Anya’s POV:
I sat beside him, and an uncomfortable silence settled between us as we drove.
Halfway through the journey, unable to contain myself any longer, I broke the silence, “Evan, how are you? Are you doing okay in there?”
Evan raised an eyebrow, his gaze filled with complex emotions. “You don’t have to worry. The lawyer will handle everything.”
“But I am worried. I admitted, my concern evident in my voice.
“Worried about what? Worried that I will go to jail?” Evan smirked, his eyes playfully, fixed on me. His large hand could not resist resting on my shoulder, ready to pull me into an embrace.
“Do you miss me?”
I straightened up, trying to maintain a serious demeanor. “Can you stop fooling around? It’s not the time for jokes. Why are you in such a lighthearted mood?”
“Don’t you miss me?” he persisted, not letting up on hi
Evan’s POV:While we were talking, Jason and Jerry returned from Kindergarten.The boys was stunned when they saw me standing in the courtyard. They thought they must be seeing things.“Dad, you are finally back.” Jason and Jerry said in unison and ran towards me.Then, they hugged my leg from both sides.I looked blankly at them, feeling flattered.These two have never treated me so warmly. Compared to the other two kids, Jason was more reluctant to get close to me.But now, he took the initiative to hug my leg!“You two brats, let go of me!”“No, we won’t!” The kids refuse to loosen their grip, as if I would disappear if let go of me, Their eyes turning red.“What’s wrong with them?” I looked at Anya in a daze.Anya’s eyes also turn red. “The kids are happy to see you.”“Really? I am so glad they finally started caring about their Dad. Good. I didn’t raise them for nothing.” I smiled faintly as he patted my son's head.I then bent down and picked them up.The two boys were already m
Anya’s POV:After Evan finished the food on his plate, he used his spoon to scoop a dumpling from Jerry’s.Jerry pouted and protested. “This is mine. Dad, don’t snatch it from me.”“Dad, you can have mine!” Flora immediately pushed her plate to her Dad.“Unlike these two brats, my daughter cares about me the most!”“Dad, you can have mine.” When Jason and Jerry heard this, they quickly pushed their dumplings to Evan.Evan smiled, “It’s okay! I was just joking with you.”I was happy to see Evan interact with the kids at the dining table. It was great that the Carter family became deadly again.Severants’ POV:We looked at them outside the dining room and were dumbfounded.“Tsk, tsk, tsk! Mr. Carter is particular about food. I didn’t expect him to like spaghetti and dumplings so much.”“We can cook these two staples more often for him in the future.” a chef said.The other chef rolled his eyes, “Forget it. Mr. Carter liked them because they were made by Mrs. Carter. He won’t want us to
Evan’s POV:The shareholders and executives were talking about me in the conference room.“Mr. Carter was released on bail yesterday. He should come to the office today, right?”“Mr. Carter is already at the office. I just saw his car outside!”“So much happened recently. Mr. Carter’s detention caused quite a stir. Countless reporters are waiting downstairs.”“That’s right! I wonder how the Carter Group will keep going on if Mr. Carter…” A shareholder paused for a while before he continued hesitantly. “What if Mr. Carter goes to jail, who will take over the Carter Group? Well, it's just the hypothesis.”“Whoever has the most share will take over.” Another major shareholder blurted out.Everyone discussed uneasily as if I was doomed to go to jail.White they were discussing; I pushed open the door of the conference room and appeared in front of everyone with a gloomy face and scanned around coldly.The originally noisy conference room instantly fell silent. Everyone sat up straight in
Author’s POV:The face of the Liam, who was sitting below the stage, stiffened, and a complicated look flashed across his cloudy, gloomy eyes.Evan handed the Carter Group to an outsider rather than to his uncle.He couldn’t understand or accept this.No one expected Evan to suddenly make such a decision.“Mr. Carter, you must be kidding.” Everyone’s expectant gaze instantly turned into contempt for Anya.They admitted that Anya was not an ordinary woman. Otherwise, she should not have been able to get the man who was as brilliant as Evan and Kester so obsessed with her.It was not because she was outstanding at work.Moreover, she couldn’t run a small company like Walter Group well. How could she manage such a huge company like Carter Group?“I am not joking. If I am no longer around, Miss Walter will be your chairman and take over my work.”“I will temporarily transfer all my authority to Miss Walter.”Everyone looked at each other. their eyes popping out in shock.Liam’s POV:My fa
