Ellen’s POV:I blinked my eyes. I didn’t dare to look at Evan now.‘What kind of scheming plot was this?’“Mr. Carter, I still don’t quite understand!”“You don’t have to understand. Just take the money and do as I say! If you succeed, there will be a reward.”“Mr. Carter, aren’t you interested in me? After all. You spend so much money.”“Haha! Go!” He slipped the check into my cleavage!“Oh, I understand! Mr. Carter, you are doing this to break up Mr. Helsen and Miss Walter, right?”Evan raised his eyebrows slightly with a wicked smile. “Take the money and work hard. Don’t ask what you shouldn’t ask!”I took the check from my chest and pursed my lips daintily. “Mr. Carter, you are really generous. I will certainly complete the mission.”“However, this doesn’t stop us from being good friends. Why don’t I stay behind to accompany you tonight?”As I spoke, I leaned limply against him again.Evan gripped my chin and pushed me away brusquely. “I am not interested in you. You should spend
Kester’s POV:Ten minutes later, I was taking a shower when the bathroom door was suddenly pushed open.“Who is it?”“Mr. Helsen, it’s me!”I frowned, “Get out at once…”“Mr. Helsen, I have been with you for so long. Don’t you understand me? I am really very good. You don’t have to worry that I will cause trouble for you. I don’t affect your relationship with Miss Walter. I really just want to make you happy, Mr. Helsen!”As she spoke, she had already taken off her clothes, revealing her exquisite figure.Ever since the traffic accident, I had been living a life of abstinence like an ancient monk for nearly half a year.It was particularly hard for me not to touch a woman for long since I was a playboy in the past.To be honest, it would be strange if I didn’t have any stray thoughts.Ellen’s POV:“Mr. Helsen!” I had always known how to please my boss.If it were in the past, I would still feel it was taboo and would not dare to be rash.But now, with Evan supporting me behind the sce
Kester’s POV:If she heard and realized something, there would be no way to save the situation.“Mm-hmm, have a good rest.”“You too. Don’t tire yourself out.”“I am ending the call.”“After you. “Anya smiled and ended the phone call.After ending the call, I was very angry.I yanked Ellen out from under the blanket. “You little victim. You are really asking for beating!”“Mr. Helsen, you are so mean!”Anya’s POV:I had already been in the square for three days.The competition was getting more and more tense.Rose handed over a stack of documents. “Miss Walter, this is the list of people who gave advance to the next stage. There also list of the eliminated contestants. They are all relatively capable and have lot of fans.”“Mm-hmm. Well organized a repechage round in the next episode and give these eliminated contestant a chance to give another shot.”“Alright!”“Next week, we can have a repechage round. Now, we can let those eliminated contestants go and make preparation.”“Mm-hmm,
Anya's POV:I was smiling, but tears kept falling. I simply couldn’t get enough to look at my two adorable sons.The two little fellows had grown taller and stronger.It seemed that the little fellows had a good appetite while they were away.“Mommy!” Flora also extended her arms to me.“Flora. come and let Mommy hug you.” I took my daughter from Evan’s arms and kissed her face.“Mommy, I miss you so much.”Flora was wearing a cute princess dress and had two little hair buns on her head. The hair buns resembled two snowballs and looked childish and cute!If it weren’t for the fact that she could not walk, she would look like a beautiful and adorable princess doll.When Evan saw the children and I was happy, his mood also improved. “Let’s go.”“Come, Daddy will carry you,” Evan said as he took Flora back into his arms.I let Jason and Jerry on either side of my body and walked to the parking lot.In the car, the children chattered excitedly.I listened to the children’s stories and smi
Anya’s POV:An hour later, the Roll-Royce luminous drove into the villa courtyard of Sherane Bay Villa and stopped in front of the luxurious green lawn.The servant at the door respectfully opened the car door. “Good day, Mr. Carter. Good day, Miss Walter.”“Yeah, we are finally home! Home is still the most comfortable.” Jerry eagerly got out of the car and played happily on the lawn.The children had been living here for half a year and were already used to living in a luxurious mansion.Sherane Bay Villa is a top-notch luxurious mention that resembles a castle externally.There was a garden, a swimming pool, and a children’s playground. At the back of the garden, a small, private horse riding arena has been built as well.The children had just learned how to ride horses and were especially interested in equestrian skills. When they were in Surbano, they were almost bored to death.“Let’s get out of the car.” Evan looked at me and said casually.I hesitated and didn’t move. “I had be
Evan’s POV:I had changed into a casual white sweatshirt and walked into the kitchen.Although I was the owner of the place, this was the first time I came into the kitchen. If it was not because Anya was in the kitchen, I probably wouldn’t even step into this place for the rest of my life.“Making dumplings for the children?” I asked casually.Anya was busy with the work on her hand. Without looking up, she replied curtly, “Mm-hmm.”My eyes darted back and forth, “Can you make me a plate of spaghetti?”“Are you hungry?” she sounded a little impatient.”Anya’s POV:I didn’t think there was anything special about the spaghetti I made. Moreover, this scoundrel Evan was a fussy eater and was very picky about wood. He was even more picky about the food made by a five-star hotel chef.I don’t understand why he likes to eat my spaghetti.He gave a scornful snort, “Of course, I am hungry. Otherwise, do you think I am asking you to cook it for display and decoration?”I pursed my lips. “Alrig
Evan’s POV:Anya continued to wrap the dumplings and could not even bother to look at me again.Anya refused to bicker with me and I was starting to feel bored again. More than that, I didn’t want to leave the kitchen. “Is there anything else I can help you with?”“No need! Get out!”“Let me help you wrap the dumplings.”I watched Anya wrapping the dumplings. The action seemed pretty simple, and I was eager to try my hand at it.Then I picked the piece of dough, picked up a small filling, and started to wrap.However, it was a classic case of someone having great ambition, but little talent. When I saw others do it, it appeared so simple. Yet when I tried it myself, it made me a complete mess.I struggled for a long time, but I couldn’t even wrap a single one.“Tsk, tsk, tsk, why are your hands so clumsy then your feet?” Anya said, extremely disdainful.“As long as it’s eatable it’s good enough.”“Go away!”“If you want to help, fill a pot with water and put it to boil. Get ready to c
Anya’s POV:Evan took the pasta scoop and tried to scoop the fettuccine out of the pot.Unfortunately, the long fettuccine strands seemed to be going against him. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t hold them firmly, and he could not open his eyes because of the steam.“I can’t even get this fettuccine out.” Evan couldn’t help grumbling again.“How dumb!” I walked over and scooped all the fettuccine out of the pasta scoops in a few moves.“Evan Carter, I really doubt your ability to use your hand!”“For God’s sake, I am very good with my hands, okay?” He retorted indignantly.He had always considered himself an all-rounder and would not accept anybody’s contradiction.“Now heat up the oil and saute the onions before adding the pancetta. Stir-fry until fragrant before tossing in the pasta with some pasta water. Add some pasta water to
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
