Chapter 335

Author: Happy Breadwinner
Beverly looked over. Blood was seeping from Evan's chest, soaking his white shirt. He lay on the floor, looking straight at her. He'd taken the bullet that had been flying toward her.

Her mind went blank, and her body trembled uncontrollably. She stumbled toward Evan like a lifeless shell and found him struggling to breathe.

His gaze was full of deep affection as he called out to her, "Bev…"

"Get him to the hospital, now!"

James' voice rang in Beverly's ear. He darted around her, crouched beside Evan, and pressed both hands against the gushing wound on his chest.

Beverly collapsed next to James. Her head rested against his lower back as she trembled in fear.

James administered basic first aid, and seconds later, plainclothes special forces operators rushed over and carried Evan away.

James helped Beverly to her feet and pulled her into his arms. "The bullet didn't hit his heart or any vital organs. Don't worry."

Christina was beside herself with worry for Evan.

    Beverly's face was flushed a deep shade of red, almost burning with embarrassment. She braced her hands against James' shoulder, meaning to push him away. But instead, her fingers crumpled his shirt.With a clatter, the cup in Wanda's hand fell to the ground.James immediately wrapped Beverly in his arms, his gaze sweeping lightly over the elders. Though his breathing was still uneven and his demeanor appeared gentle, the air he exuded was excessively stern.It was as if he was suggesting they should have known to look away.He scooped Beverly up with one arm, while his other hand pressed firmly on the armrest of the chair, spinning it around to face away from the elders.Snapping back to reality, Wanda slapped her own hand for lacking tact and ruining the moment.Now that they didn't have a spectacle to watch, the others began to chuckle good-naturedly."Wanda, looks like you'll have your hands full soon," Bernice remarked."With what?""Judging by what we saw, your family wi

    Beverly's eyes were fixed on Damien's phone. James grabbed the phone, holding it firmly. This finally snapped Beverly back to reality.Realizing James was holding her hand, she tried to pull it back. But he only gripped it tighter.James unlocked Damien's phone and opened the photo gallery. Then, he began swiping through the photos one by one, deleting each one as he went.All of them were photos of Beverly.His expression grew colder and darker. After deleting the last photo, he flung Damien's phone into the lake.From photos to sketches, Damien sure had many talents—first a scientist, then a foodie and even a painter.James frowned."Why did you throw Damien's phone away?" Beverly hurriedly stood up, about to try to retrieve it, but James pulled her tightly into his arms.Unable to hold back any longer, he cupped Beverly's face and said, "Honey, Dr. Parker and I are simply in a professional, superior-subordinate relationship. The reason I arranged for her marriage was purely

    "William, you're here! Take my place," Tabitha said. "Win me back my money!"William shot a look at James. "If I'm taking anyone's place, it's James'. Why is a married couple playing poker together? And Beverly won the jackpot, too?"He first spotted the small, veritable mountain of poker chips lying before Beverly, then noted the surprise on her face."Hold up! James, did you cheat?" William stormed over to James and revealed the hand he'd folded. "Hey, hey, hey! You ripped off Tabby and Ms. Graham just to appease your wife? That's unfair!""Chief Bronson!" Anna was scandalized and made it a point to show it. "What did you do that was so bad that you'd stoop to ripping off over 100 thousand from me just to make it up to your wife? You'd better explain yourself, or I'll get my father to charge you for corruption!"William took Anna's side, crying, "And I'll be witness! This is a sham!""Wait, over 100 thousand dollars?" Beverly was stunned. She looked at the chips before her."B

    Gwen wouldn't even have been considered as a potential wife for James if a second marriage had been in the books. In any case, how could Wanda bring herself to see Gwen and demand that she bear a child for James?Gwen had been bold enough to suggest playing surrogate for James. What could she have done to Beverly, then, for the latter to get so riled up as to slap her?Wanda was perceptive and had grown up among the masses. After she married Harvey, she became even more socially astute. Unsurprisingly, she'd sensed Beverly's cool indifference toward her on the phone earlier.More importantly, James took after her. If he'd sensed that something was amiss with Beverly, needless to say, Wanda had noticed too. She knew something must have happened between them."Bev, you must be exhausted. Why don't you go sit with James?" Wanda suggested.Beverly glanced in James' direction and met his gaze. From the looks of it, he'd been watching her from where he was sitting for some time."Ms. S

    Yet now, Beverly was succinctly and calmly telling James what bothered her.James straightened up and opened the closet. When he saw the skirts and dresses within, he said, "I'll have Tabitha bring an ensemble over.""Okay."On his way out, he stood by the door and stared at Beverly for some time. She'd called him "Chief Bronson" earlier, which meant she had something serious to tell him, and he was sure it wasn't something he would want to hear.And now, she'd chosen to keep quiet about it.After giving Tabitha the message, James sat on the rosewood bench in the yard. An ornate fish pond with various, exotic-looking fish swimming under the surface lay before him.Damien claimed the seat beside him. "Is Gwen your lover, Chief Bronson?"The question had James frowning."Bev found out about you marrying Gwen off. Don't hurt Bev, okay? Do us a favor and end things with that woman," Damien prompted.With his hands resting on either side of him, James didn't so much as show a flick

    Not even two seconds later, the truck veered at least ten yards out of its lane. The boom of the collision was coupled with the sharp screeching of the brakes, ringing clear through the air.James lost his usual composure and helped Beverly up. His large hand slid from the top of her head to her heart. He asked frantically, "Are you hurt? Are you alright?"Upon registering the shock on her pale face, he quickly pulled her into a tight embrace. He cupped her face, his heart racing out of rhythm. "Don't scare me, honey. Say something."Beverly snapped out of her daze, and tears rolled down her face.When she'd turned to speak to him earlier, she hadn't noticed the truck hurtling toward them. All she'd seen was a bright light, and James suddenly lunge at her. He'd hauled her out of the car, hit the ground, and rolled to safety.There was no fear or panic in her eyes, only sorrow.She realized James hadn't heard what she'd said earlier, and she didn't have the courage to say it aga
