Evan’s POV:I walked into the room before Jenny and waited for three minutes.I didn’t want to see Jenny. However, I changed my mind because I was angry at Anya.I thought, “Anya can meet Kester and stay with him for a few days. Why can’t I have some moments with another woman? I got piss Anya off.”I sat opposite Jenny. Jenny’s eyes lit up when she saw me. Then she hurriedly grabbed the phone from the wall. “Evan, I am here to see you again. How have you been recently?”I replied coldly, “I am doing okay.”Jenny frowned slightly and said sorrowfully, “Look at you. You have lost weight. Although you have some privileges here, the prison can never compare to your house. Evan, I wish you could come out tomorrow.”Hearing this, I frowned.Noticing my cold attitude, Jenny changed the topic, “Evan, I have bad news for you. My brother passed away.”As she spoke, her eyes turned red, and tears welled up in her eyes.When I heard this, I felt upset. However, I could not comfort Jenny through
Evan’s POV:When speaking, Jenny looked at me with desire, hoping I would give her an answer.I looked at Jenny and wanted to reject her.She didn’t look good.The features made her look aggressive.I thought for a while, then said, “Give me some time to consider it.”Jenny's eyes lit up when she heard that. She said, “How much time do you need to decide?”I replied, “Huh. Marriage is not a child’s play. I had to get out of jail first, even if I wanted to marry you.”Jenny was overjoyed when she heard that she cried. “Evan, does that mean you are willing to give me a chance and date me?”In the past, I mercilessly rejected Jenny every time she confused her feelings with me.However, this time my answer was ambiguous. My attitude was different this time.I said, “Well, I can give it a try. However, I need time to get into a relationship.”She immediately replied, “It's okay. I can wait!”When we were talking, Jenny suddenly became suspicious. “Did you lie to me? What if you change your
Anya’s POV:I went up to take a look. Coral’s leg was still splinted. However, Kody’s injury was more severe. Kody lay on the bed and couldn’t get up on his own.Although I have not visited them at the hospital over the past few days, the Butler reported everything to me.Coral had no problem recovering. However, Kody has difficulties recovering as before. Even if Kody recovered, he could probably not drive again. What’s worse? There was the possibility that Kody would be disabled.Luckily, the insurance company compensated lot for Coral and Kody. The Carter Group also compensated a decent amount of money for Coral and Kody getting work injuries.The compensation for Kody and Coral was enough for them to live well for the rest of their lives if they did not squander the money. They would probably quit their jobs at the Carter Group when their injuries are healed.I comforted them gently. “Don’t worry
Anya’s POV:When I heard this, I couldn’t help but frown.Tibetan mastiffs are large-sized and fierce. I don’t think having one with my children is a good idea!Thus, I said, “Well! Maybe not a Tibetan mastiff? It will be troublesome if he bites you. I think a teddy or a corgi sounds like a better choice.”Hearing this Jerry shook his head heavily. “Mommy, I don’t like small dogs. I like Tibetan mastiffs. They look like lions. By the way, Daddy also keeps many animals in the backyard. However, Daddy never allowed us to enter!”Jason and Flora were playing with building blocks. However, they run over quickly when they hear Jerry could have a pet.Jason carried Flora over since Flora could not walk herself.Flora got sick very often, so she was thin. Jason has no difficulties carrying her.Jason placed his sister on the sofa. Then he sat on my other side and said, “Mommy, I wa
Author’s POV:A big-eyed beauty at the front desk whispered to the customer service manager beside her, “Tsk tsk. I didn’t expect Miss Walter dare to come back to work. I thought she was too ashamed to see anyone and hid away!”The customer service manager pursed her lips. Then she sighed and commented, “You are overthinking! After all, that’s Miss Water. She has been through a lot and has seen everything. The rumors this time have nothing to her!”Another customer service representative with a round face and short hair mocked, “That’s right! Miss Walter is famous for attracting handsome and wealthy men. Some people had to work hard their entire lives. However, Miss Walter goes faster and higher in her career than anyone by using men as her stepping stone. In just two years, she has become the richest woman in X city. “Well, people have different storylines. I have to say, Miss Walters’ tracks are
Author’s POV:Anya was Evan’s beloved woman, and they could not afford to offend her before.But now everyone knows that she cuckolded Evan.She was nothing without Evan’s support, and no one would take her seriously.The look in Anya’s eyes turned stern, “It’s been ten days since we started work after the New Year holiday. You guys should at least summarize what you have done during this time, right?”“Miss Walter, you must be kidding. You have not been to the office for five days, but you are asking us to do a work summary. If you want us to report on our work, you should take the lead to report on yours, right? After all, you are the new head of the cooperation, " the female director said sarcastically.She joined Carter Group when Evan’s grandfather was in charge of the company and has been working here for almost 30 years.Even Evan had to show some respect to her.She
