Chapter 102

Author: Happy Breadwinner
Words like "heartbroken" or "lost" couldn't even begin to capture how Harold felt in that moment.

Sitting in the back seat of the Rolls-Royce, he reached for Beverly's soft hand and rested his cheek against her smooth arm as he gazed at her with longing.

Whenever he'd done this in the past, Beverly would always gather him into her arms, kiss his small forehead, and whisper jokes in his ear to cheer him up.

"Mom…" Harold had barely spoken when Beverly pulled her arm away from him, her face still turned toward the scenery passing by outside the window. She didn't even spare him a glance.

He thought of how she'd ignored how Christina had smacked his backside yet fussed over the tiny scrape on Timothy's palm. He also thought of how she hadn't prepared a birthday gift for him but had given Timothy a giant toy robot.

Harold fought back his tears, silently and stubbornly knotting his small hands together as anger flared in his eyes.

Seated beside him, Evan saw everything.

    Beverly staggered back. The heels of her stilettos caught on the weeds, causing her to tip backward.The pain she expected never came. Instead, she fell into a warm embrace. Her eyes met Evan's panicked gaze. It was a look she'd never seen on his face before.Weary beyond measure, Beverly felt her reason slip away. Her poor night vision made the figure before her blend into the darkness. His chiseled features softened into a blur, his dark eyes reduced to black and white.The man of calm maturity seemed to be shrouded in a haze, and before her stood the radiant youth he'd once been. She felt as though she were seeing the Evan from a decade ago—unburdened by restraint, all bright confidence and boldness.That was the man who'd loved her enough to take her to his parents, Reynard Gray and Heather, and sworn he wouldn't marry anyone except her. And he'd done just that.Back then, her heart had brimmed with happiness.Chaotic footsteps rushed in. Heather threw her arms around Beverly

    Horatio brought Timothy and Harold out, and the doctor explained that neither was seriously hurt.Evan pulled Beverly along with Harold and bid the others farewell.Noticing Timothy's lonely gaze fixed on the family of three disappearing in the distance, Damien ruffled the boy's hair."I'll do my best, Timmy."Timothy nodded. "Harry likes Millie's mom more. He's not nice to Ms. Sinclair at all. Not only does he always make her upset, but he won't let her be my mom either. That's so mean of him."But today Ms. Sinclair said I was a good boy, so I'll keep working harder to be even better. I won't make her mad, and I'll grow up to protect her. Then, she wouldn't want Harry anymore. She'll want me instead."His childish words brought a quiet smile to Damien's face.But he knew such a wish could never come true. Harold was Beverly's own flesh and blood, so no matter what mistakes he made, she would always love him, accept him, and help him. It was something that would never change.

    When Beverly saw Evan suddenly appear, she was thrown into panic. She wasn't sure if he'd overheard her conversation with Damien.As for the photo? She'd never taken a picture with Damien before.She glanced at him and saw that his brows were faintly furrowed as he fixed his sharp gaze on the photo in Evan's hand. His unusual reaction made her wonder whether the photo could be real.She reached out and took it, her eyes widening in shock.Whether hacker or hacktivist, once her true identity was exposed, she would be in grave danger. That was why she'd completely erased her tracks after she was recruited by James and remained hidden at the base except when deployed on missions.And this photo was from when she was 20 years old, captured the moment she'd revealed herself while rescuing Damien.She remembered that was the only time she'd ever been caught on camera during an operation during those two years after she'd been recruited.Beverly's hand trembled as she turned the photo

    "Be your guru?" Beverly chuckled. "I've never really thought about that.""Professor, please put in a good word for me." Horatio called out to Damien several times before the latter finally snapped out of his thoughts."Bev, Horatio and Bianca are both quite capable. You should consider it," Damien said.Noticing the heaviness in Damien's expression, Beverly guessed he was still troubled over Timothy nearly drowning."Alright, I'll think about it."Harold crossed his arms and said with the gravity of an old man, "You're all so weird. My mother's just a housewife. She can't do anything. When she goes to work, she just plays a game called Minesweeper. Even I know how to play it."He'd been watching superhero shows and idolized them, so of course he knew what a guru was.Timothy immediately objected, "Ms. Sinclair is amazing! Ms. Sinclair, I want you to be my guru too!""No way! She's my mom, so she can't be your guru. And besides, she's a woman, and women can't be gurus," Harold

    Harrison immediately pulled up the surveillance footage from outside the lounge.The screen showed Evan rushing out of the lounge, followed shortly after by Cindy. But no one else left in between."That's impossible! I saw Beverly and Professor Reed come out of the pantry and rush through the lounge with my own eyes!" Cindy stared at the footage and clutched at Evan's sleeve in disbelief. "Evan, you have to believe me, I really—"Her desperate gesture instantly drew murmurs of disapproval from the crowd.Suddenly, one of the Danes' household staff members seized her hand. "Mrs. Dane asks that you refresh your makeup, as the engagement ceremony is about to begin.""Evan!" Cindy wanted to continue explaining herself, but she was already being dragged away.Evan watched the footage on his phone again and again but still came up empty."Send this video back to the company and have the IT department check if there's any tampering," he ordered Harrison.Harrison immediately nodded an

    At Harold's words, the crowd couldn't help but whisper among themselves."Isn't Cindy Mrs. Gray's younger sister? How could she let her own nephew call her 'Mom'? Mrs. Gray's such a good woman. Not only did she provide a generous wedding gift, but she also upheld Cindy's reputation. So, how could Cindy teach her daughter to insult Mrs. Gray like that? She's an ungrateful wretch, alright.""I heard Mr. Gray was registered as the little girl's birth father. If it weren't for Calvin marrying Cindy, I'd still wonder whose child she really is. Just look at her—doesn't she have Mr. Gray's eyes and brows?"As the rumors swirled, Amber smashed her crystal glass to the ground, her eyes darkening as they locked on Cindy.Cindy lowered her head even more and pulled Emmeline behind her.Sensing Amber's displeasure, Evan furrowed his brows deeply. He then yanked Harold forward and thrust him in front of Timothy."Enough. Harry, apologize to him.""I'm sorry. I shouldn't have pushed you into
