Mia’s POV:The stage is filled with flowers at the engagement party. Dressed beautifully, the emcee hosted the engagement party cheerfully.“Welcome, everyone! Today is Mr. Carter and Miss Tina’s engagement party. Congratulations to Mr. Carter and Miss Tina on your engagement. Let’s raise our glasses and wish the couple a happy marriage!”The scene at the party was extremely lively.The guests I invited are celebrities from all walks of life.Grace was also present and personally greeted guests from the business and political circles.As I looked at Evan and Tina on the stage, my heart was filled with excitement.‘Today is finally the engagement party. The next step after the engagement party would be the official wedding!’ the more I think about it the more happy I became.“Congratulations!”“Welcome, thank you for coming!”I couldn’t help smiling.The venue is filled with laughter.Though Evan didn’t look very happy, he still maintained a polite smile on his face in the face of so m
Third person’s POV:At this point, the entire banquet hall instantly fell silent.Although none of them could see the middle-aged woman’s face, they could tell for sure that Anya was drugged at the wedding banquet six years ago and was sent to Evan’s room on purpose.In other words, six years ago, Anya did not take the initiative to enter Evan’s room, and someone had deliberately planned this.Seeing this Mia was so frightened that her face turned pale.She was the one who ordered that person to drug Anya.Originally, she wanted to play a little trick.She wanted to set Anya up and make her a shameless person who tried to seduce her brother-in-law.She wanted to ruin Anya’s reputation and make her lose the right to inherit the Walter Group. However, she didn’t expect that she would mess it up.“Oh my god, this is…”“It turned out that we have misunderstood Miss Walter for all these years!”“That’s right! From the looks of it, Miss Walter has been set up by someone with ill intentions.
Mia’s POV:After we all returned home, Tina ran upstairs and locked the door.She had been crying all the way.Seeing this I became furious. “Look at your daughter. She failed again!”Frank frowned but didn’t say anything.Seeing the cowardly look on his face I was even more upset.“No matter what. I want you to hold a press conference immediately and announce that you are serving your father-daughter relationship with her. She destroyed Tina’s engagement banquet six years ago. Now, she is trying to ruin it again. Tina’s whole life is ruined by her.”He looked at me with a frown. “From the video, Anya was also set up six years ago. I don’t think she did it on purpose. Now, it seems that it’s better to find the person who set her up first.”“She might have made up the whole story. Six years ago, she might have planned it herself! No matter what, it was because of that the marriage between Mr. Carter and Tina was delayed again and again! This time if Tina’s marriage is ruined, I won’t l
Anya’s POV:Jerry stammered and looked at me carefully, “Mommy, we didn’t…”Seeing Jerry’s reaction, my heart skipped a bit. ‘It seemed that these two had really touched my computer!’“Mommy doesn’t like dishonest children. Tell me the truth!”The boys didn’t dare to hide it and said their childish voices. “We did use the computer!”Hearing that I felt a chill down my spine and looked at my two sons in disbelief. “So you really did the sabotage at Mr. Carter’s engagement banquet, didn’t you?”The boys looked at each other and did not dare to speak.“I’m asking you, did you do it?”“Yes, we did did it.”“Why did you do that?” My voice raised.Jerry was so scared that he started crying. “Mommy, don’t be mad at us!”Jason raised his little face and said, “Mommy, it's not Jerry’s fault. I did it. I am the only one who should be punished!”Hearing that I gasped and my eyes darkened. “Why did you do this?”Saying that I could not help but glare at Jason.I was furious and had never got so m
Anya’s POV:The two of them were furious and looked like they were at the edge of fighting each other.Seeing this, my heart sank.“Stop arguing! Calm down. You both…”“Beep!”At this moment, Evan’s phone rang.Since I was standing close to him, I saw that it was a call from Butler, Josh.Josh has always been a stood guy and wouldn’t call him easily unless it was an emergency.Evan frowned and answered the call.The Butler’s urgent voice comes from the other end of the line. “Hello, Mr. Carter, your grandmother is in hospital. Please come over quickly!”“What happened to Grandma?”“She had a sudden cerebral infraction. Come as fast as you can!”“Okay, I will be right there!”After hanging up, Evan hurriedly left.After he left Kester sighed with relief. “Anya, are you alright?”“I’m fine.”“What exactly is Evan trying to do?”I sighed, not knowing what to say.“My head is mess right now. I want to be alone for a while!”“Alright, go back to your room and have a rest!”“Kester, you can
Evan’s POV:After Grandma woke up I accompanied her in the ward.Around ten o’clock, the door of the ward pushed open. I looked in the direction of the door and saw Tina and Mia walking in.“Evan, how is Mrs. Carter?”Seeing these two coming just like that, I frowned. “Why are you here?”Mia walked towards the bed and placed the food basket by the head of the bed. “I just called the Butler and he said that Mrs. Carter is sick, which really scared our entire family! After we heard the news, we immediately come here in a hurry!”“Mrs. Carter how are you?”Mia greeted Grandma with concern and acted like she was her in-law without even an ounce of awkwardness even though I had just run away from the engagement banquet.However, as long as we didn’t announce the annulment of the engagement in public, in the eyes of the outsider we are already engaged.“Grandma had just woken up, and she can’t be agitated. You two should leave now!”“Oh, then, Mrs. Carter have a good rest and get well soon!
