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
David’s POV:When I heard this, my eyes turned easily red.I have not seen my father since I started fleeing.Especially after my Dad was hospitalized. I never bothered to visit him even once. In the past, I treated my Dad’s pride and glory like my own.But now seeing myself in the state, I couldn’t bear to face Dad anymore.Seeing a slight change in my expression, Anya quickly continues to appeal to our family bond. “David don’t make another mistake. We are biological siblings, and you are also Flora’s biological uncle. If you let Flora go, you can do whatever you want to me.”“I am also heartbroken that Walter's family ended like this. But ever since I was young, I have always tried my best to integrate into your family…”“The family doesn’t accept me and keeps excluding me…”I suddenly waved his hands, “Shut up and stop spouting nonse
Anya’s POV:Surrounded by small islands, one can observe the environment where I standing with a pair of binoculars.After hanging up, I got out of the car. She stood on the dock and looked around.There were fishermen selling seafood everywhere. On the sea, many small fishing boats were floating around.The fisherman stood on the fishing boat and enthusiastically hawked to passersby. “Do you won’t buy lobster? They are fresh and cheap.”“There are also groupers and crabs. They are all freshly caught. Come and buy some.”I was not in the mood to care about these people. I just looked at the people coming and going in front of me uneasily.I waited another ten minutes or so.A middle-aged man with dark skin approached me. “You are Anya Walter, right?”I turned around and saw a man dressed as a fisherman standing behind me.“Yes, I am Anya Walter!”“Come with me!”I held my breath and hurriedly followed the fisherman.The fisherman brought me to a relatively quiet dock and pointed at th
Evan’s POV:Beep! Beep! Beep!David called again.Anya and I both rushed to answer the call. I answered the call hastily.“Hello…”On the other end of the phone, David said gloomily, “Anya, come to Newcan Island alone! Don’t play any tricks, or your daughter will die a horrible death.”Anya’s voice sank, “Alright, don’t worry. I will go alone.”“If I find out that you and Evan were playing any tricks behind the scenes, I will chop your daughter into pieces and feed her to the dogs.”“David, don’t hurt, Flora. Don’t worry, I will go alone.”He sneered and hung up.After hanging up, my eyes darkened. “Anya, I won’t allow you to go. If somebody has to go, it would be me.”Anya’s expression was a little unfocused, “Evan this is the grudge between me and David. Let me settle it alone.”“No, I won’t let you go alone to meet your death. Kody keeps an eye on her. Don’t let her leave Sherane Bay Villa.”“Yes, Mr. Carter.”Without waiting for the bodyguard to come forward, Anya rushed to the co
Anya’s POV:After waiting for the entire night, the call didn’t come again.Evan and I had not slept the entire night. Our eyes are red from exhaustion from the whole night. We remain on the edge, feeling as if it were doomsday.Beep! Beep! Beep!In the morning, Evan’s phone rang againThe two of us reached for the phone at the same time. “Hello!”On the other end of the phone, the voice from the voice changer said, “It seems like you have not made up your mind yet.”I asked bluntly, “David, is that you?”The other end of the phone suddenly fell silent.I took a deep breath and said calmly, “I know it’s you. Please don’t hurt Flora. If you hate me, you can come at me. Flora is just a child. She is innocent. Please don’t hurt her. No matter what, you are her biological uncle.”When David heard this, he was furious. “Shut up. Are you done talking?”“David, can we talk calmly? Even if I die, many things can’t be resolved. What do you want? Or what do you want me to do? You can tell me.”
Anya’s POV:If Flora was kidnapped, with the Carter family's financial resources, no matter how much ransom was asked, we could afford it.But I was afraid that David had abducted Flora. The situation would be different if that’s the case.He hated me to the core. He might very well take revenge on me by hurting Flora.In the next hour, Evan and I looked like it was the end of the world.Every second seems to be like endless darkness.Beep! Beep! Beep!Finally, Evan’s phone rang.Evan held his breath and quickly picked up the call. “Hello!”On the other end of the phone, a distorted voice from a voice changer said, “Hello, there Mr. Carter!”Evan’s POV:I gasped. This voice was very familiar to me.Just like the kidnapper who kidnapped Princess Martha before, it was the same kind of voice changer. “Who are you exactly?”“Do you have my daughter?”“That’s, smart!”“Please don’t hurt my daughter. How much do you want? I will give it to you.”“I don’t want money this time. I want people.
