Coral’s POV:After Mr. Carter hung up, he smoked one cigarette after another.His cold and distinct face looked as if it were covered in forest. It made people shiver just by looking at him.We were even more afraid. We didn’t even dare to breathe loudly.We know that when Evan was angry, he could explode at times.10 minutes past.He subconsciously looked at his watch.Evan’s POV:My heart ached.I felt that I could no longer subdue this damn woman. My order and dignity had already lost their power to her.Another 10 minutes passed, but Anya still had not returned.I had already smoked half a box of cigarettes. My heart was burning. I had already given the order just now and was only waiting here for 20 minutes. But now it was time.‘Damn woman! You are really brave.” I throw the cigarette end on the ground.“Let’s go back to x city!”“Yes, Mr. Carter!”Coral hurriedly opened the door for me. I was about to get in the car with a gloomy expression.Suddenly, a commercial car drives to
Anya’s POV:I looked at him in shock and my eyes were in disbelief!It was difficult for an arrogant person like him to say such things.However, I would not be easily deceived by the sweet words of this kind of scumbag, who was a repeat offender and had a criminal record.After all, sweet nothings were the cheapest method to flirt with girls. I was no longer a teenage girl and was long past the age where I would be fooled by such methods.“Say something. Why are you looking at me suspiciously like that? Do you think I can’t do it? Or do you think I am a scumbag who can’t change for the rest of my life?” he asked.It seemed that he was quite self-aware.“It’s good that you know.” I replied angrily, but my expression softened a lot.“I, Evan, always keep my word! Give me a year. If I really can’t do it, we will break up then. I won’t pester you anymore.”I didn’t reply.If Evan truly changed, if he could truly do as he said, then, of course, I was willing to love him.After all, he was
Frank’s POV:At Mental Sanitarium.Tina was mentally agitated and had been sent to a hospital specialized in treating mental and psychological illness.“Evan, these are the Twins I gave birth to for you. Look at how much they look just like you.”“Evan you have not named them yet.” Tina hugged two pillows and smiled happily.I watched from the side and felt an indescribable heartache.My beloved daughter, my little princess that I was so proud of had now become a raving mad lunatic.I couldn’t accept such a let-down.“Tina… Dad is so sorry!” I couldn’t help but wipe my tears with my sleeves.Tina’s eyes were unfocused. She hugged the pillow and looked at them for a long time. “No, these are not our children. I think I had a miscarriage. Oh, my God, where is Mom?”“Mom, Evan wants to break up with me. He doesn’t want me anymore. Mom quickly helped me think of a solution. I can’t live without Evan. I still want to be Mrs. Carter.”Tina’s emotions were out of control again. She was runni
Anya’s POV:At the airport, in the VIP lounge, Evan and I were preparing to fly to G city with Flora.“Kody, help us with our check ins!”“Alright, Mr. Carter!”I prayed sincerely. “I hope this doctor can cure Flora.”“You have to be confident. Flora’s illness will certainly be cured.”“Okay, I am going to the washroom.”“Go.”I took my bag and walked towards the washroom.Just as I reached the washroom, my phone rang.I took out my phone. It was Orvin.Orvin was Kester’s assistant and the person Kester trusted the most.“Orvin!”On the other end of the line, Orvin’s anxious voice said, “Miss Walter…”“What’s wrong?”“Mr. Helsen was in a car accident!”“What?”“Mr. Helsen was in a car accident. His injuries are very serious. The doctor said that they might not be able to save him.”When I heard that, I felt as though I had been struck by lightning. My mind went blank.“Before Mr. Helsen fainted, he kept shouting your name. I hope you can come to the hospital to visit him!”“Where is h
