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
Mia’s POV:I took a seat on the European leather couch.Across from me was a rosewood desk that spanned several meters long.Evan perched back in his desk chair. Behind him was a glass bookcase that extended to the whole wall.As I looked at Evan, I couldn’t help but sigh.Evan is very handsome.It was like his angular features were craved by God.Not only did he have a stunning countenance, but his physique was also comparable to the international male models.He was oozing hormones all over.If I were 20 years younger, I would have pursued this handsome man.Evan’s POV:When Mia smiled, her cheeks puffed out on her face, which was pumped with hyaluronic acid.Her plump lips were crimson red like blood.I looked uncomfortably at Mia as I felt devastated.I almost wanted to throw up at the pungent smell of her perfume.My face turned grim as I said, “Mrs Walter, is there anything I can help with you.”“Oh, its nothing! I just come to see you.”Mia said with a flirty smile while lookin
My phone suddenly rang.When I saw that it was Evan on the phone, I immediately picked it up.I squelched my throat and said, “Hello!”“Hello, Tina!”“Yes, Evan!”Evan paused for a moment and asked in a deep voice, “Are you free tonight?”Hearing that, my heart raced with delight. Evan hadn’t asked me out for a long time.“Yes, I am free!”“Let’s have a dinner tonight!”“Great! About what time?”“I will pick you up at eight o’clock! We are going to The Tables Delights. Remember to dress up.”“Sure. I will see you tonight!”“See you tonight!”After hanging up the phone, I jumped in joy.At that moment, my mother happened to come back. Seeing me jumping like this, she sneered and asked, “Why are you so happy?”“Mom, Evan just called me and asked me to dinner at ‘The Table Delights’ tonight! Mom, come and help me pick up the right dress!”“Well, it’s all thanks to me! I can only help you so far. The rest is up to you,” she hummed.I was a little shocked. “Mom, did you visit Evan?”“So wh
Evan’s POV:As I looked up, my eyes fell on Anya who had just happened to walk in.She was wearing a black knee-length skirt. The black heightened her delicate swan neck and collarbone.Although her dress didn’t expose her bosoms, she still looked gorgeous and sexy.It is my first seeing her in such revealing clothes.Her entire collarbone and calves were exposed.I frowned, feeling a surge of inexplicable anger.What made me even angrier was that Kester was now intimately holding Anya’s shoulder while eyeing her adoration.I could tell from Kester’s eyes that he liked her.And the thought of them doing something unspeakable after finishing their meal irritated me.My heart is filled with complicated emotions.I coughed awkwardly and loosened my tie with an ice-cold expression.Tina’s POV:Seeing Evan’s sudden change of mood, I frowned.“Evan, what’s up?” I asked.“Nothing. Go ahead and place the order.”My face fell. I had just ordered.“Evan, why do you seem so distracted?”“No, I’m
Anya’s POV:“Anya will you marry me?”“Boom!”Kester words like a bomb, exploding in my mind. I looked at Kester in horror.Immediately, Kester took out a diamond ring the size of the dove’s egg from his pocket.As the music in the restaurant began, couples wearing a matching outfit turned up at the restaurant with a huge bouquet of roses in their hands.The Table Delight was a sanctuary for marriage proposals, and the restaurant would cooperate with customers who wanted to propose to set up the scene.Of course, the cost was prohibitive for the average person.“Anya, I give you my official confession today! I love you. Marry me!” With that, Kester knelt on one knee and offered the diamond ring to me.I was not mentally prepared for his proposal. “Kester get up. Please don’t do this!”Now that Kester suddenly confessed to me on a high profile, I was utterly dumbfounded.“Anya, we have known each other for 3652 days. Today is the 2520th day I loved you and there are days to go in the f
Anya’s POV:I was so scared out of my wits. My heart was thumping so hard that it almost leaped out of my chest.‘If he hit the truck on the opposite just now at the that speed, even the seat belts, we would have died. It doesn’t matter if I’m dead. But what about my three children?’ I thought inwardly.Hence, I didn’t dare to shout at him again. Instead, I pleaded in horror, “Evan, I beg you! Don’t do this…”“Vroom!”However, he started the car engine again and moved like an out-of-control beast roaring while rushing into the traffic.“Evan, please stop! I’m begging you…”However, it was as if he had not heard me, he kept speeding up.The car repeatedly overtook two cars on the road.It was nerve-wracking every time he overtook another car.Luckily, he was an adept driver.Whenever it seemed like our car was about to clash with others, we would end up brushing past each other.“Ah! Ah!”I closed my eyes in fear several times. I had hold on tightly at the handle above the car door, ev
