Give you a ride

Anya’s POV:

As I looked at their excited expression, I couldn’t help but sneered. ‘It was no wonder people say that money can do anything! It might be my first time seeing the member of the Walter family so excited after seeing me…’ I scoffed inwardly.

The reason I came back this time was all because of my grandfather. In the Walter family, he was the only person who was nice to me and loved me. And since he had left the Walter Group in my hands, I don’t want to disappoint him. After all, it was my grandfather’s whole life work.

And I didn’t want to get ruined in the hands of those useless people.

“What’s there to be surprised about it? How can someone like her not show up at a time like this? She is such a greedy person and it’s a lot of money! How can she let it go?”

Suddenly a sarcastic voice fell into my ears.

I pulled back my thoughts and turned my head to look in the direction of the voice. Then, I saw, Harry, Mia’s son looking at me angrily.

Harry had never treated me as his elder sister since we were young and now when I had become the biggest beneficiary of my grandfather’s will, I am not surprised to see him like this. But who cares! I don’t even give a damn about him!

“In all those years, you didn’t come to see Grandpa even once and don’t care about him. However, now when it’s time to talk about the inheritance, you came. How shameless!” Harry continued.

“Enough of that.” At that moment, my father looked at Harry and spoke.

Then, he patted me on the shoulder and said, “Anya, don’t mind him, after all, he is your brother. Since you are back, move back home! It’s not good for you to live outside!”

“Yes, Anya, come and live with us. Also, your grandfather made a will on his deathbed. He wants you to inherit the 51% shares of the Walter Group. The illness must have clouded his head. How could he leave such a large enterprise in the hands of the girl who knows nothing about it? Anya, you are still young and dumb. I think you should let your father run the business.” Mia said merrily with her lips curling up in a sneer.

Hearing her words, my lips curled up into a sneer, but there was no expression on my face.

How could I not understand what she was trying to say? Ever since Mia had moved to the Walter family, she was in control of everything, so she also wanted to control me and always thought that I was bound to listen to her.

However, what she didn’t know was that I was no longer that old Anya who was afraid of her. I am no longer a soft and weak person…

I ignored them, turned to look at Mr. Gary, and said, “Mr. Gary, should I continue the other formalities after my grandfather’s funeral.”

“There is no problem. We can proceed according to your plan!” Mr. Gary replied respectfully.

I nodded and thanked them politely.

“Yeah! Yeah! Father’s funeral is very important! We will talk about it after the funeral. Let’s postponed everything until then.” My father said.

However, I ignored their words, turned around, and left.

Evan’s POV:

As I was waiting for my car outside the company, I couldn’t help but think about Anya.

When Tara asked me about Anya in the office, I froze for a moment as I didn’t know how to answer the question.

Four years ago, when I sent her the divorce papers through my lawyer, I thought that she would not sign it or at least make some scene…

However, to my surprise, she didn’t. When my lawyer handed me the papers, I couldn’t even believe in my eyes, as I looked at her signature. After all, I always believed that she was just a gold digger, so I thought she must be planning something.

What’s more, when I got home the next day, Anya had already moved out. What’s more, except for her ID and a few clothes which she bought from Walter's family, she didn’t take anything with her.

But I still didn’t believe that she would give up so easily and thought that she would certainly pester me, so I prepared many ways to deal with her.

However, I had never expected that I wouldn’t have any need to do this, as she was not going to come back.

And these four years, there had been no news of her. Of course, I had never tried to investigate where she was.

It had been four years, and I had never heard anything about her from anyone.

She just disappeared from my world as I asked her to do so…

And today, from the moment, Anya walked out to the office, she didn’t even look at me at once, as if she didn’t see me at all.

And I don’t know why, seeing her like this makes me feel a little irritated.

As I was lost in thought, suddenly the sound of high heels tapping on the ground fell on my ears. As I turned around, I saw Anya walking out of the building.

“Where are you going? Let me give you a ride!” I spoke. My voice was kind of hoarse because I hadn’t spoken for a long time.

Anya raised her brows as smiled politely, shook the car keys in her hand, and said, “Thanks, but I don’t need it. I have my own car.”

Her face was indifferent and expressionless as if she was simply being polite to a stranger.

Suddenly, I felt someone grabbed my arm. Turning around I saw Tara holding my arm intimately, as she looked at Anya and said, “Anya, why are you so polite as if we are strangers! We are family and it’s natural for us to help each other. By the way, why don’t you move back with us. At least, you don’t have to be alone, and…”

However, before Tara could finish her sentence, Anya interrupted her, “Thanks! But I don’t have any family, and I don’t like to be with strangers!”

Saying that she waved politely and walked to the sliver Bentley parked not far away. Then, she opened the door and got in.

Soon, with a roar the car drove away and disappeared in the crowd.

