You Watched Me Break, Now Watch Me Rise Chapter 400
Half an hour later, Beverly entered the wing. She scanned James' impassive face, her eyes full of complicated emotions, then lowered her gaze as she reached for the graduation certificate."Thank you, Chief Bronson," she said in a low voice after she'd gotten the graduation certificate.James made no reply.Beverly's eyes turned red with tears. She looked down and headed out with the certificate in hand. She'd only just reached the doorway when Wanda entered. "It's getting late, and your hand's still in bandages. Driving will be a chore. Why not just stay here for the night?"A hush descended in the wing. No one moved a muscle or said a word."Kathy's gone over to babysit Esther for the night, so don't worry about it," Wanda said, having taken the liberty to make such arrangements beforehand. "Kathy will be working for you from now on."Wanda slid an arm around Beverly's slender waist, as if measuring it. "You've lost quite a bit of weight, yet it's only been a few days since I l

"What a coincidence. We were just about to leave as well," Wendell said as he approached Beverly. "There's a problem with Chief Bronson's car, so we had it sent for repair."Damien took out his car key. "You could take my car.""No, thanks, Professor Reed. There's three of us, and taking two cars will be a hassle," Wendell said. "Besides, you're taking Timmy to school tomorrow. It'll be tough to get through Ravenwell's morning rush hour without a car."The moment James looked over, Beverly lowered her gaze and walked out. She got into the driver's seat and started the ignition.Wendell opened the door to the passenger seat, and James eased into the car. At once, his distinct scent filled the car.Beverly rolled down the window to let in the cool breeze. She waited until Wendell had gotten into the backseat before steering the car away from the villa neighborhood.She heard James going through documents beside her, the sound of pages turning filling her ears. The subtle scent of

The air around James was frigid as he headed toward the villa, as if he couldn't care less about Beverly's answer. His tall silhouette brushed past her, the sleeve of his white shirt grazing the butterfly sleeve of her dress.Beverly glanced at James instinctively, her eyes lingering on his straight back. She watched him sit on the couch and lean into it before his flippant gaze flickered to Horatio, who'd come down upon hearing the commotion. He then proceeded to speak to the panicked Horatio.Beverly felt a sudden tug on her hand, and only then did she turn to meet Damien's anxious gaze. It pulled her out of her thoughts.Wendell entered the villa right then. "Thank you for your concern, Professor Reed. Chief Bronson and Ms. Sinclair are doing just fine."Damien's grip tightened on Beverly's hand even as he heard Wendell's polished answer. When he met Beverly's calm, steady gaze, he urged, "But both of you don't look fine at all, Bev. Not even a little."Beverly was about to

Beverly leveled a cold look at Evan. He didn't dare to take a step closer. On the night he'd been taken in by the police, she'd quietly infiltrated the police precinct's system and learned the progress of Evan's case.Extortion? Evan's bodyguards weren't ornamental; they were elites at their jobs, and they would never let anyone blackmail Evan.Sheldon had planned to stand in as a witness after he'd been arrested so he could testify against Evan. He wouldn't lie, which meant there was only one liar here—Evan.Evan must have told Sheldon to hire a hitman to kill James. Beverly had no proof of this—not yet, at least. Once she got her hands on proper evidence, she would turn him in and have the law punish him."Mr. Gray? Are you here to inspect the restaurant?" Anna's voice rang out from the lounge doorway. She'd just returned from abroad and had yet to familiarize herself with Ravenwell's high society. She hadn't heard the gossip, so she had no idea about Beverly and Evan's relat

Upon hearing this, Beverly turned her gaze on Hugo.Hugo hated the person he'd been a few days ago. At the time, he'd already made up his mind to hire Anna. He'd hoped Anna could convince Beverly to give up or make her falter in her stance, so he'd fed Anna a few stories about Beverly.He might as well have shot himself in the foot."What does your company do? What are the products you've come up with?" Anna pressed.The other software engineers' interests were piqued as well."Antivirus software," Beverly revealed, much to the crowd's amusement, if their ensuing laughter was any indication."I suggest you keep up with the times," Anna said mockingly, finally feeling superior again. She handed Beverly a business card, "If you can't think of a better product to replace the antivirus program, feel free to visit Skyscape Tech."Beverly wouldn't have shown up at the symposium if she hadn't wanted to connect with the industry bigwigs. The light finally returned to her eyes. "Can I br

Beverly's wrist ached as Anna's vise-like grip tightened around it. To Anna, Beverly's words were nothing short of provocative, especially considering her perceived lack of academic qualifications.So what if Beverly was married to James? Anna's father was the head of the Law Enforcement Bureau, but she certainly didn't go around parading his name for her own benefit.Beverly had openly used her husband as a stepping stone to get to where she was. Anna hated those who pulled strings for success instead of working hard for it. "You're not leaving until we have a match."The next second, Damien pried Anna's hand off Beverly's wrist.Beverly rubbed her sore wrist. Her uneasiness didn't escape James.Hugo was caught in a dilemma as well. Beverly's academic qualification was, indeed, a problem—one that he could easily sweep under the rug in normal circumstances. Then again, under normal circumstances, those who didn't have the necessary academic credentials could never land a job a
