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
Anya’s POV:I coughed violently and was completely drained. After being in the ocean for so long, I had also choked up on quite a lot of seawater.Even though I could float well, I certainly felt quite helpless as I had to drag such a well-built man with me.The two of us were wobbling in the water, only about ten meters away from the shore.If I were to swim back to the shore alone, I would probably do it in less than a minute.However, since I was dragging Evan with me, I struggled in the water for over ten minutes before finally reaching the shore.I continued to cough as I staggered up the steps on the shore and felt so exhausted that I was on the brink of collapse.I could not move Evan at all, much less bring him to the shore.In the end, I only dragged him a little so that the upper half of his body was lying on the steps, making sure that he wouldn’t drown or suffocate.“Evan woke up….” I called out while still coughing.Evan was half-conscious, but he didn’t seem able to open
Kester’s POV:I called the nurse.Soon, the nurse sent a wheelchair in!Miranda and Kelly helped Anya to the wheelchair.My legs were inconvenient, so I couldn’t help.“I can push Mr. Helsen; you can just need to follow the behind!”“Okay!” I had been in a wheelchair for nearly four months and gradually getting used to it.St Mary was a famous private hospital in X city.The environment here was very good. And all the facilities here were of the highest quality.There was a charming little garden that resembled an art park, featuring meticulously trimmed flowers and plants that were a delight to behold.Miranda pushed Anya around the garden.About ten minutes passed.In the corridor, coincidentally we met Evan.Author’s POV:Martha had been staying in the hospital for the past two days and was about to be discharged that day.Evan natural
Anya’s POV:I had been in the hospital for more than half a month. I had already woken up. I had also passed the critical period.After recuperating for some time, if nothing went wrong, I could be discharged.“Be good, have another sip!” Kester was holding a bowl of chicken soup and persuading me to eat more.“I am full! Kester, you still want to undergo leg rehabilitation treatment. You should hurry up and go back to G city.”He expressed his concern saying, “No, your injuries are quite severe at the moment. I will return once you are recovered!”While the two of us were engrossed in conversation. Miranda pushed the door open and walked in.“Anya, Mr. Walter is here!”His handsome face darkened. He frowned and said, “Why is he here again?”Miranda, not wanting Dad to visit, chimed in, “Do you really want to see him? If you prefer him gone, I will m
Frank’s POV:My second son has been more outstanding than my eldest son. He was smart and good at studying.It seemed that the Walter family’s remaining assets were better left to my second son.“David, when will you come back?”He paused briefly, contemplating the question, “That’s hard to say. If it was a brief, it could be around four to five days. However, if it is a long lifetime frame, it might be extended for one month or two.”I sighed heavily. “Then let’s talk about when you come back.”He looked curious. “What do you want to tell me?”I could not help but scold Harry again. “Sigh, ask your brother. Look what he did.”“Harry?”“He sold the house in S town and the two shops. He squandered them all! When you return, I will divide the property between the two of you. From now on, you will each be responsible for safeguarding your assets. If we don’t do it now, your brother will spend our well sooner or later.”“Oh!” He replied indifferently.He didn’t express any dissatisfaction
Author’s POV:They all died.At this moment, the other four realized what was going on and were shocked.They were pleading with the leader. They didn’t force him to split the money.But he shot.It was the same person who shot Evan just now.“Sometime, this is what happens!” The man with the pig mask slammed the gun on the table.His fierce temperament frightened everyone.“Do you have killed them?”“I told you, we are going to use this money for something grand! As long as you are part of my team, this money will grow exponentially in the future! Cars, houses, and women mean nothing. Don’t fixate on temporary pleasure!” The masked robber’s agitation grew with each word, his tone becoming frightenedly ferocious.Upon hearing this, the four robbers fell silent, refraining from saying anything further.A tall and lean robber suggested, “Well then, let’s stash away all the money for now!”“Boss, do you think Evan will involve the police? Perhaps, we should lay low for a while,” one of t
