Chapter 318

Penulis: Happy Breadwinner
Damien recklessly swung his fist at James again, but James grabbed his fist and tugged, hurling the former over his shoulder.

There was a thundering thud as Damien hit the floor.

James stared down his nose imperiously at Damien. "I ought to punish you for having romantic intentions for my wife, but I still think of you as a friend, Damien. Don't do this again."

With that, he stepped over Damien.

Damien scrambled to his feet, undeterred and still baiting for a fight. However, one of the plainclothes special forces operators, Ramon Shafer, stopped him.

"Professor Reed, you can't win against Chief Bronson. He enlisted in the military at a young age and retired as a first-rank special forces operator, badge and all. Did you honestly think he needs us to protect him?"

Ramon noted Damien's scowl. There was no telling which part of Damien had taken the fall the hardest, but Ramon quickly led him to the couch to sit anyway.

Damien spiraled into self-doubt. That being said, no one else r

    "I won't let you down again," Evan continued.No sooner had he spoken than a swarm of reporters rushed in, their cameras flashing wildly.Beverly was stunned to see James standing behind the crowd of reporters. She forcefully pulled her hand free from Evan's grasp and took a step back.Thinking of James' political future, she said, "That's nothing but wishful thinking, Mr. Gray. How could I possibly leave James?"She then walked forward, and the reporters parted to make way, only then noticing James standing behind them. James approached her, and Beverly linked her arm with his.The reporters went into a frenzy, snapping photos and murmuring among themselves."So, it's Mr. Gray who can't let go and is pestering her.""Chief Bronson and Mrs. Bronson look perfectly loving to me.""The trending topic from earlier has already disappeared, and several accounts spreading rumors have been suspended."Remarks like these drifted through the crowd intermittently.Wendell seized the mom

    Beverly recalled Cameron's questions and what she'd said to James at their wedding ceremony."So, the misconduct the rumors refer to—"James suddenly grasped her hand, making her trail off. Then, he said, "It's not your fault.""How could it be our fault? Someone is clearly scheming behind the scenes." Wanda glanced at James holding Beverly's hand, then continued. "Now, with the news breaking out that you and Evan live in the same building…"She looked intently at Beverly. "Bev, the public review period is 25 days. Until then, could you move back to Rosewood Manor and live with James? It would help dispel the rumors."It was also exactly 25 days until the divorce would become official.Beverly withdrew her hand from James' grasp.James released her and turned to Wendell, who suggested, "Moving suddenly might make the public think we're doing it deliberately. Perhaps Chief Bronson could move to the apartment instead?"The room fell silent. All three of them were looking at Bev

    Beverly snapped her head toward James, who turned his gaze toward her calmly and drew her into his embrace.The reporter who'd spoken up, Cameron Wyatt, continued, "As far as I know, you're currently living with your ex-husband and are separated from Chief Bronson."He held out several photographs, and the cameras in the room immediately focused on them.The photos showed Beverly entering a building, followed closely by Evan just minutes later. They were captured from the same angle and perspective.When Cameron received no reaction, he pushed the microphone toward Beverly and demanded, "Would you care to comment on these rumors?"Nestled in James' arms, Beverly looked up at him. She had no idea what was happening, but the situation was clearly turning against him.James glanced coldly at the intrusive microphone, and Wendell immediately stepped forward to push it away. He then handed a ring box to James.Taking out the very wedding ring from the ceremony, James lifted Beverly's

    After saying his piece, Evan reached for the door and closed it behind him for Beverly.She instantly stepped forward and locked the door. Only then did her taut nerves relax, and she leaned weakly against the door.Her gaze drifted to the TV screen. The gala was being streamed live, and a magician was performing at that moment. He was inviting front-row audience members to participate, and Beverly caught sight of Esther sitting in James' lap, looking eager, excited, and absolutely delighted.Esther picked a playing card and grinned widely as she said, "I know this! It's a three!"Suddenly, the faces of the surrounding adults tensed, and the broadcast abruptly cut to an advertisement.Beverly panicked. She rushed to open her laptop and hacked into the station's broadcasting network, where livestreamed programs were backed up. She played the footage back and saw a dark shadow toppling toward the crowd, heading straight in Esther's direction just before it cut to the advertisement

    Beverly and Tyler visited several venture capital firms, only to be turned away at every single one. They either claimed that the company's technology wasn't up to par or that they simply weren't considering investing in that area at the moment.The bank gave a more positive response. Two million dollars wasn't a problem, but Beverly would need to wait for approval.Stepping out of the elevator, she noticed that the apartment across from hers was being cleaned, as if new neighbors were preparing to move in. The cleaning crew coming and going looked very down-to-earth, and they even smiled and greeted her warmly.Beverly unlocked her front door with her fingerprint. The moment she opened it, a small figure launched into her arms. She knelt down and hugged Esther, inhaling the little girl's sweet scent, and most of her fatigue and worries melted away."Mommy, I missed you so much," Esther said as she planted a kiss on Beverly's cheek.Beverly felt her heart melt. The rejections, t

    "You don't mind, do you, Mr. Gray?" Tyler asked.Acquiring shares wasn't like haggling over groceries at a local market—the negotiations required a proper basis.Still, Tyler glanced at the stock gift agreement. He couldn't help but think that Beverly could reclaim the shares without spending a dime, but unfortunately, she wasn't willing.If she wasn't willing, then so be it, but that didn't mean she should take a loss."I don't mind," Evan said.Beverly opened her wallet and saw the black card inside. It held Elaine's life insurance payout. She didn't want to spend the money, but now, she had no choice. She wanted nothing whatsoever to do with Evan anymore.Still, she couldn't afford to waste money either. This was all she had, and she still needed to raise Esther. After some hesitation, she called Wendell.Wendell reviewed the electronic accounts and gave her a valuation of 50 million dollars. Then, he added, "Chief Bronson is heading back to the base in a few days. He'd lik
