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!”
Hearing Anya’s words, I had a complicated feeling.I know she was lying, but deep down I hope that she was telling the truth.“Anya, don’t talk nonsense. You have to take responsibility for your words!” Evan said, looking at Anya with a terrifying expression.She pushed him away, looking angrily into his eyes.“I’ll take responsibility, and I’m responsibly telling you now that the person I love has always been Kester. I only married you because you are the president of a billion dollar consortium! I spend so much effort to set you up with myself, because you are the wealthiest man in X city. My goal was to marry into the Carter family and make use of you. But I have no use for you now. I don’t want to toy with you anymore. Please stop pestering me!”“I don’t believe it.” He said, clenching his fist.“You don’t believe me? Alright, I will tell you today their children are Kester’s. If you still don’t believe me, I will show you the children’s birth certificate and their paternity test
Carter familyEvan’s POV:“Mr. Carter…” The driver said, trembling in fear.“Shut up!” I said looking at him coldly.He was so frightened that he didn’t dare to speak anymore.As soon as I got home, I received a call from Grandma.Seeing this I frowned, but I still picked up the call.“Hello, Grandma!”Grandma’s voice comes from the other end of the line. “Evan, come and have dinner tonight with me!”“Grandma, I’m a little tired today. Can we do it another day?”She pondered briefly before earnestly advising, “Evan, I don’t want to interfere in your personal matter, but you have to think of potential repercussions. Don’t act recklessly! Since you are preparing to marry the Walter family’s second daughter, don’t get too involved with your eldest daughter! Otherwise, people will gossip, negatively affecting the Carter Group!”Hearing this, I frowned. It seemed that Grandma also had seen the picture of me and Anya kissing passionately at the airport.Since the Carter family is the wealth
Grace’s POV:On my way to the Carter family, I couldn’t help but think about Anya’s words.Of course, I understand the meaning behind her words.After all, I know my grandson’s personality well. As for Anya, I could tell that she was strong and proud from the words she spoke.Some things were probably Evan’s fault.On the weekend, Evan returned to the Carter Mansion as he promised.He would come back for dinner with me every weakened on time.During the dinner, he asked, pretending to be nonchalant, “Grandma, I heard that you went to see Anya?”“Yes!” I replied calmly.Seeing that I didn’t continue, he couldn’t help but ask after a while.“And?”“That’s all.”“Oh!”He said as he took a sip of the ginseng soup. His eyes are unfocused.Seeing his reaction, I sighed. “The children are not the Carter family. In the future, don’t make things difficult for Anya.”Hearing that, he was shocked and the spoon in his hand fell to the bowl, generating a crisp, ringing sound.“How did you know Gra
Tina’s POV:Smiling, Mom pattered my shoulder and said, “Everything’s fine. There is nothing to worry about. Everything will be fine once you are married. No matter what, you will marry into the Carter family and become Mrs. Carter! Than the Walter family can be proud! We can’t afford to mess things up this time. We have to endure everything. Don’t make a scene before Evan.”I nodded and answered, “I understand.”“Then hurry up and get packing! We have to prepare and go over to the Carter mention tomorrow. Go to bed early today.”“Okay, then I will go back to my room.”“Go sleep early. Don’t forget to apply a facial mask over to hydrate your skin.”“Got it mom,” I answered impatiently and went upstairs.After returning to my room, I eagerly took out my other phone.Paul had sent me many messages and was asking to meet me again.However, since the wedding was imminent, I dared not to meet him.If Evan found out, both I and the Walter family would be finished.As I was looking at my pho
Evan’s POV:My mind was in a mess.At that time, I thought that the relationship between me and Anya was completely over.I yearned for a new relationship to fill the void and alleviate the pain in my heart. After all, I was human too, and I too could experience hurt.Although I hurt Anya deeply, Anya hurt me too.However, it was a stupid idea to move on from an old relationship by dating someone new.“Evan think twice.”“I am sorry. What kind of compensation do you want? Just tell me. I will try my best to satisfy you!” I wanted to end this relationship as soon as possible with money.I was not poor.I had nothing but money.I didn’t know how to make up for losses I had caused others than compensating with money.If possible, I was willing to let her cut me.However, these were all unrealistic. The most practical thing was to compensate the other person with enoug
