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
After being hospitalized for more than a week, Grandma’s condition had stabilized.And today she is going to be discharged from the hospital.“Grandma, be careful!” I said.Even though there were four healthcare workers and two family doctors taking care of Grandma, I didn’t feel at ease. So, I helped her onto the wheelchair.Because of the stroke, Grandma’s speech was a little slurred. “It’s okay. Don’t be nervous!” she said.“I will send you home, Grandma!”“All right,” she replied. “Evan you have been in the hospital for so many days. Work is more important. You should go to the office tomorrow.” She added.“Grandma, I will take care of you for a few more days. Nothing is more important than your health. I will go to the office after you recover completely!” I said.Shaking her head, she said, “I am fine. There are so many people looking after me. You can’t neglect the work in the office!”“Alright then,” I said, “I’ll go to the office tomorrow.”Grandma paused and sighed. Then she
Anya’s POV:“The Beta Group and the Wind Group approached us,” I said, “I can’t just push away business that comes looking to our door, can I?”His lips curled up into a sinister smile, as he looked at me with a gloomy expression.“What do you think you are doing now? Trying to undermine me and my business?”As he spoke, he menacingly walked a few steps closer to me. His tall and burly figure shrouded me in a shadow.Seeing this my heart skipped a beat and I involuntarily took two steps backward. “I don’t know that The Beta group and Wind group plan to sign contract with the Carter Group.” She said“Humph, you don’t know huh?” He said, laughing coldly.I took another step backward and said, “Alright, so if, what if I know? Partnerships means you can cooperate with wherever you want. You cant monopolize the market…”“Anya you have the guts!” He said. “You dumb woman. Do you know the consequences of your action? The consequences of your action will only disrupt the market! Other compani
Anya’s POV:I don’t know how long I have been unconscious.I suddenly woke up from my dream, “Kester… Kester…”“Anya, you are awake?”“Mommy, you are finally awake!”I opened my eyes groggily. What greeted my eyes was Miranda’s anxious expression, as well as Jason and Jerry’s adorable faces.“Jason! Jerry! Why are you here?”“Mommy, you are finally awake. Daddy send us here.”Upon hearing this, I struggled to sit up.“Anya, you are weak now. You must not get up.”Jason said with his tears, “Mommy, what’s wrong?”“Don’t be afraid. Mommy is fine. Where is Flora?”“Flora is sick. Daddy was afraid that there would be germs in the hospital. So, he didn’t let Flora come here.”“Where is Daddy?”“Daddy is waiting d
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
