Chapter 278

Author: Happy Breadwinner
"Bev, what happened?" Damien noticed the documents by Beverly's side. "Did Evan give those to you?"

Evan alone possessed anything that belonged to Elaine.

"They're just some things my mother left me." The moment Beverly heard Evan's name, her expression darkened.

"It's only natural for Evan to hand them over to you since they rightfully belong to you. He didn't do anything to you, did he?" Damien asked with concern.

Beverly shook her head.

Damien let out a sigh of relief. With the military hospital full of guards, even if Evan had wanted to do something, it would have been impossible.

He studied Beverly's expression. "All Evan did was bring a few things over, so why is Chief Bronson so angry?"

As far as Damien could remember, James rarely lost his temper. But whenever he did, someone always paid the price.

"I hope he didn't make things difficult for you."

James was angry? Beverly hadn't noticed that at all. She glanced toward the room divider, but from where she sat, she coul

    The next day was also the highlight of James' life.Sunlight refracted off the glass table, its rays turning into colorful hues as James' face gradually came into view.After her meal, Beverly went to Skyscape Tech to discuss her handover. She then returned to Shield Link Technologies."I'll straighten out the handover with Skyscape Tech. You and Jake will only need to manage the employees here as well as the collaboration with the government. As for the new projects, we'll set them aside for now."Having said all that, Beverly added, "But our priority is to improve the staff's overall performance. I've asked Mr. Henderson to transfer two members of his staff from the Security Center here."They're both elites in the IT industry, and they'll be here once a week to provide training for our staff. I'll leave them in your care.""Alright." Tyler hesitated and said, "Ms. Sinclair, I heard that Chief Bronson… Chief Bronson's due for a huge promotion… You won't be winding up this compa

    Harold's heart finally settled back into place. Withdrawing his gaze, he focused on the ball in front of him, and a proud smile appeared on his small face."Timmy might not like playing soccer, but if he finds out I'm going to Britas, he'll definitely be super jealous."Beverly hummed softly in response before stepping out of the lounge, and Trudy immediately followed. Beverly shot her a glance but said nothing.She drove out of the government complex and headed home first. After diverting Trudy's attention elsewhere, she retrieved the passports and other important documents for herself and the two kids.Then, she went to the Security Center. The design proposal for the facial recognition transmitter had been finalized at last."Shield Link Technologies is very busy, so I'll guide them remotely from now on," she said to Hugo quietly.From the second floor, she could see the entire Security Center in front of her. It was as large as dozens of soccer fields, filled with tens of tho

    James would often stand at the doorway, his gaze impossibly gentle as he watched Esther and the other children. He was always especially soft-hearted around kids.Beverly didn't think she was worth him denying himself like this.After steadying herself, she said calmly, "Yes, you're juggling really well, Harry. Great job!"Harold's lips curved into a grin, and he kicked the ball even more energetically.Beverly reached out and ruffled Esther's hair, then turned to Trudy, who was standing quietly to the side."I've got things under control here. You can get back to what you were doing."Trudy looked up. James had ordered her not to let Beverly out of her sight."Mrs. Bronson…""Yes?""Thank you for getting me this job."But Beverly was the reason she was able to get this job. Beverly was the reason for the turning point in her life, and it could just as easily come to an end because of Beverly.Beverly gave a faint smile. "You're very outstanding.""I'll be right outside the

    Not long after, Trudy returned."Chief, Mrs. Bronson has fallen asleep on the couch."James' hand rested lightly on the armrest.Wendell shot a glance at Nolan, who was still talking nonstop. Nolan wisely shut his mouth. He'd gotten scolded by Bianca yesterday, so he was pretending not to hear anything involving Beverly today, lest he get another lecture."This is the schedule for tomorrow. Mrs. Bronson hasn't seen it yet," Wendell said, handing over a document. "The higher-ups would like her to attend."James' fingers curled slightly, his gaze dim. "It's not the right time."Suddenly, he recalled what Beverly had said to him yesterday about wanting to step into the light and live in the open.In the end, he reached for the document, then stood up and walked toward the lounge.The door opened just a crack. The faint light from the hallway spilled onto the floor, stretching his shadow long.She was lying on the couch, her face streaked with dried tears. A thin blanket was drape

    Beverly also couldn't tell whether the tears streaming down her face were from physical pain or heartbreak alone.James' icy words continued to echo in her ears."I won't divorce you. You can leave, but Esther stays."…By the time James stepped out of the lounge, it was already 2:00 am.The special forces operator standing guard outside jumped in surprise."Chief, do you need anything?""Stand guard here. Don't let my wife leave. Make sure she doesn't even take a single step out of the room."The operator nodded. Seeing the stony expression on James' face, he felt a chill run down his spine.James cast one last look at the door before striding toward his office.William emerged from the adjacent room, his eyes bleary with sleep, and found James pacing back and forth in his office. He'd never seen James so agitated before.James was dressed in silk pajamas, the top two buttons undone, revealing a patch of skin on his chest marked with numerous scratch marks. When his gaze fe

    Beverly ended the call right after saying those words.That was when she caught the faint scent of ink in the air. Startled, she turned around and met James' cold, stern eyes, and she stumbled back in shock until her back pressed against the floor-to-ceiling windows.Outside, the raging storm battered the glass, and the chill seeped through the thin fabric on her back and into her skin, making her shiver.The lights were off, and the room was quiet and dim, filled only with the relentless rustling of wind and rain. And yet, in that moment, she could clearly see the fury burning in James' eyes.He rarely lost his temper and was usually calm and gentle. But now, the air that surrounded him was unnervingly icy.A dull ache throbbed in Beverly's heart. Looking at him, she didn't dare clutch her chest. She could only allow the pain to spread unchecked.James took a step forward, and she shrank back, as if startled. Noticing her recoil, he froze in place. He couldn't rein in his anger
