Anya’s POV:The driver gets out first and opens the door.Jerry and Jason happily jumped out of the car. “Wow, this place is much nicer. We finally get to go home with Mommy.”“Yeah! It’s been so long since we had Mommy’s homemade dumplings. I have even dreamed about eating Mommy’s dumplings a few times.”I smiled and followed suit, getting out of the car. “Today, Mommy will make sure you enjoy a satisfying meal.”“Thank you, Mommy.”I had just called Miranda!I asked her to prepare the ingredients for the dumplings!After being away from my children for so long, I wanted to cook a meal for them with my own hands. The children loved my homemade dumplings, and I wanted to make them a special treat while I had the time.I led the children in front. Evan also got out of the car and followed.“What are you doing here, Evan?” I asked.“Nothing!”“Then why are you following us?” I questioned.When Evan heard this, he raised his eyebrows and said sarcastically, “Anya, you wouldn’t make me wa
Evan’s POV:I had never experienced such a satisfying and enjoyable eating experience before. Only the spaghetti made by Anya could satisfy my discerning taste buds.After finishing dinner, it was already 7:00 PM.Anya chatted with the children, completely ignoring me.Watching the warm and lively conversation between the mother and her three children, I felt increasingly left out. Jealousy crept up in my heart.“Cough! Cough!” I intentionally coughed heavily, trying to draw their attention.Unfortunately, Anya and the children were engrossed in their reunion, and no one paid attention to me.I touched my nose in annoyance and spoke in a cold tone, “Jerry, Jason, and Flora, it’s time to go back.”The three little ones’ smile vanished as soon as they heard it!The smile on Anya’s face also cooled down.Jason, with a hint of grievance, said, “Mommy, we want to stay here!”Anya gently comforted them. “Darling, you have to go to Kindergarten tomorrow.”“Mommy, we want to stay with you!” T
Evan’s POV:My head throbbed as I listened, and I furrowed in annoyance.“What did you say?”“I said, I am in the airport right now. Hurry up and come to pick me up.”“Didn’t I tell you that I will come to see you next week?”“I can’t wait, so I come to see you! Are you happy?”My head throbbed even more.Instinctively, I turned around and looked at Anya.She didn’t pay attention to who I was talking to but was engaged in the conversation with the children.“Evan, aren’t you coming to pick me up? I thought you would be happy!” Princess Martha’s tone carried a hint of disappointment.I felt helpless and could only grit my teeth and say, “Don’t wonder around. I will send someone to pick your right away.”“No, I want you to come to pick me up.”“I… I am busy right now.”She felt even more dejected upon hearing that. “Evan, do you not love me anymore? Or give me the address, and I will take a taxi myself!”I gave in and replied, “Never mind. I will come to pick you up. Don’t wander around
Evan’s POV:Looking at Princess Martha, with her wavy hair, captivating eyes, and seductive allure, I felt even more indifferent.To me, she was like an expensive and exotic dish. It might have been fresh and enjoyable for the first time.But after having it several times, I grew tired of it.If I had to eat this dish for the rest of my life, I would be even more intolerant.Marriage with Princess Martha required careful consideration.Although she was a Princess, the laws in their country heavily protected the rights of women.In the event of a divorce, women could be entitled to sixty percent of the assets.Moreover, prenuptial agreements were not accepted. If I married Martha, it would be a lifelong commitment.If we got a divorce, I would lose at least half of my fortune.Seeing my restless and troubled expression, she also looked grave, “Evan, don’t you want to marry me?”“It’s not that. I just feel that it’s too early to discuss this question now…She said furiously, “Evan, do y
Anya’s POV:After Michael picked me up and brought me to the factory, I started dealing with the work there.I asked, “How is the company’s operation rate?”He replied, “Everything is going well. The business has been much better compared to last month.”I exclaimed. “That’s good. Bring me the most recent document and contracts!”“The contracts that need to be signed are already placed on your desk, and the reports are all prepared.” He said.“Thank you for your hard work.”“It’s what we should do!”In the morning, I finished the work in M city.At one o’clock in the afternoon, I hurried to the Green Town with Michael and Tatiana.I had rented to an office building in Green Town.The media company was all set up, and now all that was left for me to go there and sign the contract.During this time, Ro
Anya’s POV:Around one in the afternoon, I hurried back to the X city.Miranda had already packed the luggage for me.The next day, I arrived early to meet up with Kester in V city.They had it at V city airport.“Kester, have you booked the flight tickets?”“Yes, I have.” He sat in a wheelchair with a smile. Besides him were four bodyguards and two nurse workers.I also brought Tatiana, and the group of people met with each other at the airport.He stretched out his arm to me. “Oh, Anya, I miss you so much.”I hugged him intimately, “Me too!”He hugged me tightly and kissed me on the forehead. We looked at each other, smiled, and could not take our gentle eyes off one another.“What time is the flight?”“Ten o’clock!”“It is nine o’clock now. Let’s take a seat and wait.”“O
Anya’s POV:Seeing this, I frowned and took a deep breath.Although Princess Martha was dressed like a commander, I could still recognize her at a glance. After all, Princess Martha had just visited X city two months ago. The media reported the event and made a big story of it.Moreover, Princess Martha and Evan were wearing his and her clothes. It was obvious that they were a couple.It seemed that the pretty girl Flora was talking about was Princess Martha.“Even you had better take care of your friend. Bye.” I said and pushed the wheelchair to leave.I didn’t want to be entangled with Evan and sincerely wished him a new love.“Anya stop right there. I am, not done yet!” Seeing that I was about to leave, Evan pushed Princess Martha away.He took a step forward and grabbed my arm tightly.“Ouch.” I screamed out and was almost dragged to the ground.“Evan, we h
Coral POV:I came out of the office and was in a cold sweater.Mark asked curiously again, “What is Mr. Carter mad about this time?”“Well, he might be having an issue with Miss Walter again?”“Didn’t, he didn’t break up with Miss Walter?”I sighed with a frown, “Yeah! But who knows what Mr. Carter is thinking?”“I heard that Mr. Carter and Princess Martha are secretly dating. Mr. Carter has won the Princess’ heart. Why is he still so obsessed with Miss Walter?”I curled my lips and said, “That’s tough love! The more he loves her, the more eager he will blame her!”Mark looked grim. “So what we do now?”“Mr. Carter gave an order and wanted the Walter Group to go bankrupt within a year.”“Fuck! That’s mean.”“I agree. What kind of grudge does Mr. Carter have against
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,
