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.

Are you insane?

Anya’s POV:

“This is the ladies room. You are in the wrong place.” I said coldly, continuing to wash the blood off my hands.

However, instead of leaving, Evan scoffed and turned on the tap to wash his hands.

“I have underestimated you. I thought you were infatuated! But I didn’t expect you to find a new customer so quickly.”

Hearing that my eyes filled with anger, however, I didn’t say anything as I didn’t want to continue this conversation anymore.

I shook the water off my hand and walked straight.

However, before I could reach the door, Evan grabbed my arm at once and violently pinned me against the wall.

“Who is the father of your kids? When did you hook up with Kester Helsen?”

Hearing his arrogant words, I couldn’t help to sneer. ‘We have already divorced for so many years? How dare he ask questions from me? Did he still believe that I am obliged to obey him?’

I tried to break free from his grasp, but he was too strong for me. At last, I glared at him and said coldly, “Mr. Cater, please behave yourself. If you want to talk about work, then please wait in the office. And if you want to talk about the personal matter, then I am sorry, I have nothing to say to you.”

Evan curled up his lips in a sullen smile, as he leaned closer and closer to me.

Seeing that, I couldn’t help but frown, my heart beating nervously!

Back then, Evan had complete dominance and control over me. Even though I had already away from him for so many years, I was still had been deeply traumatized by him.

The nerve on my body still retained the fair of him.

“Let me go of Evan! This is a place where I work! Don’t you dare…”

However, before I could finish my sentence, he cut me off!

“What are you afraid off? Are afraid that they might call you a slut for seducing your ex-husband in the washroom?”

“Are you insane? I am warning you. Show me respect!”

“A slut like you deserve no respect at all!”

“Evan Cater, don’t go to far!”

Saying that, I struggled violently, in an attempt to break free from him.

However, it had no use.

Evan was pinning my arms to the wall, making it impossible for me to struggle! What’s more, his aura was so oppressive that it made it difficult for me to breathe.

“Don’t you love it when I do such a things to you? Ha, I didn’t expect even after four years, you still didn’t stop pretending to be innocent!”

As he said, he took off my black-rimmed glasses and looked into my eyes with a wicked smile.

“It’s exactly that look on your face! I bet, Kester loves it, too, doesn’t he?”

At that moment I was completely flustered and shouted, “You Bastard! What are you doing. Stop it…”

However, Evan didn’t stop, instead, he grinned in satisfaction, as if my panicking expression made him happy.

Suddenly, the images of when we were still married flashed in my mind like a movie…

He was just like that. Every time he was in a mad mood or felt irritated, he liked to punish me with his most overbearing and aggressive method whenever we were in bed.

And seeing him like this, it seemed that even after four years, he still hadn’t changed at all.

“What? Are you afraid of being seen? Are you afraid that after Kester know that he might dump you, right? Just cut it off, Anya Walter! I am sick of your dirty schemes.”

I was furious. “Then tell me Mr. Cater, what my schemes could possibly be?” I sneered coldly.

“Didn’t we agreed while getting divorced that you will leave the X city forever and never come back! Why did you break the deal? To make me sick on purpose?” Evan said, raising my brows, with the murderous look on his face.

“I came back for my grandfather’s inheritance, it has nothing to with you. I said, behave yourself and show me some respect! Let go of me!”

“And I have also told you that a woman like you, didn’t deserve any respect, haven’t I?” Evan sneered, his big hand running over my body.

“Evan, we are divorced! What’s more, I don’t owe you anything. So, don’t disrespect me like this! Get your hands off me, or I will sue you for molestation!”

“Ha! You, sue me? Don’t make me laugh! Have you forgotten how you have drugged me and begged me to have a sex with you. It’s only been four years, how can you forget that?”

“For the last time, I didn’t drug anyone, especially you! I am the victim here, not you!”

“Ha! Just keep your lies to yourself, I am not interested in them!”

I took a deep breath and calmed myself down. Then, I looked into his eyes and said, “Fine, believe whatever you want to believe! I have figured it out just now that there are many men out there who are so much better than you! Let me tell you, divorcing you is the best thing ever happened to me.”

Evan’s POV:

Hearing Anya’s words, my face turned dark and I was completely pissed off.

The thing that bothered me was not that she came back, but that she came back with her sons with another man! Even though we have been divorced for so long, I don’t know why I still feel cheated or even betrayed.

I can stop loving or abandoning anyone, anything at any time! But I just can’t accept the fact that my toy was taken away by someone else!

As I saw the happy smile on Anya’s face, I felt irritated. Thus, I lowered my head and kissed her furiously.

I wanted to let her know what is the consequence of irritating me.

“Mm… get your hands off…” Anya struggled.

Suddenly, I let her go. Looking at her mockingly, I sneered, “Do you think that I will touch you again? Don’t flatter yourself! I won’t have sex with a whore who has been sleeping with the others. It disgusts me.”

After I finished speaking, I let go of her resentfully and walked out.

However, before I reached at the door, Anya’s angry voice come from behind me.

“Evan Cater, Stop!”
