Anya’s POV:Mr. White and Mr. Patel were no longer polite. Their words were like elders lecturing their juniors.“Ah! We have really failed miserably this time. This step is too risky. Young people are always rash!”“It seems like Mr. Walter will have to take over this hot mess!”“That’s right! You even signed a betting agreement with Mr. Carter. I didn’t want to blame you, Anya. But you really overestimated yourself!”“Hurry up and resign from your position as a chairwoman before you are completely cornered. Leave yourself a way out, and we can still keep our jobs! Otherwise, if we really waited for three years, the Walter Group will probably lose so much that we have completed nothing left!”I sat there in a daze, as I couldn’t find the words to say.At this point, what else could I say? Unless I could find a better supplier than JK Technologies.However, even if there was another supplier, it could not solve the urgent matter that I am facing now.“Dear shareholders, I really feel
Mr. Patel POV:Everyone in the meeting room looked frightened and our hearts trembled.She is already at a dead end. However, instead of trying to rely on Mr. Carter, she is being so rude to him.“Anya, how can you talk to Mr. Carter like that?”“You are the one who messed things up. What right do you have to be angry? Hurry up and apologize to Mr. Carter.” I looked at Mr. Carter and said, “Mr. Carter don’t be angry! Miss Walter is still young. I apologize to you on her behalf!”Even though it was he who messed things up by hitting Steven and causing the Walter Group to lose the chance to collaborate with JK Technologies, we can’t say anything to him.After all, Walter Group can afford to lose collaboration between the Walter Group and JK Technologies, but we can’t afford to offend him.He looked at everyone and spoke, “Oh, I heard you guys shouting outside just now. Come some of you want to quit the Walter Group, right?”“Um…”Hearing that, I and Mr. White looked at each other, feeli
Anya’s POV:“Thank you?” I rolled my eyes, glaring at him.He looked down at me and smiled frivolously! Then, he took off my black-framed glasses! “I still like it when you are not wearing glasses!” As I spoke, he touched my cheeks, suggestively!With my eyes full of hatred, I slapped his hand away and said, “Don’t touch me!”He took a few steps forward and pressed me against the conference table. His hawk-like eyes were filled with mockery and evilness.Then, with the flips of his hand, he held my chin, forcing me to look at him.He had played golf all year around, so there were slight calluses on his palm. As he rubbed his fingers on my chin, I felt a slight pain in my chin.“Hey, you are really turning your back on me! A woman like you needs to be taught a lesson! After I teach you a lesson, you will be obedient for few days. So, I will teach you a lesson every week from now on! I will teach you how to be obedient!”Moving my chin away from his grasp, I angrily kicked him between h
Evan’s POV:She blinked as tears eyes fell from my eyes.Her eyes regained some focus.Seeing her like this my heart ached, and I pulled her into my arms as I spoke, “Anya, I know I have hurt you in the past. I will slowly make up for it in the future…”However, she pushed me away and asked disdainfully, “Mr. Carter, why do you like barging into the female washroom so much?”Hearing that, the words I was about to say got stuck in my throat. I studied her expressions suspiciously.She looked like she was on the verge of collapse and was been hurting herself. And it made one’s heart ace to look at her.However, she had returned to her previous aggressive self in the blink of an eye.“Anya are you alright?”She had already regained her previous composure and said calmly, “Mr. Carter, that’s a strange question to ask. I should be the one asking if you are alright. If you keep barging into ladies room like this, you will be arrested as a lunatic!”Pursing my lips, I pointed at the ball of
Anya’s POV:“It doesn’t matter whether you agree or not, I will make you agree!”After speaking, he left the conference room and headed straight to my office.Seeing this, I became even more exasperated. “Stop right there! Where are you going? What are you going to do?”Ignoring my word, he pulled open the door of my office and strode in.“Since you are unwilling to find an office for me, I reluctantly share yours!”After he finished speaking, he sat on my office chair and placed his long legs on my desk, looking like a dove occupying a magpie's nest.I was almost close to vomiting blood because of anger. “Evan, are you crazy? Get up!” With that, I tried my best to push him off the chair. But he grabbed my arm and suddenly dragged me towards him.“Ah!”I scrambled as my entire body fell into his arms. Then, he hugged me tightly and kissed my cheek suggestively.“Are you so eager to throw yourself at me? Don’t worry! I will satisfy you every week from now on!”Hearing this I choked my
Tina’s POV:Even though I felt hurt after hearing his words, I didn’t say anything.It had not been easy for me to reach this step in my relationship with him, and I was unwilling to give up just then.My only wish was to marry Evan and into the Carter family. As long as he could give me the status of Mrs Carter, I am willing to accept his infidelity, even if he went out with another woman every day.“Evan, that’s not what I meant! What I mean is that you and Anya have a history, and we are biological sisters after all! If words get out, it won’t be good for Anya, you and me! Evan, I know you’re under a lot of pressure and need somewhere to vent, but can you not do it with Anya?”As I spoke, I looked at him with pleading eyes.The meaning behind my words was evident. He could seek the company of another woman, but that woman could not be Anya.Even gold diggers were preferable to Anya, who would threaten my status.Hearing that, he raised his eyebrows and looked at me. However, there
As I walked over, a few employee conversations fell into my ears.“Oh my God! Mr. Carter is here again.”“That’s right! Mr. Carter has been coming here every two or three days recently. In the past, it would be rare if he even visited once in a year!”“Hey, do you think Mr. Carter intends to remarry Miss Walter?”“That’s hard to say. I heard that Miss Walter gave birth to triplets, not twins. The children’s father is probably Mr. Carter.”“Wow! If Miss Walter’s children are Mr. Carter’s, why is she still working so hard? She’s set for life!”“Really? Isn’t Miss Walters children’s father is Mr. Helsen?”“That’s right! Isn’t Miss Walter’s boyfriend, Mr. Helsen?”“Well, no one knows the details. The relationship between the wealthy are completed. Ordinary people like us can’t figure them out!”“Stop talking, Rose is here!”The employees quickly returned to their duties and didn’t dare to continue gossiping.Meanwhile, I walked to the Anya’s office and knocked on the door.Anya’s POV:Alt
Anya’s POV:Soon it was noon and time for lunch.All the employees were given an hour and a half to eat and rest.Not in the mood to bother Evan again, I went to the staff canteen and had the staff meal like other employees.At that moment, many employees were also queuing to get food in the canteen.I took a stainless steel plate from the disinfection cabinet, went to the kitchen window, ordered a staff meal sat in the staff canteen, and ate.Evan was a picky eater, and he wouldn’t eat staff meals.And as expected, he didn’t eat and just sat beside me, watching me as I ate.Ignoring him, I took the spoon, mixed the dishes on my plate, then then ate one spoonful at a time.He frowned, his face full of disdain and shock.The usually lively staff canteen was exceptionally quiet today. And the reason was obvious, Evan is here.“Is it good?”I rolled my eyes, not bothering with him.I was not as fussy as him and didn’t pick my food. To me, the purpose of eating was to fill one stomach.Af
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,
