Anya’s POV:A week passed in the blink of an eye.I had been hospitalized for nearly a month. My health gradually became better.I could be discharged today.After I was discharged from the hospital, I immediately went to Green Town.My media company in Green Town started to get on the right track. The company interviewed some actors and actresses.The company had signed actresses with six artists, including those referenced by Brother Trumpet. However, those artists were all streamers responsible for selling products online. The media companies needed diverse artists.Rose walked to me and handed over a proposal, saying, “Miss Walter, this is the latest proposal. Mr. Trumpet says he plans to create a talent show. He wants to choose some female candidates who are good at singing and dancing to form a girl group. This is the preliminary proposal. We will complete a detailed plan soon. Now we are working on getting sponsorship and discussing cooperation with local television station.”I
Kester’s POV:After hanging up the phone, I called Ellen.Her popularity had declined a little recently. However, she was still a top celebrity in the Entertainment industry.Besides, her singing and dancing skills were excellent. I considered her perfect to be the judge of the show.She was happy to receive a call from me. She immediately picked up the phone and greeted, “Hello, Mr. Helsen.”I said straightforwardly, “Ellen, here is a job for you.”She cried, “Really? Thank you, Mr, Helsen!”I said, “A media company in Green Town plans to hold a talent show. I think you are a perfect person for it.”She was stunned when she heard that. She asked, “Mr. Helsen, are you asking me to be a participant in a talent show?”I explained, “No, I am asking you to be a judge for the talent show.”She was shocked when she heard this. She cried. “Be a judge? Me?”“Am I too young to be a judge?”I seemed to know what she was worried about. Thus, I encouraged her, “Ellen, you are from a professional
Trumpet’s POV:The next in the conference room, Anya announced, “The judges and mentors for show Ultimate Girls have been selected.”When Rose and I heard this, we asked anxiously, “Who are they?”She paused for a moment. Then, she replied, “Adriana, Nathan Lawson, and Leo White.”Rose could not help her give Anya a thumbs up. She complimented, “Wow, Miss Walter, you are amazing. How did you manage to invite the three of them? I had to admit Adriana is not popular as before. However, she was the top star in the past two years. I can’t believe we can have her on our show!”Another executive, Eleanor Holmes, agreed and said, “Exactly. Besides, Nathan won the Golden Camera Ward last year. I didn’t expect him to accept the invitation!”“That’s Mr. Helsen’s credit for letting us have Nathan on the show.”“Anyway. It’s still worth celebrating since we have had a great judges and mentors.”When I heard the discussion, my face darkened slightly.I thought, “It seems that Anya and Kester love
Anya’s POV:I was dumbfounded when I heard these requests.I hated the most people who cheated through social networks on money.Thus, I said, “How can we do that? Our slogan is fair and square!”Rose looked serious. She said, “Miss Walter, Mr. Fletcher sponsors over $1 million. He only has a one request. This is referencing a talent. Moreover, I checked the talent profile. She graduated from dancing school and is a professional without any doubt. To put bluntly, Mr. Fletcher only wants the candidate to perform on television so that she can have better career in the entertainment industry.”Eleanor followed Rose to add, “The Mellow Coffee’s CEO has the same intention.”When I heard this, I became angrier. I sighed and said, “I planned to select some truly capable candidates through the audition. What is the point of auditioning if all the candidates want to win the game by giving us money? What’s the point of this show?”“Miss Walter. The sponsors have given us so much money and have
Anya’s POV:The X City media almost demonized me. As a result, I was traumatized by all the media and was scared of facing reporters.Rose continued, “Miss Walter, Rooney interview is different. This show invites famous entrepreneurs or celebrities with good reputation in the entertainment industry. Miss Walter, this interview full of positive and energy. It may help you win renown. So, its better to accept the invitation.”Brother Trumpet strongly agreed with Rose. He said, “Rose is right. Anya, you should accept the invitation! It is relatively high-end interview show in the country. The host is also very influential.”Rose continued, “Miss Walter, it might eliminate the misunderstandings people have about you if you participate in this show! I think you should go!”I felt that those words made sense.Thus, I said, “Alright then. I will think about it first. I will do interview if it is suitable for me.”Rose said, “Then I will tell the show’s director about it.”I asked, “Is there
