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
Kester’s POV:“Boom!”My heart sank a wave of unease washing over me. My eyebrows twitched involuntarily. “What had happened Anya?”“Anya has been involved in the car accident, and she is currently undergoing a critical treatment of the hospital!” Miranda’s voice trembled with emotion.My mind went blank, a chilling emptiness settling with me. I felt as though I had been plunged into the icy abyss.“What’s going on? What happened to Anya?”Anya was getting ready to head to the airport this morning, but little did she know, there was a bomb planted in the car. Anya has been critically injured in the explosion and undergoing life-saving treatment…”“What?” I gasped, feeling a chill drown my spine. My mind was buzzing with disbelief.“How is Anya now? What is her condition?”“Mr. Helsen, Anya is currently in the hospital undergoing treatment. She just underwent surgery, but she has yet to regain consciousness!”“The doctor said, Ania is in critical condition and nearly closing monitor in
Evan’s POV:My face contorted with anger as I furrowed my brow.But for now, Anya was still in grave danger, and it wasn’t time to dwell on those matters.The most crucial thing was to save Anya’s life.“Anya, you have to wake up!”Through the transparent barrier of the intensive care unit, I gazed at Anya’s motionless form, connected to a myriad of tubes and monitors.It had been day and night, yet there was no sign of regaining consciousness.The following day, guided by a nurse, Kester hurriedly approached the hospital ward.At the ward’s entrance, Kester and I locked gazes, the air thick with intense hatred, as if bitter rivals meeting after a long absence.“Evan, did you do this to Anya? Tell me the truth, was it you?”“Are you insane? Do you think I would stoop so low as to harm Anya? You truly lost your mind!”“It has to be you. No one else could have done this.”I coldly avoided Kester, his gaze piercing through me. The weight of worry and concern for Anya had left no room for
Frank’s POV:Harry, on the other hand, was very overjoyed. “God is fair! That bitch deserves the punishment. God, please let her die as soon as possible! As long as she dies, the Walter Group’s shares will be returned to Walter family. We will take our things back! God, please take that damn bitch away right now.”I could not take it anymore. “No matter what, she is your sister.”Harry sneered, “She is not my sister. She is our enemy. Dad, didn’t you want her die in the past? Justice from God. She was injured in the explosion because God could not stand anymore and punished in this way.”I let out a long sigh.Looking at me, Harry was a little unhappy. “Dad, why are you sad for her? Think about how she treated us. If it weren’t for her, our family would not have been turned to out like this. It would be good things if she died.”A hint of gloat flashed across Harry’s eyes as he spoke, “Dad, according to the law, as her immediate family, you have the right to net her property after dea
Anya’s POV:Although the City hospital was good, the Avery Women’s Hospital is a high-end maternity and children's Care Hospital. It specializes in taking care of pregnant women and infants.All the rich wives and celebrities in X city like to give birth there.“Oh, okay. I listen to you.” I said perfunctorily.I would go along with whatever Evan said now. Evan could do whatever he wanted.I had already made up my mind that I would not give birth to this child.And I most certainly would not get together with Evan.I had already secretly called Michael in the meantime, and asked him to deal with the factory in M city.At the same time, I called Brother Trumpet and said that I wanted to quit the media group.Now, I would take advantage of the time to raise as much cash as I could. The more the better.When my calf was healed, I would find a suitable time to leave Evan.“Why aren't you saying anything? Why are you acting strangely recently?”“Not at all!”Evan’s POV:I frowned. I still
Mark’s POV:I bought a few security guards and went straight to Miss Linken’s office.With a dark expression, I told Miss Linken about Evan’s decision.When Miss Linken heard this, she thought she had heard wrongly and was shocked. “What? Mr. Carter froze my shares and dividends? What’s going on?”I pulled a long face and said sternly, “Miss Linken, you violated the company’s rules. The company is now conducting a full investigation.”When Miss Linken heard this, she was even more enraged. “Are you kidding me? I am a director of the company.”“Your shares had been acquired by the company. You are no longer a shareholder of the Carter Group.”Miss Linken’s POV:I was completely dumbfounded when I heard this.I felt like a lightning bolt out of the blue. I was thunderstruck. It took a long time before I returned to my senses for a long time.“Are you kidding me? I have worked for the Carter Group for more than 30 years. I have been conscientious and willing to do anything.”“You are wro
Evan’s POV:I had returned to the midst of Miss Linken’s speech.I had left my proposal on the conference table.When he returned to retrieve it, I heard Miss Linken’s sarcastic remarks.This time, I was completely furious.When Miss Linken saw me, she also looked embarrassed. “Mr. Carter, why are you back again?”My eyes darkened. I ignored Miss Linken and took out a proposal lying on the conference table, leaving.In the past, I had always been polite to her because she was the older and senior member of the company. However, some people took advantage of their seniority and gossiped about me behind my back.More importantly, Miss Linken dared to criticize Anya.Miss Linken’s POV:After Evan left, Mr. Smith was somber, “I told you not to say much, but you don’t listen. Now you are in trouble.”My nostrils flared, and I adjusted my glasses. A trace of disdain appeared on my well-mannered face. “I am telling the truth. Anya might not be pregnant with Mr. Carter’s child. She is allowed
