the entire night, the call didn’t come again.Evan and I had not slept the entire night. Our eyes are red from exhaustion from the whole night. We remain on the edge, feeling as if it were doomsday.Beep! Beep! Beep!In the morning, Evan’s phone rang againThe two of us reached for the phone at the same time. “Hello!”On the other end of the phone, the voice from the voice changer said, “It seems like you have not made up your mind yet.”I asked bluntly, “David, is that you?”The other end of the phone suddenly fell silent.I took a deep breath and said calmly, “I know it’s you. Please don’t hurt Flora. If you hate me, you can come at me. Flora is just a child. She is innocent. Please don’t hurt her. No matter what, you are her biological uncle.”When David heard this, he was furious. “Shut up. Are you done talking?”“David, can we talk calmly? Even if I die, many things can’t be resolved. What do you want? Or what do you want me to do? You can tell me.”
Anya’s POV:If Flora was kidnapped, with the Carter family's financial resources, no matter how much ransom was asked, we could afford it.But I was afraid that David had abducted Flora. The situation would be different if that’s the case.He hated me to the core. He might very well take revenge on me by hurting Flora.In the next hour, Evan and I looked like it was the end of the world.Every second seems to be like endless darkness.Beep! Beep! Beep!Finally, Evan’s phone rang.Evan held his breath and quickly picked up the call. “Hello!”On the other end of the phone, a distorted voice from a voice changer said, “Hello, there Mr. Carter!”Evan’s POV:I gasped. This voice was very familiar to me.Just like the kidnapper who kidnapped Princess Martha before, it was the same kind of voice changer. “Who are you exactly?”“Do you have my daughter?”“That’s, smart!”“Please don’t hurt my daughter. How much do you want? I will give it to you.”“I don’t want money this time. I want people.
Anya’s POV:I had been too careless.I know that someone had always wanted me dead, so I shouldn’t have let my guard down.Although I had bodyguards with me this time, not many people were allowed to enter the hospital. Therefore, the bodyguard could only wait outside, which gave the criminals an opportunity.“If anything happened to Flora, I would never forgive myself for the rest of my life.”“Flora, where are you? It’s all Mommy’s fault…”“Miss Walter, it’s not time to be sad. Finding Miss Flora is the priority now.”“Harry, let’s hurry to the surveillance room and see if Miss Flora has been taken out of the hospital.”“Okay.”The group of us arrived at the surveillance room.“Miss Flora is missing. Hurry up and put out all the surveillance cameras.”The security guard in the surveillance room was originally dozing off. When a few blurry men barged in, he was so frightened that didn’t dare to say anything and hurriedly checked the surveillance camera.Kody moved the mouse head to c
Anya’s POV:I kept comforting Flora. It was not easy for me to coax my daughter.The nurse drew two tubes of her blood and brought her to the CT room for various tests.After the examination, I asked the nurse, “How long will it take for the result to be out?”“The other test result could be collected in an hour. The result of the blood test would only be out tomorrow.”I had also expected this. It was always like this in the past. “Alright, I understand.”When it was almost noon, Evan called and asked, “How was it?”“There is nothing wrong with these tests. We will have to wait till tomorrow for the blood test result.”“Oh, then I am relieved.”We left the Children’s Hospital.I call Fantine again.“Hello, Miss Anya?”“Is Dad in the hospital?”“Oh, Mr. Walter is here.”I paused for a moment. “I will go over to see him later. Tell Dad.”“Okay.”After the call, I prepared to go to the hospital to see Dad.“Flora, follow Aunt Lilian home first. Mommy will go to and see Grandpa.”When Fl
Evan’s POV:I rubbed Jerry’s head and smiled reluctantly. My youngest son was clever and knew how to flatter me. He was completely different from Jason’s personality.After a twenty-minute drive, we arrived home.“Flora, Daddy, and Mommy are back.”‘Daddy, Mommy. Cough, Cough…” Flora was watching cartoons.Her eyes lit up when she saw us return. And she greeted me as a lie like she did every day. However, she looked sluggish.Anya handed a gift to Flora. “This is a gift for you, Flora!”“Thank you, Daddy and Mommy,” Flora got a limited edition doll and squeezed out a smile.“Baby, are you feeling unwell?”“Yeah, I am a little unwell!” She said. She couldn’t help but cough twice again. Her big eyes revealed her trace of fatigue.Anya’s POV:Seeing this I quickly reached out and touched my daughter’s forehead.The temperature was not very high. It did not seem like she was having a high fever.However, Flora had always been sick. Thus her body’s immune system was weak.“Mommy will take
Anya’s POV:The next day, I got up early in the morning.After washing up, Evan was still asleep. I could only shake him awake. “Wake up. It's time to get up.”He yawned, “So early? What’s the hurry?”“It’s getting late. It’s already 7 o’clock. Hurry up and get up. We still have to rush to the airport.”“Sigh. I have to hand it to you.” Eva reluctantly got off the bed and was dragged to the bathroom by me, who urged him to wash up.After everyone was done, it was already 8:30 in the morning.The driver drove us to the airport.Unexpectedly halfway there, we met a few foreigners in a local police uniform.A tall, burly white man raised his hand to signal the driver to stop. He said in a local language. “Get out of the car quickly. There will be a routine inspection. We suspect you have dangerous items in your car.”“All of you get out of your car and take out your passports…”Evan replied in English, “We need to call our lawyer!”“Shut up and get out of the car.”A few police officers
After hanging up, Anya looked melancholic. “Look, the children are urging us to go back.”“I rarely travel. Let’s shop for a few more days.” I know the best way to treat depression is to relax and heal naturally.“Three days at most.”“There is no need to rush.”“Let’s go. Come with me for dinner.”Anya was helpless. She changed her clothes and went to the street with me.At the entrance of the street.Anya was buying coffee when Coral walked up anxiously and whispered, “Mr. Carter…”I was stunned, “What’s wrong?”“Princess Martha wants to see you.”I frowned.I had not contacted Princess Martha for three or four months. I felt it was over between us.“How did she know I was here?”“Princess Martha happened to be in Menola too. When she saw my Facebook post, she guessed you were also in Menola.”When I heard this, my face was darkened. “Who asked you to post on Facebook?”“Sorry, Mr. Carter…”As he spoke, Princess Martha appeared out of nowhere. “Evan, long time no see!”I turned roun
