Evan’s POV:When the kidnapper heard, this he handed the phone to Martha.Martha’s panicked voice came from the other end of the phone. “Evan save me. I am scared. I don’t want to die.”My heart sank. “Martha, don’t be afraid. I am coming to save you!”“Yes, Evan, please save me. I want to go home. Boohoo!”Before Martha could say anything, the kidnapper gagged her again.After confirming that Martha was still alive, I felt a little relieved.“Mr. Carter, can you relax now? Your girlfriend is still alive and well. If you continue to hesitate, you can’t be sure what will missing from her body.”“Don’t hurt her. I am going to South Bridge now.”Twenty minutes later, I drove to the South Bridge again.The total length of the bridge was about a few kilometers. It was the X city sea bridge that connected V City and M City.Below the bridge was the sea.I waited on the bridge for more than ten minutes, but no one came.“Are they coming?” I thought as I looked at my watch. Another ten minute
Evan’s POV:Very soon, Gael and Coral rushed over with some bodyguards!“Evan has been shot!”“Mr. Carter, Mr. Carter, how are you?”“I am fine!” I sucked in a sharp breath and staggered to my feet.Fortunately, I was wearing a bulletproof vest.I was shot four times in the back!Even though it didn’t penetrate, the pain was still intense. My back displayed four swollen marks as evidence of the shot.“Call the police now!”“Thank God, Evan… Boohoo…” Martha cried, and couldn’t catch her breath.This was an accident to her.She has been keeping a low profile and traveled around the world alone. Although she had met bad people, this was the first time she had been kidnapped.“Martha, they have not been done anything to you yet?”“No, I am just scared.”“Don’t be afraid, you are safe now!”“Let’s send Mr. Carter and Princess to the hospital!”Although Martha was now seriously injured, she got some wounds on her skin. I was also injured. We need to go to the hospital.Half an hour later, I
Author’s POV:They all died.At this moment, the other four realized what was going on and were shocked.They were pleading with the leader. They didn’t force him to split the money.But he shot.It was the same person who shot Evan just now.“Sometime, this is what happens!” The man with the pig mask slammed the gun on the table.His fierce temperament frightened everyone.“Do you have killed them?”“I told you, we are going to use this money for something grand! As long as you are part of my team, this money will grow exponentially in the future! Cars, houses, and women mean nothing. Don’t fixate on temporary pleasure!” The masked robber’s agitation grew with each word, his tone becoming frightenedly ferocious.Upon hearing this, the four robbers fell silent, refraining from saying anything further.A tall and lean robber suggested, “Well then, let’s stash away all the money for now!”“Boss, do you think Evan will involve the police? Perhaps, we should lay low for a while,” one of t
Frank’s POV:My second son has been more outstanding than my eldest son. He was smart and good at studying.It seemed that the Walter family’s remaining assets were better left to my second son.“David, when will you come back?”He paused briefly, contemplating the question, “That’s hard to say. If it was a brief, it could be around four to five days. However, if it is a long lifetime frame, it might be extended for one month or two.”I sighed heavily. “Then let’s talk about when you come back.”He looked curious. “What do you want to tell me?”I could not help but scold Harry again. “Sigh, ask your brother. Look what he did.”“Harry?”“He sold the house in S town and the two shops. He squandered them all! When you return, I will divide the property between the two of you. From now on, you will each be responsible for safeguarding your assets. If we don’t do it now, your brother will spend our well sooner or later.”“Oh!” He replied indifferently.He didn’t express any dissatisfaction
Anya’s POV:I had been in the hospital for more than half a month. I had already woken up. I had also passed the critical period.After recuperating for some time, if nothing went wrong, I could be discharged.“Be good, have another sip!” Kester was holding a bowl of chicken soup and persuading me to eat more.“I am full! Kester, you still want to undergo leg rehabilitation treatment. You should hurry up and go back to G city.”He expressed his concern saying, “No, your injuries are quite severe at the moment. I will return once you are recovered!”While the two of us were engrossed in conversation. Miranda pushed the door open and walked in.“Anya, Mr. Walter is here!”His handsome face darkened. He frowned and said, “Why is he here again?”Miranda, not wanting Dad to visit, chimed in, “Do you really want to see him? If you prefer him gone, I will m
Kester’s POV:I called the nurse.Soon, the nurse sent a wheelchair in!Miranda and Kelly helped Anya to the wheelchair.My legs were inconvenient, so I couldn’t help.“I can push Mr. Helsen; you can just need to follow the behind!”“Okay!” I had been in a wheelchair for nearly four months and gradually getting used to it.St Mary was a famous private hospital in X city.The environment here was very good. And all the facilities here were of the highest quality.There was a charming little garden that resembled an art park, featuring meticulously trimmed flowers and plants that were a delight to behold.Miranda pushed Anya around the garden.About ten minutes passed.In the corridor, coincidentally we met Evan.Author’s POV:Martha had been staying in the hospital for the past two days and was about to be discharged that day.Evan natural
Author’s POV:Anya’s nose was bleeding non-stop and her white hospital gown was dyed red.She had already held on to her for too long.The tense nerves in her brain had already reached their limit. Then, they finally broke.She suffered from served depression, unable to regulate her emotions without the aid of medication.“Anya, Anya!” Kester shouted anxiously and tried to stand up from the wheelchair.Miranda was filled with terror as she swiftly moved forward to assist Anya. “Anya!” she exclaimed with concern.Evan’s POV:Seeing this, my heart jumped to my throat. “Anya, what’s wrong?”As I spoke, I rushed forward and picked Anya up from the wheelchair.“Evan, put her down!” Kester said helplessly, feeling powerless and anxious,I had no time for him. I carried Anya and hurried to the ward.“Doctor, please come quickly. T
