Anya’s POV:
“This is the ladies room. You are in the wrong place.” I said coldly, continuing to wash the blood off my hands.
However, instead of leaving, Evan scoffed and turned on the tap to wash his hands.
“I have underestimated you. I thought you were infatuated! But I didn’t expect you to find a new customer so quickly.”
Hearing that my eyes filled with anger, however, I didn’t say anything as I didn’t want to continue this conversation anymore.
I shook the water off my hand and walked straight.
However, before I could reach the door, Evan grabbed my arm at once and violently pinned me against the wall.
“Who is the father of your kids? When did you hook up with Kester Helsen?”
Hearing his arrogant words, I couldn’t help to sneer. ‘We have already divorced for so many years? How dare he ask questions from me? Did he still believe that I am obliged to obey him?’
I tried to break free from his grasp, but he was too strong for me. At last, I glared at him and said coldly, “Mr. Cater, please behave yourself. If you want to talk about work, then please wait in the office. And if you want to talk about the personal matter, then I am sorry, I have nothing to say to you.”
Evan curled up his lips in a sullen smile, as he leaned closer and closer to me.
Seeing that, I couldn’t help but frown, my heart beating nervously!
Back then, Evan had complete dominance and control over me. Even though I had already away from him for so many years, I was still had been deeply traumatized by him.
The nerve on my body still retained the fair of him.
“Let me go of Evan! This is a place where I work! Don’t you dare…”
However, before I could finish my sentence, he cut me off!
“What are you afraid off? Are afraid that they might call you a slut for seducing your ex-husband in the washroom?”
“Are you insane? I am warning you. Show me respect!”
“A slut like you deserve no respect at all!”
“Evan Cater, don’t go to far!”
Saying that, I struggled violently, in an attempt to break free from him.
However, it had no use.
Evan was pinning my arms to the wall, making it impossible for me to struggle! What’s more, his aura was so oppressive that it made it difficult for me to breathe.
“Don’t you love it when I do such a things to you? Ha, I didn’t expect even after four years, you still didn’t stop pretending to be innocent!”
As he said, he took off my black-rimmed glasses and looked into my eyes with a wicked smile.
“It’s exactly that look on your face! I bet, Kester loves it, too, doesn’t he?”
At that moment I was completely flustered and shouted, “You Bastard! What are you doing. Stop it…”
However, Evan didn’t stop, instead, he grinned in satisfaction, as if my panicking expression made him happy.
Suddenly, the images of when we were still married flashed in my mind like a movie…
He was just like that. Every time he was in a mad mood or felt irritated, he liked to punish me with his most overbearing and aggressive method whenever we were in bed.
And seeing him like this, it seemed that even after four years, he still hadn’t changed at all.
“What? Are you afraid of being seen? Are you afraid that after Kester know that he might dump you, right? Just cut it off, Anya Walter! I am sick of your dirty schemes.”
I was furious. “Then tell me Mr. Cater, what my schemes could possibly be?” I sneered coldly.
“Didn’t we agreed while getting divorced that you will leave the X city forever and never come back! Why did you break the deal? To make me sick on purpose?” Evan said, raising my brows, with the murderous look on his face.
“I came back for my grandfather’s inheritance, it has nothing to with you. I said, behave yourself and show me some respect! Let go of me!”
“And I have also told you that a woman like you, didn’t deserve any respect, haven’t I?” Evan sneered, his big hand running over my body.
“Evan, we are divorced! What’s more, I don’t owe you anything. So, don’t disrespect me like this! Get your hands off me, or I will sue you for molestation!”
“Ha! You, sue me? Don’t make me laugh! Have you forgotten how you have drugged me and begged me to have a sex with you. It’s only been four years, how can you forget that?”
“For the last time, I didn’t drug anyone, especially you! I am the victim here, not you!”
“Ha! Just keep your lies to yourself, I am not interested in them!”
I took a deep breath and calmed myself down. Then, I looked into his eyes and said, “Fine, believe whatever you want to believe! I have figured it out just now that there are many men out there who are so much better than you! Let me tell you, divorcing you is the best thing ever happened to me.”
