Anya’s POV:
Even if the Walter Group changed its name, the stench of its tarnished reputation remained. Everyone knew that Walter's group was teetering on the edge of collapse. Who would be foolish enough to step into the role of a sacrificial lamb eagerly?
Mr. White’s face turned grave. “Our only option now is to urgently sell of the portion of our shares to raise the funds. It’s the quickest way to get our hands on the cash. Otherwise, if we can’t gather the funds within a month, Mr. Carter will petition the court to freeze the Walter Group’s assets, leading to even more complications.”
My eyes grew somber. With no other options left, I had no choice but to make a desperate Campbell and take a drastic major.
Although I was reluctant to part with the shares my grandfather had left for me, I knew there was no other way to tackle the imminent crisis.
“Alright then! Let me know that the Walter Group is
Anya’s POV:After Rose exited the room, my phone started ringing.“Hello, Kester!”From the other end of the line, Kester’s tender voice comes through. “I heard the new company had its opening ceremony today. How did it go? Was it successful?”I smiled at Kester’s video on the phone. “Yes, its went smoothly. Thank you, Kester.”“There you go again. We are getting married soon, and you are still formal with me.Feeling a tad self-conscious, I playfully brushed my hair behind my ears. “I have wrapped things up here and made the part. I have already booked my flight for next Monday. I will fly over with you next Monday.”“Isn’t that so soon?”“Not at all.”“Alright then.”“The company just had its grand opening, and things are still hectic. I won’t keep you on the phone too long.”“Okay.”After hanging up the phone, I prepared to meet Brother Trumpet and take the opportunity to discuss the company’s business strategy.Trumpet’s POV:I was busy welcoming the Internet celebrity guests who
I arrived at Central Plaza Station at 9:30 AM the next day, well ahead of time.With the few insulated containers in my hand, I carried the cake and dumplings I had personally made.I couldn’t make up for everything I had done wrong, but I wanted to do what I could do for my children.At precisely 10:00 AM, a chauffeur-driven luxury car pulled up. Followed by a nanny car stopping in front of me.When the door opened, Jason and Jerry hopped out of the car.Shortly after, the nanny emerged, cradling Fora in her arms.“Mommy…” Jason and Jerry called out in their usual murder.I felt a pang in my heart, my eyes welling up with tears. I hurriedly approached my children. “Jason Jerry, Flora, I have missed you so much. Do you miss Mommy?”“Yes!”“Mommy…” The three little ones looked a bit weary as they looked at me.Although, the children still showed happiness, an invisible barrier seemed to have formed.After being separated for such a long time, even the strongest bond could slowly dissip
Anya’s POV:Soon after, the children hopped in the car.As I washed the car zooms away, a wave of melancholy washed over me, causing me to stand there for a while, lost in my emotions.It was evident that the three children had grown increasingly distant from me. If things continued down this path, it would not be long before they completely lost their reliance on me.With these thoughts weighing happily on, I felt an intense pang in my heart.“Just give me little more time, sweethearts. Mommy will bring you back to my side. No matter what happens, Mommy will never keep up on fighting for the custody.”I finally came home and resumed packing my belongings, preparing for my flight to G City the next day.It had been a long time since I spent quality time with Kester. This time I decided to stay there for at least a week.Miranda noticed me packing and hurriedly approached to offer assistance. “Anya, do you need help with these items?”“Miranda, don’t worry. I can handle it myself.”“Al
Anya’s POV:“Hello, Marinda!”From the other end of the line, her voice carried a sense of urgency. “Anya, you forget to grab your passport. Shall I bring you to right away?”I instinctively smacked my forehead upon hearing this. “Oh, gosh, I completely forget.”“Miranda, can you bring it to me in the elevator lobby? I will be waiting for you there.”“Sure thing.”I let out a yawn and stepped out of the car, heading towards the elevator lobby.In a hurry to leave earlier, I had absentmindedly left my passport on the dressing table, forgetting to pack it into my bag.The car’s gauge in needles began their countdown.After I stepped out of the car, I slowly walked approximately 90 to 120 feet, when suddenly a loud and ear-shattering explosion echoed behind me with a resounding “boom!”The blast from the exploding bomb sent car glass fragments flying through the air, accompanied by an intense wave of heat that violently propelled me off the ground.“Boom.”I instinctively lunged forward,
