Anya’s POV:As I neared the port, I heard my phone ringing, causing my heart to sink even further.Without even looking at the caller ID, I knew it was Evan calling.That was precisely why I didn’t dare to answer.If Evan discovered that I was going to visit Kester, he would undoubtedly be furious.My heart raced, but I mustered the courage and answered, “Hello…”Evan’s voice on the other end carried an urgent and worried tone. “Anya, where are you? We are about to board the plane. Why have not you returned yet?”“I…” I hesitated, struggling to find the right words.“What’s going on? Tell me where are you? I will come find you.” He said anxiously.After a brief silence, I plucked up my courage and confessed, “Evan, I have a pressing matter that needs to be done right away. You and Flora go to G city. I will join you tomorrow.”“Anya, where exactly are you now? What has happened? What’s it that’s even more important than our daughter?”I took a deep breath, striving to convey my messag
Anya’s POV:As I continued to pray fervently, an elderly man in his sixties entered the room.He had a distinguished presence and commanded respect as he walked in,The people waiting outside the operating room greeted him with a deference, “Mr. Helsen.”Upon hearing their greeting, I instinctively looked up.It was Kester’s father, Tim Helsen, a renowned figure in the gambling industry in the V city.“Mr. Helsen…”Although Tim and I had never met before, we seemed to know each other very well.After all, our names had frequently graced the headlines, making them well-acquainted, if only indirectly.“So, you are Anya Walter?” Tim assessed me, his tone devoid of any detectable emotion or hint of anger.“Yes, it's me!” I replied, my heart skipping a beat unconsciously.Orvin promptly stepped forward to introduce, “This is Mr. Kester’s father, Mr. Tim. This is Miss Walter, the chairman of the Walter Group.”“Nice to meet you, Mr. Tim!”Tim adjusted his glasses, his demeanor calm and comp
Tim’s POV:In the parking lot, Grace( Kester’s sister) wore an annoyed disdainful expression. “Dad, is this woman Kester’s girlfriend? I heard she was previously married and had three children. The second-hand woman isn’t worthy of Kester.”I tightened my lips slightly. “As long as Kester likes her, nothing else matters.”“But this woman’s ex-husband is Evan! I heard she still is entangled with him, and not long ago, she and her sister were fighting over a man, causing quite a stir! And now all of a sudden, she is with Kester again! Such an improper woman is simply not suitable for Kester!”“Heh…” I smiled meaningfully, choosing not to say more.To be honest, I was not a conservative narrow-minded tycoon myself. I had lived a libertine life, siring no fewer than eight children with various women.So, when it comes to relationships, I took a more liberated view. As long as this was what my son wanted, I would support his pursuit.After all, I believe that a man could never be faithful
Anya's POV:I was startled, realizing that Evan had issued instructions to resist my access to the premises.Thankfully, I had not transported s significant amount of my belongings to the villa, and I had yet to terminate my previous lease agreement.“Has Evan returned?” I inquired, hoping to glean some information from the guard.Shaking his head, the guard responded, “I don’t know.”“Alright, then. I would like to get in to gather my belongings. There should be permissible, correct?”Outside the imposing entrance, a stern-faced security guard denied my entry. “Miss Walter, please wait until Mr. Carter returned and grants you the permission, and then you may pack a belongings.”“We are unable to grant you access at that moment, madam!”“Hmm, fine then!” I sneered and turned away.Fortunately, I hadn’t easily fallen for Evan’s charm and her no illusion about him. Being kicked out of the house didn’t leave me too disheartened.I would simply move out, after all, I no longer wanted his
Evan’s POV:I disembarked from the plane, holding my daughter, with assistants and bodyguards following closely behind.The treatment plan for Flora’s leg had been finalized during our trip to G city.The ailment could be cured, but her current physical condition was too bad for that, and she had undergone multiple surgeries, which had taken a toll on her body.Now, she needed treatment and would have to wait until she turned five. By then, her bones would be stronger, and corrective surgery would be performed.Afterward, she would undergo rehabilitation therapy! Approximately three sessions could be enough to fully recover.Flora was now four and a half years old, so in about six months, she would be ready for corrective surgery.“Evan…”Hearing my name, I looked up and saw Anya on the other side of the barrier!In an instant, however, my face darkened, and my handsome and imposing face was filled with frost.I hurried forward, to my long legs, taking large strides, with bodyguards f
Anya’s POV:“Flora!” I looked at my daughter and wanted to hug her.However, Evan didn’t give me any chance to cuddle my daughter at all, and slammed the car door shut directly!Bang! Bang! Bang! I pounded on the car door angrily!“Wait a minute. You have to let me take back my luggage and the car!”Evan rolled down the window and looked at me coldly, “Don’t worry, I don’t want any blue belongings. I have someone pat up and send them back to your company.”With that, he closed the door window and ordered the driver to leave.I watched as the car drove away.I was filled with anger and frustration, but I knew Evan was difficult to get along with.However, this was also good. Being completely separate from me was not a bad thing.I angrily hailed a taxi and returned home.Evan’s POV:In the car, I let out a few rough breaths, but my anger still couldn’t be suppressed.Flora continued to sob softly. “Mommy, Mommy…”“Stop crying. She is not your Mommy anymore!”“Daddy, please don’t be ang