Jenny’s POV:Evan waved his hand to stop his bodyguard from approaching.“What do you want? I will give you five minutes. Tell me now.”My eyes turned red as tears flowed uncontrollably, “Evan, I will ask even one last time. Are you not going to give me a chance?”Evan frowned, “Jenny, I have told you many times that we are not compatible. Even if you ask me a hundred times, I will give the same answer!”“Evan, I don’t understand what is so good about Anya? A bitch like her has cheated on you so many times. Don’t you mind at all? Don’t feel disgusted. I look down upon you. I truly despise you…”Before I could finish, Evan’s expression suddenly changed. He said coldly, “Miss Garcia, this is my last warning. You can scold me however you want, but if you dare to slander Anya again, I won’t be courteous to you anymore.”I was so angry that my heart was about to explode. “Evan, did I say something wrong? You didn’t mind at all about Kester and her? You don’t mind that she is fooling around
Jenny’s POV:Ten minutes later, Jimmy entered the office with Marlowe.Marlowe walked in and looked at the mess on the ground. He teased, “What, who provoked Miss Gracia?”I rolled my eyes coldly and growled, “What brings the prestigious President Yanice here today?”A sly look appeared in Marlowe’s eyes as he said in a glib tone. “Miss Garcia, long time no see. I miss you.”I snorted, “If you have something to say, just say it.” I rolled my eyes arrogantly and impatiently.Marlowe might be one of the wealthy second generation, but he was not popular in the elite circle of the rich second generation.After all, Marlowe had been imprisoned for nine years. Moreover, his reputation was not good. The elite circle of affluent second generation was not very willing to associate with him.“Look at what you are saying, Miss Garcia. You are so distant…”
Anya’s POV:I frowned. “Evan, are you serious?”He looked solemn, “Of course. There is a piece of land in the back of the house that was bought a few years ago. It had just been used. It come handy now. We will build children’s playground for our children to play.”I frowned and looked at Evan, transfixed.“Also, I have thought about it. My next step is to invest in a school.”As he spoke, Evan touched his chin and said regretfully, “Tsk. Why didn’t I think of investing in this sector in the past? If we had invested earlier, it would be more convenient for the children. However, it's not too late. When they go to middle school and university, it will come in handy. I have already thought about it. When they were in middle school, I would send them overseas for education. During vacation, they can come back to X city for private classes.”I was completely speechless after heari
Anya’s POV:I was thinking silently on the hospital bed, not reacting to him. After receiving utensils from him, I ate mechanically.If I left him, I needed money.I plan to sell the properties in M city and Green town. At the same time, I would also sell the properties overseas.Evan had once given me black card. I had used part of it, but there was still over $20 million on it.I could use this time to cash out all these things and then choose the right time to leave him.Seeing that I only ate rice and didn’t pick any of the other dishes, Evan leaned over and peered at me few seconds. He asked suspiciously, “What’s wrong? Why do you look like this? Are you feeling unwell?”“I am fine. It’s just that my calf hurts a little,” I replied quietly.“I will call the doctors and tell them to prescribe you some painkillers.”“No need. It's not good to take too many painkillers!”When Evan heard this, he held my hand again. “Anya, I am sorry. I won’t force you anymore. If there is anything,
Anya’s POV:I didn’t reply. Due to the anesthetic, I was in a daze. I turned over slightly and continued sleeping.At 6:00 PM, Miranda came to deliver dinner with one servant.Jason, Jerry, and Flora all followed.As soon as the three children entered the ward, they couldn’t help but ask, “Mommy, do you have a baby?”I looked at my children and hesitated.The three little fellows didn’t know that I had experienced the moment of life and death when I jumped off the house today. They thought that it was only because I was pregnant that I was hospitalized.Of course, it was also because Evan ordered not to let anyone tell the children that I had jumped today.“Mommy, can I look at your belly?”“Is Mommy going to give birth to a little sister or brother again?”Evan replied on my behalf. “That’s right! Are you happy?”“Yes, if Mommy gives birth to a baby, will she still love us?”“Silly, of course!”Jason grinned, “I want a little sister.”Jerry chimed in, “I want a sister, too!”“Mommy,
Evan’s POV:What a surprise.I had wanted to have another child, but Anya refused. The last time Anya accidentally miscarried made me feel heartbroken.It was great that she is finally pregnant again.In the ward, I could not contain my joy. “Anya, are you awake?”Anya was lying on the hospital bed. Her calf was already injured, and she was a little out of her wits.I have forgotten about the conflict and argument just now. I excitedly shook Anya’s arm, “Anya, I have some good news for you.”Anya’s face was numb.I continued, “The doctor said that you are pregnant? We are having another baby.”Anya’s POV:When I heard this, my eyelids dropped slightly, but I still didn’t reply.The child came at the wrong time. I didn’t want to give birth to his child again.Evan buried his head in my belly, sticking close to this unborn child. “Anya, are you happy?”“I hope this child is a girl so Flora can have company. However, it doesn’t matter if we have a boy. Anywhere, the more, the better. Aft
