Anya’s POV:
Even if the Walter Group changed its name, the stench of its tarnished reputation remained. Everyone knew that Walter's group was teetering on the edge of collapse. Who would be foolish enough to step into the role of a sacrificial lamb eagerly?
Mr. White’s face turned grave. “Our only option now is to urgently sell of the portion of our shares to raise the funds. It’s the quickest way to get our hands on the cash. Otherwise, if we can’t gather the funds within a month, Mr. Carter will petition the court to freeze the Walter Group’s assets, leading to even more complications.”
My eyes grew somber. With no other options left, I had no choice but to make a desperate Campbell and take a drastic major.
Although I was reluctant to part with the shares my grandfather had left for me, I knew there was no other way to tackle the imminent crisis.
“Alright then! Let me know that the Walter Group is
Anya’s POV:After Rose exited the room, my phone started ringing.“Hello, Kester!”From the other end of the line, Kester’s tender voice comes through. “I heard the new company had its opening ceremony today. How did it go? Was it successful?”I smiled at Kester’s video on the phone. “Yes, its went smoothly. Thank you, Kester.”“There you go again. We are getting married soon, and you are still formal with me.Feeling a tad self-conscious, I playfully brushed my hair behind my ears. “I have wrapped things up here and made the part. I have already booked my flight for next Monday. I will fly over with you next Monday.”“Isn’t that so soon?”“Not at all.”“Alright then.”“The company just had its grand opening, and things are still hectic. I won’t keep you on the phone too long.”“Okay.”After hanging up the phone, I prepared to meet Brother Trumpet and take the opportunity to discuss the company’s business strategy.Trumpet’s POV:I was busy welcoming the Internet celebrity guests who
I arrived at Central Plaza Station at 9:30 AM the next day, well ahead of time.With the few insulated containers in my hand, I carried the cake and dumplings I had personally made.I couldn’t make up for everything I had done wrong, but I wanted to do what I could do for my children.At precisely 10:00 AM, a chauffeur-driven luxury car pulled up. Followed by a nanny car stopping in front of me.When the door opened, Jason and Jerry hopped out of the car.Shortly after, the nanny emerged, cradling Fora in her arms.“Mommy…” Jason and Jerry called out in their usual murder.I felt a pang in my heart, my eyes welling up with tears. I hurriedly approached my children. “Jason Jerry, Flora, I have missed you so much. Do you miss Mommy?”“Yes!”“Mommy…” The three little ones looked a bit weary as they looked at me.Although, the children still showed happiness, an invisible barrier seemed to have formed.After being separated for such a long time, even the strongest bond could slowly dissip
Anya’s POV:Soon after, the children hopped in the car.As I washed the car zooms away, a wave of melancholy washed over me, causing me to stand there for a while, lost in my emotions.It was evident that the three children had grown increasingly distant from me. If things continued down this path, it would not be long before they completely lost their reliance on me.With these thoughts weighing happily on, I felt an intense pang in my heart.“Just give me little more time, sweethearts. Mommy will bring you back to my side. No matter what happens, Mommy will never keep up on fighting for the custody.”I finally came home and resumed packing my belongings, preparing for my flight to G City the next day.It had been a long time since I spent quality time with Kester. This time I decided to stay there for at least a week.Miranda noticed me packing and hurriedly approached to offer assistance. “Anya, do you need help with these items?”“Miranda, don’t worry. I can handle it myself.”“Al
Anya’s POV:“Hello, Marinda!”From the other end of the line, her voice carried a sense of urgency. “Anya, you forget to grab your passport. Shall I bring you to right away?”I instinctively smacked my forehead upon hearing this. “Oh, gosh, I completely forget.”“Miranda, can you bring it to me in the elevator lobby? I will be waiting for you there.”“Sure thing.”I let out a yawn and stepped out of the car, heading towards the elevator lobby.In a hurry to leave earlier, I had absentmindedly left my passport on the dressing table, forgetting to pack it into my bag.The car’s gauge in needles began their countdown.After I stepped out of the car, I slowly walked approximately 90 to 120 feet, when suddenly a loud and ear-shattering explosion echoed behind me with a resounding “boom!”The blast from the exploding bomb sent car glass fragments flying through the air, accompanied by an intense wave of heat that violently propelled me off the ground.“Boom.”I instinctively lunged forward,
Evan’s POV:My heart sank and a wave of unease washed over.“Where can I find Anya? Which floor is she on?”“She is in the operating room of the third floor…”I was already sprinting towards the third floor, without waiting for to nurse to finish her sentence.I raced up to the third floor, gasping for breath.At the operating room entrance, Miranda anxiously scanned the area, her face was filled with fear.Upon seeing Miranda, my despair intensified.“Miranda, where is Anya?”She turned around and immediately burst into tears. “Mr. Carter, she is still in the operating room.”My eyes widened, and I felt a wave of dizziness.“Anya, you have to wake up. Please wake up.”The surgery stretched out for two hours.Finally, the operating room door swung open, and the doctor emerged.Miranda and I hurriedly approached. “Doctor, how is the patient?”The doctor’s expression turned solemn. “The patient suffered severe injuries from the explosion, particularly to the back. There is a possibility
Anya’s POV:“Congratulations, Mrs. Carter, you are pregnant and expecting to have more than one.” The gynecologist said as she handed the report to me.‘Pregnant?’ I was stunned for a moment before I took the report from her. I subconsciously touched my belly as I still couldn’t believe life was lying here. Had I heard right? I was really pregnant?’“Mrs. Carter, however, you must be careful. Our examination indicates that your uterine wall is fragile, and you are expecting more than one child, which is very dangerous for your life.” The doctor said to me seriously as she could see the shock in my eyes.“I understood,” I said as take the reports and prescription from her.I walked out of the hospital in a daze, as I didn’t know how what to do. I am conflicted about whether I should tell Evan about my pregnancy or not.Even though Evan and I had been married for two years, our marriage was nothing more than a marriage between two families. And if for not the incident three years ago, I
Anya’s POV:As I opened my eyes, a strong smell of disinfectant rushed into my nose. After looking around, I realized that I was in the hospital.Suddenly, what happened in the morning rushed into my mind and I touched my belly. “My child… My child. Is he safe?’As I was thinking, a doctor came into the ward for the examination. Seeing him, I quickly looked at him and asked, “Doctor, how is my child? Is he safe?’Hearing my question doctor looked at him and replied, “We have saved your child for now, however… I will suggest you give up one child. Your condition was originally not very good and after this accident, it became even more complicated. If you insist on keeping all the children, it may risk your life…”At that moment, the door of the ward opened, and a man walked into the ward. The man was wearing a black suit and gold-rimmed glasses. He was also holding a briefcase in his hand.However, I had never seen him before…It seemed that he had seen the confused look in my eyes and
Anya’s POV:As I looked at their excited expression, I couldn’t help but sneered. ‘It was no wonder people say that money can do anything! It might be my first time seeing the member of the Walter family so excited after seeing me…’ I scoffed inwardly.The reason I came back this time was all because of my grandfather. In the Walter family, he was the only person who was nice to me and loved me. And since he had left the Walter Group in my hands, I don’t want to disappoint him. After all, it was my grandfather’s whole life work.And I didn’t want to get ruined in the hands of those useless people.“What’s there to be surprised about it? How can someone like her not show up at a time like this? She is such a greedy person and it’s a lot of money! How can she let it go?”Suddenly a sarcastic voice fell into my ears.I pulled back my thoughts and turned my head to look in the direction of the voice. Then, I saw, Harry, Mia’s son looking at me angrily.Harry had never treated me as his el
