Chapter 374

Author: Happy Breadwinner
Paula's scrutinizing gaze fell directly on Beverly, whose mood had soured the moment Esther had addressed the older woman as "Great-Grandma".

Beverly knew perfectly well that Paula disliked her and was always targeting her. How could she possibly talk to her calmly?

And now, Paula was outright humiliating her.

She took a moment to compose herself. Since she and James were getting divorced, she wasn't really Paula's granddaughter-in-law anymore. Otherwise, she would have to put up with Paula's passive-aggressive remarks and endure the discomfort every time they met.

That would be such torture.

"Grandma, this is a private matter between Bev and me," James said, his tone clearly protective.

Sensing James' displeasure, Paula withdrew her gaze. "I might be old, and no one might listen to me anymore, but I only have everyone's best interests at heart."

"Mom," Wanda interjected gently, "James knows what he's doing, and everything will happen in due time."

Only then did Paula relent.

    At that time, Sally had been standing right beside the magician, as she'd also been part of the magic act.James made her heart flutter.When she turned around, she caught sight of a group of people not far away.James was escorting Beverly onto the beach, with Ramon following closely nearby. The accompanying photographer was taking photos for them.Wendell, too, was a remarkably formidable figure, yet at that moment, he was holding drinks and tissues for Beverly.All of a sudden, Sally found the life of a celebrity dull and meaningless. No matter how many people worshipped her, she and the others still had to lower themselves in front of those in power.She gazed at Beverly. She'd heard quite a few rumors about how Beverly had been married to the richest man in Alterra and how she'd then married James and so on. What was it about Beverly that made such exceptional men love her? Worse yet, she didn't even want their love.Jealousy burned in Sally's chest, twisting into dangero

    James froze, his eyes fixed on Beverly's hands pressed against his chest in resistance.As he took a moment to compose himself, he looked from her rosy lips to her nose and eyes, holding her deeply in his sight. Yet, his hand only tightened around her."Is it also true that you're remarrying Evan?" he asked softly.The memory of that night's intimacy flooded Beverly's mind. Unable to meet his eyes, she shook her head. "No."Her breath was filled with the faint inky scent of him.Though his voice was gentle, his entire being radiated an unyielding intensity that held her captive in his embrace. As he held her against him, pinned under his cool, penetrating gaze, Beverly feared the consequences would be unimaginable if she said the wrong thing.Yet, James was clearly being so tender."Where did this rumor come from?" Beverly asked, puzzled. "How have I not heard of it?"James didn't answer, though his mood visibly lightened. Releasing her face, he slid his hands under her arms an

    "If the shoot goes well, we won't need your help with the outdoor charity event, Ms. Sinclair," Wendell continued.Beverly's gaze remained fixed out the window, and she stayed quiet for a long time—so long that Wendell thought she would refuse, but then he heard her say, "Alright."She wanted to discuss something with James. She didn't want Esther to have frequent contact with him, nor did she want him to appear in their lives so often. Thus, she wanted to reclaim full custody of Esther.The more time she spent with James, the more she realized that not only was she growing fonder of him, but Esther was also becoming increasingly attached to him. In fact, he always seemed to know exactly what Esther wanted.…Esther was especially happy that she was going out with James and Beverly. As the car drove along the coast, she sat in James' lap, occasionally moving from his arms to Beverly's.As the two of them took turns holding her, their faces drew closer from time to time. Noticin

    Beverly looked over and saw James' face. For some reason, he seemed even more handsome than he had the day before.As he gently helped her to her feet, she muttered somewhat sheepishly, "I'm not scared of you."Was that some kind of dry humor?James scooped her up into his arms and said softly, “Then why were you walking so fast? You nearly fell, you know.""Chief!" Beverly exclaimed under her breath, noticing that he'd been followed there by a large group of people.The entourage included not just his own staff but also several officials and senior software engineers.She clutched the front of his shirt and urged anxiously, "Put me down."James halted, standing still as he looked down at Beverly. His gaze was so profound that it seemed to see right through her."Your high heel is down there," James said.Only then did Beverly realize she was missing a high heel. She struggled slightly, saying, "I can manage with one foot.""And let them watch as you hobble downstairs while I

    The doctor said, "Since Ms. Sinclair is also here, I'd like to discuss some follow-up details regarding Harold's head injury with both of you. Ms. Bronson, please step out for now."Tabitha glanced at Evan and Beverly. She had no choice but to leave the hospital room. Through the glass window, she watched as Evan's gaze remained fixed on Beverly.She felt a surge of panic. She'd assumed that Beverly wouldn't go back to Evan even if things between her and James were strained. After all, Evan had taken a bullet for Beverly, yet she hadn't so much as frowned. That was proof that she truly hated him.In that moment, Tabitha deeply regretted encouraging Beverly to leave James after drinking last night.She quickly sent a message to James. "James, when are you coming back? If you don't return soon, Beverly really won't want you anymore. She's going to remarry Evan."Tabitha felt this was a real possibility. Anxious and unsure of what to do, she hoped James would come back soon to win Be
