Tara’s POV:
As I saw Evan’s car disappear in the distance, I couldn’t help but stomp my feet angrily.
When I saw Evan’s dark face, after seeing Anya with Kester, I couldn’t help but feel delighted. Thinking that it was a good chance for me, I ran after him. However, I didn’t expect him to ignore me and drive away…
All of a sudden, Evan’s indifferent behavior towards me comes into my mind, and I feel panicked in my heart.
In the eyes of the outsider, Evan and I had a very good relationship and we were about to get married… however, I was the only one who knew the truth behind our relationship.
Even though Evan was good to me all these years, I could see the frigidity in his eyes. Ever since he divorced Anya, he seldom smiles.
Over the years, he had completely become a workaholic and sometimes it would even take two or three months for me to look at him at once. And now when Anya is back and even has two boys who look like Evan…
‘What if Evan is the father of those kids? No… No… it can’t be…’
“Miss Walter, when are you and Mr. Cater getting married?”
“What do you think of your sister taking over the Walter Group?”
As I was lost in my thoughts, I didn’t even realize when I was surrounded by the group of reporters. As their questions fell into my ear, I pulled myself back from my thought…
However, looking at the group of reporters in front of me, I just stood there frozen, not knowing what to do. Since I had never been exposed to the media, I didn’t know how to handle them at all.
As I was stammering, thinking what to do, suddenly a hand pulled me aside. As I looked over to see, who he was, I saw my mother standing in front of me.
Seeing her, I couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.
My mother looked at the reporters and said, “Sorry, sorry! But we don’t have any interview today!” Saying that, she held my hand and was about to leave, but the reporters didn’t let us go…
“Please say something Mrs. Walter!” A reporter said.
With a polite smile on her face, my mother looked at the reporters confidently and said, “Thanks for your concern, fellows. Mr. Cater and my daughter’s wedding will be held on time. As for when and where, I can’t tell you for now. And I beg you, please leave some space for the young ones. Thank you!”
“What about Karl’s will then? Is it true that Anya is going to take over the Walter Group?”
“Well… um… of course that not true! That’s nothing but a rumor. How can we leave such a large group in the hands of an inexperienced girl.”
Saying that we were about to go, when the sudden commotion behind us, drew my attention. As I looked over, I saw Anya and Kester walking out of the cemetery together.
Looking at them together, I couldn’t help but clench my fists.
Kester was born into a wealthy family and had grown into a handsome young man with a promising future. He was no less than Evan.
How can someone like him be with a woman like Anya, who was kicked out of the Cater family?
How can that bitch be so lucky?
‘What so good about that bitch that every man got attracted her her?’
The more I thought about it, the angrier I got. I wanted to kill that bitch, but I had no choice but to control my emotions. After all, that old man had left all his inheritance to her and if anything happened to her, it would not be good for us.
Thinking that, I clenched my fists and tried my best to calm down.
“Anya, are you about to take over the Walter Group?”
“Did Karl make a will to bequeath the position of head of the family to you?”
Mia’s POV:
Seeing Anya surrounded by the reporters, I couldn’t help but feel delighted. I knew Anya very well. Ever since she was a child, she was a stupid and cowardly pushover. This was also the reason, I said everything in front of reporters with so much confidence.
Considering Anya’s personality, it will not me too long to manipulate her and make her give up on Walter Group’s shares.
How can someone like her know how to deal with reporters?
I wanted to see Anya make a fool of herself in front of the reporters, but Anya’s next sentence was like a slap in my face.
“Yes,” Anya answered in a calm and crispy voice.
“So, Miss Walter, is it okay to reveal the contents of the will?” A reporter asked.
“About the will, I have delegated full power to my lawyer to handle it. There will be a press conference to announce the contents of the will! Thank you for your concern.”
As I saw Anya handle the press so confidently, I couldn’t help but grit my teeth in anger.
‘This little bitch! It’s only been a couple of years, but she is not that stupid girl anymore!’ I couldn’t help but curse inwardly.
“Anya, don’t say anything in front of the reporters! Did you consult your father about the will? Did you consult the Board of Directors? The old man’s just been buried, and you are trying to take over your father’s position as Chairman?” I said sarcastically, glaring at Anya.
Hearing that, Anya looked straight into my eyes and said, “I am just following Grandpa’s wishes. If you have any questions or complaints, please contact my lawyer.” Her eyes were calm and cold, I couldn’t see what she was thinking…
After Anya finished speaking, she turned around and followed Kester into the car, completely ignoring me… this kind of Anya made me feel a little panicky.
“Anay!” As I saw her leaving the car, my face turned livid with anger.
I can’t believe that a few years could change her so much! It must be Kester who was supporting her behind her back, that was why she was jumping so much. Otherwise, with Anya’s intelligence, how would she dare to treat me like this…’ I couldn’t help but comfort myself in my heart.
