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
Evan’s POV:As I listened, a chilling sensation ran down my spine.“Would you do the same to me?” I asked.“How come? As long as you remain faithful to me, I will faithfully stand by your side.” She replied, adopting a coquettish expression.“By the way, I have already spoken to the Vice President of Yanice Group, and he is eager to collaborate with you.”She continued, “Once Yanice Group and Garcia Group join forces. We can surely bring Evan down from his high pedestal. Then, we can claim a piece of Carter Group’s empire for ourselves.”“Don’t worry, everything is set up, and we are just waiting for Evan to fall into our trap.” She added, a sinister smile gracing her lips.I listened, but deep down, something felt amiss.Evan and I had grown up together and harbored no grudges.My actions now were purely driven by envy.Evan had always outshone me, excelling in every aspect since our youth. And we had been compared to each other.I had lived my life in the shadow of shining Evan. “Ho
Evan’s POV:The two of us exchanged teasing remarks with each other.Suddenly, Zachary changed the subject, pretending to be nonchalant, and asked, “By the way, I heard that you are close to several officials in M city. It was quite difficult to get approval for the Green Bay project, but you managed to do it. I guess these officials help you a lot behind the scenes. Can you introduce me to them? Give me some pointers.”I paused for a moment and said, “With such a wide network you have, do you still want me to introduce you?”“I am telling you seriously. I am planning to invest in project in M city and the approval documents may be difficult to get. That’s why I came here specially to learn from you.” He said with a slightly guilty look in his eyes.“You don’t have to worry. Once the project is approved, I will give you a 10% stake.”As I heard it, I furrowed my brows. Deeming that Zachary was acting strange today.Although we had been good friends since childhood and had always been
Evan’s POV:Just as I was feeling emotional, my phone vibrated in my pocket.I took out my phone and saw that it was from Zachary.“I will go out to take the call!”“Alright, go ahead!” Anya replied casually.I took the call and left the ward.“Hello, Zachary, what’s up?”On the other end of the line, Zachary chuckled, “Ah, Evan, what’s been going on lately? I have been calling you, but you never answered.”“Oh, is there something going on? I have been busy lately!”“Yeah, you are so busy, its not easy to reach you these days.” Zachary teased over the phone.“What’s the matter? Just spill it!”Zachary changed his teasing tone and asked with concern. “I heard that your daughter is sick. Is she getting better now?”“She is still undergoing treatment.”“Well, don’t worry. With the medical advancements nowadays, she will certainly be better.”I furrowed my brows, “I hope so.”By the way, I know a pediatric expert who specializes in treating leukemia. Do you want me to introduce you to him
Marlowe’s POV:As I watched, Anya’s car driving away, an eerie smile appeared at the corner of my eyes.My assistant joked, “President Yanice, I heard that Evan still love his ex-wife and wanted to remarry her. But for some reason, she has been rejected him.”My eyebrows raised even higher when I heard that. “Hey, I didn’t expect Evan to be such a pony. He wants to go back with his ex.”When I was in prison, Evan and Anya had not been married yet.Unexpectedly, after my release, they had broken up and reconciled several times.“Yeah, his daughter has leukemia, and he donated bone marrow to her. I heard he is going to donate again.”“Interesting! Neither have I expected Evan to be such a loving father,” I sneered coldly and my pupils flashed with a wicked light. “Evan, I am going to take everything from you. Anything you like, I will snatch away. Even if I can’t snatch it, I will destroy it all.”Anya’s POV:At noon, I hurriedly arrived at the hospital.“Flora, Mommy is here.”“Mommy,
Evan’s POV:“Anya, you are despicable!” I seethed with anger, directly pressing her down, and started another round of frenzied invasion.Then I launched a new round of crazy invasion.The more she feared getting pregnant, the more I insisted on impregnating her.When she gave birth to the child for me, I wondered, how would she run. So thinking, I tried harder, hoping idea to have twin or triplets.Anya’s POV:The next day, my whole body felt weak, and my limbs were so too sore to the extreme. I had originally planned to wake up at seven but ended up sleeping until 10:30 before recently getting up.“Oh, no, it’s already 10:30. I need to hurry up and go to the hospital.”I dragged my exhausted body and weak body, hastily washed up, and then drove to the hospital.On the way, I suddenly remembered that I had promised to buy egg tarts for Flora. So, I have no choice but to drive to the shopping center again.The things sold here, whether edible or usable, were all top-of-the-line.Of co
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
