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.

She has changed

Tara’s POV:

As I saw Evan’s car disappear in the distance, I couldn’t help but stomp my feet angrily.

When I saw Evan’s dark face, after seeing Anya with Kester, I couldn’t help but feel delighted. Thinking that it was a good chance for me, I ran after him. However, I didn’t expect him to ignore me and drive away…

All of a sudden, Evan’s indifferent behavior towards me comes into my mind, and I feel panicked in my heart.

In the eyes of the outsider, Evan and I had a very good relationship and we were about to get married… however, I was the only one who knew the truth behind our relationship.

Even though Evan was good to me all these years, I could see the frigidity in his eyes. Ever since he divorced Anya, he seldom smiles.

Over the years, he had completely become a workaholic and sometimes it would even take two or three months for me to look at him at once. And now when Anya is back and even has two boys who look like Evan…

‘What if Evan is the father of those kids? No… No… it can’t be…’

“Miss Walter, when are you and Mr. Cater getting married?”

“What do you think of your sister taking over the Walter Group?”

As I was lost in my thoughts, I didn’t even realize when I was surrounded by the group of reporters. As their questions fell into my ear, I pulled myself back from my thought…

However, looking at the group of reporters in front of me, I just stood there frozen, not knowing what to do. Since I had never been exposed to the media, I didn’t know how to handle them at all.

As I was stammering, thinking what to do, suddenly a hand pulled me aside. As I looked over to see, who he was, I saw my mother standing in front of me.

Seeing her, I couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.

My mother looked at the reporters and said, “Sorry, sorry! But we don’t have any interview today!” Saying that, she held my hand and was about to leave, but the reporters didn’t let us go…

“Please say something Mrs. Walter!” A reporter said.

With a polite smile on her face, my mother looked at the reporters confidently and said, “Thanks for your concern, fellows. Mr. Cater and my daughter’s wedding will be held on time. As for when and where, I can’t tell you for now. And I beg you, please leave some space for the young ones. Thank you!”

“What about Karl’s will then? Is it true that Anya is going to take over the Walter Group?”

“Well… um… of course that not true! That’s nothing but a rumor. How can we leave such a large group in the hands of an inexperienced girl.”

Saying that we were about to go, when the sudden commotion behind us, drew my attention. As I looked over, I saw Anya and Kester walking out of the cemetery together.

Looking at them together, I couldn’t help but clench my fists.

Kester was born into a wealthy family and had grown into a handsome young man with a promising future. He was no less than Evan.

How can someone like him be with a woman like Anya, who was kicked out of the Cater family?

How can that bitch be so lucky?

‘What so good about that bitch that every man got attracted her her?’

The more I thought about it, the angrier I got. I wanted to kill that bitch, but I had no choice but to control my emotions. After all, that old man had left all his inheritance to her and if anything happened to her, it would not be good for us.

Thinking that, I clenched my fists and tried my best to calm down.

“Anya, are you about to take over the Walter Group?”

“Did Karl make a will to bequeath the position of head of the family to you?”

Mia’s POV:

Seeing Anya surrounded by the reporters, I couldn’t help but feel delighted. I knew Anya very well. Ever since she was a child, she was a stupid and cowardly pushover. This was also the reason, I said everything in front of reporters with so much confidence.

Considering Anya’s personality, it will not me too long to manipulate her and make her give up on Walter Group’s shares.

How can someone like her know how to deal with reporters?

I wanted to see Anya make a fool of herself in front of the reporters, but Anya’s next sentence was like a slap in my face.

“Yes,” Anya answered in a calm and crispy voice.

“So, Miss Walter, is it okay to reveal the contents of the will?” A reporter asked.

“About the will, I have delegated full power to my lawyer to handle it. There will be a press conference to announce the contents of the will! Thank you for your concern.”

As I saw Anya handle the press so confidently, I couldn’t help but grit my teeth in anger.

‘This little bitch! It’s only been a couple of years, but she is not that stupid girl anymore!’ I couldn’t help but curse inwardly.

“Anya, don’t say anything in front of the reporters! Did you consult your father about the will? Did you consult the Board of Directors? The old man’s just been buried, and you are trying to take over your father’s position as Chairman?” I said sarcastically, glaring at Anya.

Hearing that, Anya looked straight into my eyes and said, “I am just following Grandpa’s wishes. If you have any questions or complaints, please contact my lawyer.” Her eyes were calm and cold, I couldn’t see what she was thinking…

After Anya finished speaking, she turned around and followed Kester into the car, completely ignoring me… this kind of Anya made me feel a little panicky.

“Anay!” As I saw her leaving the car, my face turned livid with anger.

