Evan’s POV:
I came back exhausted at 6:00 PM. I had not been home for three days.
If my daughter had not called me today, I would be waiting at the hospital at this point.
In the living room, three kids were waiting for me, and the sofa bit side by side.
“Dad, you are back.”
“Yes!” I replied in a muffled voice. My gloomy face made me look sad and weary.
The kids all looked at me solemnly. “Dad…”
I took off my coat and handed it to the servant. When I saw the children’s strange expressions, I could not help but ask, “What’s wrong? Why did you look so upset?”
Jason immediately said, “Dad, I heard that something happened to Mommy. Is that true?”
My face darkened. “Who told you that?”
After the accident, I reminded the butler not to tell the children about what happened to Anya.
Therefore, no one dares to talk about
Evan's POV:Looking at the three crying children, I felt even worse.Anya was their mother. If she died, no one could replace her in their heart.“Okay, don’t cry. As long as you listen to me, I will take you to see Mom.”When the children hear this, they quickly stop crying. “We promise we will good. We are very worried about Mom, and want to go to the hospital to see her now.”“You have to listen to me when you go to the hospital. Do you hear me?”“Got it? Don’t worry, Dad. We will be good.”I took a deep breath and said solemnly, “Then go have dinner now. Go to bed early after you are done eating. It’s already too late. I will take you to the hospital at morning tomorrow morning.”“Alright!”The kids didn’t dare to cry anymore and went as they were told.Kester’s POV:After Evan left, I finally had the c
Jerry’s POV:I was on my father's side and overheard the conversation between them.“Jason, you know how to restore the surveillance data, right? Please do your best to restore it. We must find that bad guy.”When Jason heard this, he wiped his tears.“Jerry, don’t worry. I will certainly find that bad guy who tried to kill Mom!”“Alright, you’ve already seen Mom! Hurry up and go home.”“Lillian, take the kids home.”“We were not leaving. We want to stay with Mom.”Dad put on a serious look, saying, “No, you can’t stay here, because it will affect your mom’s recovery. Go home right now. I promise I will bring you to see Mom again when she walks up.”I tugged Jason's sleeve and whispered, “Jason, let’s go! We will go back and investigate the bad guy who hurt Mom.”Jason nodded hard when he heard t
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,
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: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:“$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: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: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
Anya’s POV:I sat beside him, and an uncomfortable silence settled between us as we drove.Halfway through the journey, unable to contain myself any longer, I broke the silence, “Evan, how are you? Are you doing okay in there?”Evan raised an eyebrow, his gaze filled with complex emotions. “You don’t have to worry. The lawyer will handle everything.”“But I am worried. I admitted, my concern evident in my voice.“Worried about what? Worried that I will go to jail?” Evan smirked, his eyes playfully, fixed on me. His large hand could not resist resting on my shoulder, ready to pull me into an embrace.“Do you miss me?”I straightened up, trying to maintain a serious demeanor. “Can you stop fooling around? It’s not the time for jokes. Why are you in such a lighthearted mood?”“Don’t you miss me?” he persisted, not letting up on hi
Anya’s POV:Flora had not seen his Daddy for many days and didn’t know what had happened.“Mommy, where is Daddy?”“Evan, he…” My face darkened. I didn’t know how to explain it to Flora.“I have not seen Daddy for a few days. Where did he go?”“Daddy is overseas on a business trip. He might not be back for a long time.”Flora asked innocently, How long?”I could only comfort my daughter, “Dear, your daddy will be certainly come and see you soon as he come back.”Flora looked disappointed and helpless.“Miss Walter, Flora is recovering very well. She can be discharged.”“After she is discharged from the hospital, take her to return to the hospital for a checkup every week”“Okay, I see.”“Flora, you can be discharged.”Flora was very happy to hear that. &ldq
Anya’s POV:However, my worries now center more on Evan.He had already donated bone marrow twice to his daughter, and they claimed it could not affect his health, but could that be true? Each surgery depleted his life force.A single surgery was equivalent to releasing the vitality in his body.“You take good care of Flora. I will go see Evan.”The nurse replied professionally, “Got it.”After ensuring Flora’s well-being, I quickly return to Evan’s side.At this moment, Evan needed me more than Flora did.“Evan, I am back.”“Why did it take so long?”I took a deep breath, “Please, I only went to check on Flora. It didn’t even take five minutes.”Evan’s eye reddened, and he looked at me with a painful expression as if he were an abandoned orphan.Seeing this, my body went weak for no apparent reason. I held his
