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
Rose’s POV:Hearing the sudden commotion, me and Daisy walked over to see what was going on.However, as soon as we came, I saw Mia walking into the company building, cursing loudly.There are also four middle-aged women, dressed fashionably, following her.“Hurry up and get out here. Anya is a professional mistress specialized in sleeping with men. Get out here and tell us how many men you slept with!”“You are so shameless. How dare you stay in X city!”“In ancient times, women like you would be whipped and paraded through the streets!”Like Mia, these middle-aged women also gained wealth and status by fishing for men in their youth.Therefore, it was natural that they didn’t care about manners. All kinds of insults spewed out from their mouths whenever they scolded people.The employees on the first floor were all alarmed and came out to watch the spectacle.“Mrs. Walter is here. Gosh, she is making such an unpleasant scene!”“That’s right! How uncivilized of her! Why can’t they ta
Mia’s POV:Evan’s voice was not loud, but it exuded a pressure that made people breathless.My lips turn pale. I pursed my lips as a look of discomfort crept up my face.To put it bluntly, I dare not ask if he went out to fight for other women.Given the current situation, it would already be a miracle if he went ahead and married Tina as scheduled.If he canceled the wedding, our family would become the laughingstock of X City.So, I dare to cause trouble for Anya, but not Evan.“Evan, that’s not what I meant.” I said.He crossed his long legs and leaned against his sofa with a deep frown. “Then what did you mean?”I quickly thought of an answer, “I mean, you’re about to get married, so you should spend more time with Tina. Why do you keep finding Anya when you are free? People will gossip!”Hearing that he sneered, blinking his hawk-like eyes. A menacing aura flowed from him. “Who’s gossiping? What gossip?”“Well… Didn’t you see the news online? Everyone is spreading nasty gossip!”
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
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?”&ldq
Anya’s POV:“Kester! Kester!” My eyes instantly widened as I threw myself into his arms and shook his body.“Kester, wake up! You must pull through!”The ambulance whizzed through the traffic without stopping for a moment.Less than ten minutes later, the ambulance arrived at the hospital.“Someone has been shot! Doctors, save him quickly!”The bodyguard carried Kester who was covered in blood and rushed into the hospital.When the doctor and nurses saw this, they were also badly shaken! After all in society, it was rare for people to be shot by a gun.Soon, Kester was sent to the emergency room.I followed him all the way. The white gown I wore was already covered in blood. I sank on the bench outside the emergency room, as if all my muscles and bones had been extracted.I was about to have a relapse. The depression that had troubled me for many years made me extremely di
Anya’s POV:I was also shocked, I was flabbergasted as I looked at Ellen.For the past few days, Kester had appeared uneasy and troubled. I had already guessed that something thorny must have happened.I had assumed that it was related to Evan all this while. I didn’t expect it to be connected to Ellen.Ellen walked up to me, “Miss Walter, I am now pregnant with Kester’s child. I don’t object to your marriage, but Mr. Helsen must give me and the child an answer.”I was dumbstruck. I couldn’t recover from my shock for a long time.“Anya, let me explain.” Kester instantly tried to explain.How was the truth right in front of my eyes? Any explanation would appear weak.“Oh, my goodness! Isn’t this the superstar Ellen?”“That’s right! I heard that Kester Helsen single-handedly groomed her until she became famous. So, she was also his secret lover.”“Gosh! There is going to be a good show to watch. Now, this is even more exciting than filming a movie.”“Tsk! Tsk! I didn’t come to today's w
