Anya’s POV:I was thinking silently on the hospital bed, not reacting to him. After receiving utensils from him, I ate mechanically.If I left him, I needed money.I plan to sell the properties in M city and Green town. At the same time, I would also sell the properties overseas.Evan had once given me black card. I had used part of it, but there was still over $20 million on it.I could use this time to cash out all these things and then choose the right time to leave him.Seeing that I only ate rice and didn’t pick any of the other dishes, Evan leaned over and peered at me few seconds. He asked suspiciously, “What’s wrong? Why do you look like this? Are you feeling unwell?”“I am fine. It’s just that my calf hurts a little,” I replied quietly.“I will call the doctors and tell them to prescribe you some painkillers.”“No need. It's not good to take too many painkillers!”When Evan heard this, he held my hand again. “Anya, I am sorry. I won’t force you anymore. If there is anything,
Anya’s POV:I frowned. “Evan, are you serious?”He looked solemn, “Of course. There is a piece of land in the back of the house that was bought a few years ago. It had just been used. It come handy now. We will build children’s playground for our children to play.”I frowned and looked at Evan, transfixed.“Also, I have thought about it. My next step is to invest in a school.”As he spoke, Evan touched his chin and said regretfully, “Tsk. Why didn’t I think of investing in this sector in the past? If we had invested earlier, it would be more convenient for the children. However, it's not too late. When they go to middle school and university, it will come in handy. I have already thought about it. When they were in middle school, I would send them overseas for education. During vacation, they can come back to X city for private classes.”I was completely speechless after heari
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…”
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
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
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
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
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: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