Evan’s POV:Jenny was not my type at all, to begin with. In addition, I was feeling exasperated and didn’t want to say anything superfluous.When she saw my impatient look, she took a deep breath. “Evan, I know you are annoyed. But Miss Walter is already engaged. Why can't you let it go?”My eyes flickered. “Who said I can’t let it go?”“Evan, just let bygones be bygones! The weather is very good today. Why don’t we go out for a cruise in the sea?”“I am not in the mood!”“Evan…” Jennie tried to flirt coquettishly.Unfortunately, her actions made me even more disgusted. I have to work now. Please leave!”“Evan, I… I like you a lot. Can’t you just give me a chance?” She said.Jenny’s POV:I couldn’t care less about being reserved anymore and reached out to hug his arm.I had always been confident in my charm.However, I simply couldn’t conquer Evan.Nevertheless, I have always liked challenges with a high level of difficulty. The more unattainable a man was, the more I wanted him to kn
Evan’s POV:In the office, I sat on the leather chair. My face was terrifyingly ominous, but at the same time, it was ashen white.I had just undergone surgery yesterday. Although it was not a particularly major surgery, the scalpel was still used. It was very damaging to my overall well-being.Beep! Beep! Beep!Just then my phone rang. It was from Flora.“Hello, Baby!”On the video call interface, Flora leaned close to the screen. Her big eyes filled with worry, “Daddy, where are you now?”“What’s wrong baby?” My expression softened and revealed a trace of warmth.No matter how awful my mood was, as soon as I saw my daughter’s adorable face, all the awfulness instantly diminished considerably.“Daddy, did you not listen to the doctor? Did you secretly leave the hospital?” Flora looked with her big eyes. Her tiny face revealed a sensible manner that was incongruous with her young age.My eyes darted around. I didn’t want my daughter to worry and feel disappointed. “Er… No.”“Dad is ly
Anya’s POV:Around the evening, my phone rang.Beep! Beep! Beep!I looked at it and saw that it was called from Evan.“Kester, I have to take this call.”“Go ahead.”“Hello?” I walked to the bathroom and answered the call.Evan’s sullen voice comes out of the other end of the line. “Anya, where are you now?”I frowned and asked in a low voice. “What's the matter? Is there something urgent?”Evan said, “I want to see you.”“I am not free now. Let’s do it another day.”“No! Come at once. If you don’t, I will make you regret it.”Other than threatening me, Evan had no better way to get me to come to see him.“Evan, can you stop acting like this? If you continue to act like this, we can’t even remain friends anymore.”With that, I ended up the call.I couldn’t tolerate his foul habit of coercing me every time.I had already decided to marry Kester. No matter how difficult the road ahead was, I was duty-bound not to turn back.Evan’s POV:“Clatter!”After Anya ended the phone call, I slamm
Kester’s POV:I might be a playboy, but I was not a ruthless, cold-hearted man.Although I had no love for Ellen, I had been with her for so long after all. I couldn’t possibly give her a single cent.“I will give you ten million as a compensation. Go and abort the child immediately.”She was stunned and cried even harder, “Mr. Helsen, I don’t want money. Can you let me give birth to the child? I swear, I won’t disturb your marriage.”“Don’t say anymore. I’ll take you to the hospital now and get rid of the child. Ellen, you’re still very young. Then there are still many opportunities to meet better men. Don’t let a child ruin your whole life.” I rejected Ellen’s request firmly.“Alright, since you don’t want this child, I will abort it. Transfer the money!”I frowned deeply. “No, I want to go to the hospital with you.”“What if I abort the child and you don’t give me the money?”“Am I that kind of person? Don’t worry. The moment you get on the gynecological chair, I will transfer the
