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
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: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
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
Author’s POV:They all died.At this moment, the other four realized what was going on and were shocked.They were pleading with the leader. They didn’t force him to split the money.But he shot.It was the same person who shot Evan just now.“Sometime, this is what happens!” The man with the pig mask slammed the gun on the table.His fierce temperament frightened everyone.“Do you have killed them?”“I told you, we are going to use this money for something grand! As long as you are part of my team, this money will grow exponentially in the future! Cars, houses, and women mean nothing. Don’t fixate on temporary pleasure!” The masked robber’s agitation grew with each word, his tone becoming frightenedly ferocious.Upon hearing this, the four robbers fell silent, refraining from saying anything further.A tall and lean robber suggested, “Well then, let’s stash away all the money for now!”“Boss, do you think Evan will involve the police? Perhaps, we should lay low for a while,” one of t
Frank’s POV:My second son has been more outstanding than my eldest son. He was smart and good at studying.It seemed that the Walter family’s remaining assets were better left to my second son.“David, when will you come back?”He paused briefly, contemplating the question, “That’s hard to say. If it was a brief, it could be around four to five days. However, if it is a long lifetime frame, it might be extended for one month or two.”I sighed heavily. “Then let’s talk about when you come back.”He looked curious. “What do you want to tell me?”I could not help but scold Harry again. “Sigh, ask your brother. Look what he did.”“Harry?”“He sold the house in S town and the two shops. He squandered them all! When you return, I will divide the property between the two of you. From now on, you will each be responsible for safeguarding your assets. If we don’t do it now, your brother will spend our well sooner or later.”“Oh!” He replied indifferently.He didn’t express any dissatisfaction
Anya’s POV:Having fallen into the trap yesterday, the reporters were even more determined today. Their thirst for information from Evan was unquenchable. It seemed they would not give up until they achieved their goal.Contrary to his evasive attitude the previous day, Evan now calmly faces the camera lenses of the journalists. “Yes, I have officially passed on the position to the president of Carter Group to Miss Walter.” He revealed as he maintained a composed demeanor.“Miss Walter is now the new president of the Carter Group, feel free to interview her and ask any question,” Evan announced, his voice carrying a faint smile.With that, he smoothly pushed me into the spotlight, directly in front of the eager reporters.Camera flashes nearly blinded me and a sea of microphones thrust forward, each vying for my attention.“Miss Walter, can you confirm that you have taken over the Carter Group?” The reporter inquired, their voices filled with anticipation.“Is it true that you and Mr.
Anya’s POV:The Carter family’s dinner time was usually at seven in the evening. Evan used to work overtime often, so the children did not have to wait for him to come back for dinner.“Flora, how are you today? Are you feeling better?” Evan lovingly carried his daughter.Flora smiled sweetly, “Yes, I am much better now.”“Mm, From tomorrow onwards, Daddy and Mommy might have to stay longer at the company for work. I am afraid we won’t have much time to accompany you! Let Lillian take care of you, okay?”“Oh, alright!” Flora’s eyes lost bright suddenly.Seeing the disappointment in the children’s eyes, Evan smiled lovingly, “Daddy will take you out. Christmas when Daddy is done with work.”“Alright, it’s a deal.”“It’s a deal!”Evan had taken advantage of the limited time to hand over his work to me as soon as possible so that I could quickly familiarize myself with the company’s work model and management.Otherwise, when we were caught off guard, the consequences would be catastrophi
Evan’s POV:That was true. When I was with other women, they racked their brains to please me.Even Princess Martha would think of ways to make me happy. Only when I was with Anya was I a little depressed.Not to mention feeling pleased, it was already a blessing for me not to fly into a rage while staying with Anya.Anya narrowed her eyes and said calmly, “I didn’t ask you to be with me. If you think I am bored, you can find another woman. I won’t stop you.”I choked in anger.Look, this damn woman is so unromantic. She didn’t even know what was flirting at all, let alone reading people's expressions.“Then I look for another woman.” I deliberately smiled teasingly, trying to trigger her jealousy.“Go ahead! As long as you are happy, you can do whatever you want.” Anya replied seriously, she didn’t look angry at all.I was so angry that I couldn’t h