I can’t believe that a few years could change her so much! It must be Kester who was supporting her behind her back, that was why she was jumping so much. Otherwise, with Anya’s intelligence, how would she dare to treat me like this…’ I couldn’t help but comfort myself in my heart.

A board meeting

Mia’s POV:

Three days later.

A board meeting was held in the Walter Group.

In addition to me, Frank, my both sons Harry and David, and the two other directors, Mr. Patel and Mr. White, all of them are present at the meeting as we agreed before.

However, what shocked me most was that Evan was also present in the meeting room. Even though Evan had the 15% shares of the Walter Group, he had never participated in any board meeting or taken part in any management issue related to the company…

What’s more, he had only brought those shares out of goodwill, so it was even more shocking for me to see him here.

“It’s really strange! Mr. Cater is also here!”

Seeing Evan here, Mr. White and Mr. Patel were eager to fawn on him, as if he was the one who controlled the whole Group. But I can’t blame them, as Evan has the power to destroy the Walter Group…

After all, in front of the Carter Group, Walter Group was like an aunt in front of an elephant.

However, Evan just sat on the chair silently, cold and aloof, showing no interest in the two men.

Even though he was just sitting, his aura was so strong that these two men didn’t dare to approach him.

At that moment, the door of the meeting room opened and Anya walked in, black-rimmed glasses on her face. She was wearing a black suit with a white shirt underneath.

There was light makeup on her face, and together with the red lipstick, even though I hate to admit, she looked businesslike and gorgeous.

A complete career lady.

Anya’s POV:

As I walked into the office, everyone was already sitting there. As I looked around, my eyes fell on Evan, who was sitting in the corner, with a cold face. Seeing him here I was quite shocked, as it was rare for him to attend such meetings.

However, I quickly regained my composure.

“All non-essential personnel, please leave! This is a board meeting, not your family meeting at home!” I said indifferently, looking at Mia and her two sons.

Hearing my words, Mia’s mouth trembled as she said, “Whoa! Aggressive, aren’t you? I was almost convinced that you have already been the Chairman since you are acting like one. Everyone here, Anya is more qualified than you. We are all more capable at least than you of taking over the position of Chairman. The Walter Group is too much of a big deal to be left in your hands. You think, you an immature girl, can handle it?”

Then I saw, Harry, a bad-tempered lad, slam the table furiously and he stood up. “Mom is right! Who are you to take the Chairman’s seat from Dad? What have you done for the Walter Group? You are just making a fuss here. Grandpa was old, and his brain wasn’t functional anymore. So that doesn’t count. Get out of here, or I will kick you out myself!”

Hearing that my lawyer, Mr. Clement, nudged his glasses and said sternly, “Mr. Walter, Mrs. Walter, please watch your tongue, if not then don’t blame my client for suing you for intimidation and libel!”

“Who are you to bluff me? Can she even afford a lawyer?”

Harry had always been the bully in the family since he was a kid and treated himself as the heir. Now that, his property had been taken away from him, how could someone like him not be furious?

However, I had long stopped entertaining them.

I just looked merely at Harry who was jumping like a mad dog, and called to my assistant standing at the door…

Soon, eight burly security men came in.

I looked at them and said, “Send all non-essential personnel out for a time being!”

“I am staying! I will see what you will do!” Harry said arrogantly.

Since Harry was also boss to them, the security guards didn’t dare to use so much force, so they looked at Mia and others and gestured for them to leave.

Seeing that, Harry seemed to become more arrogant as he said, “This is my father’s company. Come and get me if you dare. But I am telling you, I am not going anywhere. What can you do to me?” Harry said stubbornly.

“Anay, who do you think you are, huh? Let me tell you, don’t push me further. Otherwise, I don’t mind slapping you even though you are a woman.”

Saying that he pounced on me.

However, before his hand could touch my face, I ducked, and his hand missed my face. Then, I caught Harry’s hand, and pushed him aside, causing his head to smash against the table.

The next second, Harry’s lips were cut, and blood flowed from his lips.

“What… are you doing? Oh, Harry, my son! Are you alright?”

Seeing her son like this, Mia jumped from her seat, wailing like a shrew.

However, I didn’t pay attention to the mother and son pair, turned to the security and said, “Get them out here!”

“Yes, Miss Walter!”

Then, the head of security was no longer polite, as they seized Harry and others and sent them out.

Looking at the blood on my hand, I couldn’t help but frown. “Excuse me, I need to use the washroom.”

Saying that I left the meeting room and went to the bathroom. As I was about to open the tap to wash the blood stain on my hands, I heard the sound of a door opening from behind him.

Subconsciously, I looked back to see who it was. However, I was shocked to see the person who walked in.

It was Evan.
