Anya’s POV:I could overlook it when others did not believe me or reprimanded me.However, seeing that my father didn’t believe me, still made my heart ache.Since young, I always worked hard and tried my best to excel in everything, so that I could get my father's approval.However, no matter how hard I tried, my father had always been cold and indifferent to me. He never praised me, nor did he even give me fatherly love.Now, I had finally accepted the fact.I no longer wanted to please him any more expect anyone to nourish me with love.“Dad, I’m not hooking up with Evan Carter. I had no idea they had split up.”I was pissed off.Evan had made my life difficult for the past two days.I also broke my arm because of him.However, instead of criticizing him, everyone was blaming me.Mia scoffed and lashed out. “Humph! You didn’t know. Why would you be here if you don’t know? If you don’t seduce Mr. Carter, why would he go to see you in the middle of the night? If it were not for you,
Evan’s POV:“Tina! You must wake up! What I’m supposed to do if you don’t wake up.” Mia said, crying out loudly.Frank raised his eyebrows and patted me on the shoulder. “Evan, you have been with Tina for six years now. You have a complicated relationship with both of my daughters. So, you should think about how to resolve it. You have hurt Tina before, and she can’t take being hurt again.”I frowned.Mia whimpered. “Evan, you must be responsible for Tina. She is a nice and innocent girl. She is different from other women. She already has a relationship with you. You can’t hurt like that.”Hearing that I draw in a breath. I wanted to say that I didn’t do it with Tina, but I swallowed it back.It was pointless to talk about it anymore.After all, we had been dating for six years. Nobody else would believe me if I said I hadn’t had sexual intercourse with her.But the truth is, I had never touched her.When I was in need, I spent money on other women.When we were done, I paid them and
Anya’s POV:“Have you completed the discharge procedure?” I asked.Kester frowned and said in a concern. “I haven’t done it yet. You are hurt so badly. I still think you should stay in the hospital for a few more days.”Hearing that, I persisted in getting out of bed. “No! I can’t stay in the hospital. Ora will be scared if she doesn’t see me!”“All right, then. I will fill out the paperwork for your discharge.” Kester said helplessly.“Okay!”After half an hour later, Kester completed the discharge procedure.Till then, I also changed my clothes. Since I have a splint on my arm, it was a little inconvenient for me to do.After Kester returned with my medicines and sundries, we were ready to leave.As we opened the ward door, my father suddenly appeared at the entrance.I was surprised to see him, “Dad…”“Anya, what are you doing?”Perhaps because I didn’t get enough fatherly love as a child, his simple greeting warmed my heart.Thinking that he came to see me, I said, “Dad, I’m alrig
Anya’s POV:After returning home, I saw that the house had already been tied up. And I know that Kester must have sent someone to do so.“Anya, I think you should move! I still have a mention in Black Hollow Bay. “It’s vacant, so you can just move in!”“No thanks! I’ve troubled you enough already. I should not disturb you anymore!”“How would that be troubling me? The house is empty anyway. Its perfect for you!”“No! It’s too far for me and my workplace!”Kester sighed and stopped insisting. Eventually, he gave in and said, “Okay. Just let me know if you need anything.”“Thank you, Kester!”“There you go again! How many times do I have to tell you that you don’t have to thank me!”Hearing that, my feelings become even more complicated. ‘Kester treated me so well. I just wish I know how to repay him.’ I thought inwardly.As soon as opened the door, Emily ran towards me with red eyes. “Miss Walter, you are back!”“Where is Ora!”“Ora has a fever! I was just about to call you!”When I he
Mia’s POV:As I exited the ward, I broke out in a wide smile.“Oh, thank goodness. Mr. Carter is finally marrying Tina!”“As soon as they got married, I will make sure I rub it in Mrs. White, Mrs. Patel, and others faces!”Frank frowned and said, “Look at you! Tina almost died. How could you still be in the mood to show off?”“Well, the process was frightening, but we get a happy ending. I didn’t expect her to have some of my old tricks up her sleeve. She sure pulled a cruel trick!”Just then, Harry and David also rushed to the hospital.“Mom, Dad how is Tina?”The duo prepared to push the door and enter the ward as they spoke, however, I quickly stopped them.“Don’t go in there. Tina is inside having a talk with Mr. Carter. Don’t go in and disturb them!”“Oh!”“I have a great news for you. Tina is finally getting married!”Harry looked surprised. “Really?” he asked.“Of course!”He slapped his thigh in excitement and exclaimed, “That’s great!”“Mom, Dad, I want a sports car!”Hearing
Paul’s POV:As I ran to the nurse’s station, I asked anxiously, “Which word is in Miss Tina Walter?”I was worried sick when I heard what happened to Tina.So, disregarding the danger of being discovered, I rushed to the hospital just to visit her.“Oh, I’m a friend of Miss Walter. I come special to visit her because I heard she had an accident.”“Miss Walter is in ward number 7.”“Alright, thank you!”With that, I went to a mad dash for ward number 7.However, when I got to the ward, I saw Mia and her husband there, so I dared not to intrude.So, I just wait outside. About more than an hour later, Mia and Frank finally left the ward.Mia had gone to the restroom, while Frank had gone to get food for Tina and Mia.I took advantage of this moment and spread into the ward.“Tina!”I had missed Tina to the core.Some time ago, she told me that she was getting married and would like to end our relationship.That night, I was mad as hell to take Tina into my arms, objecting to her wishes.
