Chapter 390

Author: Happy Breadwinner
The call was abruptly disconnected before James could even say a word.

He stood by the window, and his gaze met Evan's icy one from across the street. James' eyes turned colder than ever.

Wendell stepped out, but quickly returned. "Chief, Ms. Sinclair sold the apartment this afternoon. Not only that, but she also withdrew Esther from the preschool. They moved to a place near her office. The address is…"

Wendell's voice trailed off when he met James' gaze.

Beverly had left in a hurry, leaving some of their small belongings lying around. James clutched a hair tie she often used in his hand and quietly asked, "Are they safe?"

"Yes," Wendell answered. "Mr. Gray has been released on bail. His lawyer claims Mr. Mayer extorted the 20 million dollars out of Mr. Gray. The approval for his real estate project did indeed go through Mr. Mayer. And with Ms. Marwood missing, the photo is gone too.

    Wendell clutched his phone, feeling the weight of James' gaze on him like a sharp blade ready to butcher him. He then heard James say blandly, "Got it."The call ended.James stared at the phone for a moment, then returned to the conference room to continue the meeting where he'd left off.…As night fell, Beverly happily got out of the driver's seat of the champagne-colored Mercedes-Benz C-Class. "Damien, you've got great taste! The car's interior and driving experience are perfect for me and Esther!"She would no longer have to rely on Jake and Tyler to get around. Now that she had a new ride, she could take Esther and Maya out whenever she liked.Beverly was no good with haggling, and it was only because of Damien's skills that she'd saved tens of thousands of dollars.Damien stood at the passenger side of the car and stared at Beverly meaningfully, his voice soft. "I've always had excellent taste."Beverly missed his implication. She pointed out with a smile, "Who would'v

    It wasn't until Evan's wound was bandaged that he said to Harold, "Come here."Harold was scared, but he still walked over obediently. Once he got closer, Evan pulled him into a hug. "I'm sorry for scaring you, son."Tears streamed down Harold's face immediately. Evan placed a hand on the back of his head, and Harold buried himself in Evan's shoulder. Overcome with emotion, he clutched Evan's neck and wailed loudly.It had been so long since Evan had held him like this.Then, he heard Evan continue, "Tell me how your mother kissed Mr. Bronson."…Beverly stayed up all night, focused on developing the new system. The next day, she headed straight to work without any rest.Worried about her, Maya called Wendell.There were 20 more days until they the divorce was finalized, which meant James' inauguration ceremony was also drawing closer.James was busier than ever.

    Harold watched as Beverly shook in anger in James' arms, her hands hanging by her sides. Fear seized him. He was terrified that she would hate him and push his hand away.Suddenly, Esther's soft, little hand took his. "Don't cry, Harry," she said, reaching out to wipe his tears.Esther was his real little sister. Emmeline Dane, the daughter Evan had with Cindy, wasn't his sister at all. Only Esther, whom Beverly had given birth to, was truly his baby sister.Harold held onto Esther's hand tightly and nodded.Evan watched this scene coldly before he was forcefully escorted away by the police officers. Outside the school gate, Lucas rushed over with a lawyer in tow.…In the interrogation room, the officers produced a transfer record of 20 million dollars. "Mr. Gray, Sheldon Mayer has presented evidence that you hired a hitman through him."Evan sat inside for a long time, flicking the grains of sand Esther had flung at him off his pants, one by one, as he listened to his lawy

    When Beverly heard that, she spun around and looked at Evan in shock. Her voice was as cold as steel, cutting straight through Evan's heart. "Why do you hate me so much? Why must you destroy everyone I care about?"Evan met her gaze, which was devoid of any hint of love. No, the love was long gone, and not even hatred remained. There was only overwhelming rage."Bev, I love you. I would never hurt you, let alone hurt the people you care about," Evan argued, reaching for her hand. "Sheldon's lying."Beverly flung his hand away. "Evan, have I ever done anything heinous to you?""No! It's not like that, Bev! You haven't done anything. You're perfect," Evan pleaded frantically, his heart aching."Exactly. I haven't done anything."Beverly's entire body trembled with rage as her voice grew icy. "I've never wronged you, Evan. Yet, you hurt me and the people I care about, and you trampled over my heart again and again. "You're the one who's committed heinous crimes, Evan Gray. This

    James released Beverly and said softly, "Wendell couldn't reach you, so he took it upon himself to pick up Esther. They're waiting for us at Heritage Table. The preschool is having an open day, so we can visit after lunch."After a beat, he asked calmly, "What's wrong with your phone?"There was no way Beverly could tell him that she'd blocked him and Wendell. Lowering her head, she muttered, "Nothing."Then, under his watchful gaze, she pulled out her phone and unblocked their numbers.James glanced at the downcast Beverly, his lips tugging into a faint, carefree smile.…The moment they arrived at Heritage Table, they saw Howard waving at them."James! Beverly!"He warmly ushered them into the same private room as the day before. He was especially good at entertaining Esther, continuously pulling out toys like a magician, as if he'd prepared them in advance.While having lunch, Howard suddenly said, "I feel really bad for what happened yesterday, James.