Anya’s POV:Around one in the afternoon.Knock! Knock! Knock!I was in my office dealing with my work at my hand when the sound of knocking on the door echoed.“Come in.”Rose pushed the door open and walked in. “Miss Walter, Coral is here.”I was surprised.“What’s the matter?”“He said he is here to deliver your luggage and the car.”Upon hearing this, I couldn’t speak a word and my face instantly turned pale.Heh.Evan was indeed ruthless, sending someone to deliver my things to my office.He was telling everyone that he dumped me and kicked me out.“Alright, I got it.”I spoke and went downstairs to meet Coral personally!Seeing me approaching, Coral forced a smile. “Miss Walter. Here is your car key and your items are already in the suitcase. I have placed the trunk for you. You can check to see if anything missing.”My face darkened, “Hmm, I got it.”“Well, then I leave now.”Coral, who usually acted prudently, was stumbling and uneasy today.“Sure.”After Coral left, the employ
Anya’s POV:I was busy until late at night, and it was already past eleven when I finally returned home.When I got home, I was completely exhausted.I had been busy at the company all day and had to figure out how to deal with the issue at the factory in M city. It was overwhelming to me.“Anya, you are back!” Miranda quickly took over my bag.“Yeah!” I replied wearily.Then, I took off my clothes and went to the bathroom to take a shower.After that, I went straight to bed to sleep.“Anya, aren’t you going to eat something?”“I have already ate at the office. I am too tired now!”Seeing how exhausted I was, Miranda said with concern, “I see. Rest well, then.”“Good night!”Miranda turned off the light in the room and gently closed the door.The next day news of Evan and my breakup spread like wildfire.The Internet was buzzing with discussion and various true or false rumors were flying around.(Rumored have broken up, Mr. Carter and Miss Walter leaving separately.)(Love turned sou
Anya’s POV:I thought it over seriously for a night and decided to abort the child with pills.The hospital was not an option for me right now. Besides, there were laws against abortion.Soon, I put on a disguise and made my way to a private clinic.“Hello, what can I help you with?”“Do you have an abortion pill?”“No, no.” The doctor refused, repeatedly, sizing me up suspiciously.“Please help me, doctor! I need the abortion medicine. How much is it? Just tell me. I know you must have it here.” I took out $200 from my pocket.The small clinics certainly had abortion drugs and private abortion services.However, to avoid being investigated by the police, they never sold them openly.“Uh… You have to think about it carefully. Do you want the abortion medicine?”“Yes, please help me!” I was wearing a cap, a large mask, and s
Evan’s POV:My chest heaved violently as I digested Kester’s words. My face twisted in a murderous rage.Judging from Kester’s tone, he was probably telling the truth. Anya had not come to look for him. This made me even more worried.If she encountered bad people, the consequences would be more unimaginable.Soon, night fell.I returned home and rushed to the second floor.After looking at the safe, I was even more anxious.“Mr. Carter, we still haven’t found her…”The bodyguards had searched for an entire day, but they still couldn’t find Anya.They had no choice but to return and report their failure to me. “Mr. Carter, the bodyguard team faces constrains in our abilities. Perhaps, we should call the police instead.”When I heard this, the corner of my lips twitched. “Call the police? Is there something wrong with your worthless brains?”
Evan’s POV:Soon, all the nurses and bodyguards of the Carter family had joined to search for Anya.“Anya… Anya…” My eyes were bloodshot as I punched the bed frame.I knew Anya had not forgiven me.No wonder she had been behaving like a docile lamb. As it turned out, she had been planning her great escape the whole time.She deliberately pretended to reconcile with me, so I would let my guard down.No wonder she acted as though she had forgotten about the past. She was already making plans to flee.“I will give you two hours to find Anya. If you can’t find her, you'll get lost.”“Got it. Mr Carter!”Gael was calling again.I answered the call, feeling slightly frustrated, “What is it?”“Mr. Carter, bad news. I just checked the safe. Miss Anya’s document and passport are missing.”When I heard this. I felt wave
Author’s POV:The next day, servants and nurses finally woke up feeling exceptionally dizzy.Alan patted her head groggily and couldn’t help but complain, “Gosh, the wine was way too strong. Did everyone fall asleep?”The nurses and servants were responsible for Anya and usually took it in shifts at night. However, all four of them had fallen asleep last night.Alan subconsciously looked at the bed, only to find that Anya was already gone.Immediately, she panicked and shook her colleagues awake. “Where is Miss Anya?”“Oh my God! Madam is gone!”“Stop sleeping! Wake up! Something big has happened. Madam is missing.”The other three also got up in a daze.Looking at the empty bed, their heart skipped a beat. Instantly, they no longer felt sleepy.“What happened to Miss Anya?”“Miss Anya is missing! Hurry up and look for her!”