Evan’s POV:
Hearing Anya’s words, my face turned dark and I was completely pissed off.
The thing that bothered me was not that she came back, but that she came back with her sons with another man! Even though we have been divorced for so long, I don’t know why I still feel cheated or even betrayed.
I can stop loving or abandoning anyone, anything at any time! But I just can’t accept the fact that my toy was taken away by someone else!
As I saw the happy smile on Anya’s face, I felt irritated. Thus, I lowered my head and kissed her furiously.
I wanted to let her know what is the consequence of irritating me.
“Mm… get your hands off…” Anya struggled.
Suddenly, I let her go. Looking at her mockingly, I sneered, “Do you think that I will touch you again? Don’t flatter yourself! I won’t have sex with a whore who has been sleeping with the others. It disgusts me.”
After I finished speaking, I let go of her resentfully and walked out.
However, before I reached at the door, Anya’s angry voice come from behind me.
“Evan Cater, Stop!”
Evan’s POV:“What? Are you gonna throw yourself in my…”I turned around in disdain, only to see a furious Anya pouncing on me with her high heels in her hands like a lion cub.Before I knew what had happened, I had been hit more than a dozen times.“Why are you always so mean to me? What do I owe you? Huh? Why are you always so arrogant and full of shit!”Anya cursed as she continued to hit me! However, I was so stunned that I almost forgot to fight back. I just stood there straight and took the hit.The Anya I know had always been as timid as a lamb. She didn’t even dare to speak loudly, let alone hit anyone with her shoes.But now, she was striking me with her high heels, which was simply unreal and surprising for me.She didn’t look like the same weak, and cowardly Anya she used to be.Instead, she looked like a powerful woman! 'If anyone messed with her, she would not let him go!'After I regained my composure, I looked at her and yelled, “Stop that, woman! Don’t force me to fight
Mr. Paul POV:As I looked at the reports in my hand, I couldn’t help but get shocked.Anya is the vice president of JK Technologies… How can this be possible?“I was vice-president of JK technologies in charge of domestic operations. Here are the financial statement for the last three years. I think you all must have heard that JK’s profit in this region have increased in last few years.”As I was lost deep in my thoughts, Anya’s voice pulled my thoughts back to reality.Hearing her words, everyone in the meeting room had the same expression, shock!After all, JK Technologies was too well-known in the whole world to ignore any information about it. And to be the vice-president of JK technologies at such a young age, luck was required, but it was not gonna happen without abilities.“Wait, a minute! You can’t be the famous Miss Walter of JK Technologies, can you?” I could not help but ask in shock.Anya smiled confidently at me and replied, “Yes, that’s me.”As soon as she finished spea
Anya’s POV:I had never spent a penny of my father’s money ever since I was a kid, nor felt any father in love from him. What’s more, I only returned to X city at the age of 12 after my mother died.“Anya, did I hear it right? You are going to kick me, your father, out?”I looked at him coldly. “I am not kicking you out. It’s that you are not fit to be in the Walter Group anymore!”Nowadays, the Walter Group is crammed with Mia’s all kinds of relatives. These people all came here to slack off. The Walter Group would go down sooner or later if I didn’t get rid of them.“Good, very good! What a dutiful daughter! What a misfortune for my family! I have raised you for nothing. How could I have given birth to… to such an ungrateful person like you!” My father said as he pounded the desk angrily.“Dad, for so many years, you have never really raised me. I have never spent a penny of your money. So please don’t say that you raised me or anything like that ever again.” I said coldly.My words
