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
Anya’s POV:At Sherane Bay Villa, I was feeling uneasy.I also know about Zachary's disappearance. Greyson even specially called me to ask about Zachary’s whereabouts.It was the fifth day of Christmas.I was sitting in the courtyard in a daze. My heart is a mess.Beep! Beep! Beep!My phone suddenly rang.I took out my phone and looked at it. The phone number was an unknown number. However, this was my private number, and only my family and friends know about it.“Hello?”There was a silence on the other end of the line. No one answered.“Who is it?” I asked again.There was no sound on the other end of the line, only a busy tone.I was baffled. “If you don’t say anything, I am hanging up.”There was still no answer on the other end of the line.I frowned and instinctively guessed that it was Tina. “Is it Tina?”Th
Zachary’s POV:I wanted to run. Unfortunately, my legs were already tied up with iron chains. I couldn’t run at all, let alone break free.The woman in red held a sinister-looking boning knife in one hand. Her hair covered most of her face as she walked towards me bit by bit.My heart was pounding so hard that I was about to faint.“Tina… Tina, I know it’s you! Please don’t scare me! I know it’s you! Let’s talk things over. Don’t do anything rash. Please don’t do anything rash. What do you want? You can tell me…”“Ah!”Tina had already walked to my side step by step and lightly brushed her hair aside, revealing a face as pale as paper!When I saw clearly that it was Tina, I was even more frightened.I had already seen how crazy Tina was!Now that I was in her hands, I would probably not be able to get out alive!“Tina…. Tina, calm down first. I have let you down. However, I was also forced to do it. I was also forced into a dead-end by you. I love you. I love you!”Tina was unmoved. S
Jenny’s POV:The family began to take turns calling Zachary.Unfortunately, we still couldn’t get through to him.At this point, four to five hours had passed since the first call.Mom's eyebrows kept twitching and she had a bad feeling, “Will something happen to Zachary?”Dad frowned and said angrily, “What could happen to him? Who knows where he went to play again? This rascal is becoming more and more useless.”“Forget about him. Let’s eat first!”“Impossible. No matter how ridiculous Zachary is, today is a special day. He couldn’t possibly be not coming back today!”“We have been unable to get through him. Something must have happened! Let’s quickly send someone to look for him!”When Dad heard this, his frown deepened.Zachary liked to spend time drinking and merry-making and preferred to come and go alone. Therefore, he did not like to bring bodyguards.I also started to get anxious, “Something might have happened to Zachary. Just now he said that he would be home in half an hou
Zachary’s POV:I quickly walked to the car and hurriedly opened the door.It was not until I got into the car that my pounding heart felt a little better.“Hurry up and go home…”Buzz!After I started the car, I got out of the parking lot as if I was fleeing.This hotel was about 25 miles away from the Garcia residence.Without traffic, I could reach home in less than an hour.The Garcia family was also wealthy. Wealthy families paid more attention to privacy and safety. Their residences were usually very remote. Many of them were mansions halfway up the mountain, far away from the city.I was driving home.It was halfway through the journey. After a few more turns of tree-paved roads, I was able to see the top of the mountain where the Garcia residence was located.“Beep! Beep! Beep!”When I made a turn, my phone suddenly rang.“How annoying…” I thought that my sister was urging me to go home again, so I picked up the phone and answered it.“I already said I will be home soon. Stop c
Jenny’s POV:Today was Christmas Eve.Almost everyone returns home to spend the New Year with their families.The Garcia family was naturally no exception.As soon as I walked into the house, Mom stood up with the blame on her face. “Jenny, you are finally back. I called you so many times, but you didn’t answer. What are you busy with?”“I am back now. Merry Christmas Daddy and Mommy!” I hugged my mom happily.Dad stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window. He pushed up his round-frame glasses and said unhappily, “What time is it? Why isn’t your brother home yet?”“That’s right! What’s going on with Zachary recently? He doesn’t come back more and more.”“He is also listless and distracted every time he comes back. This brat is getting more and more outrageous.”When I heard this, I secretly curled my lips in disdain.I know that my brother and Tina were dating.Now that his little girlfriend was gone, he must be sad.“Hurry up and call your brother. Tell him to come back quickly.”
Anya’s POV:“You are the one who came to me, not the other way around. If you don’t believe me, you might as well return.”“Miss Garcia, I am asking you for your help sincerely. If you continue with this attitude, we really can’t continue this conversation.” I stood up and pretended to leave.Seeing this, Jenny panicked and suddenly stood up, “Anya, what do you want?”I shrugged slightly, “I said that as long as you can get Evan out, I will certainly leave X city. I will keep my word. I can write you a guarantee.”“Hah, what’s the use of that?”I sneered, “Of course. It had a legal effect. As long as I leave X city, with your outstanding looks and family background, Evan will certainly fall in love with you over time.”Jenny’s POV:When I heard this, my eyes darkened. I also agreed with Anya’s words.As long as Anya left X city forever, then my chances with Evan were considerable.“Alright, I will believe you this once. Then write to me a guarantee. If you go back on your word at that
Jenny’s POV:I was stunned.I had looked for Anya and Evan before, but they all rejected me.Now that Anya had taken the initiative to look for me again, I was surprised.“Why? Have you thought it through? Are you willing to sacrifice yourself for him?”Anya took a deep breath. “Yes, if you have a way to get Evan out, I am willing to accept your suggestion to leave X city and never come back.”I rolled my eyes when I heard that.“Are you serious? You are not going to tease me again, are you?”“Why would I? I am very sincere!”“Alright then come to City Cafe!”“Will do.”Then I hung up the phone.Anya’s POV:After hanging up, I said, “Sam Drive to the City cafe!”“Alright!”City Cafe is X city’s most upscale coffee shop.At the same time, Jenny owned the place. It should be very safe to meet here.Thirty minutes later, Sam drove the car and arrived at City Coffee.“Where are you? I am already at the door.”“Then come in.”“Sam take the kids home first, then pick me up.”“Okay.”I got o
Anya’s POV:When I heard this, I felt a punch in my heart again.“Daddy will be out soon. Be good when Daddy isn’t around. Don’t be naughty, and don’t make Mommy angry.”“Yes, we will.”“Give the phone to Mommy. Let Daddy and Mommy a few words.”Anya took the phone. Her eyes were still a little red. “Don’t worry. The children have been good!”At this moment, I want to smash the glass window and hug the four of them.“Anya, I am worried about your safety. If anything happens to you, I can’t accept.”Anya pondered for a few seconds, “After the New Year. I will send the children overseas.”“What about you?”“Of course, I had to stay here!”When I heard this, my eyes turned even redder.I suddenly regretted it.I felt that I should never have given Anya the position o
Evan’s POV:(There was a shooting on Eastern Avenue, seriously injuring three people.)(The target of the gunshot is suspected to be the Carter Group’s new president.)I was special. Therefore, I lived in a separate cell that was even occupied with that television.After watching the news early in the morning, I was so shocked that my scalp went numb. I felt as if the blood in my body flowed backward.Bang! Bang! Bang!I patted the prison door.A guard walked over, “What’s the matter, Mr. Carter?”“I need to make a phone call.”“No, you are still in custody…”My eyes widened and I shouted, “I have to make a phone call now. Or you have to bear the consequences.”Seeing that I was agitated, the guard didn’t dare to act on his own. He quickly went to ask his superior.My request was approved by the higher-ups.I finall
