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
Anya’s POV:The Helsen family was a big, influential family and a preeminent family in V city.Although, I was also the well-born daughter of wealthy family, I was married before. In the eyes of Helsen family’s elders, this was completely unacceptable.In particular, my reputation was not very good. I was considered fairly infamous in V city and X City.Kester’s third aunt, Yasmine Helsen also seized me up arrogantly, “Welcome, Miss Walter!”“Our Helsen family has more family members and also more rules. If you want to marry into our Helsen family, you have to abide by our Helsen family’s rules.”I subconsciously frowned a little.They were flexing their muscles to intimidate me.“Anya, this is my stepmother, Madam Genevieve!” Kester carried on with the introductions.After one round, just the elders alone already made up more than ten members.“Please take a seat.”“Oh, thank you.” I sat down at the table somewhat nervously.More than ten pairs of eyes looked at me in union like scan
Jenny’s POV:The family began to take turns calling Zachary.Unfortunately, we still couldn’t get through to him.At this point, four to five hours had passed since the first call.Mom's eyebrows kept twitching and she had a bad feeling, “Will something happen to Zachary?”Dad frowned and said angrily, “What could happen to him? Who knows where he went to play again? This rascal is becoming more and more useless.”“Forget about him. Let’s eat first!”“Impossible. No matter how ridiculous Zachary is, today is a special day. He couldn’t possibly be not coming back today!”“We have been unable to get through him. Something must have happened! Let’s quickly send someone to look for him!”When Dad heard this, his frown deepened.Zachary liked to spend time drinking and merry-making and preferred to come and go alone. Therefore, he did not like to bring bodyguards.I also started to get anxious, “Something might have happened to Zachary. Just now he said that he would be home in half an hou
Zachary’s POV:I quickly walked to the car and hurriedly opened the door.It was not until I got into the car that my pounding heart felt a little better.“Hurry up and go home…”Buzz!After I started the car, I got out of the parking lot as if I was fleeing.This hotel was about 25 miles away from the Garcia residence.Without traffic, I could reach home in less than an hour.The Garcia family was also wealthy. Wealthy families paid more attention to privacy and safety. Their residences were usually very remote. Many of them were mansions halfway up the mountain, far away from the city.I was driving home.It was halfway through the journey. After a few more turns of tree-paved roads, I was able to see the top of the mountain where the Garcia residence was located.“Beep! Beep! Beep!”When I made a turn, my phone suddenly rang.“How annoying…” I thought that my sister was urging me to go home again, so I picked up the phone and answered it.“I already said I will be home soon. Stop c
Jenny’s POV:Today was Christmas Eve.Almost everyone returns home to spend the New Year with their families.The Garcia family was naturally no exception.As soon as I walked into the house, Mom stood up with the blame on her face. “Jenny, you are finally back. I called you so many times, but you didn’t answer. What are you busy with?”“I am back now. Merry Christmas Daddy and Mommy!” I hugged my mom happily.Dad stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window. He pushed up his round-frame glasses and said unhappily, “What time is it? Why isn’t your brother home yet?”“That’s right! What’s going on with Zachary recently? He doesn’t come back more and more.”“He is also listless and distracted every time he comes back. This brat is getting more and more outrageous.”When I heard this, I secretly curled my lips in disdain.I know that my brother and Tina were dating.Now that his little girlfriend was gone, he must be sad.“Hurry up and call your brother. Tell him to come back quickly.”