Anya’s POV:The hotel waiter showed his work ID to the peephole.“Oh, okay!!” Then I opened the door.Unexpectedly, when I opened the door a person hiding somewhere suddenly came out and rushed into my room without a word.I was shocked and cried, “Ah!”I took a closer look and found the person who barged in was Evan.At this moment, he was emitting a strong smell of alcohol. His eyes were red as blood, and his feet seemed weak when he staggered into the room.I gasped and patted my chest, trying to let my heart slow down. Then, I asked, “Evan, what are you doing here?”He muttered, “Anya, I miss you. I miss you….”I shouted, “Are you crazy? Get out!”“Urgh!” Evan was so drunk that he opened his mouth and was about to vomit. He looked like he felt terrible.Seeing this, I could not be bothered to ask Evan to leave. I hurriedly grabbed his arm and dragged him to the washroom.“Don’t throw up anywhere. Get in the washroom if you want to throw up.”Unfortunately, I could not make Evan mo
Anya’s POV:Soon, he answered the call.“Hello, Miss Walter!”“Hi, Coral!”His slightly anxious voice comes from the other end of the line. “Miss Walter, what’s the matter?”I breathed a sigh of relief. “Where are you now?” As I spoke, I looked at the bathroom.Evan was drunk now, and I was afraid he would knock something and get himself again.He said anxiously,”I am looking everywhere for Mr. Carter. Mr. Carter is missing. He was discussing business with someone just then, but then other party insisted on drinking liquor. Mr. Carter accompanied him to drink. But who knew Mr. Carter would get drunk? Mr. Carter disappeared when he went to the toilet. We are looking for Mr Carter everywhere right now.”“There is no need to look for him. He was with me. Now come and pick him quickly.” I said angrily, choking.“Ah? He’s with you.”“Yes! I will send you my location now. Come and pick me up quickly.”“Oh, I see! Please send me your location, Miss Walter. I will rush over immediately!”I hu
Anya’s POV:Ding dong! Ding dong!The doorbell rang outside!Coral had probably arrived with his men.I pulled my leg and said, “Someone rang the doorbell. I will go out and open the door.”Evan cried even harder, “No no. Honey, are you letting someone else catch me? I don’t want to leave. I don’t want to be with you!”I had no choice but to coax him with the patience, “Be good, or I will ignore you!”Evan obediently let me go when he heard me.“Don’t ignore me. I am scared you will ignore me. How can you be more heartless than me?” Said Evan, still crying.I got rid of him with a frown. I quickly went to open the door.Outside the door, indeed Coral standing followed by Kody and the others.“Miss Walter, where is Mr. Carter?” He asked anxiously.“He is drunk and in the bathroom now. Get him out of here quickly.” I said.“Okay.”Coral’s POV:I hurriedly led my men into the washroom.In the washroom, there was a strong smell of alcohol everywhere and the ground was a mess and filthy. M
Anya’s POV:The next day at six in the morning, Evan was still asleep.I quietly left the hospital.Today I had to go to V city with Kester. I had to go back and pack.After leaving the hospital, I rushed back home. I took a shower and put on some light makeup. Then, I changed into a set of clean and appropriate clothes.Just as I was done, my phone rang.Beep! Beep! Beep!“Hello, Kester.”His warm voice rang out from the other end of the line. “Anya, are you up?”“Ohh, I am up!”“Then shall I go over and pick you up now?”“Mm-hmm! Sure!” I ended the phone call and hurriedly blow-dried my hair.As I had not slept the night before, the areas around my eyes were slightly darkened. I could only carefully apply some beauty balm cream.Half an hour later, the doorbell rang. Kester had arrived.“Miranda, go get the door.”“Alright,” Marinda replied and quickly went to open the door.Outside the door, Kester was wearing a black suit. He looked very dignified and formal.Marinda greeted him p
Anya’s POV:I frowned intensely when I heard this.Evan’s personality was indeed too stubborn.It might be better for me to take a look at him.“Alright, I will go over now.”“Oh, that’s great. Thank you so much, Miss Walter!”I ended the phone call and changed my clothes. I took my car keys and prepared to go out.“Anya, where are you going at this hour?”“I am going to the hospital to check on Evan Carter.”“Oh, you should. Go ahead, then! Be careful on the road!”Half and later, I arrived at the hospital.Coral and the rest were still standing guard at the door of the ward. When they saw me, they looked as if they had met their savior. “Miss Walter, you are finally here!”“How is he?”“Mr. Carter’s condition is not good. He vomited blood again at night.”I frowned when I heard that.“Also, the doctor said…” Coral pulled a long face and was on the verge of tears.“What did the doctor say?”“The doctor said that Mr. Carter may develop stomach cancer.”“Stomach cancer?”“That’s right.