Evan’s POV:Very soon, Gael and Coral rushed over with some bodyguards!“Evan has been shot!”“Mr. Carter, Mr. Carter, how are you?”“I am fine!” I sucked in a sharp breath and staggered to my feet.Fortunately, I was wearing a bulletproof vest.I was shot four times in the back!Even though it didn’t penetrate, the pain was still intense. My back displayed four swollen marks as evidence of the shot.“Call the police now!”“Thank God, Evan… Boohoo…” Martha cried, and couldn’t catch her breath.This was an accident to her.She has been keeping a low profile and traveled around the world alone. Although she had met bad people, this was the first time she had been kidnapped.“Martha, they have not been done anything to you yet?”“No, I am just scared.”“Don’t be afraid, you are safe now!”“Let’s send Mr. Carter and Princess to the hospital!”Although Martha was now seriously injured, she got some wounds on her skin. I was also injured. We need to go to the hospital.Half an hour later, I
Evan’s POV:When the kidnapper heard, this he handed the phone to Martha.Martha’s panicked voice came from the other end of the phone. “Evan save me. I am scared. I don’t want to die.”My heart sank. “Martha, don’t be afraid. I am coming to save you!”“Yes, Evan, please save me. I want to go home. Boohoo!”Before Martha could say anything, the kidnapper gagged her again.After confirming that Martha was still alive, I felt a little relieved.“Mr. Carter, can you relax now? Your girlfriend is still alive and well. If you continue to hesitate, you can’t be sure what will missing from her body.”“Don’t hurt her. I am going to South Bridge now.”Twenty minutes later, I drove to the South Bridge again.The total length of the bridge was about a few kilometers. It was the X city sea bridge that connected V City and M City.Below the bridge was the sea.I waited on the bridge for more than ten minutes, but no one came.“Are they coming?” I thought as I looked at my watch. Another ten minute
Kester’s POV:“Hey! Hey!”I frowned. I hated Evan even more.I thought Evan was a heartless man who certainly be punished one day.Although Anya and woken up, she was extremely weak. She was still having a fever and her mind was a mess.“Jason, Jerry, Flora. I missed you so much…”I pushed the wheelchair to Anya’s bed. “Anya…”She looked up slightly and asked gently, “Kester, have you called him? How was it? Will he bring over my kids?”“Um…” My eyes flickered, not knowing how to answer.Looking at my troubled expression, she smiled sadly. She seemed to know that Evan had refused to let her see the kids.“How is it? When will the children come over? I really want to see children now!”My eyes darkened. I didn’t want anyone to be too disappointed. I was even more afraid that she would be sad when she heard that the children had not been sent overseas.“Anya, for now, you need to take care of yourself. I just asked the doctor, and he said that you need to rest well. Moreover, the childr
Evan’s POV:Around 9:00 PM, I returned to the Sherane Bay Villa in a heavy mood.I was worried about children’s safety now. I had to send them to a safe place.Upon spotting my return, the children hurriedly approached me to deliver the news. “Daddy, we have discussed crucial clue…”I looked at the children, my expression burdened. “Jason, Jerry, Flora, there is something I need to tell you about.”“Daddy, what it is?”“I want to send you guys overseas for a period of time. You are leaving tonight.”“Huh?” The three children looked at each other.Jason said solemnly, “Daddy, we have a big discovery. I have repaired the surveillance data. Look, this is the bad guy who planted a bomb in Mommy’s car.”I frowned and reached out to touch my son’s head.That becomes inconsequential.I was already aware that it was the same group who had planted the bomb in Anya’s car and abducted Martha.The most important thing was now to ensure the safety of the children.These Kidnappers seemed to be ver
Evan’s POV:I was preparing the cash.The number of money was too big, and the bank also needed time to prepare the cash.We had to go to different banks.It took more than a dozen assistants an entire due to raise the cash.With so much money added together, it weighed more than a ton. It was neatly packed into more than ten boxes.“Mr Carter, the cash is ready.”I took a look. The money was all in the passcode box and neatly placed in the truck!The money didn’t matter much to me.What saddened me was the loss of Precious Pearl and nearly three hundred carats of raw diamond!I spent nearly $600 million on them in the auction.Those two treasures were invaluable. There was the possibility I would never be able to retrieve them.Beep!The kidnappers called again.I calmly answered the call. “Hello!”On the other end of the phone, the sinister voice sounded as usual. “Mr. Carter, you are very cooperative. You didn’t call the police.”I spoke directly, “The money and items are prepared.
