Reuben stood at the door, still filled with rage as he stared at Julie’s dead body like he would slice it into pieces. He had returned to the building only to hear from one of his men that Julie had gone to Emily’s room with Evelyn. He had rushed up with speed because he knew Julie might harm Emily—only to see her almost stabbing Emily with a knife.

His soul almost left his body that instant, and he had shot her with his gun. He felt no regret for killing her; instead, more rage burned inside him. He had warned her never to touch Emily.

“Emily,” Reuben called as he went closer to her, not caring that he had just killed someone.

Emily slowly opened her eyes, breathing hard. Her knees gave up, and she almost fell, but Reuben quickly caught her.

“Are you okay?” he asked as he held her from falling. He led her to the bed and made her sit down.

Emily was breathing heavily. She had thought she was going to die. Her body was still trembling from fear and shock.

“Shit,” Reuben cursed as he no

  • The Beautiful Wife Of Mr Rowland    Chapter 232

    George stood on the balcony of his apartment, the night breeze brushing gently against his face as he answered the phone. The city below glowed with light, but his mind was fixed on the deep voice coming through the line.“Sir?” he said respectfully as Denovon’s tone came through.“It’s about Evelyn,” Denovon said calmly. “My wife and I ran into the person she said bullied her.”George’s hand tightened slightly on the phone. “Jane Turner?”“Yes,” Denovon replied. “My wife wants her to pay for everything she did, but I told her you would handle it. You know what to do, right?”George let out a slow sigh. “I know what to do, sir. But Evelyn doesn’t want revenge.”He remembered the day Evelyn told him everything — how she had been bullied, how deeply it had scarred her, and how it had made her hate Emily for years. When she had finally opened up, he had checked the marks on her body, and each one told a painful story. It broke something inside him. He had wanted to go after those who hur

    Emily sat beside Denovon at the back seat of the car, her fingers twisting restlessly in her lap. The low hum of the engine filled the silence, but it did nothing to quiet the storm in her heart. Her chest still tightened with anger all over again.Earlier at the mall, she had wanted to call the police right there and make Jane pay for everything she did to Evelyn. But Denovon had pulled her back, stopping her before she could make the call, and Jane had taken that chance to run off with her sister, Serena.Emily turned her head slightly, looking at Denovon beside her. His arm rested along the back of the seat, his eyes fixed on the road ahead through the tinted glass. Even though his face looked calm, she could tell from the tightness of his jaw that he was deep in thought.“Hubby,” she called softly.Denovon turned to her immediately, his expression softening the moment their eyes met. “Hmm?”“Was there really nothing we could have done?” Emily asked in a low, frustrated voice. “Jan

    Emily walked toward Vivienne with a gentle smile. She and Denovon had first gone to the hospital for a check-up earlier that morning and had stopped by the mall afterward to get a few things.Denovon had mentioned that tomorrow was Leo’s father’s birthday and that they would be going to his place to celebrate. Of course, they couldn’t show up empty-handed.Emily hadn’t expected to see Vivienne here. She still felt grateful to her for speaking kindly to her that day at the office. It had been the same day Evelyn was brought up to see her. Evelyn had apologized in tears, and that was when Emily finally learned —the level of bullying and assault Evelyn had endured in school just for being an illegitimate child.Evelyn’s body had been covered with scars—faint blade marks and lighter burns that still hadn’t faded. Emily had been heartbroken. She never imagined Evelyn had suffered so much and in silence, never mentioning it to anyone, not even her own mother.“Good to see you again,” Emily

    Vivienne parked her car neatly in the mall's parking lot and exhaled, checking her purse before stepping out.She had spent half the morning thinking about what to get for Leo’s father, whose birthday was tomorrow, and she still didn’t know what to buy since he seemed to have almost everything.Adjusting the strap of her handbag, she started walking toward the mall entrance when a familiar voice, sharp and dripping with disdain, cut through the air.“Well, if it isn’t the so-called famous fiancée,” Serena Turner said, standing just a few steps ahead with a younger woman whom Vivienne recognized as her sister. Both were dressed elegantly, their expensive heels clicking against the pavement as they approached.Vivienne sighed deeply. She really didn’t want to see or talk to them. If she had known they would be here, she would have gone to another mall instead.These past few weeks, Serena had not allowed her to rest. She still hadn’t accepted the fact that Leo and Vivienne were together

    The food arrived not long after, and before Reuben could say a word or stand up to get it from the delivery man, Claire had already rushed to the door to collect it.She placed the bags on the table, humming happily as she unpacked them one by one.“Finally,” she said with a sigh of relief. “I thought I was going to die of hunger tonight.”Reuben leaned back on the couch, watching her quietly. The way her face lit up over food was something he couldn’t explain.Claire opened one of the containers, took a bite, and let out a soft moan.“Oh, this is so good,” she said with her mouth full. “You should try this one too, Reuben.”Reuben’s heart skipped and pounded at the sound of her soft moan, and he quickly looked away. He didn’t understand what was happening to him. How could her innocent sound make his body react like that?“It’s really good. You should try it,” Claire said again as she ate.Reuben didn’t answer. He simply stood up and walked over to the table. Pulling out a chair, he

    Reuben pushed the door of his apartment open and stepped in quietly. The silence inside felt heavy like his heart. He shut the door behind him and stood there for a moment, staring blankly at the floor.Emily's voice still echoed in his head.“You can’t just leave like that, Brother Reuben… We have barely known each other yet. We are family.”Her trembling voice replayed over and over, stabbing at his heart each time. He rubbed his face roughly, sighing deeply.“Damn it,” he muttered under his breath.He wanted to leave. He needed to leave. Staying here would only make things harder for him. He didn’t want to face the Rowland family again. He wanted to go back to his men, to the life that made sense ...simple, cold, and distant. But no matter how much he tried to convince himself now, Emily’s pleading eyes wouldn’t leave his mind. The way she had looked at him, it felt like someone had reached inside and twisted something in his chest.Reuben walked into the living room and dropped on