Author’s POV:Anya’s nose was bleeding non-stop and her white hospital gown was dyed red.She had already held on to her for too long.The tense nerves in her brain had already reached their limit. Then, they finally broke.She suffered from served depression, unable to regulate her emotions without the aid of medication.“Anya, Anya!” Kester shouted anxiously and tried to stand up from the wheelchair.Miranda was filled with terror as she swiftly moved forward to assist Anya. “Anya!” she exclaimed with concern.Evan’s POV:Seeing this, my heart jumped to my throat. “Anya, what’s wrong?”As I spoke, I rushed forward and picked Anya up from the wheelchair.“Evan, put her down!” Kester said helplessly, feeling powerless and anxious,I had no time for him. I carried Anya and hurried to the ward.“Doctor, please come quickly. T
Kester’s POV:I called the nurse.Soon, the nurse sent a wheelchair in!Miranda and Kelly helped Anya to the wheelchair.My legs were inconvenient, so I couldn’t help.“I can push Mr. Helsen; you can just need to follow the behind!”“Okay!” I had been in a wheelchair for nearly four months and gradually getting used to it.St Mary was a famous private hospital in X city.The environment here was very good. And all the facilities here were of the highest quality.There was a charming little garden that resembled an art park, featuring meticulously trimmed flowers and plants that were a delight to behold.Miranda pushed Anya around the garden.About ten minutes passed.In the corridor, coincidentally we met Evan.Author’s POV:Martha had been staying in the hospital for the past two days and was about to be discharged that day.Evan natural
Anya’s POV:I had been in the hospital for more than half a month. I had already woken up. I had also passed the critical period.After recuperating for some time, if nothing went wrong, I could be discharged.“Be good, have another sip!” Kester was holding a bowl of chicken soup and persuading me to eat more.“I am full! Kester, you still want to undergo leg rehabilitation treatment. You should hurry up and go back to G city.”He expressed his concern saying, “No, your injuries are quite severe at the moment. I will return once you are recovered!”While the two of us were engrossed in conversation. Miranda pushed the door open and walked in.“Anya, Mr. Walter is here!”His handsome face darkened. He frowned and said, “Why is he here again?”Miranda, not wanting Dad to visit, chimed in, “Do you really want to see him? If you prefer him gone, I will m
Frank’s POV:My second son has been more outstanding than my eldest son. He was smart and good at studying.It seemed that the Walter family’s remaining assets were better left to my second son.“David, when will you come back?”He paused briefly, contemplating the question, “That’s hard to say. If it was a brief, it could be around four to five days. However, if it is a long lifetime frame, it might be extended for one month or two.”I sighed heavily. “Then let’s talk about when you come back.”He looked curious. “What do you want to tell me?”I could not help but scold Harry again. “Sigh, ask your brother. Look what he did.”“Harry?”“He sold the house in S town and the two shops. He squandered them all! When you return, I will divide the property between the two of you. From now on, you will each be responsible for safeguarding your assets. If we don’t do it now, your brother will spend our well sooner or later.”“Oh!” He replied indifferently.He didn’t express any dissatisfaction
Author’s POV:They all died.At this moment, the other four realized what was going on and were shocked.They were pleading with the leader. They didn’t force him to split the money.But he shot.It was the same person who shot Evan just now.“Sometime, this is what happens!” The man with the pig mask slammed the gun on the table.His fierce temperament frightened everyone.“Do you have killed them?”“I told you, we are going to use this money for something grand! As long as you are part of my team, this money will grow exponentially in the future! Cars, houses, and women mean nothing. Don’t fixate on temporary pleasure!” The masked robber’s agitation grew with each word, his tone becoming frightenedly ferocious.Upon hearing this, the four robbers fell silent, refraining from saying anything further.A tall and lean robber suggested, “Well then, let’s stash away all the money for now!”“Boss, do you think Evan will involve the police? Perhaps, we should lay low for a while,” one of t
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