Kester’s POV:I had to settle the matter with Ellen as soon as possible. It had not been easy for me and Anya to get to where we are today. I couldn’t afford to let anything go wrong again.The next day, Ellen arrived at my home early in the morning.In the past, she often comes here to spend the night. So, she was very familiar with this place.I had just woken up when the servant, Zena, came in to report to me. “Mr. Helsen, Miss Ellen is here.”Hearing that I couldn’t help but frown. I had told her yesterday I would meet up with her, but I didn’t ask her to come to my house.To my dismay, she comes to my house.“Take her to the living room.”“Sure.”I hurriedly put on my clothes and went downstairs.In the living room, Ellen was still dressed provocatively and looked alluring as usual.She was wearing a spaghetti-strap dress and high heels. She h
Kester’s POV:Beep! Beep! Beep!Right at that moment, my phone rang. I picked up my phone and saw that it was called from Ellen. My expression changed at once. I immediately said, “Anya, I have to take this call.”“Mm-hmm.”“Hello?”On the other end of the line, Ellen laughed, “Mr. Helsen, congratulations.”I frowned, “Why did you call me?”“Nothing much. I just miss you.”“Why are you looking for me? If there is nothing, I am ending up calling.”“Hey, don’t end the call yet. I need to see you regarding some urgent matter!”“What is it?”“I can only tell you when I meet you in person.”“What on Earth is it?”“I told you, I will tell you when I meet up with you.”I was even more flustered. “I don’t have time to meet up wit
Anya’s POV:Once Tin had spoken, no one dare to say anything else.In the Helsen family dining hall, everyone sat around the long table.It felt like some kind of reunion party.Tim liked usually lively atmosphere. Usually, when he ate, he would have his whole family with him.The food was apportioned beforehand, and the servants would serve each plate to everyone.As for me, this was the first time I was eating at the same table with so many people.During the entire meal, I felt as if my back was drenched in sweat.After meal, Tim summoned me and Kester to the study.After all, his son was getting married. As a father, he naturally had something to say.“Kester, since you and Anya are getting married, you have to get along well with each other in the future! This is a small gift I prepared for you. I wish you two a happy marriage.”As he spoke, he handed a bank card to his son.“There are twenty million dollars in this card’s account. Take it as my wedding gift to you two. Use it to
Anya’s POV:The Helsen family was a big, influential family and a preeminent family in V city.Although, I was also the well-born daughter of wealthy family, I was married before. In the eyes of Helsen family’s elders, this was completely unacceptable.In particular, my reputation was not very good. I was considered fairly infamous in V city and X City.Kester’s third aunt, Yasmine Helsen also seized me up arrogantly, “Welcome, Miss Walter!”“Our Helsen family has more family members and also more rules. If you want to marry into our Helsen family, you have to abide by our Helsen family’s rules.”I subconsciously frowned a little.They were flexing their muscles to intimidate me.“Anya, this is my stepmother, Madam Genevieve!” Kester carried on with the introductions.After one round, just the elders alone already made up more than ten members.“Please take a seat.”“Oh, thank you.” I sat down at the table somewhat nervously.More than ten pairs of eyes looked at me in union like scan
Anya’s POV:The next day at six in the morning, Evan was still asleep.I quietly left the hospital.Today I had to go to V city with Kester. I had to go back and pack.After leaving the hospital, I rushed back home. I took a shower and put on some light makeup. Then, I changed into a set of clean and appropriate clothes.Just as I was done, my phone rang.Beep! Beep! Beep!“Hello, Kester.”His warm voice rang out from the other end of the line. “Anya, are you up?”“Ohh, I am up!”“Then shall I go over and pick you up now?”“Mm-hmm! Sure!” I ended the phone call and hurriedly blow-dried my hair.As I had not slept the night before, the areas around my eyes were slightly darkened. I could only carefully apply some beauty balm cream.Half an hour later, the doorbell rang. Kester had arrived.“Miranda, go get the door.”“Alright,” Marinda replied and quickly went to open the door.Outside the door, Kester was wearing a black suit. He looked very dignified and formal.Marinda greeted him p