Anya’s POV:I had been too careless.I know that someone had always wanted me dead, so I shouldn’t have let my guard down.Although I had bodyguards with me this time, not many people were allowed to enter the hospital. Therefore, the bodyguard could only wait outside, which gave the criminals an opportunity.“If anything happened to Flora, I would never forgive myself for the rest of my life.”“Flora, where are you? It’s all Mommy’s fault…”“Miss Walter, it’s not time to be sad. Finding Miss Flora is the priority now.”“Harry, let’s hurry to the surveillance room and see if Miss Flora has been taken out of the hospital.”“Okay.”The group of us arrived at the surveillance room.“Miss Flora is missing. Hurry up and put out all the surveillance cameras.”The security guard in the surveillance room was originally dozing off. When a few blurry men barged in, he was so frightened that didn’t dare to say anything and hurriedly checked the surveillance camera.Kody moved the mouse head to c
Anya’s POV:I kept comforting Flora. It was not easy for me to coax my daughter.The nurse drew two tubes of her blood and brought her to the CT room for various tests.After the examination, I asked the nurse, “How long will it take for the result to be out?”“The other test result could be collected in an hour. The result of the blood test would only be out tomorrow.”I had also expected this. It was always like this in the past. “Alright, I understand.”When it was almost noon, Evan called and asked, “How was it?”“There is nothing wrong with these tests. We will have to wait till tomorrow for the blood test result.”“Oh, then I am relieved.”We left the Children’s Hospital.I call Fantine again.“Hello, Miss Anya?”“Is Dad in the hospital?”“Oh, Mr. Walter is here.”I paused for a moment. “I will go over to see him later. Tell Dad.”“Okay.”After the call, I prepared to go to the hospital to see Dad.“Flora, follow Aunt Lilian home first. Mommy will go to and see Grandpa.”When Fl
Evan’s POV:I rubbed Jerry’s head and smiled reluctantly. My youngest son was clever and knew how to flatter me. He was completely different from Jason’s personality.After a twenty-minute drive, we arrived home.“Flora, Daddy, and Mommy are back.”‘Daddy, Mommy. Cough, Cough…” Flora was watching cartoons.Her eyes lit up when she saw us return. And she greeted me as a lie like she did every day. However, she looked sluggish.Anya handed a gift to Flora. “This is a gift for you, Flora!”“Thank you, Daddy and Mommy,” Flora got a limited edition doll and squeezed out a smile.“Baby, are you feeling unwell?”“Yeah, I am a little unwell!” She said. She couldn’t help but cough twice again. Her big eyes revealed her trace of fatigue.Anya’s POV:Seeing this I quickly reached out and touched my daughter’s forehead.The temperature was not very high. It did not seem like she was having a high fever.However, Flora had always been sick. Thus her body’s immune system was weak.“Mommy will take
Anya’s POV:The next day, I got up early in the morning.After washing up, Evan was still asleep. I could only shake him awake. “Wake up. It's time to get up.”He yawned, “So early? What’s the hurry?”“It’s getting late. It’s already 7 o’clock. Hurry up and get up. We still have to rush to the airport.”“Sigh. I have to hand it to you.” Eva reluctantly got off the bed and was dragged to the bathroom by me, who urged him to wash up.After everyone was done, it was already 8:30 in the morning.The driver drove us to the airport.Unexpectedly halfway there, we met a few foreigners in a local police uniform.A tall, burly white man raised his hand to signal the driver to stop. He said in a local language. “Get out of the car quickly. There will be a routine inspection. We suspect you have dangerous items in your car.”“All of you get out of your car and take out your passports…”Evan replied in English, “We need to call our lawyer!”“Shut up and get out of the car.”A few police officers
