Anya’s POV:I returned to the hotel.Rose looked surprised. “Miss Walter, Brother Trumpet is really best. Because of this live broadcast, the number of fans has exceeded a million. You have gained hundred of thousand of fans through this live broadcast.”“Tsk, Tsk, Tsk! Thread that some streamers have to send gifts crazily in order to gain more fans. They have to spend hundreds of $1000 on the gift.”When I heard this, I had a new understanding of the live broadcast industry.It seemed that Brother Trumpet was indeed quite good to me.I have been in the business world for so long, and I know some rules.Women in the business circle would more or less encounter all kinds of unspoken rules. Especially for a single beauty like me.It was inevitable that I would attract the attention of men.Evan’s POV:I received an invitation from Princess Martha.I booked the flight to D city and arranged to meet Princess Martha.She grew up in Melta, so her personality was very outgoing and passionate
Jenny’s POV“Of course! Since it’s such a coincidence, let’s have a meal together.”“Um…”He didn’t seem to want to eat with me.“Evan, were you on a business trip overseas?”“Oh, Yeah!”“That’s tiring, isn’t it?”He replied casually, “It’s alright!”“Look at you, you look so haggard. You still need to nourish yourself. I know a good restaurant. Shall we go and try together?”“How about another day? I have to go back to the company later.”I ignored him and took the initiative to hold his arm. “No matter how busy you are, you have to eat, right? Let’s go!”Snap! Snap!The paparazzi hiding in the dark took the photo of our backs.Of course, I deliberately leaked the news to attract the paparazzi.I had no choice but to use the power of
Evan’s POV:Ring! Ring! Ring!My phone rang.I saw that it was Anya calling and I frowned. She didn’t come to see the kids last week.“Hello.”“Hi, I want to see the kids tomorrow.”“Okay!” I agreed really.I was in a relationship with Princess Martha and was not as obsessed with Anya as before.She said, “Then, tomorrow at ten o’clock bring the kids to Central Plaza!”I frowned tightly. “Okay.”“That’ it then.”“Bye.” My tone was cold and polite. This time I didn’t give Anya a hard time.Anya’s POV:I let out a sigh of relief.No matter what, as long as Evan stopped interfering in my life, everything would be fine.The next day, I arrived at Central Plaza at 9:30.At ten sharp children arrived.“Mommy!” Jason and Jerry jumped out of th
Anya’s POVI accompanied the children and played at the amusement park for an entire morning.At lunchtime, I bought fried chicken and fries for the children.Time passed quickly, and three hours had gone by!One o’clock in the afternoon, the nanny looked at the watch and reminded, “Miss Walter, it has been three hours. It’s time for us to take them.”“Okay, stay safe on the way!”“Bye, Mommy.”“Goodbye, darling.” I was a little down.No mother wants their children to no longer be attached to them.But now I could feel that my children were not as attached to me anymore.I had to quicken my pace, swiftly develop my career, and regain custody of the children.After the children left, I looked at the time. It was only one in the afternoon.I realized I hadn’t visited Kester in the V City for almost half a month.Taking advan
Anya’s POV:If possible, I would rather take Kester’s disability upon myself.Just go! Don’t bother me!” He slumped on the bed, covering his head with the blanket.“Kester, don’t be like this.” I throw myself onto the bed, hugging him with a heartache.How could someone like him end up disabled?“Your legs will certainly be healed. You must have faith! With the advancement of medical technology, there must be a way to cure it. Don’t be impatient. Don’t lose hope.”Hearing my words, he couldn’t help but shed a tear of despair. “Anya, you don’t need to comfort me! I know the condition of my own body. I don’t need your pity or sympathy. Just leave! I just want to be alone in peace! Go! Go away!”Kester’s emotions spiraled out of control as he yelled and tried to push me away.Unfortunately, his legs had no sensation. He pushed too
Anya’s POV:Lost in my thoughts, I was startled by a stern and composed voice.“Miss Walter!”Hearing this, I looked up.I didn’t know when Tim had arrived. At this moment, he was standing before me with a grave expression.I felt a pang in my heart and quickly stood up. “Mr. Helsen, Hello.”He furrowed his brow and said with a sorrowful tone, “During this period, Kester’s mood has been extremely low, and no matter how much we try to console him, it doesn’t seem to work.”I instinctively bit my lip, feeling an immense heaviness in my heart.Kester was my best friend and the person who has been kindest to me.If it weren’t for Kester, I would not have made it this far.Tim adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses, and his face was saddened, “Miss Walter, I hope you can spend more time with Kester at the hospital. I guess you are the only one who can talk to him out it. I am counting on you.”After a moment of contemplation, I replied solemnly, “Mr. Helsen, please rest assured. I will stay by s
Anya’s POV:Kester had always loved me.I was unsure how to comfort him, but if I could uplift his spirits, I would marry him.For Kester, there was gratitude and appreciation in my heart.In the past, I had carried a burden and could not accept Kester’s love.Now, when Kester was at his most vulnerable, I felt it was necessary to offer him to support I could provide.“Anya, you don’t have to sacrifice yourself like this. I know the person you love is Evan.”I held his hand tightly, gazing at him with warmth in my eyes. “No, it's not true. I really love you. In the past, I felt that my divorce and the having children made me unworthy of you. So I couldn’t accept your love. But now, as you said, life is unpredictable and fortunate, it can change in an instant.”I continued, “There are some things that, if not done now, may never have a chance in the future. That day, you told me that if it was your last day, you wanted to be me by your side. After I went back, I kept thinking about tha
Kester’s POV:Anya’s phone rang non-stop every day.X city, M city, and Green Town all had a pile of work waiting for her to handle.I know that Anya’s career was in a rising phase and that she was extremely busy with work.Although I had more than enough money and Anya didn’t need to prioritize her career, I was not like Evan. I didn’t want to hinder Anya from pursuing what she wanted to do. I also understood that Anya wanted to fulfill her values.Therefore, I always supported the offered career.“Anya, why don’t you go and focus on your work from now?” I suggested.She smiled gently and reassured, “No, nothing is more important than your health. I will go back to work when you are feeling better.”I furrowed my brows, “But I am worried that if you continue like this, your work will be affected…”She replied, “It's fine. Even if I am not around, the higher-ups will take care of the company’s matter.”I smiled, “Anya, I am touched that you are sacrificing yourself for me.”“You silly
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.
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