Mia’s POV:Three days later.A board meeting was held in the Walter Group.In addition to me, Frank, my both sons Harry and David, and the two other directors, Mr. Patel and Mr. White, all of them are present at the meeting as we agreed before.However, what shocked me most was that Evan was also present in the meeting room. Even though Evan had the 15% shares of the Walter Group, he had never participated in any board meeting or taken part in any management issue related to the company…What’s more, he had only brought those shares out of goodwill, so it was even more shocking for me to see him here.“It’s really strange! Mr. Cater is also here!”Seeing Evan here, Mr. White and Mr. Patel were eager to fawn on him, as if he was the one who controlled the whole Group. But I can’t blame them, as Evan has the power to destroy the Walter Group…After all, in front of the Carter Group, Walter Group was like an aunt in front of an elephant.However, Evan just sat on the chair silently, cold
Anya’s POV:“This is the ladies room. You are in the wrong place.” I said coldly, continuing to wash the blood off my hands.However, instead of leaving, Evan scoffed and turned on the tap to wash his hands.“I have underestimated you. I thought you were infatuated! But I didn’t expect you to find a new customer so quickly.”Hearing that my eyes filled with anger, however, I didn’t say anything as I didn’t want to continue this conversation anymore.I shook the water off my hand and walked straight.However, before I could reach the door, Evan grabbed my arm at once and violently pinned me against the wall.“Who is the father of your kids? When did you hook up with Kester Helsen?”Hearing his arrogant words, I couldn’t help to sneer. ‘We have already divorced for so many years? How dare he ask questions from me? Did he still believe that I am obliged to obey him?’I tried to break free from his grasp, but he was too strong for me. At last, I glared at him and said coldly, “Mr. Cater,
Evan’s POV:“What? Are you gonna throw yourself in my…”I turned around in disdain, only to see a furious Anya pouncing on me with her high heels in her hands like a lion cub.Before I knew what had happened, I had been hit more than a dozen times.“Why are you always so mean to me? What do I owe you? Huh? Why are you always so arrogant and full of shit!”Anya cursed as she continued to hit me! However, I was so stunned that I almost forgot to fight back. I just stood there straight and took the hit.The Anya I know had always been as timid as a lamb. She didn’t even dare to speak loudly, let alone hit anyone with her shoes.But now, she was striking me with her high heels, which was simply unreal and surprising for me.She didn’t look like the same weak, and cowardly Anya she used to be.Instead, she looked like a powerful woman! 'If anyone messed with her, she would not let him go!'After I regained my composure, I looked at her and yelled, “Stop that, woman! Don’t force me to fight
Mr. Paul POV:As I looked at the reports in my hand, I couldn’t help but get shocked.Anya is the vice president of JK Technologies… How can this be possible?“I was vice-president of JK technologies in charge of domestic operations. Here are the financial statement for the last three years. I think you all must have heard that JK’s profit in this region have increased in last few years.”As I was lost deep in my thoughts, Anya’s voice pulled my thoughts back to reality.Hearing her words, everyone in the meeting room had the same expression, shock!After all, JK Technologies was too well-known in the whole world to ignore any information about it. And to be the vice-president of JK technologies at such a young age, luck was required, but it was not gonna happen without abilities.“Wait, a minute! You can’t be the famous Miss Walter of JK Technologies, can you?” I could not help but ask in shock.Anya smiled confidently at me and replied, “Yes, that’s me.”As soon as she finished spea
Anya’s POV:I had never spent a penny of my father’s money ever since I was a kid, nor felt any father in love from him. What’s more, I only returned to X city at the age of 12 after my mother died.“Anya, did I hear it right? You are going to kick me, your father, out?”I looked at him coldly. “I am not kicking you out. It’s that you are not fit to be in the Walter Group anymore!”Nowadays, the Walter Group is crammed with Mia’s all kinds of relatives. These people all came here to slack off. The Walter Group would go down sooner or later if I didn’t get rid of them.“Good, very good! What a dutiful daughter! What a misfortune for my family! I have raised you for nothing. How could I have given birth to… to such an ungrateful person like you!” My father said as he pounded the desk angrily.“Dad, for so many years, you have never really raised me. I have never spent a penny of your money. So please don’t say that you raised me or anything like that ever again.” I said coldly.My words
Anya’s POV:Looking at my two little angels, the anger I felt before all flew away.“Mommy is still in the meeting. You need to go home. After the meeting, I will go back with you, okay?” I said, smiling at them.Jerry stuck his hands into his pockets, his face was extremely serious. “Mommy, Jason and I are worried that you might be bullied. We are going to stay here and protect you!” he said.Hearing this, I couldn’t help smiling. “My dear, boys, thank you. But Mommy needs to finish the meeting first and you will distract Mommy by staying here!”“Well… sure! You go to the meeting first Mommy, and we will wait for you here. I will take care of Jason and not make any trouble!” Jerry said.“Yeah, we are not going anywhere, Mommy!” Jason also nodded.Seeing them, I couldn’t feel warm in my heart. They are about the same age, but both of them have different personalities. Jerry is unusually intelligent. On the other hand, Jason is harp-witted and very good at observing people.“No one bul
