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
Evan’s POV:“That woman sure is long-winded and annoying!” Grandma said.To be honest, Grandma had nothing but disdain for a woman like Mia.When Karl was alive, she had been kind and tolerant to the Walter family, all for the sake of Karl.However, now that Karl was dead, the Carter family had no relation with Frank and his wife anymore.Grandma was merely maintaining a good relationship with them for the sake of Karl.However, Grandma Mia simply had no tact.“How is Anya?” I asked.“Anya?” Grandma was stunned.I frowned. My lips quivered as I muttered, “She was in the accident with me.”“But I didn’t see her!”Hearing that, I struggled to sit up and get out of bed.Seeing this, Grandma quickly stopped me. “You have to lie down. You are still on the IV drip! You have been hurt so badly. Where do you think you are going?”“I’m going to see her.”“Don’t move. Let’s just call the nurse over and ask about her!” With that Grandma presses the peeper.A minute later, a nurse hurried in.“Mr
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.
Evan’s POV:“$200 million in cash?” I was shocked.That was a lot of money.“Why? Have you regretted it?”I tried my best to suppress my anger and said slowly, “it is indeed difficult to raise the cash. Even if I can raise it for you, I have to mobilize a few trucks. Are you sure you can take so much money when you escape?”The kidnapper smiled darkly again. “Hehe, Mr. Carter. I will take a step back. If you don’t have so much cash, you can pay us in other forms.”When I heard this, my frown deepened. “For example?”I heard that you got a Precious Pearl in the audition on a two-hundred-carat pink diamond. They should be worth $200 million.”Hearing this, I couldn’t help but frown.“This was the ultimate treasure of the Carter family.“No, I can give you the money, but not this.”“You can’t?” The kidnapper seemed to sing his hand and slapped Martha.“Smack!” There was a crispy sound.On the other under the line, Martha whimpered.“Clap! Clap!”“Ahh!” Martha’s scream was very miserable.
Evan’s POV:When Princess Martha saw the news on TV, she could not help but question me.“Evan, who is she?”“She is my family, my children’s mother.”“Evan, I don’t mind.“Martha, I am sorry. I love my ex-wife. I can’t marry you. I will arrange a plane to send you back to Novlis right now.”“No, I am not going back.”“It’s not up to you.”“Mr. Carter, bad news.”“What happened?”“Princess Martha ran away from the airport. She is missing now!”“What? How did this happen?”No matter what, Martha was a princess of Novlis. She was not familiar with X city. What if something happened to her?“Princess Martha said she needed to use the bathroom. So, I waited outside the ladies’ room. But she didn’t come out after and I had been waiting for half an hour. When our people went in to check, Princess Martha was already gone.”“Hurry up and find her. Send all our people out to to look for her. We must find her as soon as possible. I will join you guys to look for her. Hurry up and go! Don’t come
Evan’s POV:As the two were arguing, a doctor in a white gown and mask walked over, followed by four series-looking nurses. The doctor looked at us and warned us sternly. “You are in the hospital now. Please don’t make such a noise. It will affect the patients.”“Humph!” Kester and I looked at each other with disdain.“Doctor, when will Anya woke up?”“If she continues to sleep like this, will she become a vegetable?”The doctor replied with a serious expression. “The patient is in critical condition and needs to be undergo such emergency surgery. Calm down. You don’t have to worry so much.”We both were stunned.The doctor seemed to be a little strange.Without saying anything else, he walked into the intensive care unit with the nurses.A short while later, they wheeled Anya out.Kester asked nervously, “Doctor, where are you going to the surgery? You didn’t say anything about the surgery before.”“We observed in the monitoring room and found that there was something wrong with the
Evan’s POV:I rushed to the airport.Princess Martha was sitting alone on the bench at the airport without any luggage.“Martha!” I called out in a deep voice.Princess Martha was overjoyed to see me.She immediately ran over and threw herself into my arms. “Evan, I know you would come. I know you would still love me.”I frowned. “Martha, why are you doing this? Go home now. I will go meet you after I am done with my business.”Martha no longer believed me. She shook her head, “No, I am not leaving. Evan, I love you. I want to marry you. Without you, I feel like life is meaningless. I will die without you!” With that, she began to cry.I felt so helpless. I warily looked around, afraid that the media would take photos of us. “Let’s go. I will send you to the hotel first.”When she heard that, she sniffed and followed me out.But I was worried,