Anya’s POV:I frowned.I was asking the board members to report on their work, not the employees.It seemed like the employees who had just participated in the meeting were frightened.“Alright, just leave them on the table!”“Miss Walter, do you have any other instructions?”“No. That’s all!”“Then we will go out first.”“Okay.”After Mark and David left, I stroked my forehead and called Donald.I wanted to ask if the Green Bay project was done.Ring! Ring! Ring!After ringing for a moment, Donald answered quickly. “Hello!”“Mr. Donald, it’s me, Anya!”“Oh, it’s Miss Walter! How may I help you?” Donald asked respectfully.“How is the Green Bay project going?”Donald pondered for a moment before he answered. “Well, its in progress. There should be results soon.”“When can the construction site be resumed?”“We are waiting for documents to be approved. As soon as its approved, we can get back to work. Miss Walter, don’t worry. I have been keeping an eye on it. I will report you if ther
Anya’s POV:My head buzzed. I looked blankly at my son, not knowing how to answer.Jason paused briefly before continuing, “Mom, Mr. Helsen is good. We like him very much too. But we just want him to be our Uncle Helsen forever, not our dad.”Jerry immediately said in response to Jason’s words, “That’s right! Mom, you said that you would wait for Dad to come out, right? Mom, can you not abandon Dad? I want our family to be together forever.”I looked at the kid helplessly, saying, “You silly, who told you this?”“We saw the news on the Internet.”I took a deep breath and stroked the children’s heads one by one.“Sometimes what you see might not be the truth. That’s the nonsense written by the media. Do you believe what Mom told you or the story the people others made?”When the kids heard they said in unison, “We believe in mom, of course!”“That’s good. Since you trust me, I will tell you what happened. I met up with Mr. Helsen because I had something important to discuss with him. I
Anya’s POV:My heart was pounding wildly, and I hastily walked away.Seeing that I was about to run into another group of bodyguards, I had no choice but to duck into a women’s clothing store.“Welcome! Miss, do you want to buy clothes?”“We have the latest styles here. Feel free to look around.”I quickly grabbed a piece of clothing from the rack and darted into the fitting room.“Miss, you have a good taste. This is one of our new arrivals.” The saleswoman enthusiastically introduced.I carefully opened the door of the fitting room and said to the saleswoman, “Yes, I am quite satisfied with this piece. Could you please pick up a few more for me?”“Oh, of course! I will go pick some for you right now.”“Wait, could I borrow a phone, please?”“Sure!” The saleswoman smiled sweetly and enthusiastically handed the phone to me.I took the phone and returned to the fitting room.After pondering for a while, I couldn’t resist calling Kester!I didn’t want to trouble Castro again, but I coul
Tony’s POV:After hanging up the phone, the woman quickly discarded the phone in the trash can and hurriedly left.Sitting nearby, Tom and I looked at her with our mouths agape.I whispered, “Did you see that woman just now? She just tossed away her phone after spending $200 to make a call. This is just too extravagant.”My friend Tom nodded repeatedly, “With such lavish spending, she surely must have a lot of cash on her.”“Looks like our golden opportunity has arrived…”With these words, the two of us exchanged knowing looks.The greed on the edge of our courage, we decide to rob her.Observing she had left the overpass, we hastily got up and stealthily trailed her.Anya’s POV:I exited the overpass.It was already past ten in the morning. I presumed Evan would arrive shortly.“I can’t stay here. I need to leave now!”I was about to hail a taxi to escape from there.Unfortunately, this was a commercial district, and taxis were scarce.I tried to hail more than ten cars in a row, but
Evan’s POV:Boom!My heart almost stood still. I felt like I had suddenly fallen into an ice cave.I returned to my senses a moment later and said hoarsely, “I don’t believe you. You must be lying to me.”“Anya, you hate me, but the child is innocent. You must be lying to me, right?” I took a deep breath, unwilling to accept the fact.My parents passed away when I was young, and I had no siblings. My children were my only bloodline.I already had three children.However, when Jason, Jerry and Flora were born, I was not by their side. I didn’t experience the joy of being first time father then.I was fully prepared this time around and waited eagerly to welcome a new child into the family.Therefore, I could not accept the abortion.Anya paused momentarily before replying coldly, “I am telling the truth. The child has been aborted.”“I don’t have to lie to you. There is nothing else for you to expect!”Suddenly, there was utter silence on the other end of the phone.I could hear the so
