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
Tina’s POV:That year, Grace had brought Evan to the Walter family residence for a visit.When it was around lunchtime, Evan was swimming in the pool.He suddenly got a cramp in his foot and drowned.Although the Walter family had servants, unlike the Cater family, we didn’t have that many housekeepers and bodyguards.Hence, when Evan was drowning, Anya was the first person to spot him.As the situation was so critical, Anya dove in to save him before she could call for help.After rescuing him out of the pool, Anya ran off to call for help, and I rushed over to Evan’s side to take care of him.After he woke up, he asked me, “Did you save me?”I knew he had misunderstood the situation but nodded anyway.It was also from that day onward that his attitude toward me had completely changed.Despite being five years older than me, he refused to date anyone else, because he had been waiting for me to grow up.“After all these years… why is he suddenly asking such a question? Could it be tha
Evan’s POV:Hearing her groans, I quickly let her go.“Anya…”I wanted to say that I was sorry, but those words just couldn’t come out of my mouth.I simply couldn’t bring myself to say that I was sorry.After all, it was not my nature to be subservient to women.It had always been the women who surrounded me, racking their brains how to please me.All I had to do was give them the slightest signal and a whole bunch of women would swoop toward me.So for me, lowering my head humbly in front of a woman was akin to taking my life.Anya’s POV:Evan had a thick wide bandage on his head, and half of his face was swollen. Besides, he was also clad in a hospital gown.Truthfully, he looked a little creepy.I looked at him coldly and said, “It’s past three o’clock in the morning. What the hell are you doing here?”“I have just come to see you!”“You must be crazy! If you don’t leave soon, I will call the cops!”“Then go ahead and call the cops!”I was furious. I swallowed and frowned, asking,
Bodyguard’s POV:The next morning, we all were in a frenzy.“Mr. Carter is missing.”“Call Mr. Carter immediately and ask where is he.”“He didn’t bring his phone. According to the GPS in his car, he should be in the area, but there is no sign of him.”“What are you guys even hired for? How could you not follow him?”“You very well about Mr. Carter’s temper. If he doesn’t allow anyone to follow him, who would dare to do so?”“So, what should we do now? Where could Mr. Carter has gone? How would we answer when old Mrs. Carter asked about him later?”“Oh my God. Evan Carter hasn’t been kidnapped, has he?”“What else can we do? Go and find him before its too late.”We all were panicking. After all, it’s our job to protect Mr Carter. 24 hours a day.Now that he was missing, there was no way we wouldn’t be afraid.The previous night, Mr. Cater wouldn’t let any of us follow him. We didn’t dare to disobey him, nor did we dare to let him out of our sight.Thus, what all of us could do was to
Anya’s POV:Emily opened the door, and Kester walked in, carrying several packages in his hands.“Anya, I have brought you some breakfast and some daily necessities…”Before he could finish his sentence, his eyes fell on Evan, and he paused.“What is he doing here?”“Kester don’t get me wrong! I don’t know what was wrong with him last night. He came all the way here.”Hearing that, Evan tightened his grip on my hand and looked at Kester tauntingly.“Anya and I are married. We don’t need someone else to tell us what to do.” he said.I struggled a little. “Evan, we are divorced already!”“We can still marry, can’t we?”“You are nuts. Let go of me!”Kester asked, frowning, “Anya, what is he doing here?”From the looks of his face, I knew he had figured out that Evan had spent the night here.Evan sneered, “Why can’t I be here?”“Kester, I will explain it to you later! Evan, you have to go! If you don’t, I will call the police!”Evan gulped and looked grimly at me. “Anya, I am going to as
Coral POV:When Old Mrs. Cater arrived at the hospital in the morning and found that Mr. Cater was missing, anxiousness pulsed through her veins, causing her to almost lose consciousness.“Where is Evan? Haven’t you found him yet?”“Last night, Mr. Carter insisted on driving out here. He wouldn’t allow anyone to follow him!”“You bunch of losers. If something happened to Evan, I will bury all you with him.”Old Mrs. Cater had a fit.Being in my 70s, she had a weak heart.Once she got mad, her heart would ache and her brain would be deprived of oxygen.Seeing this, her assistant swiftly whipped out an oxygen tank and put the mask on my face.After inhaling a few mouthfuls of oxygen she calmed down a little.“Hurry up and find him. We have to find him.”I quickly assured her, “Yes, yes. We are already looking. Kenny headed out with some people to look for Mr. Carter last night. I will call him now to ask him if he has found Mr. Carter.”Just then, Tina also hurried to the hospital. “Whe
