Evan’s POV:Jenny was not my type at all, to begin with. In addition, I was feeling exasperated and didn’t want to say anything superfluous.When she saw my impatient look, she took a deep breath. “Evan, I know you are annoyed. But Miss Walter is already engaged. Why can't you let it go?”My eyes flickered. “Who said I can’t let it go?”“Evan, just let bygones be bygones! The weather is very good today. Why don’t we go out for a cruise in the sea?”“I am not in the mood!”“Evan…” Jennie tried to flirt coquettishly.Unfortunately, her actions made me even more disgusted. I have to work now. Please leave!”“Evan, I… I like you a lot. Can’t you just give me a chance?” She said.Jenny’s POV:I couldn’t care less about being reserved anymore and reached out to hug his arm.I had always been confident in my charm.However, I simply couldn’t conquer Evan.Nevertheless, I have always liked challenges with a high level of difficulty. The more unattainable a man was, the more I wanted him to kn
Anya’s POV:On Kester’s side, many guests were attending the wedding, and there was also a special emcee to be a host for the wedding.The next day, I woke up early in the morning.The makeup artist and stylist began to work on my makeover. Rose, Daisy, and others had also changed into bridesmaids' dresses.As there were no elders present, Miranda stood in the elders on the bride's side.At eight o’clock in the morning, more than ten bridal cars set off in a majestic convey from the hotel.There was a joyous commotion outside the hotel. Kester bought more than ten groomsmen, and they headed for the hotel room together.“We are here for the bride.”“Mr. Helsen, we have to break the door down!” The groomsmen were causing a ruckus.The emcee directed the groomsmen as they livened up the atmosphere.There were not many bride-maids on my side. So, the bridegroom was not given a hard time. The room door was opened quickly.“Anya I love you.” Kester handed a bouquet to me.I smiled and took
Anya’s POV:I was also shocked, I was flabbergasted as I looked at Ellen.For the past few days, Kester had appeared uneasy and troubled. I had already guessed that something thorny must have happened.I had assumed that it was related to Evan all this while. I didn’t expect it to be connected to Ellen.Ellen walked up to me, “Miss Walter, I am now pregnant with Kester’s child. I don’t object to your marriage, but Mr. Helsen must give me and the child an answer.”I was dumbstruck. I couldn’t recover from my shock for a long time.“Anya, let me explain.” Kester instantly tried to explain.How was the truth right in front of my eyes? Any explanation would appear weak.“Oh, my goodness! Isn’t this the superstar Ellen?”“That’s right! I heard that Kester Helsen single-handedly groomed her until she became famous. So, she was also his secret lover.”“Gosh! There is going to be a good show to watch. Now, this is even more exciting than filming a movie.”“Tsk! Tsk! I didn’t come to today's w
Anya’s POV:“Kester! Kester!” My eyes instantly widened as I threw myself into his arms and shook his body.“Kester, wake up! You must pull through!”The ambulance whizzed through the traffic without stopping for a moment.Less than ten minutes later, the ambulance arrived at the hospital.“Someone has been shot! Doctors, save him quickly!”The bodyguard carried Kester who was covered in blood and rushed into the hospital.When the doctor and nurses saw this, they were also badly shaken! After all in society, it was rare for people to be shot by a gun.Soon, Kester was sent to the emergency room.I followed him all the way. The white gown I wore was already covered in blood. I sank on the bench outside the emergency room, as if all my muscles and bones had been extracted.I was about to have a relapse. The depression that had troubled me for many years made me extremely di
Evan’s POV:I also heard the news as well.When I heard that someone had fired a shot at the wedding, I was also terribly shocked.“Someone fired a shot at a wedding. Is Anya okay?”Coral reported, “I heard that Kester Helsen took a bullet for Miss Walter. Miss Walter is fine now. Kester Helsen is seriously injured and still in the hospital undergoing treatment. It was said that the bullet was 2 millimeters away from piercing his heart. He is not out of danger yet. Even if he wakes up, he will probably remain in a vegetative state in the future.”Hearing that I couldn’t help her gasped.Initially, I thought that no one could love Anya more than me. Now it seems that Kester loves Anya more than me.If I were in Kester’s shoes, I probably wouldn’t have instinctively taken a bullet for Anya in such an urgent situation.“Then, how is Anya now? Is she very sad?”&ldq
