Jerry’s POV:Hearing someone called Maria, me and Jason ran over excitedly and exclaimed, “Maria, was Mommy calling you?”“Yes, you Mommy said we would go out for dinner tonight. She asked you to get dressed right now.”“Yeah, that’s great!” Jason exclaimed.Then, we both hurried and changed our clothes.After changing the clothes, we happily went downstairs with Maria.Then, we stood at the gate of the community with Maria, waiting for our Mommy.It’s been only one minute since we were waiting when all of a sudden, some malicious-looking men in black suits came over.Then, without saying a word, they forcibly took me and my brother.Seeing this Maria freaks out.“What are you doing? Put them down! This is kidnapping! Help!”Maria cried as she tried to snatch us back.However, she was more than fifty years old and she was too weak to snatch us back.“Ouch…”Maria was pushed to the ground by a man in black.“There is kidnapping! Help!”“Let go of me! Let go of me!” I shouted.However,
Anya’s POV:Fortunately, Jerry and Jason were only slightly injured. They were all right after the doctors sterilized their wounds and applied some ointment. Kester was also not badly hurt. He just needed to be simply bandaged.“Anya, if you don’t want to send them abroad, how about sending them to V City?”“They will be in kindergarten soon. There is an exclusive private kindergarten there. You can send them there to study.”“V City is also close to X City and it’s only an hour away by boat. And you can visit them every week.”“Let them take shelter for some time. After Evan and Tina get married. He will probably forget it and won’t disturb you.”Pausing for a while, Kester continued, “Ora still has not been exposed. You don’t need to worry about her. Just let her stay by your side!”Hearing that, I looked at him with some hesitation.X City and V City were separated only by sea. Although V City was small, it was the only city in the country where gambling was allowed. And the Helsen
Anya's POV:When Aura finally fell asleep, I sighed, turned off the light, and came out of my daughter’s room without making any noise.“Beep-beep.” Suddenly, my phone rang, frightening me.It was an unknown number.“Hello?” I answered.“Anya, where did you hide the children?”Evan’s angry voice comes from the other side of the line.I replied in a brusque tone, “What’s wrong with you? They are my children and have nothing to do with your family. Don’t disturb us anymore. I will sue you if you abduct the children again!”Evan swallowed and growled coldly, “Tell me, where are the children?”“I have sent them study abroad! Don’t waste your time.”Evan explained, “Anya, Grandma is getting old. She just wants to see the children!”“I’m sorry, but I’m under no obligation to meet your request.” I said firmly.I know that if children went to see Grace, they would be forced to stay here. Grace she shrewd woman. She would not release them easily.After a pause, Evan said, “Anya you have only o
Frank’s POV:After Mia finds out that all her trusted followers were fired by Anya, her blood boils from anger.“Damn! Anya has fired six of my cousins!”“She is so cruel!”She cursed Anya while crying and punched me from time to time.However, I didn’t say anything and just kept smoking.“Frank, see what your daughter did. If you don’t do anything to her, she is gonna be more rampant.”I drew my cigarette and sighed, “What can I do? That rebellious girl disrespects me. Will she be polite to your people?”“You are such a wimp. You are her father, and you cant even control your own daughter. I think you should hold a press conference and serve ties between father and daughter with her.”I slapped my thigh and said with a weary face, “Hey, let’s not bring something like this to the press! Isn’t it disgraceful enough? Beside, even if I’m not the chairman, our family still has lot of savings and so many side businesses. We can still live our lives!”Mia snapped back, “How is that same? Wa
Anya’s POV:Evan sneered and drawled, “Stop pointing fingers if you don’t have any proof. What did I do? What does have the plummeting of Walter Group shares have to do with me?”Infuriated, I took a sharp breath and clenched the phone.“What the hell to you want?” she asked.“What do I want? Isn’t it clear to you?”I roared into the phone, “I’m telling you that there is no way its going to happen. The child has already gone abroad and its unlikely to return soon! And for the record, the child has nothing to do with you and the Carter family! We are adults. Please don’t resort to this underhanded tactic.”Evan stuck my tongue out. “Here, Are you angry?”I was rather speechless by my response. “I will damned if I’m not.” I cursed angrily in my mind.A wicked grin broke onto Evan’s face as he spoke deliberately in a rascal tone, “I just love it when you are pissed off but can’t get to me.”Evan burst out in laughter after saying this.I rolled my eyes in annoyance. ‘I would have killed
