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:I disembarked from the plane, holding my daughter, with assistants and bodyguards following closely behind.The treatment plan for Flora’s leg had been finalized during our trip to G city.The ailment could be cured, but her current physical condition was too bad for that, and she had undergone multiple surgeries, which had taken a toll on her body.Now, she needed treatment and would have to wait until she turned five. By then, her bones would be stronger, and corrective surgery would be performed.Afterward, she would undergo rehabilitation therapy! Approximately three sessions could be enough to fully recover.Flora was now four and a half years old, so in about six months, she would be ready for corrective surgery.“Evan…”Hearing my name, I looked up and saw Anya on the other side of the barrier!In an instant, however, my face darkened, and my handsome and imposing face was filled with frost.I hurried forward, to my long legs, taking large strides, with bodyguards f
Anya’s POV:“Flora!” I looked at my daughter and wanted to hug her.However, Evan didn’t give me any chance to cuddle my daughter at all, and slammed the car door shut directly!Bang! Bang! Bang! I pounded on the car door angrily!“Wait a minute. You have to let me take back my luggage and the car!”Evan rolled down the window and looked at me coldly, “Don’t worry, I don’t want any blue belongings. I have someone pat up and send them back to your company.”With that, he closed the door window and ordered the driver to leave.I watched as the car drove away.I was filled with anger and frustration, but I knew Evan was difficult to get along with.However, this was also good. Being completely separate from me was not a bad thing.I angrily hailed a taxi and returned home.Evan’s POV:In the car, I let out a few rough breaths, but my anger still couldn’t be suppressed.Flora continued to sob softly. “Mommy, Mommy…”“Stop crying. She is not your Mommy anymore!”“Daddy, please don’t be ang
Anya’s POV:Around one in the afternoon.Knock! Knock! Knock!I was in my office dealing with my work at my hand when the sound of knocking on the door echoed.“Come in.”Rose pushed the door open and walked in. “Miss Walter, Coral is here.”I was surprised.“What’s the matter?”“He said he is here to deliver your luggage and the car.”Upon hearing this, I couldn’t speak a word and my face instantly turned pale.Heh.Evan was indeed ruthless, sending someone to deliver my things to my office.He was telling everyone that he dumped me and kicked me out.“Alright, I got it.”I spoke and went downstairs to meet Coral personally!Seeing me approaching, Coral forced a smile. “Miss Walter. Here is your car key and your items are already in the suitcase. I have placed the trunk for you. You can check to see if anything missing.”My face darkened, “Hmm, I got it.”“Well, then I leave now.”Coral, who usually acted prudently, was stumbling and uneasy today.“Sure.”After Coral left, the employ
Anya’s POV:I was busy until late at night, and it was already past eleven when I finally returned home.When I got home, I was completely exhausted.I had been busy at the company all day and had to figure out how to deal with the issue at the factory in M city. It was overwhelming to me.“Anya, you are back!” Miranda quickly took over my bag.“Yeah!” I replied wearily.Then, I took off my clothes and went to the bathroom to take a shower.After that, I went straight to bed to sleep.“Anya, aren’t you going to eat something?”“I have already ate at the office. I am too tired now!”Seeing how exhausted I was, Miranda said with concern, “I see. Rest well, then.”“Good night!”Miranda turned off the light in the room and gently closed the door.The next day news of Evan and my breakup spread like wildfire.The Internet was buzzing with discussion and various true or false rumors were flying around.(Rumored have broken up, Mr. Carter and Miss Walter leaving separately.)(Love turned sou