Anya’s POV:In the blink of an eye, Kester had stayed in the intensive care unit for two days.I also have been keeping watch outside the door for two days. Other than Miranda staying back to company me, everyone else had gone back.Tim was also advanced in years and didn’t continue to keep watch over Kester eventually. However, he comes to the hospital visit every day.“Doctor, how is Kester? Has he regained consciousness?”“Not yet.”“Can I go in and see him?”“Not yet, for now!”When I heard this, I stumbled and almost lost my balance.Miranda hurriedly supported me, “Anya, how are you?”“I am fine. I am just a little dizzy!”“Look at you. How can you take it if you carry on like this? Before Mr. Kester wakes up, you wouldn’t be able to take it anymore.”I tried my best to support my body and said
Anya’s POV:I don’t know how long I have been unconscious.I suddenly woke up from my dream, “Kester… Kester…”“Anya, you are awake?”“Mommy, you are finally awake!”I opened my eyes groggily. What greeted my eyes was Miranda’s anxious expression, as well as Jason and Jerry’s adorable faces.“Jason! Jerry! Why are you here?”“Mommy, you are finally awake. Daddy send us here.”Upon hearing this, I struggled to sit up.“Anya, you are weak now. You must not get up.”Jason said with his tears, “Mommy, what’s wrong?”“Don’t be afraid. Mommy is fine. Where is Flora?”“Flora is sick. Daddy was afraid that there would be germs in the hospital. So, he didn’t let Flora come here.”“Where is Daddy?”“Daddy is waiting d
Evan’s POV:In the parking lot, I sat inside the car and smoked one cigarette after another.At this moment, I wanted to go up and see Anya. However, I was afraid of bumping into the Helsen family members.“Daddy, we are back!”“Mm-hmm, Let’s go!”The two little fellows got into the car, and the driver started the car and drove out of the parking lot.“How is Mommy now?”“Daddy, Mommy’s very sad!”When I heard this, a hint of disappointment appeared on my face. There was an indescribable feeling in my heart.Anya’s POV:After I recovered some of my strength, I immediately got off the bed.I intend to go to see Kester.When Miranda saw this, she hurriedly went forward to dissuade me. “Anya, your body is still so weak. Rest more. You have not slept for two or three days. If this continues, you won’t be able to take it.&
Tina’s POV:I looked around and saw that there was no one around.Immediately, I opened my bag and took out a small blue bottle. I then opened the bottle and poured the powder in the coffee.Five minutes later, Marisa came over with the pajamas that Anya rarely wore. “Miss Walter, you should change your clothes first.”“Marisa, I’m sorry. Half of the coffee has been split.”“Ohh, it’s fine. I will just go for another cup.”“Alright, thank you.”Evan’s POV:I sat by the computer in the study, reading the information attentively.There was a knock on the door.“Come in.”Marisa pushed the door open and walked in. She respectfully brought coffee to my desk, “Sir, your coffee.”I didn’t even raise my head and replied indifferently, “Okay, just leave it there.”She didn’t dare to say anything. After putting down the coffee, she hurriedly left the study.As I flipped through the documents, I became increasingly frustrated. The content of the files was giving me a headache.I simply closed t
Evan’s POV:When I heard this, I couldn’t help but frown. “Evan, you will tire them out if you let them learn so much at the same time.”“How can? I have been training like this since I was young.”When Jerry heard this, he looked at him with admiration. “Wow, isn’t Daddy martial arts very powerful?”Evan raised his head arrogantly, “It is not very powerful!” Then he corrected Jerry. “It’s special, extremely powerful.”“Oh my. If Daddy meets Iron Man or Batman, who’s better?”“That’s because they have not encountered me. If they were to face me, I would turn them into a pile of scrap metal and bat specimens.”“Wow, really?” the two little guys looked at their Dad in admiration.I was on the verge of coughing up blood. “Evan, do you have to be so… confident?”“It’s just that my absolute strength doesn’t allow me to be humble.”I was speechless.This arrogant bastard had always had an inflated sense of self.“When we grow up, we will be as outstanding as Daddy and suppress him.”Evan sm
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
