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?”

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.&
Tim’s POV:The more I listened, the more irritated I became. These women only cared about money.If she didn’t mention money, the Helsen family would certainly not let her be short of money, because we were such a wealthy family. However, she kept asking for money by all means and didn’t actually care about Kester at all. Which was really repulsive.“Wait till the labor first! During this period, you are not allowed to go anywhere. You must stay here and wait for the delivery.”“Huh? I don’t think you should make me do that.”I completely lost my patience. I stubbed out the cigar in my ashtray and said to the bodyguard beside me, “Keep her under guard. If anything happened to the child, she doesn’t need to be kept alive anymore.”“Yes, Mr. Helsen!” The bodyguard said and went forward to snatch her arm.“Miss Ellen, please come with me.”She seemed to be in pain when the bodyguard snatched her. She blacked out and almost lost her balance.“Mr. Helsen, I will give birth to the child, bu
Anya’s POV:Miranda came back after buying some food.Seeing me in a daze, she hurriedly went forward and asked, “Anya. What’s wrong?”“Something happened to the company,” I said as I pushed my hand into my hair.The Walter Group was already like a candle in the wind right now. Now, it was pushed to the center of this storm. It was very likely that the Walter Group would be destroyed.Especially at this time, I didn’t know where else I could raise so much money.Six hundred million dollars!With companies current stock value, even if I sold all my shares, I would not be able to raise $600 million.Miranda’s eyes darkened, “What happened to the company?”“In short, it's a very tricky matter. The Walter Group is very likely to be bankrupt!”“Is it that serious?” Miranda was also frightened.I didn’t speak, feeling lost and helpless.Miranda’s eyes turned red, “Anya, how much do you need? I still have ten thousand dollars here. Just take it first.”I smiled bitterly and leaned weekly on
Anya’s POV:After the call, I felt even more despair.In a month, I couldn’t raise $600 million.Beep! Beep! Beep!Just as I hung up the phone buzzed again.“Hello, Ethan!”On the other end of the line, Ethan said in a heavy voice. “Miss Walter, when are you coming back? The company is in a mess now. Many employees are asking to resign. Also, our partners are requesting to terminate our contracts. Please come back quickly. The company really can’t hold on anymore!”“Okay, I understand. I will make time to go back in the next few days.”“Okay. I will try to comfort our business partners again.”“Alright!”After hanging up, I leaned against the hospital bed weekly and tiredly.The fact that Walter Group was about to go bankrupt made everyone panicked.Even if I sold all my properties, I would not be able to raise $600 million.I stayed in the hospital for another three days.Kester had been lying in the intensive care unit for 12 days.Today, after repeated examination, the doctor confi
Author’s POV:Half an hour later, Evan arrived at the Walter Group on time.“Hello, Mr. Carter, why are you here?”“I have an appointment with Anya.”“Oh, Miss Walter is in the office. I will bring you there.”Evan didn’t say anything and just strode toward Anya’s office.He was very familiar with this place and didn’t need anyone to lead me the way.“Oh my God! Why is Mr. Carter here?”“I don’t know. It’s amazing!”“Do you think Mr. Carter will help Miss Walter?”“That’s hard to say. If Mr. Carter is willing to help, our company will certainly be able to survive this!”“Let’s hope so!”Anya’s POV:“Miss Walter, Mr. Carter is here!”Daisy pushed open the office door. Her voice was filled with excitement.I also subconsciously stood up from my chair.Then, Evan walked in. As usual, he was wearing a nice suit and looked fabulous. He always looked so noble and elegant.“Evan, you are here…” I didn’t know what to say and could not help but feel nervous.Evan’s POV:I sized up Anya and fel
Anya’s POV:I was really in despair.In any case, the worst-case scenario was death!If Kester could not make it, I didn’t want to live anymore.My only regret was that I could not bring the Walter Group to greater heights. Instead, I destroyed my grandfather’s life work.Seeing that I’d given up, Evan thought for a while and held my shoulder. “It's fine if you don’t want to remarry me. You have to be my lover for five years. Five years later, I will give you back your freedom. Is that enough?”When I heard this, I raised my eyes slightly and looked at Evan bleakly.“No… no way…”He smiled bitterly, “Haha, if you don’t agree to this condition, then there is nothing I can do. I still have something on. I gotta run now.”With that, he turned around and walked towards the office door.He knows that I don’t have any other options.Seeing that Evan was about to leave, I panicked even more, “Let me think about it.”“Sure! I will give you a week to think about it. Call me when you make up yo
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
