Anya’s POV:I hesitated. I felt conflicted about the idea.I could certainly make time to pick up the kids at the airport. However, if it involved flying to Surbano, it would take at least two to three days.I couldn’t possibly free myself with the company being so busy.Seeing me hesitating, Evan raised his eyebrows. “What? You don’t want to go. I thought you wanted to see the children.”My eyes flickered as I replied with a heavy heart. “I want to, but I am afraid I won’t have time to fly to Surbano to pick up the kids. Maybe it’s better for me to go to the airport after the kids return.”Before I could finish speaking, Evan frowned, “Anya is work more important, or the children more important?”“Both are important, of course.”Evan snorted coldly with a tinge of anger in his voice. “If you are not going, I will go alone.”Seeing that Evan was angry, I quickly changed my statement. “Um, I need to arrange my work and see if I can make time. If I can go, I will go with you. But if you
Anya’s POV:I slap for over an hour before abruptly jolting awake. I rubbed my eyes and looked around in a daze.“Oh my, how did I fall asleep?” I rubbed my eyes and looked at the time. It was already past 10:00 PM.When I looked over the driver’s seat, Evan was nowhere to be seen.I pushed open the car door and got out…Though it was nighttime, there were streetlights on both sides of the road.I scanned my surroundings.I saw Evan standing on a reef by the sea. He was looking at the nights in the distance and smoking silently.His tall figures stood against the wind appearing lost in thought.“Evan…” I called out as I walked towards him.Without turning around, he asked calmly, “Are you awake?”I was a little embarrassed and replied, vaguely, “I was just too tired and accidentally fall sleep.”“What is this place?”“Silver Ocean Avenue,” he replied calmly.I joined him in on the reef, looking at the surroundings. It was a peculiar location.It was situated between the seaside and a
Anya’s POV:My entire neck was covered in bruises, and there were hickeys everywhere.I knew it. I know that meeting Evan alone was very dangerous.Regardless of whether I was willing or not, he had a way to force me to be willing!Moreover, he was really difficult to deal with. After being pestered by him, I could not escape at all.“You are awake!” He smiled, lovingly and contentedly, reaching out to hug me.I heaved a sigh of relief and helplessly combed by messy hair from my forehead.At this moment, I didn’t dare to answer Kester’s call.Especially since that bastard Evan was still by my side. Once the call was picked up, he would say nonsense to Kester.Looking at my nervous expression, he seemed also to realize that it might be Kester’s calling.Immediately, he frowned, “Who is calling?”I replied in frustration, “Evan sent me back quickly.”His voice turned gloomy, saying, “I am asking you, who is calling you?”“Its none of your business.”“Is it Kester calling?” His face dark
Anya’s POV:In the office, I put my hand in my hair, feeling extremely heavy and dejected.I didn’t dare to recall the scene last night!Although I refused to admit that I still loved Evan, my instinctive reaction had sold me out. How would I have fallen for him unknowingly, last night if I didn’t love him?And I would not hug him tightly when I lost control and didn’t have such strong feelings for him.“Beep, beep, beep.”My phone vibrated again.I shuddered and hurriedly looked at the phone. Ihave been really busy these past few days. Countess calls come in every day.“Hello, Rose.”“Rose’s voice comes from the other end of the phone, “Miss Walter, the advancement competition is the day after tomorrow. If you are available, you should come.”I only come back to my senses after hearing that.Recently, I have been busy with X City and have forgotten about Green Town.“Is the advancement competition the day after tomorrow?”“Yes, its already the fifth episode. The contestants will ent
Frank’s POV:I didn’t expect that obedient boy I had always been proud to be so bold as to hurt someone with a gun and install a bomb in his sister’s car.Now that he had become a wanted criminal. I hope that he will escape overseas and never return. Otherwise, he would probably be imprisoned for life once he was caught.“Anya, Daddy… might not be make it. Tina…” I struggled to utter a few words, and my face turned purple.Anya seemed to understand that I was worried about Tina. She said, “Dad, don’t worry. I will take care of Tina. I will not let her stay in the mental hospital for the rest of her life.”“Okay…” When I heard this, my body relaxed. I was finally relieved!I know very well that Harry was a wastrel and would not care about Tina. Although Anya was not on good terms with Tina, she was still much better than Harry.“Dad rest well. I will visit you another rush.”I reached out trembling and wanting to hold onto Anya’s hand. Unfortunately, after trying for a long time, I cou
Anya’s POV:After watching this silently for a while, I couldn’t help inhaling deeply, and a chill ran down my spine.People who were admitted to mental hospitals would still be treated as mental health patients, even if they weren’t actually mentally ill.Back then, in order to get Tina off the hook, Dad had deliberately claimed she had a mental health issue and sent her to a mental hospital.From the looks of it, Tina did seem to have some mental disorder.My skin felt numb as I walked out of the mental hospital, somewhat in a daze.“Miss Walter, let’s go!”“Hmmm!” I replied in a leaden voice.Thereafter, I quietly got into the car. Along the way, my mood was extremely downcast and depressed.Tina had been in the mental hospital for almost a year.To be honest, my hatred for Tina wasn’t as deep anymore.If Tina was willing to repent sincerely and no longer wanted to harm others, I wouldn’t stand in her way. More than that, I wouldn’t lower myself to her level.“Miss Walter, where do