Anya’s POV:My face darkened. I subconsciously held my belly. A hint of hatred appeared in my eyes.“You should say that he is the lucky one!”“Yes, that’s right. You and Mr. Carter are the luckiest people on this earth!”I pursed my lips. I was not interested in feigning civility with these people.Without waiting for the birthday party to end, I said to Evan, “I am tired. I am going back to my room to rest!”“Alright, I will send you back to your room!”“There is no need. You can stay and entertain the guests. I will get servants to send me back to my room!”“That works too!”Then the servant pushed me away.I could only say that I was extremely disappointed in Evan. At the same time, I hated him for being violent and selfish.In the face of absolute power, I could not take revenge on him. But now I suddenly thought of a w
Anya’s POV:Because I had triplets, it was an especially difficult pregnancy for me. I almost lost my life twice.When I was seven months into the pregnancy, some complications happened and I had no choice but to undergo or C-section.When Evan heard this, a hint of heartache appeared on his face. He said gently, “I am sorry. I couldn’t take care of you and the children back then.”“I will make sure to support you for this pregnancy!”When I heard this, my pupils contracted, and I looked elsewhere.At that time, I felt too lonely, so I decided to give birth.Now I already have three children. I wouldn’t give him another child.If I were able to leave successfully, I would go to the hospital to get an abortion.Since Evan wanted this child so much, I would not let him have his way. I also wanted him to have a taste of heartache.“Mommy, is so great!”“That’s right! You must be filial to your mother when you grow up. Don’t make her angry, understand?”“Yes, we understand!”Evan immediat
Anya’s POV:Although the City hospital was good, the Avery Women’s Hospital is a high-end maternity and children's Care Hospital. It specializes in taking care of pregnant women and infants.All the rich wives and celebrities in X city like to give birth there.“Oh, okay. I listen to you.” I said perfunctorily.I would go along with whatever Evan said now. Evan could do whatever he wanted.I had already made up my mind that I would not give birth to this child.And I most certainly would not get together with Evan.I had already secretly called Michael in the meantime, and asked him to deal with the factory in M city.At the same time, I called Brother Trumpet and said that I wanted to quit the media group.Now, I would take advantage of the time to raise as much cash as I could. The more the better.When my calf was healed, I would find a suitable time to leave Evan.“Why aren't you saying anything? Why are you acting strangely recently?”“Not at all!”Evan’s POV:I frowned. I still
Mark’s POV:I bought a few security guards and went straight to Miss Linken’s office.With a dark expression, I told Miss Linken about Evan’s decision.When Miss Linken heard this, she thought she had heard wrongly and was shocked. “What? Mr. Carter froze my shares and dividends? What’s going on?”I pulled a long face and said sternly, “Miss Linken, you violated the company’s rules. The company is now conducting a full investigation.”When Miss Linken heard this, she was even more enraged. “Are you kidding me? I am a director of the company.”“Your shares had been acquired by the company. You are no longer a shareholder of the Carter Group.”Miss Linken’s POV:I was completely dumbfounded when I heard this.I felt like a lightning bolt out of the blue. I was thunderstruck. It took a long time before I returned to my senses for a long time.“Are you kidding me? I have worked for the Carter Group for more than 30 years. I have been conscientious and willing to do anything.”“You are wro
Evan’s POV:I had returned to the midst of Miss Linken’s speech.I had left my proposal on the conference table.When he returned to retrieve it, I heard Miss Linken’s sarcastic remarks.This time, I was completely furious.When Miss Linken saw me, she also looked embarrassed. “Mr. Carter, why are you back again?”My eyes darkened. I ignored Miss Linken and took out a proposal lying on the conference table, leaving.In the past, I had always been polite to her because she was the older and senior member of the company. However, some people took advantage of their seniority and gossiped about me behind my back.More importantly, Miss Linken dared to criticize Anya.Miss Linken’s POV:After Evan left, Mr. Smith was somber, “I told you not to say much, but you don’t listen. Now you are in trouble.”My nostrils flared, and I adjusted my glasses. A trace of disdain appeared on my well-mannered face. “I am telling the truth. Anya might not be pregnant with Mr. Carter’s child. She is allowed