Coral’s POV:Today Mr. Cater is behaving abnormally.He looked at his phone every two minutes, and every time he did, his face darkened even more.He even smokes a dozen cigarettes in a row.As if didn’t take it anymore, Mr. Cater took his phone and took the initiative to call Miss Walter.“Ring! Ring!”However, the phone still didn’t get connected and the mechanical voice came from the phone…“Hello, the person you are calling is currently unavailable…”“Damn!”Mr. Cater cursed and threw the phone on the ground with a bang.“This damn woman! How dare she does not answer my call!” He cursed.Seeing this, I frowned.Then, I picked up the phone, whipped out the SIM card, and replaced it with another phone.This is the fifth phone that Mr. Cater had broken this month.“No wonder people say that the rich can do whatever they want,” I thought inwardly.“Coral, notify the financial market to block Walter Group…”“Noted! By the way, I just got the news that Miss Walter is holding a press con
Anya’s POV:“Miss Walter you are so beautiful! Are you interested in joining the entertainment industry?”I smiled gracefully towards the camera and said, “Nice joke! I’m more than content if Walter Group could flourish.”“Excuse me, when you and Mr Helsen getting married?”“That’s personal. I can’t answer it right now!”I had been non-committal about my affair with Kester over the years.After all, I still needed Kester as my patron at the moment.Of course, the partnership was a two-way street.With my title as Mr. Carter’s ex-wife, I would automatically be dragged into the limelight. That way I could bring more attention to his films and television company.“Mr. Helsen, when are you going to propose to Miss Walter?”Hearing that, Kester smiled, looked at me lovingly, and said, in a half-earnest and half-in-jest manner, “That depends on when she is okay with that! If she wants to marry me now, I can propose immediately!”“Wow! That’s sweet!”“Propose now!”The reporters cheered.I s
Tina’s POV:Anya looked even more stunning than a celebrity on TV.It didn’t look like she was holding a press conference. This was like a demonstration.Seeing that I felt upset and more anxious than ever.Ever since Anya came back, Evan had been treating me coldly.“Mom, look at Anya’s smug face! Do something! Don’t let her get so cocky!”My mother swallowed heavily, snorted, and said, “Relax. Let her think that she had had her way first. Her plummet awaits her in a couple of days. By the way, have you been in touch with Mr. Carter in the past two days?”Hearing that, my eyes darkened.It’s been two days, however, not only didn’t call me he also didn’t answer my calls.Thinking that I sighed exasperatedly.“Why the frustration? You should strike while the iron is hot. In case of any undesirable complication, the matter between you and Mr. Carter should not be put off any longer. If we keep stalling, I don’t know what’s going to happen.”Resignedly, I retorted with gritted teeth, “Wh
She looked at me in frustration, “Zachary, can’t you think of the way for me? Can you bear to see me being unrequited like this? I don’t understand how I am inferior to that Anya?”“Who said you are inferior? You are the best.”“Then why doesn’t Evan like me?”I smiled awkwardly, “How would I know? Every man looks at women differently. If I was Evan, I would certainly choose you. I certainly won’t like Anya.”Jenny’s anger intensified upon hearing this. “Evan is completely blind. The Walter Group sisters have cast some shots of spells on him, especially Anya. I can’t for the life of me make out what he sees in her.”“I can’t help you with this .”She pouted and said coquettishly, “Zachary, can’t you help me think of a way to let them tear apart? If you don’t help me, I will tell Dad that you want to date that lu
Tina’s POV:Around ten in the morning, my phone rang.I picked up the phone and answered lazily, “Hello.”“Hello, Mr. Garcia, I am Tina.”I was sleeping with a girl in my arms.When I heard Tina's voice, I instantly lost my steepness and pushed the girl in my arms away. “Oh, Miss Walter, have you made up your mind?”“I have thought about it. I am willing to be your secretary, but I have two conditions.”“Tell me.”She pounded for a few seconds and deliberately pretentiously, “First, I won’t work after eight in the night.”When I heard this, I agreed without hesitation, “Okay!”“Secondly, I won’t accompany you to socialize with clients. I am only responsible for your daily work.”I smiled. “Hehe, what else?”“That’s all. If you agree, I will work for your company. I
Tina’s POV:My face turned red.Hearing his teasing, I felt even more upset.In the past, I was a socialite that everyone envied. But now I was nothing.“I can’t drink.”“Socializing is important for this position. If you don’t know how to drink, how can you be qualified for this job?”“Since that was the case, I had better get going.” After saying that, I turned around and wanted to leave.I didn’t want to do this job in the first place. I came over just because of Evan.I was glad that Zachary found me unqualified.“Tina, please wait.”“Mr. Garcia, is there anything else?”“PR representative manager is not suitable for you, but there is one more suitable job for you.” He smiled at me.“Really?”“Are you interested in being my secretary?”I was stunned. I looked up at