Anya’s POV:The car was slowly driving out of the garage. The reporters followed it out of the parking lot. Even if we could only take a photo of the side profile of the person involved, this kind of news would still attract a lot of traffic.Coral came into the office and replied, “Mr. Carter, the reporters have been lured away!”“Okay, I got it.”“Honey, let’s go!” Evan smiled dotingly.I tried to retort, but in the end, I held it in. Moreover, I was in a hurry to go home, not in the mood to argue with him.When we came out of the staff passageway, Evan drove a backup car!I got into the passenger seat. After I fastened my seat belt, I could not help but massage my sore waist and neck, “I am so tired!”After Evan started the car, he looked at me. “Are you tired? I will give you a massage when we get back.”I rolled my eyes and thought that he was j
Zachary’s POV:Tears streamed down Jenny’s face as she looked at me in disbelief. “You are so horrible. How can you do that? I can;t see you do it. I am going to tell Evan…”Seeing this I panicked, “Jenny! Put it down quickly and stopped causing trouble.”Evan was not in prison yet. If he found out the truth, the consequences would be unimaginably terrible.Seeing that Jenny was about to run out, Tina picked up the vase beside her and smashed it hard on the back of Jenny’s head.“Bang!”“Ahh…” Jenny groaned. Her vision turned blank, and then she fell heavily on the ground.Dark red blood instantly flowed from the back of her head.Seeing my sister get hurt, I was easily frightened out my wits. “Jenny! Jenny! Tina, she is my sister. How could you hit her so hard?”Tina looked innocent. “If I don’t do anything to her. She will ruin our plan. If she spreads our secret, Evan won’t let us off.”“But you can’t hit my sister so hard.” I felt frightened, but when I saw the blood on the ground
Tina’s POV:After a hot battle, Zachary was so tired that he collapsed to the side.I looked at him in disdain, and my heart was fully despised.Although he was a playboy, he had always played with too many women. So, his body had long been overdrawn.He could not satisfy me at all.I was purely using him against Evan.I got up on Wednesday to the bathroom to take a shower. I turned on the tap and washed the traces he left behind in disgust.“Hmph, what a waste of man. A loser? So obsessed with that thing. How disgusting.” After cursing in my heart, I fiercely rubbed my body.Other than hitting Evan, I also missed Paul. I missed the satisfaction and the joy that he had brought me.Unfortunately, he was sentenced to 20 years in prison. I could no longer find a love for who understood me as well as Paul.After showering, I wrapped my hair in a towel and came out of the bathroom.The spacious and luxurious office became a paradise for the two of them. Most of the time, employees rarely c
Author’s POV:The reporters were interviewing when they saw Liam and his assistant walk out of the company.They swarmed towards Liam again, “Mr. Miller, may I have a word with you?”Dozens of microphones were handed over, and more than ten bodyguards stepped forward to stop them. Unfortunately, they were outbound and could not resist their reporter's madness.“Mr. Miller, it heard that Mr. Carter voluntarily resigned from the president’s position. What do you think about this?”“Will Mr. Carter pass this position to you?”“Did Mr. Carter pass the president position to his ex-wife? Is that true?” The reporters were bombarded with questions.Lima's face was dark, and they didn’t say a word. Surrounded by the bodyguards, he finally passed through the crowd and made his way into his car.Reporters for broadcasting live and were even dying to be the first to report the latest news.“The Carter Group's President Evan Carter resigned voluntarily and will face 20 years in prison.”“Evan’s Ca
Evan’s POV:My heart ached even more, and tears warmed up again.No one could keep clean in the dirty business world, let alone stay out of trouble.The punishment for my crime might be severe or light. I could be sentenced to death or to be considered not to have committed a vicious crime.It was up to how the lawyers would fight for it. It would be best if I could be out of the hook after paying some fine.If it could not be solved by money, I would ask the lawyer to help me get a lesser charge so that I would be released from jail a few years earlier.“Don’t ask me anymore. It’s not good for you to know too much.”She sniffed and punched me twice. “Evan, you bastard! Why do you always make me cry?”“Stop crying. This is not the time to cry. Don’t worry. I will be in jail for a few years at most. I will be out soon. Be good when I am not around.”Anya didn’t answer and cried more bitterly.I raised my eyebrows slightly and joked around with her. “If I am only sentenced to three or f
Author’s POV:The face of the Liam, who was sitting below the stage, stiffened, and a complicated look flashed across his cloudy, gloomy eyes.Evan handed the Carter Group to an outsider rather than to his uncle.He couldn’t understand or accept this.No one expected Evan to suddenly make such a decision.“Mr. Carter, you must be kidding.” Everyone’s expectant gaze instantly turned into contempt for Anya.They admitted that Anya was not an ordinary woman. Otherwise, she should not have been able to get the man who was as brilliant as Evan and Kester so obsessed with her.It was not because she was outstanding at work.Moreover, she couldn’t run a small company like Walter Group well. How could she manage such a huge company like Carter Group?“I am not joking. If I am no longer around, Miss Walter will be your chairman and take over my work.”“I will temporarily transfer all my authority to Miss Walter.”Everyone looked at each other. their eyes popping out in shock.Liam’s POV:My fa