Evan’s POV:My mind was in a mess.At that time, I thought that the relationship between me and Anya was completely over.I yearned for a new relationship to fill the void and alleviate the pain in my heart. After all, I was human too, and I too could experience hurt.Although I hurt Anya deeply, Anya hurt me too.However, it was a stupid idea to move on from an old relationship by dating someone new.“Evan think twice.”“I am sorry. What kind of compensation do you want? Just tell me. I will try my best to satisfy you!” I wanted to end this relationship as soon as possible with money.I was not poor.I had nothing but money.I didn’t know how to make up for losses I had caused others than compensating with money.If possible, I was willing to let her cut me.However, these were all unrealistic. The most practical thing was to compensate the other person with enoug
Anya’s POV:The previously grumbling individuals suddenly became dejected resembling mute statues.Evan had made it clear that anyone who opposed him would be kicked out of the Carter Group.Who would dare to speak up now?“Alright, I have finished speaking.” Evan said, his eyes looking at Mr Collen, “If anyone has any objection or opinions, please speak up now.”“You,” He pointed at Mr Collen as he said, “You want to express your opinion earlier. Now is this time.”“Mr. Collen’s throat tightened and he stammered, “Uh, well… I have no objection. I fully support Mr. Carter’s decision.”Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes widened in shock.Author’s POV:He was the one who had been most vehemently opposing the decision just now, rallying everyone to join the opposition.But now, as soon as the threat of expulsion from the cartoon group was aroused, he was the first to back down.Sing that everyone remains silent, Liam couldn’t sit still any longer. He said carefully, “Evan, it's not that
Anya’s POV:I began to feel inexplicably nervous at the conference room entrance, my heart pounding rapidly, “Evan,” I whispered, my voice filled with unease. I am still a bit nervous. Will they give me a hard time later?”He chuckled and adjusted the collar of my shirt as he quietly encouraged me, “Don’t worry.” He said teasingly, “If anyone gives you a hard time, just summon the courage you had when you confronted me before.”He leaned closer and added, “You dared to challenge me, so why would you be afraid of them? Come on, show me a fierce look!”I glared at him. “It’s already such a critical moment, and you still have the mood to joke?” I retorted, my frustration evident.“Relax,” Evan said, his tone half-relaxed and half-serious, “No matter how formidable they are, can they be more formidable than me? Why would you be afraid of them if you dared to challenge even me?”He smiled mischievously and continued, “If anyone gives you a hard time, just hit back fiercely. If you can’t wi
Anya’s POV:Having fallen into the trap yesterday, the reporters were even more determined today. Their thirst for information from Evan was unquenchable. It seemed they would not give up until they achieved their goal.Contrary to his evasive attitude the previous day, Evan now calmly faces the camera lenses of the journalists. “Yes, I have officially passed on the position to the president of Carter Group to Miss Walter.” He revealed as he maintained a composed demeanor.“Miss Walter is now the new president of the Carter Group, feel free to interview her and ask any question,” Evan announced, his voice carrying a faint smile.With that, he smoothly pushed me into the spotlight, directly in front of the eager reporters.Camera flashes nearly blinded me and a sea of microphones thrust forward, each vying for my attention.“Miss Walter, can you confirm that you have taken over the Carter Group?” The reporter inquired, their voices filled with anticipation.“Is it true that you and Mr.
Anya’s POV:The Carter family’s dinner time was usually at seven in the evening. Evan used to work overtime often, so the children did not have to wait for him to come back for dinner.“Flora, how are you today? Are you feeling better?” Evan lovingly carried his daughter.Flora smiled sweetly, “Yes, I am much better now.”“Mm, From tomorrow onwards, Daddy and Mommy might have to stay longer at the company for work. I am afraid we won’t have much time to accompany you! Let Lillian take care of you, okay?”“Oh, alright!” Flora’s eyes lost bright suddenly.Seeing the disappointment in the children’s eyes, Evan smiled lovingly, “Daddy will take you out. Christmas when Daddy is done with work.”“Alright, it’s a deal.”“It’s a deal!”Evan had taken advantage of the limited time to hand over his work to me as soon as possible so that I could quickly familiarize myself with the company’s work model and management.Otherwise, when we were caught off guard, the consequences would be catastrophi
Evan’s POV:That was true. When I was with other women, they racked their brains to please me.Even Princess Martha would think of ways to make me happy. Only when I was with Anya was I a little depressed.Not to mention feeling pleased, it was already a blessing for me not to fly into a rage while staying with Anya.Anya narrowed her eyes and said calmly, “I didn’t ask you to be with me. If you think I am bored, you can find another woman. I won’t stop you.”I choked in anger.Look, this damn woman is so unromantic. She didn’t even know what was flirting at all, let alone reading people's expressions.“Then I look for another woman.” I deliberately smiled teasingly, trying to trigger her jealousy.“Go ahead! As long as you are happy, you can do whatever you want.” Anya replied seriously, she didn’t look angry at all.I was so angry that I couldn’t h
Anya’s POV:The car was slowly driving out of the garage. The reporters followed it out of the parking lot. Even if we could only take a photo of the side profile of the person involved, this kind of news would still attract a lot of traffic.Coral came into the office and replied, “Mr. Carter, the reporters have been lured away!”“Okay, I got it.”“Honey, let’s go!” Evan smiled dotingly.I tried to retort, but in the end, I held it in. Moreover, I was in a hurry to go home, not in the mood to argue with him.When we came out of the staff passageway, Evan drove a backup car!I got into the passenger seat. After I fastened my seat belt, I could not help but massage my sore waist and neck, “I am so tired!”After Evan started the car, he looked at me. “Are you tired? I will give you a massage when we get back.”I rolled my eyes and thought that he was j
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
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
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