Anya’s POV:On Kester’s side, many guests were attending the wedding, and there was also a special emcee to be a host for the wedding.The next day, I woke up early in the morning.The makeup artist and stylist began to work on my makeover. Rose, Daisy, and others had also changed into bridesmaids' dresses.As there were no elders present, Miranda stood in the elders on the bride's side.At eight o’clock in the morning, more than ten bridal cars set off in a majestic convey from the hotel.There was a joyous commotion outside the hotel. Kester bought more than ten groomsmen, and they headed for the hotel room together.“We are here for the bride.”“Mr. Helsen, we have to break the door down!” The groomsmen were causing a ruckus.The emcee directed the groomsmen as they livened up the atmosphere.There were not many bride-maids on my side. So, the bridegroom was not given a hard time. The room door was opened quickly.“Anya I love you.” Kester handed a bouquet to me.I smiled and took
Evan’s POV:Jenny was not my type at all, to begin with. In addition, I was feeling exasperated and didn’t want to say anything superfluous.When she saw my impatient look, she took a deep breath. “Evan, I know you are annoyed. But Miss Walter is already engaged. Why can't you let it go?”My eyes flickered. “Who said I can’t let it go?”“Evan, just let bygones be bygones! The weather is very good today. Why don’t we go out for a cruise in the sea?”“I am not in the mood!”“Evan…” Jennie tried to flirt coquettishly.Unfortunately, her actions made me even more disgusted. I have to work now. Please leave!”“Evan, I… I like you a lot. Can’t you just give me a chance?” She said.Jenny’s POV:I couldn’t care less about being reserved anymore and reached out to hug his arm.I had always been confident in my charm.However, I simply couldn’t conquer Evan.Nevertheless, I have always liked challenges with a high level of difficulty. The more unattainable a man was, the more I wanted him to kn
Evan’s POV:In the office, I sat on the leather chair. My face was terrifyingly ominous, but at the same time, it was ashen white.I had just undergone surgery yesterday. Although it was not a particularly major surgery, the scalpel was still used. It was very damaging to my overall well-being.Beep! Beep! Beep!Just then my phone rang. It was from Flora.“Hello, Baby!”On the video call interface, Flora leaned close to the screen. Her big eyes filled with worry, “Daddy, where are you now?”“What’s wrong baby?” My expression softened and revealed a trace of warmth.No matter how awful my mood was, as soon as I saw my daughter’s adorable face, all the awfulness instantly diminished considerably.“Daddy, did you not listen to the doctor? Did you secretly leave the hospital?” Flora looked with her big eyes. Her tiny face revealed a sensible manner that was incongruous with her young age.My eyes darted around. I didn’t want my daughter to worry and feel disappointed. “Er… No.”“Dad is ly
Anya’s POV:Around the evening, my phone rang.Beep! Beep! Beep!I looked at it and saw that it was called from Evan.“Kester, I have to take this call.”“Go ahead.”“Hello?” I walked to the bathroom and answered the call.Evan’s sullen voice comes out of the other end of the line. “Anya, where are you now?”I frowned and asked in a low voice. “What's the matter? Is there something urgent?”Evan said, “I want to see you.”“I am not free now. Let’s do it another day.”“No! Come at once. If you don’t, I will make you regret it.”Other than threatening me, Evan had no better way to get me to come to see him.“Evan, can you stop acting like this? If you continue to act like this, we can’t even remain friends anymore.”With that, I ended up the call.I couldn’t tolerate his foul habit of coercing me every time.I had already decided to marry Kester. No matter how difficult the road ahead was, I was duty-bound not to turn back.Evan’s POV:“Clatter!”After Anya ended the phone call, I slamm
Kester’s POV:I might be a playboy, but I was not a ruthless, cold-hearted man.Although I had no love for Ellen, I had been with her for so long after all. I couldn’t possibly give her a single cent.“I will give you ten million as a compensation. Go and abort the child immediately.”She was stunned and cried even harder, “Mr. Helsen, I don’t want money. Can you let me give birth to the child? I swear, I won’t disturb your marriage.”“Don’t say anymore. I’ll take you to the hospital now and get rid of the child. Ellen, you’re still very young. Then there are still many opportunities to meet better men. Don’t let a child ruin your whole life.” I rejected Ellen’s request firmly.“Alright, since you don’t want this child, I will abort it. Transfer the money!”I frowned deeply. “No, I want to go to the hospital with you.”“What if I abort the child and you don’t give me the money?”“Am I that kind of person? Don’t worry. The moment you get on the gynecological chair, I will transfer the