Anya’s POV:“You are the one who came to me, not the other way around. If you don’t believe me, you might as well return.”“Miss Garcia, I am asking you for your help sincerely. If you continue with this attitude, we really can’t continue this conversation.” I stood up and pretended to leave.Seeing this, Jenny panicked and suddenly stood up, “Anya, what do you want?”I shrugged slightly, “I said that as long as you can get Evan out, I will certainly leave X city. I will keep my word. I can write you a guarantee.”“Hah, what’s the use of that?”I sneered, “Of course. It had a legal effect. As long as I leave X city, with your outstanding looks and family background, Evan will certainly fall in love with you over time.”Jenny’s POV:When I heard this, my eyes darkened. I also agreed with Anya’s words.As long as Anya left X city forever, then my chances with Evan were considerable.“Alright, I will believe you this once. Then write to me a guarantee. If you go back on your word at that
Jenny’s POV:I was stunned.I had looked for Anya and Evan before, but they all rejected me.Now that Anya had taken the initiative to look for me again, I was surprised.“Why? Have you thought it through? Are you willing to sacrifice yourself for him?”Anya took a deep breath. “Yes, if you have a way to get Evan out, I am willing to accept your suggestion to leave X city and never come back.”I rolled my eyes when I heard that.“Are you serious? You are not going to tease me again, are you?”“Why would I? I am very sincere!”“Alright then come to City Cafe!”“Will do.”Then I hung up the phone.Anya’s POV:After hanging up, I said, “Sam Drive to the City cafe!”“Alright!”City Cafe is X city’s most upscale coffee shop.At the same time, Jenny owned the place. It should be very safe to meet here.Thirty minutes later, Sam drove the car and arrived at City Coffee.“Where are you? I am already at the door.”“Then come in.”“Sam take the kids home first, then pick me up.”“Okay.”I got o
Anya’s POV:When I heard this, I felt a punch in my heart again.“Daddy will be out soon. Be good when Daddy isn’t around. Don’t be naughty, and don’t make Mommy angry.”“Yes, we will.”“Give the phone to Mommy. Let Daddy and Mommy a few words.”Anya took the phone. Her eyes were still a little red. “Don’t worry. The children have been good!”At this moment, I want to smash the glass window and hug the four of them.“Anya, I am worried about your safety. If anything happens to you, I can’t accept.”Anya pondered for a few seconds, “After the New Year. I will send the children overseas.”“What about you?”“Of course, I had to stay here!”When I heard this, my eyes turned even redder.I suddenly regretted it.I felt that I should never have given Anya the position o
Evan’s POV:(There was a shooting on Eastern Avenue, seriously injuring three people.)(The target of the gunshot is suspected to be the Carter Group’s new president.)I was special. Therefore, I lived in a separate cell that was even occupied with that television.After watching the news early in the morning, I was so shocked that my scalp went numb. I felt as if the blood in my body flowed backward.Bang! Bang! Bang!I patted the prison door.A guard walked over, “What’s the matter, Mr. Carter?”“I need to make a phone call.”“No, you are still in custody…”My eyes widened and I shouted, “I have to make a phone call now. Or you have to bear the consequences.”Seeing that I was agitated, the guard didn’t dare to act on his own. He quickly went to ask his superior.My request was approved by the higher-ups.I finall
Anya’s POV:My eyes were filled with vigilance. I completely ignored Liam’s expression.I would not react so dramatically if Liam just come to visit on any other day. But today, I had just been shot by the criminals, and Liam had come to the door.It was not hard to connect the two things.In particular, if something happened to me and my child, Liam would undoubtedly be the biggest beneficiary.“Mr. Miller, it’s getting late. I think it’s time for you to leave. I won’t keep you for dinner.” My heart was in turmoil as I directly ordered Liam to leave.When Liam heard this, he was even angrier.“Hmph!” He snorted and walked away.After he left the house, Jason and Jerry looked at me in confusion. “Mommy, why are you so angry towards Grand Uncle?”Usually, I was very gentle, and exceedingly polite when I faced the elders.But today, I am almost like a bulldog. I was not gentle at all.“Jason, Jerry, in the future when Mommy is not by your side, you can’t accept anything from anyone.” As
Tatiana’s POV:Although I had not been shot, I had been stabbed in the abdomen during the fight with the criminal.I was now in the ambulance, rushing to the hospital for treatment.“What about Coral and Kody? How are they doing?”I took a deep breath. “The police have arrived. The criminals have already escaped. Kody and Coral have been sent to the hospital.”Anya’s voice paused, “What about you? How are you?”“I am in an ambulance heading to the hospital!”When she heard this, she became even more worried, “I understand. I will rush to the hospital now!”I took another deep breath. “Miss Walter, don’t show your face for the time being. I am afraid the criminals will make a comeback. Gael has already rushed to the hospital with his men. If you want to stay safe, don’t show yourself so easily.”“Alright! I understand!” She had on the phone.Anya’s POV:I was still uneasy and wanted to go to the hospital to check on the three of them immediately.Who was the vicious person who wanted m