Evan’s POV:After resting for ten days, the wound on her wrist more or less healed up.On the day she was getting discharged, I went to the hospital to pick her up. Mia and Frank were also there.“Oh, Evan, now that Tina has been discharged from the hospital, what is your plan for marriage?” Mia asked.With a barely manageable smile, I answered, “We planned to go pick the wedding gown in a few days, but only after Tina’s body had completely recovered. After that, we will pick an auspicious date to get engaged.”Hearing that Mia’s mouth twitched slightly.I could tell from Mia’s expression that she was not satisfied with my answer.“Okay, then. You two call the shots. As your elders, we will only offer our advice when needed. Let’s hop in.”After the driver opened the car door, Mia got in the car first followed by Frank and Tina.I was the last to slide into the car.As the car headed for the Walter residence, my heart became heavier and more entangled as I thought of my feelings towar
Tina’s POV:“Paul, I’m really getting married. Let’s not contact each other again. Here are there are $40,000 in this card. Treat it as my compensation for you. Don’t come bothering me again.”Paul took off a cup of a cigarette and blew it towards my face. “I don’t want money, Tina. I only want you.’As I was getting dressed, I said peevishly, “You already know it, Paul. I’m getting married into the Carter family, and you simply can’t give me the happiness I desire. If you really love me, don’t stand in my way and take my happiness away from me.”He leaped up and embraced me again. “I will never stand in your way, Tina. I won’t even stop you from marrying into the Carter family. I only hope that we can continue our relationship. Even if you are married, you can always call me up…”“No way! You only get me killed.” I spurned his wishes outright.“But, Tina…”Before anything could happen, I had already finished tidying up at myself and scurried up out of the Lily Bar.Unlike the Walter
Evan’s POV:Very soon, Gael and Coral rushed over with some bodyguards!“Evan has been shot!”“Mr. Carter, Mr. Carter, how are you?”“I am fine!” I sucked in a sharp breath and staggered to my feet.Fortunately, I was wearing a bulletproof vest.I was shot four times in the back!Even though it didn’t penetrate, the pain was still intense. My back displayed four swollen marks as evidence of the shot.“Call the police now!”“Thank God, Evan… Boohoo…” Martha cried, and couldn’t catch her breath.This was an accident to her.She has been keeping a low profile and traveled around the world alone. Although she had met bad people, this was the first time she had been kidnapped.“Martha, they have not been done anything to you yet?”“No, I am just scared.”“Don’t be afraid, you are safe now!”“Let’s send Mr. Carter and Princess to the hospital!”Although Martha was now seriously injured, she got some wounds on her skin. I was also injured. We need to go to the hospital.Half an hour later, I
Evan’s POV:When the kidnapper heard, this he handed the phone to Martha.Martha’s panicked voice came from the other end of the phone. “Evan save me. I am scared. I don’t want to die.”My heart sank. “Martha, don’t be afraid. I am coming to save you!”“Yes, Evan, please save me. I want to go home. Boohoo!”Before Martha could say anything, the kidnapper gagged her again.After confirming that Martha was still alive, I felt a little relieved.“Mr. Carter, can you relax now? Your girlfriend is still alive and well. If you continue to hesitate, you can’t be sure what will missing from her body.”“Don’t hurt her. I am going to South Bridge now.”Twenty minutes later, I drove to the South Bridge again.The total length of the bridge was about a few kilometers. It was the X city sea bridge that connected V City and M City.Below the bridge was the sea.I waited on the bridge for more than ten minutes, but no one came.“Are they coming?” I thought as I looked at my watch. Another ten minute
Kester’s POV:“Hey! Hey!”I frowned. I hated Evan even more.I thought Evan was a heartless man who certainly be punished one day.Although Anya and woken up, she was extremely weak. She was still having a fever and her mind was a mess.“Jason, Jerry, Flora. I missed you so much…”I pushed the wheelchair to Anya’s bed. “Anya…”She looked up slightly and asked gently, “Kester, have you called him? How was it? Will he bring over my kids?”“Um…” My eyes flickered, not knowing how to answer.Looking at my troubled expression, she smiled sadly. She seemed to know that Evan had refused to let her see the kids.“How is it? When will the children come over? I really want to see children now!”My eyes darkened. I didn’t want anyone to be too disappointed. I was even more afraid that she would be sad when she heard that the children had not been sent overseas.“Anya, for now, you need to take care of yourself. I just asked the doctor, and he said that you need to rest well. Moreover, the childr