Anya’s POV:As I neared the port, I heard my phone ringing, causing my heart to sink even further.Without even looking at the caller ID, I knew it was Evan calling.That was precisely why I didn’t dare to answer.If Evan discovered that I was going to visit Kester, he would undoubtedly be furious.My heart raced, but I mustered the courage and answered, “Hello…”Evan’s voice on the other end carried an urgent and worried tone. “Anya, where are you? We are about to board the plane. Why have not you returned yet?”“I…” I hesitated, struggling to find the right words.“What’s going on? Tell me where are you? I will come find you.” He said anxiously.After a brief silence, I plucked up my courage and confessed, “Evan, I have a pressing matter that needs to be done right away. You and Flora go to G city. I will join you tomorrow.”“Anya, where exactly are you now? What has happened? What’s it that’s even more important than our daughter?”I took a deep breath, striving to convey my messag
Anya’s POV:As I continued to pray fervently, an elderly man in his sixties entered the room.He had a distinguished presence and commanded respect as he walked in,The people waiting outside the operating room greeted him with a deference, “Mr. Helsen.”Upon hearing their greeting, I instinctively looked up.It was Kester’s father, Tim Helsen, a renowned figure in the gambling industry in the V city.“Mr. Helsen…”Although Tim and I had never met before, we seemed to know each other very well.After all, our names had frequently graced the headlines, making them well-acquainted, if only indirectly.“So, you are Anya Walter?” Tim assessed me, his tone devoid of any detectable emotion or hint of anger.“Yes, it's me!” I replied, my heart skipping a beat unconsciously.Orvin promptly stepped forward to introduce, “This is Mr. Kester’s father, Mr. Tim. This is Miss Walter, the chairman of the Walter Group.”“Nice to meet you, Mr. Tim!”Tim adjusted his glasses, his demeanor calm and comp
Tim’s POV:In the parking lot, Grace( Kester’s sister) wore an annoyed disdainful expression. “Dad, is this woman Kester’s girlfriend? I heard she was previously married and had three children. The second-hand woman isn’t worthy of Kester.”I tightened my lips slightly. “As long as Kester likes her, nothing else matters.”“But this woman’s ex-husband is Evan! I heard she still is entangled with him, and not long ago, she and her sister were fighting over a man, causing quite a stir! And now all of a sudden, she is with Kester again! Such an improper woman is simply not suitable for Kester!”“Heh…” I smiled meaningfully, choosing not to say more.To be honest, I was not a conservative narrow-minded tycoon myself. I had lived a libertine life, siring no fewer than eight children with various women.So, when it comes to relationships, I took a more liberated view. As long as this was what my son wanted, I would support his pursuit.After all, I believe that a man could never be faithful
Anya's POV:I was startled, realizing that Evan had issued instructions to resist my access to the premises.Thankfully, I had not transported s significant amount of my belongings to the villa, and I had yet to terminate my previous lease agreement.“Has Evan returned?” I inquired, hoping to glean some information from the guard.Shaking his head, the guard responded, “I don’t know.”“Alright, then. I would like to get in to gather my belongings. There should be permissible, correct?”Outside the imposing entrance, a stern-faced security guard denied my entry. “Miss Walter, please wait until Mr. Carter returned and grants you the permission, and then you may pack a belongings.”“We are unable to grant you access at that moment, madam!”“Hmm, fine then!” I sneered and turned away.Fortunately, I hadn’t easily fallen for Evan’s charm and her no illusion about him. Being kicked out of the house didn’t leave me too disheartened.I would simply move out, after all, I no longer wanted his
David’s POV:When I heard this, my eyes turned easily red.I have not seen my father since I started fleeing.Especially after my Dad was hospitalized. I never bothered to visit him even once. In the past, I treated my Dad’s pride and glory like my own.But now seeing myself in the state, I couldn’t bear to face Dad anymore.Seeing a slight change in my expression, Anya quickly continues to appeal to our family bond. “David don’t make another mistake. We are biological siblings, and you are also Flora’s biological uncle. If you let Flora go, you can do whatever you want to me.”“I am also heartbroken that Walter's family ended like this. But ever since I was young, I have always tried my best to integrate into your family…”“The family doesn’t accept me and keeps excluding me…”I suddenly waved his hands, “Shut up and stop spouting nonse
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