Coral’s POV:We hadn’t expected Mr. Carter to appear like this. In the past, he used to call the server directly and come to the secretary’s desk himself.His face darkened, and though he was in anger, he restrained himself from releasing his anger.“Focus on your work during working hours. Don’t gossip.”“Yes, yes, Mr. Carter.”He furrowed his eyebrows slightly and didn’t say anything more. He strode past us.“Oh, you scared me! My heart is still throbbing.”“Well, have you noticed? Mr. Carter’s temper seems to have improved.”“Yes! It's certainly much better than before, but still quite intimidating!” I patted my chest to calm myself down.We had worked for him for seven and eight years and knew his temperament very well.In the past, we had said something like this, and Mr. Carter immediately fired them. Even if he d
Evan’s POV:I hurriedly stepped into the private elevator, and the bodyguard intercepted Jenny. “Mr. Carter is about to attend a meeting. Miss Garcia, please stop following us!”Jenny snorted coldly and angrily went away.“Evan, I will make you cry and beg me someday.”Inside the conference room of the Carter Group, I was conducting a meeting with the director and executive as usual.“There are three main points in today’s meeting,” I announced. “First, the Green Bay project has officially commenced, and we need to prioritize advertising and promotion before the pre-sale phase.The directors, who were concerned that the Green Bay project might be delayed, finally breathed a sigh of relief.With the project now officially underway, their embezzled funds would not go to waste.I surveyed the room with a somber expression and continued, “Second, there will be a change in the personnel department. Some members of the management team will be leaving the company, so those involved should be
Evan’s POV:“What else do you need?” I asked impatiently.He smiled awkwardly and said with some embarrassment, “There are some financial issue in my company. I want your company’s financial director to help me verify the financial statements.”I frowned.“Oh, don’t worry. It won’t take long, just one day. Your company’s financial director is a top elite in the industry. I feel more at ease having him verify the statement.”“I wouldn’t feel at ease if someone has verified them.”I became even more annoyed.But since we are good friends, I reluctantly agreed to this small favor. “Fine! I will talk to the financial director.”“Then it’s settles. Thanks.”“Yeah, that’s it.” I finished speaking and ended the call abruptly.“Whose call was it?” Anya who had finished washing up asked curiously.Anya’s POV:Lately, I have been inexplicably worried about Evan, especially considering the aftermath of the investigation made by the Independent Commission against Corruption.“It’s no one importan
Anya’s POV:Evan had taken the initiative to establish trust fund worth more than $2 billion for each of his kid. This means that his kid would be financially secure, no matter what happened to the Carter Group.“Evan, don’t you think the kids are too young for this?” I asked with a voice filled with concern.He pursed his lips and said calmly, “You never know what happened tomorrow. In case something happened to me in the future, I want to make sure that both my kids and you enjoy financial security.”My eyes were welded up with tears.Evan is so considerate that he has thought about everything.The kids still confused about the situation eagerly asked, “Mommy, What is it?”I pondered for a moment, then leaned over to affectionately pat my son’s head. “This show the immense love your Daddy has for you. You should treat your Daddy well.”“Oh,” the three little kids' eyes blinked in confusion.Jerry, as a clever boy, quickly showered his father with flattery. “Thank you, Daddy. I promi
Anya’s POV:After the song concluded, Jason and Jerry catching a large bouquet of sunflowers, presented it to their little sister. “Flora, Happy Birthday!”Flora beamed, sweetly replying, “Thank you! Happy Birthday to you too, Jason and Jerry!”I smiled, presenting the careful, prepared gifts one by one to my children. “These are gifts Mommy prepared for you.”“Thank you, Mommy.”Flora received her favorite Barbie doll, while Jason and Jerry were thrilled to receive transformers and Iron Man action figures.As the three were only small kids, the gifts for them were not extravagantly expensive items, but they contained deep affection.Once the three little ones received their gift from me, they turned their expectant eyes to Evan, “Daddy, what gift did you prepare?”“Haha!” Evans smiled faintly and had his assistant bring an exquisitely wrapped box.The exquisiteness and elegance of the box gave away that it contained something valuable.“Wow, what’s this?” The three little ones were p
Jenny’s POV:Upon learning that Zachary was with Tina, I looked at him with disdain. “Zachary, have you lost your mind? You got involved with that woman Tina?”Zachary gave a faint smile, “What’s the problem? Is it against the law?”“Hmph, Zachary, you know about her shady past, don’t you?” I can see that your taste is deteriorating,” I remarked.“She’s been with so many men, and you are not disgusted.” I continued.Zachary frowned, displeased, “Jenny don’t talk'll offer anymore. If you dare, there will be consequences.”My eyes widened. I had never seen Zachary so protective of women before.“Zachary, are you falling in love with her?” I asked.He shrugged indifferently, “That’s my business. I don’t need to explain myself to you.”“Zachary, she can’t have children. Her uterus has been removed. Furthermore, she has spent time in a mental hospital.” I revealed.“Dad and Grandpa will never accept her into our family. Please don’t play with fire…”Zachary replied impatiently, “Enough, st