I tossed and turned but was unable to fall asleep. I forced myself to stop thinking about Evan.I kept tossing until past 11:00 PM, but I was still not sleepy at all. My body was extremely exhausted, yet I couldn’t sleep well when I had something on my mind.In particular, when thought about I having to go to V city to meet Kester’s family the next day, it made me feel even more uneasy.Rumble…When I heard my stomach rumble, I realized that I had not eaten for the entire day.Therefore, I went into the kitchen and prepared to make something to eat.Marinda heard the commotion and quickly came out of her room. “Anya, are you hungry?”“Mm-hmm.”She quickly took over what I was doing. “Take a rest. I will make you some cheese pasta now.”“Alright.”Soon, a plate of mouth-watering pasta was served up.“Anya, eat it while it’s hot. This is your favorite cheese pasta.”I smiled, “Thank you, Miranda.”Following that I picked up my spoon and started scoping the cheesy goodness in my mouth.H
Frank’s POV:“Oof, Oof, Argh, Argh…” I was so anxious that I could not speak clearly. My eyes were about to pop out of their sockets.I still held a huge grudge against Anya.This unfilial daughter was going to marry Kester Helsen in the end, but she was still entangled with Evan Carter. She had ruined her younger sister’s whole life and happiness.I simply couldn’t give my blessing to my daughter.“Kester, let’s go.”Kester leaned over and shook my hand again. He said politely, “Mr. Walter, don’t worry. I will treat Anya well.”When I heard this, I looked at Kester furiously. Then, I turned my head to the side as if I was angry.This unfilial daughter was so capable.I was not worried that Anya would not have a good life at all. I only cared about Tina, who was locked in the mental hospital, And David, whose whereabouts are unknown.“Fantine, please take care of Dad. Call me if you need anything.”“Yes, Miss Walter.”“Then, we will go off first.”“Goodbye.”Without saying anything el
Anya’s POV:When I saw how serious he was, I couldn’t bear to reject his suggestion.“Beep! Beep! Beep!”My phone rang again.When I heard the phone ring, my heart skipped a beat.“Your phone is ringing!”“Okay, okay. I know.” I said and looked at the cell phone.The call was from Coral.Needless to say, it must have something to do with Evan again.I hesitated for a while but didn’t answer the call.When Kester saw this, he was curious, “Why aren’t you answering your phone?”“Its fine! It’s a scam call.”“Oh,” Kester’s eyes flickered, but he didn’t ask any more questions.“Anya, do you have anything else to do this afternoon?”I paused momentarily, “What’s wrong?”“We are getting married next week. I think its better to meet your father and tell him the good news.”When I heard this, I kept quiet, but a hint of melancholy appeared in my eyes.To be honest, my relationship with my father was so strained that I didn’t expect him to give his blessings, let alone attend my wedding.“Anya
Anya’s POV:I could no longer bear to continue watching. My heart ached as I felt terrible.Although she hated Evan, for some reason, I couldn’t bear to see him in pain.“You guys take care of him. Call me if anything happens.”When Coral heard this, his expression became grim. “Miss Walter, it is better if you stay. If anything happens to Mr. Carter, we won’t be able to bear the responsibility.”I shook my head dejectedly, “No, the doctor said that he has survived the critical period. You guys are responsible for taking care of him. He will recover soon.”“Miss Walter…” Coral wanted to persuade me to stay.“I have other matters to attend to. I have to go.”With that, I fled the hospital in a hurry.I was afraid that if I stayed any longer, my determination would start waiver.At 9:30, I returned to the office in a groggy stupor.I have been feeling exhausted since yesterday afternoon. Coupled with the fact that I had not slept the entire night, I was even more exhausted now.Today wa
Anya’s POV:Evan didn’t say anything. He simply looked at me icily with both eyes.I also returned him a frosty glare.Our eyes locked and we remained silent for a few minutes.Five minutes later, I finally broke the silence. “Do you have anything to say? If you have nothing to say, I will go back now!”He called out icily, “Anya!”“Go ahead. I am listening.” I stopped in my tracks again.He lifted the blanket and got out of bed slowly.Upon seeing this, I instantly took a two-step back. “If you want to say something, just stand there and say it.”He was still approaching me step by step.I panicked and subconsciously wanted to walk towards the exit.Unfortunately, Evan had already grabbed my wrist and abruptly pulled me into his arms.“Argh… Don’t come near me!”“Anya, do you have to torment me like this?” Evan’s eyes turned bloodshot as he pushed me viciously onto the hospital bed. Then, he leaned over and pressed me down.He pinned me down firmly under his demonic claws.“I have ca
Anya’s POV:If we wanted to complete a set of wedding photos, we would have to select many outdoor venues for our photo shoot. There was not enough time when we were so pressed for time.Therefore, we could only shoot an interior scene first. This shot would be used as a poster at the wedding ceremony. I was wearing the white wedding gown while Kester changed into a white suit. We took a few simple photos. Even so, it was already past 8:00 p.m. by the time we finished taking the photos.I was downright exhausted. I stood in my high heels for the entire afternoon.Outside the changing room, after changing into my own clothes, I was so tired that I collapsed on the sofa.I didn’t want to get up again.Kester looked at my exhausted appearance and said, “Are you very tired?”“A little.”“Come, take off your shoes!”I looked at him with a puzzled expression, “Why?”He walked forward and took off my shoes. Then he gently massaged my feet. “You wore high heels today and stood for the entire
Anya’s POV:Downstairs, Kester was already waiting for me in the parking lot.He opened the passenger door like a gentleman.I got into the car gracefully, “Thank you.”Kester got into the car after that. “Anya, are you tired today?”“It’s all right.”“What do you want to eat?”I smile gently, “Anything is fine.”“Then, shall we go to the French restaurant we went to the last time? I heard that they have a nude items on the menu.”“Sure.”Kester smiled faintly, started the car, and bought me to that restaurant.After the meal, it was already 2:30 PM. Then. We went to the wedding studio.“Welcome Mr. Helsen, welcome Miss Walter! This way please! Let me give you a brief introduction.”I looked at the splendid array of wedding gowns and was a little dazzled. Every piece was very beautiful, and they looked just like artwork in the exhibition.“This studio only stocks handmade wedding gowns made in Italy.”“Anya there is not enough time for our wedding day. If we customize a wedding gown,