Evan’s POV:After I came to my senses, I ran after Anya.In the parking lot downstairs, I hurriedly chased after her.“Anya… Anya…”Anya was already in the car. She stepped on the accelerator and drove away immediately.I stomped my foot in frustration as I watched Anya’s car vanish into the distance.Whatever I set out to do, I always had confidence in my success.But when it came to Anya, I kept encountering defeat again and again.Anya’s POV:In the car, a ringing tone could be heard.“Beep, beep, beep!”I was distraught as I called Kester.The call was answered quickly. “Hello, Anya!”“Kester…” I wanted to speak, but hesitated.He replied sleepily, “What’s wrong? Why are you calling me so late?”Because of the time zone difference, it was late at night over there.I paused for a while, then said softly, “Kester, I miss you so much.”“Hehe! Silly girl, I miss you too!”“Kester…” My eyes turned red-rimmed. I wanted to say something, but I found I couldn’t get any words out.I wanted
Anya’s POV:As soon as I arrived at the M City factory, Michael and Nicholas began reporting the progress of the work to me.“Miss Walter, a few potential sites in Pearl City have already been earmarked for the future factory. The city is very close to V City, and the industrial sector is more developed. The rent is cheaper than in M City. This is basic information about the factory sites. However, I suggest that you take the time to visit them yourself,” Michael said, handing me a stack of documents.“Hmmm, I can go and check them out,” I replied.“Our business in the first half of the year has increased by 47% compared to last year. We can’t fulfill the orders, so the company is recruiting regular workers on a large scale.”When I heard this, I felt rather gratified. “I understand. It’s been hard on everyone.”“It’s not hard at all. It’s what we should do!” Michael responded enthusiastically.It was already past eight o’clock in the evening when I finished my work at the M City offi
Zachary’s POV:Once my parents were out of sight, I could no longer keep up the facade.Agonizing, I clutched my head and desperately exclaimed, “Sigh, what am I supposed to do? If Jenny awakens and reveals the truth to our parents, how will I handle it?”Witnessing my distress, Tina let out a cold snort, her skepticism evident. She rebuked, “She has not even regained consciousness yet! How can you be so certain she will wake up?”Those words indicate fire within me, causing my anger to erupt instantly. “Tina, that’s enough! What are you insinuating? Are you secretly hoping my sister won’t wake up?” I exclaimed in furry.“I never said that.” She retorted defensively.“She is my sister. How dare you to curse her like that?” I questioned in a fury.She responded sarcastically, and her tone dripped with malice, “Aren’t you the one who worried about
Evan’s POV:In the blink of an eye, it was already noon. The passage of time reminds us of the pressing task at hand.I checked the time on my watch, my gaze shifting from the ticking hands to Anya. “It's already noon. Let’s go for lunch.” I said as I suggested.“Okay,” she replied in acknowledgment, her weariness evident in her voice and the slight rubbing of her tired eyes, her dedication to the work task is unwavering.The two of us left the office. Our footsteps echoed through the corridor.Coral approached us with a serious expression, interrupting our thoughts and reporting. “Mr. Carter, I heard that Miss Garcia fell down the stairs. She is currently in the hospital.”“Really? When did it happen?” I replied in surprise.“It happened a couple of days ago. I heard her injuries are severe, and she still has not regained consciousness.” Coral informed, his voice
Anya’s POV:In the office, I took a deep breath and exhaled. “Evan, did I overreact just now?” I asked, my voice filled with uncertainty and self-doubt.“No, your performance was excellent,” he said, giving me a thumbs up, his eyes shining with admiration.“Really? Don’t lie to me,” I pleaded.“Why are you losing confidence now?” He said, hooking his arm around my waist, drawing me closer. He looked at me affectionately and indulgently as he gently lifted my chin, his touch reassuring and comforting.“Last night, you deliberately pretended to be asleep and didn’t do the assignment. Now you must make up for it.” He said his voice teasing, his hands playfully wandering. A mischievous glint sparkled in his eyes.I frowned and turned to the side. My frustration is evident. “Oh, come on. Can you not be childish? Seriously? Can you act more maturely?” I asked my tone a mixture of expression and logging for seriousness.“How I am immature?” He replied nonchalantly, his eyes filled with tende
Anya’s POV:The previously grumbling individuals suddenly became dejected resembling mute statues.Evan had made it clear that anyone who opposed him would be kicked out of the Carter Group.Who would dare to speak up now?“Alright, I have finished speaking.” Evan said, his eyes looking at Mr Collen, “If anyone has any objection or opinions, please speak up now.”“You,” He pointed at Mr Collen as he said, “You want to express your opinion earlier. Now is this time.”“Mr. Collen’s throat tightened and he stammered, “Uh, well… I have no objection. I fully support Mr. Carter’s decision.”Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes widened in shock.Author’s POV:He was the one who had been most vehemently opposing the decision just now, rallying everyone to join the opposition.But now, as soon as the threat of expulsion from the cartoon group was aroused, he was the first to back down.Sing that everyone remains silent, Liam couldn’t sit still any longer. He said carefully, “Evan, it's not that
Anya’s POV:I began to feel inexplicably nervous at the conference room entrance, my heart pounding rapidly, “Evan,” I whispered, my voice filled with unease. I am still a bit nervous. Will they give me a hard time later?”He chuckled and adjusted the collar of my shirt as he quietly encouraged me, “Don’t worry.” He said teasingly, “If anyone gives you a hard time, just summon the courage you had when you confronted me before.”He leaned closer and added, “You dared to challenge me, so why would you be afraid of them? Come on, show me a fierce look!”I glared at him. “It’s already such a critical moment, and you still have the mood to joke?” I retorted, my frustration evident.“Relax,” Evan said, his tone half-relaxed and half-serious, “No matter how formidable they are, can they be more formidable than me? Why would you be afraid of them if you dared to challenge even me?”He smiled mischievously and continued, “If anyone gives you a hard time, just hit back fiercely. If you can’t wi
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