Liam’s POV:I froze on this spot as well.Even my workout was demagnetized.“Oh my god, even Mr. Miller’s work card is invalid. Anya has gone too far! She is so heartless.”“Hurry up and get Anya here. We want her to explain it to us. What the hell does she want from us?”I was the company’s second-largest shareholder and Evan’s biological Uncle. I didn’t expect Anya to be so ruthless, even to me!“That’s right! Hurry up and get her out. She has to explain it to us. This is too much. How could she treat us like this?”“Miss Walter said that if you didn’t submit your work reports within three days, you are giving up your shares in the company.” The lobby manager reminded.Miss Linken's lips trembled from anger, “What’s wrong with her? It’s fine if she doesn’t take us seriously. How can she be so mean to Mr. Miller? If she doesn’t come out, we will break in!”Anya’s POV:I was working in my office when Mark hurried to my office to report what happened, “Miss Walter, Mr. Miller and Ms. L
Anya’s POV:My head buzzed. I looked blankly at my son, not knowing how to answer.Jason paused briefly before continuing, “Mom, Mr. Helsen is good. We like him very much too. But we just want him to be our Uncle Helsen forever, not our dad.”Jerry immediately said in response to Jason’s words, “That’s right! Mom, you said that you would wait for Dad to come out, right? Mom, can you not abandon Dad? I want our family to be together forever.”I looked at the kid helplessly, saying, “You silly, who told you this?”“We saw the news on the Internet.”I took a deep breath and stroked the children’s heads one by one.“Sometimes what you see might not be the truth. That’s the nonsense written by the media. Do you believe what Mom told you or the story the people others made?”When the kids heard they said in unison, “We believe in mom, of course!”“That’s good. Since you trust me, I will tell you what happened. I met up with Mr. Helsen because I had something important to discuss with him. I
Anya’s POV:I frowned.I was asking the board members to report on their work, not the employees.It seemed like the employees who had just participated in the meeting were frightened.“Alright, just leave them on the table!”“Miss Walter, do you have any other instructions?”“No. That’s all!”“Then we will go out first.”“Okay.”After Mark and David left, I stroked my forehead and called Donald.I wanted to ask if the Green Bay project was done.Ring! Ring! Ring!After ringing for a moment, Donald answered quickly. “Hello!”“Mr. Donald, it’s me, Anya!”“Oh, it’s Miss Walter! How may I help you?” Donald asked respectfully.“How is the Green Bay project going?”Donald pondered for a moment before he answered. “Well, its in progress. There should be results soon.”“When can the construction site be resumed?”“We are waiting for documents to be approved. As soon as its approved, we can get back to work. Miss Walter, don’t worry. I have been keeping an eye on it. I will report you if ther
Author’s POV:Anya was Evan’s beloved woman, and they could not afford to offend her before.But now everyone knows that she cuckolded Evan.She was nothing without Evan’s support, and no one would take her seriously.The look in Anya’s eyes turned stern, “It’s been ten days since we started work after the New Year holiday. You guys should at least summarize what you have done during this time, right?”“Miss Walter, you must be kidding. You have not been to the office for five days, but you are asking us to do a work summary. If you want us to report on our work, you should take the lead to report on yours, right? After all, you are the new head of the cooperation, " the female director said sarcastically.She joined Carter Group when Evan’s grandfather was in charge of the company and has been working here for almost 30 years.Even Evan had to show some respect to her.She