“It seems that my sister had been living a good life these years! She could enjoy such a rich life without any help from the family.” Tara remarked.

However, I didn’t say anything in response.

During the four years when Anya had been gone, for various reasons, I didn’t marry Tara. Moreover, with these four years, I realized that Tara was simply not the one for me.

The only reason that I didn’t break up with Tara was because of my family. The Walter family was wealthy, but it was nothing compared with the Carters. However, the elders of both families were close friends. That was why he had always been taking care of the Walter family.

Except for that, there is also another reason. Ten years ago, when I nearly drowned while I was swimming, at that time it was Tara who saved me. Ever since then, I swore that I would love and protect this girl for the rest of my life.

“Anya had always been striving since she was just a kid. She is smart and good with men, too. See her fancy clothes and car? She must have hooked up with some wealthy fellow again. Unlike her, Tara, you are always stupid and innocent, and people try to take advantage of you.”

At that moment, a woman's voice came from behind me. As I turned around, I saw Mia walking towards us.

Even though it looked like she was praising Anya, it was not hard for me to tell the meaning behind her words.

“Mom, what are you talking about?”

“Oh, I just want you to learn from Anya. Do you see how good she has been doing? Girls like her are never for us to be worried about wherever she goes. There aren’t many girls as smart as her anymore.”

Hearing her words, I don’t know why I felt a little upset in my heart.

“Mia, Tara, I must go now. I have an important meeting tonight,” I said.

“Yeah, sure. Drive safe, alright? Mia replied with a flattering smile. It seemed like she didn’t want to offend her daughter’s promising husband-to-be.

However, I didn’t say anything, turned around, got in the car and drove away.

Anya is here

Mia’s POV:

“Mom, it’s all your fault! If it weren’t for your stupid plan that year, that bitch Anya never able to get a chance to become Mrs. Carter!” Tara complained while stomping her feet in anger. “It’s been so long since Evan divorced that bitch, but he never mentions marrying me at once… and now when Anya is back… what I am going to do?”

Hearing Tara's words, I could not help but grit my teeth grumpily. Whenever I thought about what happened six years ago, I couldn’t help but regret it. That was the only decision that I regret most in the world.

At that time all I wanted to do was to kick Anya out of the house, so, I made a well-designed plan because I wanted Anya to bring dishonor to the family so that the old man kicked her out of the family, and she would lose her right of inheritance.

But I had never expected that my plan would be backfired, and Anya slept with Evan. What was even more frustrating was that not only did that old man kick Anya out of the house but arranged for her and Evan to get married.

Every time I thought of what happened that night, my whole body filled with anger, and I wanted to kill that bitch Anya more…

I gritted my teeth and tried to comfort my daughter, “I did all this for you, silly. And if it weren’t that old shit, my plan would have been successful. But that old bastard! I didn’t expect her to love that bitch more than his family reputation…”

“However, you don’t have to worry! Now that old man is dead, no one would support that bitch! I will not let her off!”

“But Mom…” Tara still looked worried…

I patted her on the shoulder and said, “Don’t worry. That idiot Anya is just as stupid as her dead mother. However, we can’t fall out with her now, not until she gives up her share of the inheritance first…”

****

Ten days later, at Karl’s funeral.

As I looked at the dazzling rain, I couldn’t help but frown.

All members of the Walter family had arrived at the cemetery except for Anya. Even the finest people in the city also showed up to their respects.

Since Karl Walter was quite a big shot in X city, his funeral was well-focused and many famous media reporters were also gathered outside the cemetery.

“I heard Karl Walter leave everything for the eldest daughter of the Walter family, Anya Walter. She is the one who is going to inherit the Walter Group.”

“OMG! She is such a shrewd! How can Mr. Walter leave everything for someone as shameless as her? We still remember how she seduced her brother-in-law six years ago, forced her sister to leave the country, and married the Carter family in the place of her sister. Now, she even become the director of the Walter Group! Impressive! She really has some skills!”

“Ha! So what? She is just a shameless woman. Wasn’t she kicked out by the Carter family already? Such a woman doesn’t deserve to be the director.”

As I heard the whispering from the crowd, my lips curled up in a smile. However, I tried my best to maintain a sad expression as I looked at the crowd and said, “May I have your attention, please! First of all, I would like to thank you all for coming to my father-in-law’s funeral and…”

Suddenly a reporter cut me off and asked, “Mrs. Walter, is it true that Anya is going to take over the Walter Group as the new leader?”

Hearing that, I paused for a moment, before replying, “To be honest, I don’t want to talk about business matters on such a distressing day. However, for a company as big as Walter Group, one man’s words can’t decide everything. We will do a board meeting to pick the right executive director.”

“Mrs. Walter, why isn’t Anya here on such an important day?”