Evan’s POV:My heart ached even more, and tears warmed up again.No one could keep clean in the dirty business world, let alone stay out of trouble.The punishment for my crime might be severe or light. I could be sentenced to death or to be considered not to have committed a vicious crime.It was up to how the lawyers would fight for it. It would be best if I could be out of the hook after paying some fine.If it could not be solved by money, I would ask the lawyer to help me get a lesser charge so that I would be released from jail a few years earlier.“Don’t ask me anymore. It’s not good for you to know too much.”She sniffed and punched me twice. “Evan, you bastard! Why do you always make me cry?”“Stop crying. This is not the time to cry. Don’t worry. I will be in jail for a few years at most. I will be out soon. Be good when I am not around.”Anya didn’t answer and cried more bitterly.I raised my eyebrows slightly and joked around with her. “If I am only sentenced to three or f
Author’s POV:The reporters were interviewing when they saw Liam and his assistant walk out of the company.They swarmed towards Liam again, “Mr. Miller, may I have a word with you?”Dozens of microphones were handed over, and more than ten bodyguards stepped forward to stop them. Unfortunately, they were outbound and could not resist their reporter's madness.“Mr. Miller, it heard that Mr. Carter voluntarily resigned from the president’s position. What do you think about this?”“Will Mr. Carter pass this position to you?”“Did Mr. Carter pass the president position to his ex-wife? Is that true?” The reporters were bombarded with questions.Lima's face was dark, and they didn’t say a word. Surrounded by the bodyguards, he finally passed through the crowd and made his way into his car.Reporters for broadcasting live and were even dying to be the first to report the latest news.“The Carter Group's President Evan Carter resigned voluntarily and will face 20 years in prison.”“Evan’s Ca
Tina’s POV:After a hot battle, Zachary was so tired that he collapsed to the side.I looked at him in disdain, and my heart was fully despised.Although he was a playboy, he had always played with too many women. So, his body had long been overdrawn.He could not satisfy me at all.I was purely using him against Evan.I got up on Wednesday to the bathroom to take a shower. I turned on the tap and washed the traces he left behind in disgust.“Hmph, what a waste of man. A loser? So obsessed with that thing. How disgusting.” After cursing in my heart, I fiercely rubbed my body.Other than hitting Evan, I also missed Paul. I missed the satisfaction and the joy that he had brought me.Unfortunately, he was sentenced to 20 years in prison. I could no longer find a love for who understood me as well as Paul.After showering, I wrapped my hair in a towel and came out of the bathroom.The spacious and luxurious office became a paradise for the two of them. Most of the time, employees rarely c
Zachary’s POV:Tears streamed down Jenny’s face as she looked at me in disbelief. “You are so horrible. How can you do that? I can;t see you do it. I am going to tell Evan…”Seeing this I panicked, “Jenny! Put it down quickly and stopped causing trouble.”Evan was not in prison yet. If he found out the truth, the consequences would be unimaginably terrible.Seeing that Jenny was about to run out, Tina picked up the vase beside her and smashed it hard on the back of Jenny’s head.“Bang!”“Ahh…” Jenny groaned. Her vision turned blank, and then she fell heavily on the ground.Dark red blood instantly flowed from the back of her head.Seeing my sister get hurt, I was easily frightened out my wits. “Jenny! Jenny! Tina, she is my sister. How could you hit her so hard?”Tina looked innocent. “If I don’t do anything to her. She will ruin our plan. If she spreads our secret, Evan won’t let us off.”“But you can’t hit my sister so hard.” I felt frightened, but when I saw the blood on the ground
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
Jenny’s POV:Ten minutes later, Jimmy entered the office with Marlowe.Marlowe walked in and looked at the mess on the ground. He teased, “What, who provoked Miss Gracia?”I rolled my eyes coldly and growled, “What brings the prestigious President Yanice here today?”A sly look appeared in Marlowe’s eyes as he said in a glib tone. “Miss Garcia, long time no see. I miss you.”I snorted, “If you have something to say, just say it.” I rolled my eyes arrogantly and impatiently.Marlowe might be one of the wealthy second generation, but he was not popular in the elite circle of the rich second generation.After all, Marlowe had been imprisoned for nine years. Moreover, his reputation was not good. The elite circle of affluent second generation was not very willing to associate with him.“Look at what you are saying, Miss Garcia. You are so distant…”