Author’s POV:A big-eyed beauty at the front desk whispered to the customer service manager beside her, “Tsk tsk. I didn’t expect Miss Walter dare to come back to work. I thought she was too ashamed to see anyone and hid away!”The customer service manager pursed her lips. Then she sighed and commented, “You are overthinking! After all, that’s Miss Water. She has been through a lot and has seen everything. The rumors this time have nothing to her!”Another customer service representative with a round face and short hair mocked, “That’s right! Miss Walter is famous for attracting handsome and wealthy men. Some people had to work hard their entire lives. However, Miss Walter goes faster and higher in her career than anyone by using men as her stepping stone. In just two years, she has become the richest woman in X city. “Well, people have different storylines. I have to say, Miss Walters’ tracks are
Anya’s POV:When I heard this, I couldn’t help but frown.Tibetan mastiffs are large-sized and fierce. I don’t think having one with my children is a good idea!Thus, I said, “Well! Maybe not a Tibetan mastiff? It will be troublesome if he bites you. I think a teddy or a corgi sounds like a better choice.”Hearing this Jerry shook his head heavily. “Mommy, I don’t like small dogs. I like Tibetan mastiffs. They look like lions. By the way, Daddy also keeps many animals in the backyard. However, Daddy never allowed us to enter!”Jason and Flora were playing with building blocks. However, they run over quickly when they hear Jerry could have a pet.Jason carried Flora over since Flora could not walk herself.Flora got sick very often, so she was thin. Jason has no difficulties carrying her.Jason placed his sister on the sofa. Then he sat on my other side and said, “Mommy, I wa
Anya’s POV:I went up to take a look. Coral’s leg was still splinted. However, Kody’s injury was more severe. Kody lay on the bed and couldn’t get up on his own.Although I have not visited them at the hospital over the past few days, the Butler reported everything to me.Coral had no problem recovering. However, Kody has difficulties recovering as before. Even if Kody recovered, he could probably not drive again. What’s worse? There was the possibility that Kody would be disabled.Luckily, the insurance company compensated lot for Coral and Kody. The Carter Group also compensated a decent amount of money for Coral and Kody getting work injuries.The compensation for Kody and Coral was enough for them to live well for the rest of their lives if they did not squander the money. They would probably quit their jobs at the Carter Group when their injuries are healed.I comforted them gently. “Don’t worry
Evan’s POV:When speaking, Jenny looked at me with desire, hoping I would give her an answer.I looked at Jenny and wanted to reject her.She didn’t look good.The features made her look aggressive.I thought for a while, then said, “Give me some time to consider it.”Jenny's eyes lit up when she heard that. She said, “How much time do you need to decide?”I replied, “Huh. Marriage is not a child’s play. I had to get out of jail first, even if I wanted to marry you.”Jenny was overjoyed when she heard that she cried. “Evan, does that mean you are willing to give me a chance and date me?”In the past, I mercilessly rejected Jenny every time she confused her feelings with me.However, this time my answer was ambiguous. My attitude was different this time.I said, “Well, I can give it a try. However, I need time to get into a relationship.”She immediately replied, “It's okay. I can wait!”When we were talking, Jenny suddenly became suspicious. “Did you lie to me? What if you change your
Evan’s POV:I walked into the room before Jenny and waited for three minutes.I didn’t want to see Jenny. However, I changed my mind because I was angry at Anya.I thought, “Anya can meet Kester and stay with him for a few days. Why can’t I have some moments with another woman? I got piss Anya off.”I sat opposite Jenny. Jenny’s eyes lit up when she saw me. Then she hurriedly grabbed the phone from the wall. “Evan, I am here to see you again. How have you been recently?”I replied coldly, “I am doing okay.”Jenny frowned slightly and said sorrowfully, “Look at you. You have lost weight. Although you have some privileges here, the prison can never compare to your house. Evan, I wish you could come out tomorrow.”Hearing this, I frowned.Noticing my cold attitude, Jenny changed the topic, “Evan, I have bad news for you. My brother passed away.”As she spoke, her eyes turned red, and tears welled up in her eyes.When I heard this, I felt upset. However, I could not comfort Jenny through