Anya’s POV:As I looked at Evan's calm face, I wanted to slap him hard in the face!As I was cursing Evan in my heart, my father’s impatience voice fell into my ear.“Anya, if you sign in, I will let you be the chairman. However, I must warn you that I don’t think you can fulfil that promise. By then, you will lose everything and bring more shame to the whole Walter family. Then that time comes. I will cut off from you as well. Of course, if you give up the shares right now, you will still my beloved daughter. And as your father, I will certainly treat you well!”It would not need to be genius to know what he was implying.He was threatening me, that if I was determined to replace him, then he would cut off the father-daughter relationship between us.Suddenly, I felt a chill rising in my heart for no reason!First, it was the obstruction from my ex-husband, and now my father started morally blackmailing me as well.This is certainly a tough moment!“Fine. I will sign it.However, I ha
Mia’s POV:After getting rid of the security guards, I chased after Anya. However, as soon as I came out, I was surrounded by the reporters at once.“Mrs, Walter, can you tell us what has happened?” one of the reporters asked.Seeing the reporters, I took a deep breath as I didn’t want to ruin my fair lady image in front of the public. Then I said, “What happened is that we, Walter have raised an ungrateful girl who has turned her back on us today! She has no mercy even for her father!”“Mrs. Walter, what do you think of Anya’s relationship with Mr. Helsen?”“Rumors has it that Anya’s bought into Shining Star Media. Is it true?”“It’s her private business. You should ask her.” I said with a dark face as I was not in the mood for an interview. “Stealing men from other women and taking away properties from others. That kind of thing happens a lot. However, you need to see through all these. The Helsen family is a very respectable one. Will they allow a woman like that, to marry their fa
Anya’s POV:My head buzzed. I looked blankly at my son, not knowing how to answer.Jason paused briefly before continuing, “Mom, Mr. Helsen is good. We like him very much too. But we just want him to be our Uncle Helsen forever, not our dad.”Jerry immediately said in response to Jason’s words, “That’s right! Mom, you said that you would wait for Dad to come out, right? Mom, can you not abandon Dad? I want our family to be together forever.”I looked at the kid helplessly, saying, “You silly, who told you this?”“We saw the news on the Internet.”I took a deep breath and stroked the children’s heads one by one.“Sometimes what you see might not be the truth. That’s the nonsense written by the media. Do you believe what Mom told you or the story the people others made?”When the kids heard they said in unison, “We believe in mom, of course!”“That’s good. Since you trust me, I will tell you what happened. I met up with Mr. Helsen because I had something important to discuss with him. I
Anya’s POV:I frowned.I was asking the board members to report on their work, not the employees.It seemed like the employees who had just participated in the meeting were frightened.“Alright, just leave them on the table!”“Miss Walter, do you have any other instructions?”“No. That’s all!”“Then we will go out first.”“Okay.”After Mark and David left, I stroked my forehead and called Donald.I wanted to ask if the Green Bay project was done.Ring! Ring! Ring!After ringing for a moment, Donald answered quickly. “Hello!”“Mr. Donald, it’s me, Anya!”“Oh, it’s Miss Walter! How may I help you?” Donald asked respectfully.“How is the Green Bay project going?”Donald pondered for a moment before he answered. “Well, its in progress. There should be results soon.”“When can the construction site be resumed?”“We are waiting for documents to be approved. As soon as its approved, we can get back to work. Miss Walter, don’t worry. I have been keeping an eye on it. I will report you if ther
Author’s POV:Anya was Evan’s beloved woman, and they could not afford to offend her before.But now everyone knows that she cuckolded Evan.She was nothing without Evan’s support, and no one would take her seriously.The look in Anya’s eyes turned stern, “It’s been ten days since we started work after the New Year holiday. You guys should at least summarize what you have done during this time, right?”“Miss Walter, you must be kidding. You have not been to the office for five days, but you are asking us to do a work summary. If you want us to report on our work, you should take the lead to report on yours, right? After all, you are the new head of the cooperation, " the female director said sarcastically.She joined Carter Group when Evan’s grandfather was in charge of the company and has been working here for almost 30 years.Even Evan had to show some respect to her.She
