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
Evan’s POV:After leaving the Walter Group, I got in the car, ready to go back to the Carter Group.In the car, I lit my cigarette, completely expressionless.To be honest, the losses of these two deals by the Carter Group were not a matter of concern.Instead, the fact that she had disrupted the market was a matter of concern.Once news of this matter spread, it was bound to trigger a bigger butterfly effect.Therefore, I decided to take action to stop it in time. I could not tolerate such a market-disrupting behavior.However, when I recall the scene earlier, I felt a little regretful.‘I should not have treated her so cruelly!’ I thought.Unfortunately, this damn woman also had a stubborn tamper. From beginning to end, she refused to give in.I would have been kinder to her if she begged me.“Mr. Carter, how do you plan to resolve the issue with the Beta Group and the Wind Group?”I thought for a moment and raised my eyebrows slightly. Then I sneered and said, “Since this Wind grou
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
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