“Ha! I think you should ask this question for her…”

As I was saying, I suddenly heard the sound of the engine outside the cemetery. So, I looked in the direction of the sound and saw a stretch limo making its way into the cemetery, followed by a fleet of Mercedes.

“Look at the license plate. It seems to be Mr. Helsen’s car!” Suddenly the reporter exclaimed excitedly, as they all rushed towards the car.

Only then I realized that, indeed this car looked familiar. I had seen this car many times in the news, and I knew that it belonged to Kester Helsen.

There were two well-known wealthy young men in X city. One of them is Evan Cater and the other is Kester Helsen.

Kester is the second son of the casino magnate in V city, and he also runs an entertainment company called Shining Star Media. Most of the famous artists in the entertainment industry worked under his company.

However, like Evan, who loves to keep a low profile and rarely appears in front of the media, Kester is known as the man of publicity.

Then I saw the door of the car opened and Kester stepped out of the car first.

“Wow! It’s really Mr. Helsen!”

The press exclaimed excitedly as they ran over like flies, smelling blood.

However, my attention was on Kester, who walked towards the car behind him, opened the car door, and helped a woman get out of the car dressed in black clothes like a gentleman.

However, as soon as I saw the woman, my mind went black! The woman was none other than Anya! However, what shocked me the most was, why is she with Kester. What was their relationship?

As I was in shock, other people’s voices fell into my ears.

“Is this…? Wow, it’s Anya Walter!”

“You gotta be kidding, right? How can such a shameless woman can be appeared with Kester?”

As I still had not come out of the shock I saw just now, when I saw two adorable kids wearing tiny black clothes getting out of the car after Anya.

The boys seemed to be three or four years old.

And looking at their faces, my heart almost stopped beating.

“Mom, the boys looked exactly like….”

As I was lost in deep thought, my daughter’s anxious voice pulled my thoughts back to reality. As I was afraid, she would say something she shouldn’t, I held her hand and said, “Don’t talk nonsense!”

From her expression, I know what she was trying to say, as I also think the same. Those two boys looked exactly like Evan, especially in their eyes. They both looked like a mini version of Evan.

Who is their father?

Anya’s POV:

As I got out of the car and stood beside Kester with my kids, the whispering from the crowd fell into my ears…

“Oh my god, I can’t believe in my eyes. Did Anya hook up with Mr. Helsen after being kicked out from the Cater family?”

“Did her kids belong to Mr. Helsen?”

I didn’t want my kids to listen to all this nonsense, so I decided to leave quickly! However, before I could take a step, we were surrounded by the reporter's crowd with popping flashbulbs and mics, as they bombarded us with their questions…

“Mr. Helsen, are these children yours? What is your relationship with Miss Anya Walter?”

“Mr. Helsen, when did you two get together?”

“Mr. Helsen, is that true that Miss Walter is about to take over the Walter Group as the new executive director?”

Seemingly afraid that the group of reporters would hurt me and the kids, Kester looked at his bodyguards, not standing afar.

Seemingly understanding what he meant, the bodyguards surrounded us, making a human wall to protect us from the crowd.

Then, Kester smiled at me, turned to the reporters, and said, “Miss Walter and I are very good friends. Thank you for your concern.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the media was in an uproar, as this one sentence was enough for the reporters’ imagination.

Then, I held the hands of sons in my hand and entered the cemetery under the protection of the Kester’s bodyguards.

The reason why I decided to bring the kids here with me today is because I wanted my kids to bid a proper farewell to their great-grandfathers.

Four years ago, I left the country and there I gave birth to triplets, two boys and a girl. She was also supposed to come with me, however, because she was born with heart disease, she was not in good health, so she couldn’t come here with me.

So, I only bought my two sons with me.

As we walked over, I and Kester stood in front of my grandfather’s grave and made three deep bows. Then, I looked at my sons and said, “Kids, bow to your great-grandfather.”

The babies nodded obediently and bowed deeply, just like me and Kester has done before.

“Is that man Mr. Helsen? Kester Helsen?”

“Oh my God! He is not secretly married to this shameless woman, is he?”

“I can’t accept this! How can someone as perfect as Mr. Helsen be with such a shameless woman like Anya…”

As I stood there, the voices of the people from the crowds, fell into my ears. Even though I was not looking at them, I could feel people's gaze filled with envy, jealousy, and anger on my back.

And I can understand their feelings.

After all, Kester is the man in nearly every woman’s fantasy.

He was born into a wealthy family and had grown into a handsome young man with a promising future! He was no less popular than Evan. It’s just that Evan is cold as ice, who is hard to approach, and he is like a warm sun…

And now seeing him with me, a woman, who is shameless and incapable in their eyes, how can they not be angry?

However, I didn’t turn around or respond to them, as I had long stopped caring about what other people thought about me.