Author’s POV:A big-eyed beauty at the front desk whispered to the customer service manager beside her, “Tsk tsk. I didn’t expect Miss Walter dare to come back to work. I thought she was too ashamed to see anyone and hid away!”The customer service manager pursed her lips. Then she sighed and commented, “You are overthinking! After all, that’s Miss Water. She has been through a lot and has seen everything. The rumors this time have nothing to her!”Another customer service representative with a round face and short hair mocked, “That’s right! Miss Walter is famous for attracting handsome and wealthy men. Some people had to work hard their entire lives. However, Miss Walter goes faster and higher in her career than anyone by using men as her stepping stone. In just two years, she has become the richest woman in X city. “Well, people have different storylines. I have to say, Miss Walters’ tracks are
Anya’s POV:When I heard this, I couldn’t help but frown.Tibetan mastiffs are large-sized and fierce. I don’t think having one with my children is a good idea!Thus, I said, “Well! Maybe not a Tibetan mastiff? It will be troublesome if he bites you. I think a teddy or a corgi sounds like a better choice.”Hearing this Jerry shook his head heavily. “Mommy, I don’t like small dogs. I like Tibetan mastiffs. They look like lions. By the way, Daddy also keeps many animals in the backyard. However, Daddy never allowed us to enter!”Jason and Flora were playing with building blocks. However, they run over quickly when they hear Jerry could have a pet.Jason carried Flora over since Flora could not walk herself.Flora got sick very often, so she was thin. Jason has no difficulties carrying her.Jason placed his sister on the sofa. Then he sat on my other side and said, “Mommy, I wa
Anya’s POV:I went up to take a look. Coral’s leg was still splinted. However, Kody’s injury was more severe. Kody lay on the bed and couldn’t get up on his own.Although I have not visited them at the hospital over the past few days, the Butler reported everything to me.Coral had no problem recovering. However, Kody has difficulties recovering as before. Even if Kody recovered, he could probably not drive again. What’s worse? There was the possibility that Kody would be disabled.Luckily, the insurance company compensated lot for Coral and Kody. The Carter Group also compensated a decent amount of money for Coral and Kody getting work injuries.The compensation for Kody and Coral was enough for them to live well for the rest of their lives if they did not squander the money. They would probably quit their jobs at the Carter Group when their injuries are healed.I comforted them gently. “Don’t worry
Evan’s POV:When speaking, Jenny looked at me with desire, hoping I would give her an answer.I looked at Jenny and wanted to reject her.She didn’t look good.The features made her look aggressive.I thought for a while, then said, “Give me some time to consider it.”Jenny's eyes lit up when she heard that. She said, “How much time do you need to decide?”I replied, “Huh. Marriage is not a child’s play. I had to get out of jail first, even if I wanted to marry you.”Jenny was overjoyed when she heard that she cried. “Evan, does that mean you are willing to give me a chance and date me?”In the past, I mercilessly rejected Jenny every time she confused her feelings with me.However, this time my answer was ambiguous. My attitude was different this time.I said, “Well, I can give it a try. However, I need time to get into a relationship.”She immediately replied, “It's okay. I can wait!”When we were talking, Jenny suddenly became suspicious. “Did you lie to me? What if you change your
Evan’s POV:I walked into the room before Jenny and waited for three minutes.I didn’t want to see Jenny. However, I changed my mind because I was angry at Anya.I thought, “Anya can meet Kester and stay with him for a few days. Why can’t I have some moments with another woman? I got piss Anya off.”I sat opposite Jenny. Jenny’s eyes lit up when she saw me. Then she hurriedly grabbed the phone from the wall. “Evan, I am here to see you again. How have you been recently?”I replied coldly, “I am doing okay.”Jenny frowned slightly and said sorrowfully, “Look at you. You have lost weight. Although you have some privileges here, the prison can never compare to your house. Evan, I wish you could come out tomorrow.”Hearing this, I frowned.Noticing my cold attitude, Jenny changed the topic, “Evan, I have bad news for you. My brother passed away.”As she spoke, her eyes turned red, and tears welled up in her eyes.When I heard this, I felt upset. However, I could not comfort Jenny through
Anya’s POV:The title was even more misleading.(Anya met with her ex-boyfriend, spending three days together in a villa.)I couldn’t help but gasp after reading it.I thought, “Gosh! When Kester kissed me on the forehead, there was nothing romantic about it. That was merely Kester’s goodbye kiss.”“I hugged Kester simply became I wanted to express my gratitude for everything he had done for me.”“Unexpectedly, in the eyes of the media, these behaviors became proof of an affair. No wonder Evan refused to see me. He must have read the news too. Crap. Evan the jealous baby, will probably get mad again.”Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!The phone in my hand vibrated. It was Kester again.I answered it subconsciously, “Hello, Kester!”Kester sounded anxious on the other side of the phone. “Anya, are you alright? I have already asked some people to deal with the news. However, it is very tricky this time. The rumors run wild for days, and the impact is severe. It will probably take days to get the trendi
