Marlowe’s POV:As I watched, Anya’s car driving away, an eerie smile appeared at the corner of my eyes.My assistant joked, “President Yanice, I heard that Evan still love his ex-wife and wanted to remarry her. But for some reason, she has been rejected him.”My eyebrows raised even higher when I heard that. “Hey, I didn’t expect Evan to be such a pony. He wants to go back with his ex.”When I was in prison, Evan and Anya had not been married yet.Unexpectedly, after my release, they had broken up and reconciled several times.“Yeah, his daughter has leukemia, and he donated bone marrow to her. I heard he is going to donate again.”“Interesting! Neither have I expected Evan to be such a loving father,” I sneered coldly and my pupils flashed with a wicked light. “Evan, I am going to take everything from you. Anything you like, I will snatch away. Even if I can’t snatch it, I will destroy it all.”Anya’s POV:At noon, I hurriedly arrived at the hospital.“Flora, Mommy is here.”“Mommy,
Evan’s POV:Just as I was feeling emotional, my phone vibrated in my pocket.I took out my phone and saw that it was from Zachary.“I will go out to take the call!”“Alright, go ahead!” Anya replied casually.I took the call and left the ward.“Hello, Zachary, what’s up?”On the other end of the line, Zachary chuckled, “Ah, Evan, what’s been going on lately? I have been calling you, but you never answered.”“Oh, is there something going on? I have been busy lately!”“Yeah, you are so busy, its not easy to reach you these days.” Zachary teased over the phone.“What’s the matter? Just spill it!”Zachary changed his teasing tone and asked with concern. “I heard that your daughter is sick. Is she getting better now?”“She is still undergoing treatment.”“Well, don’t worry. With the medical advancements nowadays, she will certainly be better.”I furrowed my brows, “I hope so.”By the way, I know a pediatric expert who specializes in treating leukemia. Do you want me to introduce you to him
Evan’s POV:The two of us exchanged teasing remarks with each other.Suddenly, Zachary changed the subject, pretending to be nonchalant, and asked, “By the way, I heard that you are close to several officials in M city. It was quite difficult to get approval for the Green Bay project, but you managed to do it. I guess these officials help you a lot behind the scenes. Can you introduce me to them? Give me some pointers.”I paused for a moment and said, “With such a wide network you have, do you still want me to introduce you?”“I am telling you seriously. I am planning to invest in project in M city and the approval documents may be difficult to get. That’s why I came here specially to learn from you.” He said with a slightly guilty look in his eyes.“You don’t have to worry. Once the project is approved, I will give you a 10% stake.”As I heard it, I furrowed my brows. Deeming that Zachary was acting strange today.Although we had been good friends since childhood and had always been
Evan’s POV:As I listened, a chilling sensation ran down my spine.“Would you do the same to me?” I asked.“How come? As long as you remain faithful to me, I will faithfully stand by your side.” She replied, adopting a coquettish expression.“By the way, I have already spoken to the Vice President of Yanice Group, and he is eager to collaborate with you.”She continued, “Once Yanice Group and Garcia Group join forces. We can surely bring Evan down from his high pedestal. Then, we can claim a piece of Carter Group’s empire for ourselves.”“Don’t worry, everything is set up, and we are just waiting for Evan to fall into our trap.” She added, a sinister smile gracing her lips.I listened, but deep down, something felt amiss.Evan and I had grown up together and harbored no grudges.My actions now were purely driven by envy.Evan had always outshone me, excelling in every aspect since our youth. And we had been compared to each other.I had lived my life in the shadow of shining Evan. “Ho
Jenny’s POV:Upon learning that Zachary was with Tina, I looked at him with disdain. “Zachary, have you lost your mind? You got involved with that woman Tina?”Zachary gave a faint smile, “What’s the problem? Is it against the law?”“Hmph, Zachary, you know about her shady past, don’t you?” I can see that your taste is deteriorating,” I remarked.“She’s been with so many men, and you are not disgusted.” I continued.Zachary frowned, displeased, “Jenny don’t talk'll offer anymore. If you dare, there will be consequences.”My eyes widened. I had never seen Zachary so protective of women before.“Zachary, are you falling in love with her?” I asked.He shrugged indifferently, “That’s my business. I don’t need to explain myself to you.”“Zachary, she can’t have children. Her uterus has been removed. Furthermore, she has spent time in a mental hospital.” I revealed.“Dad and Grandpa will never accept her into our family. Please don’t play with fire…”Zachary replied impatiently, “Enough, st
Anya’s POV:After the song concluded, Jason and Jerry catching a large bouquet of sunflowers, presented it to their little sister. “Flora, Happy Birthday!”Flora beamed, sweetly replying, “Thank you! Happy Birthday to you too, Jason and Jerry!”I smiled, presenting the careful, prepared gifts one by one to my children. “These are gifts Mommy prepared for you.”“Thank you, Mommy.”Flora received her favorite Barbie doll, while Jason and Jerry were thrilled to receive transformers and Iron Man action figures.As the three were only small kids, the gifts for them were not extravagantly expensive items, but they contained deep affection.Once the three little ones received their gift from me, they turned their expectant eyes to Evan, “Daddy, what gift did you prepare?”“Haha!” Evans smiled faintly and had his assistant bring an exquisitely wrapped box.The exquisiteness and elegance of the box gave away that it contained something valuable.“Wow, what’s this?” The three little ones were p
Anya’s POV:Evan had taken the initiative to establish trust fund worth more than $2 billion for each of his kid. This means that his kid would be financially secure, no matter what happened to the Carter Group.“Evan, don’t you think the kids are too young for this?” I asked with a voice filled with concern.He pursed his lips and said calmly, “You never know what happened tomorrow. In case something happened to me in the future, I want to make sure that both my kids and you enjoy financial security.”My eyes were welded up with tears.Evan is so considerate that he has thought about everything.The kids still confused about the situation eagerly asked, “Mommy, What is it?”I pondered for a moment, then leaned over to affectionately pat my son’s head. “This show the immense love your Daddy has for you. You should treat your Daddy well.”“Oh,” the three little kids' eyes blinked in confusion.Jerry, as a clever boy, quickly showered his father with flattery. “Thank you, Daddy. I promi
Evan’s POV:“What else do you need?” I asked impatiently.He smiled awkwardly and said with some embarrassment, “There are some financial issue in my company. I want your company’s financial director to help me verify the financial statements.”I frowned.“Oh, don’t worry. It won’t take long, just one day. Your company’s financial director is a top elite in the industry. I feel more at ease having him verify the statement.”“I wouldn’t feel at ease if someone has verified them.”I became even more annoyed.But since we are good friends, I reluctantly agreed to this small favor. “Fine! I will talk to the financial director.”“Then it’s settles. Thanks.”“Yeah, that’s it.” I finished speaking and ended the call abruptly.“Whose call was it?” Anya who had finished washing up asked curiously.Anya’s POV:Lately, I have been inexplicably worried about Evan, especially considering the aftermath of the investigation made by the Independent Commission against Corruption.“It’s no one importan
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