Tina’s POV:As Evan and Anya headed to M city, I saw an opportunity to take action. I believe it was a perfect moment to make my move.I have lived here before and was very familiar with it.“There must be many secrets in Evan’s study,” I thought.I looked around. There was no one around the study. I also knew the password to Evan’s study.I entered the password, opened the door of Evan’s study, and walked in.The study was impeccably organized with three computers neatly arranged on the desk along with an assortment of documents and a projector.I went straight to his desk!Evan has been busy with the Park and Sea project recently.The project in question was at Green Bay, M city, where a local municipality had proposed the construction of a large amusement park.The land nearby had also become a hot topic for real estate tenders!Evan was also a contender in the bidding
Evan’s POV:I was still immersed in the wedding utmost repair. I fantasized about holding a wedding with Anya. I would make sure it would be particularly grand and unforgettable.“Are you touched to see them getting married?”Anya’s eyes darkened, and she replied coldly, “No!”“Really?” I turned to look at Anya.Her side profile was beautiful. Under the sunlight, her skin was so fair that it was almost transparent.However, there was an unconcealable sadness in her expression.I blinked and guessed that she might be thinking about Kester again.“Did you think something unhappy?”Anya didn’t answer. The melancholy on her face deepened.My jealousy flared up upon seeing this, and my expression easily turned gloomy.I had loved her so much that I had made a big concession for her. But she was still thinking about another man. That hurt my pride
Anya’s POV:I couldn’t stand out anymore, “Evan, don’t act like this.”“Like what?”“Don’t be so mean. You are embarrassing her.”“Being nice to her is unnecessary.”“Forget what I said. I am going to M city tomorrow.”“Okay, I will go with you!”“You are going with me?” I was shocked.“What’s wrong? Can’t I?”“No, but what’s the point? I am going to attend Rose’s wedding.”Before I could finish, Evan’s face darkened. “I know. So what? Can’t I go there with you?”“Alright, alright. You can go if you want to.”‘However, no one would welcome you!’ I thought inwardly.*****A few luxury cars row over one after another and stop at the villa area in Green Town. Twenty or Thirty bodyguards go
Anya’s POV:I was indeed very hardworking and did a good job.If Evan had not undermined my efforts and constantly hindered my progress, the Walter Group could have thrived under my leadership.Unfortunately, this despicable Evan had brought me down from my position as a strong and influential female leader. I was a little annoyed and kept shaking the graphite in my hand.Tina looked at me cautiously and asked, “Anya, what are you doing now?”“Oh, I am making some flour with graphite.”She was puzzled, “Flour? Why bother to do that? Wouldn’t it be easy to just buy some?”“Handmade flour tastes better. Evan had a bad stomach.”Tina’s POV:“You are so nice to him.” I braced myself to praise her, but my heart was filled with hatred.This could have been my thing to do. Evan should have belonged to me.However, all of this was snatched away by Anya.I hid the disappointment and hatred in my face and forced a smile. “Anya, let me help you!”“You don’t have to.”“I will help you. You fill t
Anya’s POV:When I heard this, I subconsciously frowned.It was not easy to find a job in this field.Although Tina graduated from a prestigious University, she had no working experience, which financial management required.Moreover, she would have to start from the basics. The higher-ups were all elites who had working for a long time.“Anya, is it hard to find such a job? I can start from basics.” Tina said as she looked at me.I knew the purpose of her words was equal to telling me that she wanted to work in the Carter Group. She hoped that I would persuade Evan, as she knew once I bought it up, Evan would not say no.“I will see if I can help you.” I looked at her thoughtfully.When Tina heard this, she was easily delighted. “Thank you, Anya.”“You are welcome. Have some juice.”“Okay,” Tina picked up the juice and took a sip.Jason watched coldly from the dining table. She didn’t like Tina at all.After drinking the fruit juice, she took the initiative to help the servant clean
Anya’s POV:I was speechless. I was so angry that I had nothing else to say.“What? Are you angry?”“How could I not be angry?” I thought.“How about this? If you behave well and make me happy, I might agree to let you go.”“I am sorry, I won’t.”‘Then it’s not negotiable!”“Fine, I won't go.”I lay on the bed angrily, too lazy to take a shower.“Are you really angry?”“Evan you are boring. Can you stop annoying me?”“Hey, why don’t you call me something nice? That should be okay.”I rolled my eyes. “What do you want to hear?”“What do you think is nice?”I rolled my eyes resentfully. I know he just wanted to hear me call him Hubby.Although I hated to do so, I still called out, “Hubby! Is that enough?”When Evan heard this, he snickered in my heart.However, he still maintains an indifferent look.“Who asked you to call this?”“So what do you want to hear?”“Well, call me Daddy!”I instantly widened her eyes and looked at me as if I was looking at a monster.This bastard took advanta