Anya’s POV:Looking at my two little angels, the anger I felt before all flew away.“Mommy is still in the meeting. You need to go home. After the meeting, I will go back with you, okay?” I said, smiling at them.Jerry stuck his hands into his pockets, his face was extremely serious. “Mommy, Jason and I are worried that you might be bullied. We are going to stay here and protect you!” he said.Hearing this, I couldn’t help smiling. “My dear, boys, thank you. But Mommy needs to finish the meeting first and you will distract Mommy by staying here!”“Well… sure! You go to the meeting first Mommy, and we will wait for you here. I will take care of Jason and not make any trouble!” Jerry said.“Yeah, we are not going anywhere, Mommy!” Jason also nodded.Seeing them, I couldn’t feel warm in my heart. They are about the same age, but both of them have different personalities. Jerry is unusually intelligent. On the other hand, Jason is harp-witted and very good at observing people.“No one bul
Anya’s POV:As I looked at Evan's calm face, I wanted to slap him hard in the face!As I was cursing Evan in my heart, my father’s impatience voice fell into my ear.“Anya, if you sign in, I will let you be the chairman. However, I must warn you that I don’t think you can fulfil that promise. By then, you will lose everything and bring more shame to the whole Walter family. Then that time comes. I will cut off from you as well. Of course, if you give up the shares right now, you will still my beloved daughter. And as your father, I will certainly treat you well!”It would not need to be genius to know what he was implying.He was threatening me, that if I was determined to replace him, then he would cut off the father-daughter relationship between us.Suddenly, I felt a chill rising in my heart for no reason!First, it was the obstruction from my ex-husband, and now my father started morally blackmailing me as well.This is certainly a tough moment!“Fine. I will sign it.However, I ha
Mia’s POV:After getting rid of the security guards, I chased after Anya. However, as soon as I came out, I was surrounded by the reporters at once.“Mrs, Walter, can you tell us what has happened?” one of the reporters asked.Seeing the reporters, I took a deep breath as I didn’t want to ruin my fair lady image in front of the public. Then I said, “What happened is that we, Walter have raised an ungrateful girl who has turned her back on us today! She has no mercy even for her father!”“Mrs. Walter, what do you think of Anya’s relationship with Mr. Helsen?”“Rumors has it that Anya’s bought into Shining Star Media. Is it true?”“It’s her private business. You should ask her.” I said with a dark face as I was not in the mood for an interview. “Stealing men from other women and taking away properties from others. That kind of thing happens a lot. However, you need to see through all these. The Helsen family is a very respectable one. Will they allow a woman like that, to marry their fa
Anya’s POV:At the seven-star hotel.After leaving the Walter Group, I returned to the hotel, feeling exhausted.I had booked a suite here and had already paid for months. I also hired three nannies to look after the children.It was not that I could not afford a house. However, at that moment, the convenience of the hotel was more important to me!“Mommy, you are back?”As soon as I opened the door, the two little fellows ran toward me.“Yeah, Mommy is back!” I bent down to stroke my son’s head first then changed my slippers.“And Ora, how is she?”“Ora has just woken up!”“Okay, Mommy is going to check on her first, alright?”Then, I changed my clothes, washed my face and hands, disinfected myself, and went to my daughter’s room.“Ora, Mommy’s home!”“Mommy!”The little girl was lying on her bed. As soon as she saw me, a bright smile appeared on her skinny face.Ora had been hurt by a congenital heart defect and hemolytic anemia ever since she was born. The hemamebas in her body wer
Anya’s POV:Buzz… buzz…As I was sleeping, my phone suddenly rang.I picked up my phone on the bedside table. It was Kester!“Jester? What are you calling me for this hour?”On the other end, the line Kester’s worried voice replied, “Anya, have you seen the news?”“What news?” I rubbed my eyes, confused.“Check on your cellphone and read the entertainment news!”Hearing that my heart skipped a beat as I had a very bad feeling about this.I still remember how badly I had been roasted six years ago. Back then, I was still that innocent girl, and even thought about jumping off the roof to end my life. I prayed that it would not happen to me ever again.I shivered and unlocked my phone. And in an instant, more than five notifications popped up. And they were all about me.“After hooking up with her brother-in-law and getting kicked out, Anya Walter has moved to her next victim!”“The former lady of X city fell out with her family for inheritance. Her father was kicked out of the board, an
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,
