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
Anya’s POV:It is only one in the afternoon. So, there is enough time for the children to play in the park for two to three hours.What’s more, it has been a long time since I had gone out to play with children. So, I decided to take the children out of the trip as I also happened to be free today.“Alright, then go and change your clothes!”“Yah! We’re going to Ocean park!” Jerry and Jason happily run to change their clothes.I also carried Ora and changed her into a beautiful dress and sunhat.Ora was also delighted as she had not gone out for a long time because of her health.After dressing up, Ora sat on the wheeled stretcher. Under the wheeled stretcher were children’s water bottles and some snacks.Her rosy face and big blinking eyes made her look as beautiful as a princess. Besides being unable to stand, she was no different from a normal child.“Let’s go.”“We all went out. Emily is the one who pushed Ora, as I held Jerry and Jason’s hands.Since there was no room in the car,
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,