Anya’s POV:“Anya, what’s the matter?” he asked.“Speak!” His voice comes from the other end of the line.I pondered briefly and said, “Um, I have already asked Jason and Jerry about the shooting. Jason is unwilling to go, but Jerry is willing to go!”“Oh, that’s great!” Kester said.I still asked for worriedly. “I want to ask again. The shooting won’t take too long, right? Don’t let it interfere with his studies.”“It won’t,” he said. “One day is enough!”“Alright, then!” I replied, “When will be the shoot?”“Next Saturday!” he answered.“Alright”“I will drive to pick him up next Sunday then.” He said, with a smile.“Okay! If there is nothing else, I will hung up first.” I said.“Okay!” Kester said.Usually, I hang up, but today is the first time I didn’t hang up the phone.Then, their flirting and bantering voice came from the other end of the line.Hearing that, I suddenly felt an indescribable emotion.I know there were always women around him, and he was a playboy.Therefore, no
Tina’s POV:After being kept pestering by him frantically, I became worried.“It doesn’t matter if he loves me or not. I love him and that’s enough. Paul if you really love me, stop harassing me! You can’t give me what I want!” I said.He seemed to be in a state of deep despair as he begged me with dissatisfaction. “Tina marriage is a lifetime of happiness. Don’t joke about your own happiness.”However, without waiting for him to finish talking, I interrupted me impatiently. “My happiness is marrying Evan. And I love him too. I’m just fooling around with you. How dare you push your luck and want me to marry you!”“I…”“Don’t call me again if you dare to rule my happiness. I won't forgive you for the rest of your lifeAs soon as I finished speaking, I ended the call.After the call, I felt distressed and decided to go out for a while. However, as soon as I opened the door, I saw my mother eavesdropping outside my room.Seeing this, I became even more angry.“Mom, why are you standing o
Anya’s POV:There is no death penalty in X city.Moreover, Tina had proof of serious mental illness.Therefore, even if she killed someone, the police could only send her to the mental hospital for treatment first. It was very difficult to convict her.Seeing me approaching step by step, the police began to worry about my safety.“Miss Anya Walter, don’t come any closer. If she hurts you, the gain won’t make up for the losses.”“Yes, we invited you here to help us rescue the hostage. We have to make sure you are safe first. We can't put you in danger.”“It’s okay. I will be careful.”At the entrance of the tunnel, Tina waved at me again and urged, “Anya, come here over quickly.”Bodyguard Darcy immediately stopped me, “Miss Walter, you can’t go over there. Who knows if she was up to no good again? She hates you so much, so she is going to
Author’s POV:Tina stayed in the cave and knew that she could not escape no matter what. She had utterly broken down. Tina waved the boning knife in my hand and roared, “Don’t come over! If any of you dare to come closer. I will kill Zachary.”When the butler of the Garcia family heard this, he said urgently, “Mr. Wilson, don’t anger this female kidnapper. She has a mental illness. It won’t be good if she hurts Mr. Garcia. She has a conflict with Mr. Garcia about love. I suggest we break through from these key points!”The police and people from Garcia's family didn’t know that Zachary had been killed and were still trying to calm Tina down.Coupled with the constant pressure from the Garcia family, the police didn’t dare to use violence to save Zachary. They could only negotiate and think that Tina would take the initiative to let Zachary off.After all, most women didn’t kidnap men
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
