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
Tina’s POV:After he left, I stomped my feet helplessly, as tears filled in my eyes.“Get in the car, Miss Walter!” The driver said.“I don’t need you to send me!” I shouted at the driver.After saying that, I ran out of the car park angrily.My heart is filled with disappointment and resentment. I didn’t expect him to ask the driver to send me back.I had waited for him the whole afternoon!I didn’t expect him to care so much about my feelings.Feeling angry, I call Paul again.Whenever I felt mistreated by Evan, I always wanted to call Paul to seek comfort from him.Paul was very excited when he received my call and immediately rode his motorcycle over to pick me up.Anya’s POV:At 10:00 p.m., I finished my work.It was already past ten in the evening, and most of the company’s employees had left, leaving only a few programmers working overtime on their coding.My eyes are getting sore. I turned off the computer and prepared to go home.After being tortured by Evan for nearly an hou
Evan’s POV:Before I could finish talking, she took out a stunt baton from her handbag and fiercely poked towards me.However, I reacted quickly and before the stun baton could touch me, I grabbed her hand and knocked it away.“Ah!”Anya was shocked and the stun baton fell to the ground.The guilt I had just felt toward her instantly turned into anger.“Anya, how dare you try to give me a sneak attack again?” I said.As the stun baton fell to the ground she panicked even more and involuntarily retreated.I was furious and approached her with a sinister expression, taking two steps closer to work her.However, she quickly ducked and slipped under my arm before I could react. Then, she gathered all her strength and ran towards the exit of the car park.“Anya… stopped right there!” I said.“Ah… don’t come over…” she said.She was panicking like a frightened prey, desperately trying to escape.Seeing this, I was even more furious and chased after her.Unfortunately, just as she ran about
Nurse’s POV:Evan frowned his brows tightly, and the dessert in his hand slipped from his grasp and fell to the ground.“The patient may have just left,” I replied with a hint of surprise in my eyes.Just a moment ago, I didn’t believe that Mr. Carter came to our hospital, but now I can see it. It is indeed Mr. Carter!He didn’t say anything else. With a cold expression, he turned around and strode away.His back is cold and cool, tall and straight, exuding a strong sense of masculinity. His physique is even better than other male models.The nurses behind me are all infatuated. “Oh my God. It’s really Mr. Carter!”“I can’t believe Mr. Carter come to our hospital! Wow! He is so handsome in person. He beats all the male celebrities!”“By the way, the patient Mr. Carter just sent over seemed to be Miss Walter, right?”“Tsk, tsk, that seems to be the case! I just heard from the attending doctor that Miss Walter’s external injuries are very serious. It’s as if someone has roughly handled
Anya’s POV:I had just stepped into the elevator. But before the elevator door closed, someone had already pressed the button to open the door. The elevator door slowly opened again.Then, Evan walked with a cold expression.He is not wearing a suit today. Instead, he wore a knee-length overcoat with a black shirt underneath. His hair is meticulously combed on his head with a few irregular stands loosely hanging at the ends.He exuded a strong presence with a hint of wickedness. He looked incredibly handsome.However, when I saw him, my heart was filled with anxiety and I subconsciously took two steps back, pressing me against the elevator wall.My heart was beating rapidly. I clenched my fists, ready to defend myself at any moment.Fortunately, he didn’t make things difficult for me and ignored my present as if I were invisible.As the elevator slowly assented, my heart was extremely anxious.The atmosphere
“Call the police then!” he said, sneering.Hearing that, my heart is filled with anger. He knew that I would not dare to call the police.With work being so important now, any negative impact would be a heavy blow to the Walter Group…“Please, Evan, I beg you!” I said, “Can you stop disturbing the order of the Walter Group…”However, before I could finish my sentence he interrupted me. “How did I disturb the company’s order? I have not even pursued the matter of you disrupting the entire market. You still have the cheek to say that I’m disturbing the company’s order. Besides, I’m also a director of the company. Can I not come to the office?”Taking a deep breath, I said, “What are you even doing here in the office? You are not involved in the management. You are here purely for fun!”Hearing that, he raised his eyebrows. “Hey, you’re
Anya’s POV:After speaking, Rose gave me a glance that subtly signaled a message.I understood her message without needing to say anything.The two of us have been working together for a long time, so sometimes we could understand each other’s intentions just by looking at each other’s eyes. In addition, Kester had just called me several times, so I knew right away that he had come.“Alright. got it!” I said, “You may go and receive the client first. I’ll be there in a moment.”“Alright, Miss Walter!” she replied and left respectfully.Evan’s eyelids dropped as he asked, “Who is here?”I didn’t dare to ignore him and reply. “A client! I’m going to meet the client.”He didn’t say anything. He just rolled his eyes and lowered his head to read the newspaper again.Seeing this, I stood up and made my way out of the off
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