Evan’s POV:Around 9:00 PM, I returned to the Sherane Bay Villa in a heavy mood.I was worried about children’s safety now. I had to send them to a safe place.Upon spotting my return, the children hurriedly approached me to deliver the news. “Daddy, we have discussed crucial clue…”I looked at the children, my expression burdened. “Jason, Jerry, Flora, there is something I need to tell you about.”“Daddy, what it is?”“I want to send you guys overseas for a period of time. You are leaving tonight.”“Huh?” The three children looked at each other.Jason said solemnly, “Daddy, we have a big discovery. I have repaired the surveillance data. Look, this is the bad guy who planted a bomb in Mommy’s car.”I frowned and reached out to touch my son’s head.That becomes inconsequential.I was already aware that it was the same group who had planted the bomb in Anya’s car and abducted Martha.The most important thing was now to ensure the safety of the children.These Kidnappers seemed to be ver
Evan’s POV:I was preparing the cash.The number of money was too big, and the bank also needed time to prepare the cash.We had to go to different banks.It took more than a dozen assistants an entire due to raise the cash.With so much money added together, it weighed more than a ton. It was neatly packed into more than ten boxes.“Mr Carter, the cash is ready.”I took a look. The money was all in the passcode box and neatly placed in the truck!The money didn’t matter much to me.What saddened me was the loss of Precious Pearl and nearly three hundred carats of raw diamond!I spent nearly $600 million on them in the auction.Those two treasures were invaluable. There was the possibility I would never be able to retrieve them.Beep!The kidnappers called again.I calmly answered the call. “Hello!”On the other end of the phone, the sinister voice sounded as usual. “Mr. Carter, you are very cooperative. You didn’t call the police.”I spoke directly, “The money and items are prepared.
Evan’s POV:“$200 million in cash?” I was shocked.That was a lot of money.“Why? Have you regretted it?”I tried my best to suppress my anger and said slowly, “it is indeed difficult to raise the cash. Even if I can raise it for you, I have to mobilize a few trucks. Are you sure you can take so much money when you escape?”The kidnapper smiled darkly again. “Hehe, Mr. Carter. I will take a step back. If you don’t have so much cash, you can pay us in other forms.”When I heard this, my frown deepened. “For example?”I heard that you got a Precious Pearl in the audition on a two-hundred-carat pink diamond. They should be worth $200 million.”Hearing this, I couldn’t help but frown.“This was the ultimate treasure of the Carter family.“No, I can give you the money, but not this.”“You can’t?” The kidnapper seemed to sing his hand and slapped Martha.“Smack!” There was a crispy sound.On the other under the line, Martha whimpered.“Clap! Clap!”“Ahh!” Martha’s scream was very miserable.
Evan’s POV:When Princess Martha saw the news on TV, she could not help but question me.“Evan, who is she?”“She is my family, my children’s mother.”“Evan, I don’t mind.“Martha, I am sorry. I love my ex-wife. I can’t marry you. I will arrange a plane to send you back to Novlis right now.”“No, I am not going back.”“It’s not up to you.”“Mr. Carter, bad news.”“What happened?”“Princess Martha ran away from the airport. She is missing now!”“What? How did this happen?”No matter what, Martha was a princess of Novlis. She was not familiar with X city. What if something happened to her?“Princess Martha said she needed to use the bathroom. So, I waited outside the ladies’ room. But she didn’t come out after and I had been waiting for half an hour. When our people went in to check, Princess Martha was already gone.”“Hurry up and find her. Send all our people out to to look for her. We must find her as soon as possible. I will join you guys to look for her. Hurry up and go! Don’t come
Evan’s POV:As the two were arguing, a doctor in a white gown and mask walked over, followed by four series-looking nurses. The doctor looked at us and warned us sternly. “You are in the hospital now. Please don’t make such a noise. It will affect the patients.”“Humph!” Kester and I looked at each other with disdain.“Doctor, when will Anya woke up?”“If she continues to sleep like this, will she become a vegetable?”The doctor replied with a serious expression. “The patient is in critical condition and needs to be undergo such emergency surgery. Calm down. You don’t have to worry so much.”We both were stunned.The doctor seemed to be a little strange.Without saying anything else, he walked into the intensive care unit with the nurses.A short while later, they wheeled Anya out.Kester asked nervously, “Doctor, where are you going to the surgery? You didn’t say anything about the surgery before.”“We observed in the monitoring room and found that there was something wrong with the
Evan’s POV:I rushed to the airport.Princess Martha was sitting alone on the bench at the airport without any luggage.“Martha!” I called out in a deep voice.Princess Martha was overjoyed to see me.She immediately ran over and threw herself into my arms. “Evan, I know you would come. I know you would still love me.”I frowned. “Martha, why are you doing this? Go home now. I will go meet you after I am done with my business.”Martha no longer believed me. She shook her head, “No, I am not leaving. Evan, I love you. I want to marry you. Without you, I feel like life is meaningless. I will die without you!” With that, she began to cry.I felt so helpless. I warily looked around, afraid that the media would take photos of us. “Let’s go. I will send you to the hotel first.”When she heard that, she sniffed and followed me out.But I was worried,
