Chapter 27

Author: Happy Breadwinner
Christina bit her lip so hard that she almost drew blood. She was the Gray family's heiress, yet she had to rely on an outsider to ensure her life at home went well.

She thought back to how miserable Beverly had been when the latter had first arrived in Alterra. Then, she hardened her heart and said, "I'll make sure Elaine's memorial is organized perfectly. I'll have Beverly moved to tears."

Since no one wanted her to have a good life, they would all suffer with her.

…

In the hospital ward, Beverly lay weak and groggy. She recalled the year her parents had divorced and she'd come to Alterra. She'd known nothing about the place and had ended up being abducted.

The abductors had demanded eight million dollars in ransom, which was everything Elaine had had in cash at the time.

Evan had brought the money to exchange it for her. However, after taking the money, the abductors had gone back on their word and tried to kill her.

Evan told them he was the Gray family's heir and was worth

    "James always wears a cold expression and does nothing but work all day."Beverly sat there listening to Tabitha's rapid-fire complaints about James and slowly added, "Yeah, he's quite aloof and doesn't talk much. I never know what he's thinking. Sometimes, I try to guess, but it's honestly very frustrating."Tabitha pressed on, "He even snapped at me earlier. He probably gives you a hard time often too.""Not really. But he was a bit harsh just now." Beverly's face flushed as she recalled the earlier incident, and she didn't continue."We should just ignore him from now on." Tabitha spoke as if she'd found an ally. She picked up a glass and handed it to Beverly. "Beverly, let's keep drinking."Beverly took the glass, remembering that the last time she'd had a drink was at the hotel when she'd first arrived in Ravenwell. Later, when she'd lived under James' watchful eye, she'd never touched alcohol again."He treats me like one of his subordinates, and he's stricter than my own p

    James called out toward the door, "Go to the Bronson estate and fetch one of Tabitha's dresses."The maid outside immediately acknowledged the order.While giving instructions, James didn't stop what he was doing. His hands slipped beneath the cloak to undo the side clasp near Beverly's chest. He had no experience with this and couldn't see what he was doing. He was relying solely on touch.Beverly felt wronged by James' mild scolding. He'd never spoken harshly to her before. She'd assumed she was just as skinny as Bernice, and with him sitting there, she'd grown nervous and had wanted to finish dressing quickly.Seeing Beverly on the verge of tears and noting her delicate demeanor, James felt unbearably tense and restless. He closed his eyes, suppressing his emotions.With no other choice, he loosened the cloak around her chest and unfastened the side clasp. The movement revealed a glimpse of her soft skin. He quickly drew the cloak closed again.Suddenly, the door creaked open.

    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
