Chapter 168

Author: Happy Breadwinner
A mechanical voice sounded from the phone. "Tomorrow at noon. Clouron. Five million dollars in cash."

"Let me see her. I need to confirm that she's still alive," Evan demanded, his voice tight with emotion.

But the call had disconnected abruptly.

"Evan, you can't go by yourself. If she really had been kidnapped, they would've demanded a ransom ages ago. It's highly suspicious that they would wait so long before calling. We'll call the police!" Heather urged, deeply worried.

But Evan ignored her and instructed the bodyguard, "Get the helicopter and the money ready."

Even if there was the slightest chance, he wasn't going to give up.

"Evan, you've made a lot of enemies over the years. This could be a trap one of them set up to lure you in and harm you."

Beverly had been kidnapped before too. Even though Evan had been anxious then, he'd approached things methodically—not recklessly like he was now.

Heather was deeply concerned about his mental state. For the past three months, he

    James immediately wrapped one hand around Beverly's slender waist and pulled her into his embrace."This is Mr. Romero's wife," he whispered in her ear.His voice was as calm as ever, yet it seemed to carry a hint of amusement.Beverly's face flushed when she realized her mistake. She lowered her gaze and said, "Sorry."Bernice Nash, however, didn't mind and smiled. "Everyone knows James is married to you. Don't worry, this is my family's event. If anyone dares act out in front of him, you won't need to lift a finger—I'll skin her alive myself. Your clothes are all dirty now. Come with me; I'll get something clean for you to change into.""Okay," Beverly responded softly, her hand resting on James' arm. She felt he was holding her too tightly, their closeness too intimate. It always reminded her of that restrained kiss on their wedding night.But with so many eyes on them, she couldn't ask him to let go. In the end, she had no choice but to let him hold her as they followed Berni

    "You keep saying you love me, that everything you do is for me, but all you've ever done is force me into a corner. How are you any different from the person who did this?"You disgust me even more than they do. Evan, I will never yield to you, nor will I ever forgive you."Beverly shook off Evan's hand, which had frozen mid-air, and left immediately with Tyler.Another set of five finger marks had appeared on Evan's cheek, but his gaze remained fixed on the hand she'd used to strike him. Even though it hurt where she'd hit him, he was still more worried that her hand might hurt more.Once, she'd cherished him so much that she could've never brought herself to hit him. Yet, now…Evan's heart ached."Mr. Gray?" Malcolm sounded concerned. "It seems she's seen through your intentions. What should we do next? Should we still proceed with opening this company?""Yes!" Evan stated icily. "I have to stay by her side even if she still despises me. Both Marvin and I have blacklisted Shie

    Beverly immediately tried to pull away, but Evan refused to let go."Let go of me! You don't want to be arrested, do you?" Beverly said angrily."Can you tell me why you're so angry first? I only came to deliver an opening ceremony invitation."Evan's dark eyes were deep and intense. He knew the reason.Tyler stormed forward and defended Beverly. "Mr. Gray, you're being utterly unreasonable. You just took 80 million dollars from Ms. Sinclair, and now you're warning investors not to put money into Shield Link Technologies!"Evan released Beverly's hand. "It wasn't me."Tyler, driven by a sense of justice, retorted, "An old friend of mine wanted to invest three million dollars in us to help with the cash flow, but your company just rejected his building materials. And you're even suing him for breach of contract!" "Which company?""Cochran Timber Corporation," Tyler replied.At that moment, Evan's assistant, Malcolm Pratt, spoke up. "That company uses substandard timber as a su

    "This construction company is under… Do you know the rising star in Ravenwell, Mr. Gray? Well, it's his company. He's publicly stated that no one is allowed to invest in Shield Link Technologies," Noel replied hesitantly."So, it's true!" Tyler was referring to what Marvin had just said and immediately looked toward Beverly.Beverly's face turned pale, though her eyes were blazing with anger."Tyler, how about I personally lend you the money?" Noel asked.Beverly shook her head at Tyler, so he answered, "No, it's okay. You're in a difficult position too. We'll find a way ourselves."After exchanging a few more words, they ended the call.Beverly sat in the passenger seat, gazing out the window. Suddenly, it occurred to her that she should have given away everything under Evan's name back when she'd left. That way, he wouldn't still have a hold over her now.The two of them headed to the bank.…Meanwhile, in the government building office, James sat on the sofa while Bianca sa

    "Cuz?" Tyler looked at the two in surprise.The wealthy businessmen following Marvin out were also bewildered. They were very familiar with Marvin's family members, and the woman before them clearly wasn't one of them."I'm not your cousin!" Seeing that Marvin didn't seem intent on causing trouble, Beverly put her phone away."Take a look at this." Marvin seemed like he'd come prepared.A bodyguard immediately brought a photo album to Beverly and began flipping through the pages one by one.Beverly's eyes widened. The photos were all of Elaine in her youth. Some were taken with adults in their prime, while others were with teenagers and children.The album stopped on a particular page, and Marvin pressed down on one of the photos with his tanned finger."This is me, and the one in Aunt Elaine's arms is Carly."So, it was indeed Elaine!Beverly looked up and met Marvin's gaze.Seeing the shock in her expression, Marvin knew she was at least beginning to believe him."Bev, I k

    Evan sat on the sofa by the window, a lit cigarette in his hand. Suddenly, the memory of Beverly resisting him at the Bronson estate flashed in his mind, and he stubbed out the cigarette in the ashtray.The intermittent sounds of the maid tidying up drifted from the living room.Just then, Lucas entered with a phone in hand. Bending down, he reported, "Sir, it's the director of the psychiatric hospital on the line.""What did he say?" Evan had no intention of taking the call.Lucas pressed the phone to his ear and spoke with the director for a few minutes."Ms. Beech attempted suicide."Evan's gaze instantly turned icy as he looked up.Lucas quickly added, "She was found in time and saved. But the director is worried there might be a next time—it's impossible to guard against it completely."Evan reined in his cold demeanor and asked calmly, "What does she want?" "She wants to be discharged and see Emmeline.""Send Emmeline to her.""Sir, do you mean lock her up there too?"
