Chapter 22

Author: Happy Breadwinner
On the third day, Beverly heard about the York family going bankrupt. That wasn't all—Lance's father, Thomas York, had suffered a stroke from sheer anger and hadn't pulled through despite being rushed to the hospital.

"You started a blood feud between two powerful families over a lowly mistress!" Heather roared at Christina while chasing her into Beverly's room.

Christina ducked behind Beverly.

"You made your brother bully the weak and burn bridges. How do you expect the families loyal to us to think of us now? I'm throwing you out today, if it's the last thing I do!" Heather shot the maids a look. They surged forward to seize Christina.

Christina tugged on Beverly's shirt. "Beverly, help me!"

In the past, Beverly would've stepped in to mediate fights between Heather and Christina. But now, all she did was remove Christina's hand from her shirt and leave the bedroom. Everyone was surprised by her reaction, but it wasn't the time to concern themselves over how she felt.

    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?"

    "Mr. Gray, mind your words," James uttered coldly as he looked at Evan and handed the pizza box to him. "Bev doesn't like junk food."He respected Harold's gesture, though.No sooner had James finished speaking than several court officers approached Evan."Mr. Gray, you've violated the court's restraining order. Please move out of the building immediately," one of the court officers stated.Evan frowned sharply and glanced at James, whose expression remained indifferent. James didn't even spare him a glance, turning instead to walk toward the elevator.Evan, still holding the pizza box, tried to follow but was stopped by Wendell.As he watched James' calm expression through the slowly closing elevator door, he scoffed and said, "Junk food? You don't understand Bev at all. You don't even know what she likes to eat."What makes you think you can compete with me? I heard the leaked recording, and that was definitely Bev's voice." Evan sounded almost triumphant. "She doesn't want yo

    "Don't eat junk food," James said softly. "You've lost so much weight."Hearing his concerned words, Beverly couldn't hold back her emotions and asked him, "Can you handle this situation?""No."James watched her leisurely, feeling a sense of relief. Thankfully, she wasn't so heartless as to not even ask."If it isn't handled well, will it affect your appointment?"James gently tugged at the bottom of her dress, ensuring it covered what needed to be concealed before he replied, "It'll only invite trouble if I take up that post at my young age. They will stop at nothing to prevent me from doing that."Beverly stared at his hands as they smoothed her dress, momentarily forgetting to pull away. So, if he couldn't resolve the situation, it would definitely affect his appointment. She didn't want to cause him trouble. She wanted to do something for him, even if it wasn't much."I—" Beverly looked at James, and his gaze met hers gently. She started to waver. "I can't let you move in
