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: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: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: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
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
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
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.
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
Evan’s POV:“It was almost Christmas.”“Yeah, it's already the 20Th today. It will be Christmas in five days,” I said, as I subconsciously took two cigarettes from my pocket.Just as I was about to light up, I remembered that Anya had told me smoking, so I held it in.“You can smoke if you want.”“Forget it. It's not good for you to inhale second-hand smoke.”As I spoke, I continued to look at Anya’s abdomen. “Why is no news yet?”“What?”I teased, “What do you think?”She then glared at me in frustration. “We already have three children. We won’t have any more.”“Who says that? I want three more.”“Three more? Do you think I’m a psychological machine?”“Even having just one would be fine. When Jason, Jerry and Flora were born, I was not by their side. I didn’t even have to see them as babies. So there is still some regret.”“Let’s not talk about this anymore. It’s all in the past.”“Do you still hate me?”“I don’t hate you anymore.”I chuckled, “Nonsense! You wanted me dead before, a
Tina’s POV:As Zachary spoke, I abruptly rose to his feet, casting an uneasy gaze at Evan. He seemed to suspect that Evan had arrived to hold him accountable for something.“I heard that something happened to Jenny, so I came over.” After Evan finished speaking, he gestured for his assistant to hand over the flowers and nutritional supplements.Seeing this, Zachary felt a little more at ease. “Oh, so that’s how is it.”I smiled at Anya. “Anya, you are here to see Miss Garcia too?”Anya looked at me in surprise. “Tina, why are you here too?”“I am now Mr. Garcia’s secretary. Of course, I have to serve Mr. Grace 24 hours a day.”“Are you tired?”I smiled sweetly, “No! Mr. Garcia treats me very well.”“That’s good!” Anya patted my shoulder gently.I looked at Evan sweetly and said, “Hello, Mr. Carter!”Evan didn’t seem to hear me. He only looked at Zachary’s forehead, “What happened to your head?”“Oh, it’s nothing. I accidentally bumped into it!”Evan looked at him with a half smile, hi
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