Evan’s POV:My heart sank and a wave of unease washed over.“Where can I find Anya? Which floor is she on?”“She is in the operating room of the third floor…”I was already sprinting towards the third floor, without waiting for to nurse to finish her sentence.I raced up to the third floor, gasping for breath.At the operating room entrance, Miranda anxiously scanned the area, her face was filled with fear.Upon seeing Miranda, my despair intensified.“Miranda, where is Anya?”She turned around and immediately burst into tears. “Mr. Carter, she is still in the operating room.”My eyes widened, and I felt a wave of dizziness.“Anya, you have to wake up. Please wake up.”The surgery stretched out for two hours.Finally, the operating room door swung open, and the doctor emerged.Miranda and I hurriedly approached. “Doctor, how is the patient?”The doctor’s expression turned solemn. “The patient suffered severe injuries from the explosion, particularly to the back. There is a possibility
Kester’s POV:“Boom!”My heart sank a wave of unease washing over me. My eyebrows twitched involuntarily. “What had happened Anya?”“Anya has been involved in the car accident, and she is currently undergoing a critical treatment of the hospital!” Miranda’s voice trembled with emotion.My mind went blank, a chilling emptiness settling with me. I felt as though I had been plunged into the icy abyss.“What’s going on? What happened to Anya?”Anya was getting ready to head to the airport this morning, but little did she know, there was a bomb planted in the car. Anya has been critically injured in the explosion and undergoing life-saving treatment…”“What?” I gasped, feeling a chill drown my spine. My mind was buzzing with disbelief.“How is Anya now? What is her condition?”“Mr. Helsen, Anya is currently in the hospital undergoing treatment. She just underwent surgery, but she has yet to regain consciousness!”“The doctor said, Ania is in critical condition and nearly closing monitor in
Evan’s POV:My face contorted with anger as I furrowed my brow.But for now, Anya was still in grave danger, and it wasn’t time to dwell on those matters.The most crucial thing was to save Anya’s life.“Anya, you have to wake up!”Through the transparent barrier of the intensive care unit, I gazed at Anya’s motionless form, connected to a myriad of tubes and monitors.It had been day and night, yet there was no sign of regaining consciousness.The following day, guided by a nurse, Kester hurriedly approached the hospital ward.At the ward’s entrance, Kester and I locked gazes, the air thick with intense hatred, as if bitter rivals meeting after a long absence.“Evan, did you do this to Anya? Tell me the truth, was it you?”“Are you insane? Do you think I would stoop so low as to harm Anya? You truly lost your mind!”“It has to be you. No one else could have done this.”I coldly avoided Kester, his gaze piercing through me. The weight of worry and concern for Anya had left no room for
Frank’s POV:Harry, on the other hand, was very overjoyed. “God is fair! That bitch deserves the punishment. God, please let her die as soon as possible! As long as she dies, the Walter Group’s shares will be returned to Walter family. We will take our things back! God, please take that damn bitch away right now.”I could not take it anymore. “No matter what, she is your sister.”Harry sneered, “She is not my sister. She is our enemy. Dad, didn’t you want her die in the past? Justice from God. She was injured in the explosion because God could not stand anymore and punished in this way.”I let out a long sigh.Looking at me, Harry was a little unhappy. “Dad, why are you sad for her? Think about how she treated us. If it weren’t for her, our family would not have been turned to out like this. It would be good things if she died.”A hint of gloat flashed across Harry’s eyes as he spoke, “Dad, according to the law, as her immediate family, you have the right to net her property after dea
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
Jenny’s POV:Evan waved his hand to stop his bodyguard from approaching.“What do you want? I will give you five minutes. Tell me now.”My eyes turned red as tears flowed uncontrollably, “Evan, I will ask even one last time. Are you not going to give me a chance?”Evan frowned, “Jenny, I have told you many times that we are not compatible. Even if you ask me a hundred times, I will give the same answer!”“Evan, I don’t understand what is so good about Anya? A bitch like her has cheated on you so many times. Don’t you mind at all? Don’t feel disgusted. I look down upon you. I truly despise you…”Before I could finish, Evan’s expression suddenly changed. He said coldly, “Miss Garcia, this is my last warning. You can scold me however you want, but if you dare to slander Anya again, I won’t be courteous to you anymore.”I was so angry that my heart was about to explode. “Evan, did I say something wrong? You didn’t mind at all about Kester and her? You don’t mind that she is fooling around