Anya’s POV:My heart sank when I overheard the two men gossiping away.“Excuse me, sir, may I borrow your cell phone?”The two vagrants looked at me casually while looking at the phone, “No way! My phone is running out of battery. I have to charge it at the convenience store soon. Moreover, what kind of person doesn’t have a phone nowadays? Why did you ask to borrow mine?”I feared Evan would trace my cell phone location. Therefore, I left it behind.I would have the register with my real ID if I were to apply for a new SIM card.“Sir, I will buy you a cell phone instead.” I took a wallet from my canvas bag and retrieved $200.“I pay for your phone. You can use the money to buy new one.” I said and handed the money to the homeless man.Homeless man’s POV:I looked surprised and became speechless. I looked at the woman skeptically.It was strange that she offered $200 to buy this old phone. She could have bought a brand new one with that amount. I was puzzled.Moreover, someone who cas
Anya’s POV:I became even more aimless after leaving X City West.The weather changed gradually, and dark clouds gathered. The wind blew strongly, cleaning the streets of pedestrians.The storm was apparently about to descend.I felt the chill and tightened my jacket.I had to find another place to stay quickly.Although I had money, I would have to register with my identity card to stay in a better hotel. The same regulation applies in ordinary home stays.It was challenging to find another homestay without an identity card.I subconsciously stopped in my tracks when an overpass passed me.Many unemployed people and vagrants gathered under the overpass. Land in the X city was scarce, and every inch was worth its weight in gold. Many could not afford the tiniest house and resorted to living under the overpass.I looked around.Many homeless people had set up mosquito nets to make independent tents. I would probably have to do the same under the overpass if I did not want to register w
Evan’s POV:Half an hour later, I arrived at the Home stay in the suburbs.I was with an entourage of bodyguards and servants.“Where is she?” I asked anxiously.The Lady boss of the homestead was shocked to see many burly men in suits appearing at her door. She stammered, “She has already left. Look, is this her?”She quickly pulled out the surveillance footage.The public living room was occupied with surveillance.I took a look and became excited. “Yes, yes, that’s her!”In this surveillance video, Anya held a bowl of medicine and was about to drink it.At the same time, my heart sank. “What was she drinking? What was it?”“Oh, she said she had a cold, and it’s cold medicine. “The Lady boss replied.“She left this behind.” The Lady boss quickly brought over Anya’s medicine.“Mark, go and check immediately. What’s in this medicine?” I instructed.Mark looked closer and replied worriedly, “Mr. Carter, the formula is abortion medicine.”Boom!I staggered and almost lost my balance. My
Lady Boss’ POV:I scoffed before changing the channel with a remote control.Unexpectedly, Evan Carter also had a press conference on another channel.I switched a few channels consecutively, all of which were news about Evan Carter looking for Anya Walter.Evan booked the prime time advertising for several TV stations for this purpose.“If any of you know the whereabouts of Anya Walter, please inform me. You will be rewarded handsomely.” Evan promised.“Oh my! Evan Carter is lofty indeed to look for a missing wife on Prime TV. A rich man always gets his way with money.” I looked at the young woman subconsciously as I commented sarcastically.Only then did I realize something unusual with the young woman before me.She wore a cap and sunglasses in an ordinary outfit.However, her temperament was different from the home stays other guests. She had exquisite facial features, and her skin was delicate and translucent.To be honest, she looked a lot like Anya Walter.My heart skipped a be
Anya’s POV:I returned to the small clinic to get the medicine at the agreed time.“Doctor, is the medicine ready?” I asked.The doctor nodded repeatedly, “Yes, yes, it is ready for collection.”“I concocted some medicine that’s less harmful to the body and has milder medical effects.”The doctor was alone in the small clinic. There were no nurses. He handed the medicine to me.I looked and saw a dozen black-brown medicinal bags in the plastic carrier. “How do you take it?”“It’s a traditional medicine ready for consumption. Take a packet every morning, noon, and night for three consecutive days. The fetus will turn into blood and discharge through your vagina.” The doctor instructed carefully.My brows knotted, and I vaguely felt my abdomen twitch, as if the fetus inside me sensed danger and protested silently.“Okay, how much is it?”“400 dollars.”I frowned again. Then I took out $400 from my wallet.The fee was indeed a little expensive.A reputable hospital would have cost less t
Author’s POV:Soon, the news of Anya Walter’s disappearance had spread like a wildfire.The media found out about Anya Walter’s disappearance through the mysterious informant.By the end of the day, the news has already been released online.“Evan Carter left dejected as his pregnant ex-wife escapes.”“You run, I chase… You can’t escape even if you have wings! Anya Walter deliberately disappears.”Evan Carter’s relationship with his ex-wife crumbles completely. Anya Walter was possibly abandoned.”As soon as the news was released, the Internet exploded again, and the entire city joined in to watch the show.“What’s going on between Mr. Carter and his ex-wife? Why is there so much news every other day? I hear so much about their melodramatic lives that I am tired of watching them.”“That’s right! We can’t have a moment o