“Anya, uh… whose children, are they?” Suddenly my father’s voice came from behind me, pulling me from my thoughts.

As I turned around, I saw my father looking at my sons with shock in his eyes. “Dad, they are my children!” I replied with a calm voice. Then, I turned to look at my sons and said, “Jerry, Jason, this is your grandpa! Say hello to him!”

“Nice to meet you Grandpa!” The boys called out together.

However, he didn’t seem to look pleased after seeing his grandsons but rather looked disgusted. With an incredulous look on his face, he asked, “And, who is their father?”

I looked at my father with an expressionless face and didn’t say anything. To be honest, I know why he was asking this. After all, my sons resembled Evan and now Evan was Tara's fiancé.

He was afraid that if the father of my children was Evan, then I might use my sons to cause trouble in his beloved daughter’s love life.

Even though I am also his daughter, unlike Tara, I didn’t stay with him. I was growing up in abroad with my mother. And it was not until I was 12 years old after my mother died that my grandfather brought me back to the Walter family.

So, there is no deep bonding between him and me.

“Anya, I am not trying to blame you. But you should at least tell your family about the big issue, such as giving birth to two kids! After all, we are your family!” he said, pretending as if he cared about me.

However, the anxious look in his eyes betrayed his words.

I just wanted my kids to bid a proper farewell to their great-grandfather, so I brought them there. As for the other things, I didn’t want to talk about. So, I just lowered my head and remained silent.

Frank’s POV:

After learning that, these kids are my grandsons, I didn’t feel happy, but rather annoyed, especially, when I looked at their eyes, which resembles Evan so much. Those two boys looked so much like Evan, or one can say that they looked like a mini version of that man.

I am afraid that if Evan was their father, then Anya must have come to use them to meddle in Tara's love life. And if Evan is not their father…

Then, I was afraid that Anya was very likely to use the boys to seize more shares of the family inheritance.

In short, in any way, the situation is not favorable to me.

However, seeing that Anya lowered her head and did not reply to my question, my patience was running out. As I was about to lose my temper, I was interrupted by Kester.

Kester took a step forward, stood in front of Anya, and said, “Hi. Mr. Walter. I am Kester! I am Anya’s good friend.”

Hearing that I looked at Kester, seemingly calm down. Even though I had never met Kester before, his reputation was well-known, even to me.

‘If Kester was the father of Anya’s children, I could finally be relieved.’ Thinking that, I couldn’t help but ask, “Oh, hello! So, you and Anya? The kids?”

Kester paused for a few seconds, then he replied politely, “Anya and I are very close friends. So, I wanted to be there with her and kids on this grieving day.”

I must admit that his answer was a little too “Formal.” because he neither admitted that he was the father nor denied it.

However, thinking that highborn lads like Kester, marrying secretly and having a love child is not a big dead, I nodded slightly.

Evan’s POV:

As I stood in the corner and looked at the warm scene of the family of four in front of me, I couldn’t help but feel suffocated, as if something was blocking my heart vessels.

I tore my tie subconsciously, as my face turned as cold as ice.

I and Anya had merely broken up four years ago, but she already had kids around the age of three…

‘What could it mean?’

It means that she threw herself into another man’s arms as soon as I divorced her. Or maybe, she had long cheated on me while we were still married…

No wonder, she could walk away without looking back. Now wonder she could leave the 100 million dollars alimony behind.

It turned out that she had already found herself a new sugar daddy.

However, for a shameless woman like her, it was not a big deal to sleep with anyone, right? Wasn’t she always a scheming woman? Since she could somehow sleep with me six years ago, then, of course, she would have been able to seduce Kester again.

“How shameless!” I couldn’t help but curse.

The more I thought about it, the angrier I became. I don’t why I am feeling angry, since I already knew she was such a woman…

As my patience was running thin, I strode out without saying anything else to anyone.

“Evan? Evan!”

As I was walking forward, Tara's anxious voice came from behind me, but I didn’t stop as I wasn’t in the mood to deal with her.

However, as soon as I came out of the cemetery, the group of reporters swarmed over.

“Mr. Cater, what do you think about the relationship between your ex-wife and Mr. Helsen?”

“You lived with your ex-wife for two years, but she failed to get pregnant! Do you think the boys your ex-wife brought over today was yours?”

“When are you and Miss Tina getting married, Mr. Cater?”

I was already in a bad mood, and after the harassment of the reporters, I became even more furious, as I looked at my bodyguards coldly.

Getting my signal, they quickly came over and stopped the reporters from coming nearer me.

“No interviews!”

Then, they escorted me to my car.

“Evan! Evan!”

As I got into the car, I saw Taea's running over. She was about to open the door to get in, but I stepped on the gas and pulled out the car from the parking lot.
