Chapter 52

Author: Happy Breadwinner
Gerard's sly words cut into Beverly's heart like a knife. If not for her hearing the words right from his mouth, she would never have believed that her own father had abducted her.

He used to treat her so well. She wouldn't even have believed that he'd betrayed Elaine if she hadn't caught him messing around with Quinn, who'd pretended to be a maid in their home.

"I thought she was lucky enough that the fire didn't kill her. Who would've known that she'd even end up as the wife of Alterra's wealthiest man? If she hadn't gone and told Elaine about my relationship with your mother, Elaine wouldn't have kicked me out. We wouldn't have roamed the streets for years!

"All my affection for her was wasted. She only cared about Elaine—I'm her father, but I mean nothing to her!" Gerard snarled.

Beverly heard his words loud and clear through the earphone. Her heart twisted painfully as a chill crept over her. She burst into the room and stormed over to Gerard, slapping him repeatedly until he

  • You Watched Me Break, Now Watch Me Rise   Chapter 70

    Calvin was one step behind Beverly, so he had no idea what was going on. He scratched his head in confusion and asked, "What did you do to upset Beverly so badly, Cammy? And why did you upset her when you know she's not in good health? Thank goodness I broke up with you and got together with Cindy!"Trying to curry favor with Evan, Calvin eagerly cemented his identity as Cindy's boyfriend right in front of Beverly.Beverly couldn't help finding the situation pathetic and laughable as she listened to him.Camelia's face had turned to the side from the force of the slap, and her hair fell in her face, covering the evil look in her eyes. However, her hands had balled into tight fists by her sides.No one had ever laid a hand on her in her life, yet Beverly had humiliated her with so many people around! She swore she would return the favor tenfold—no, hundredfold—in the future!Camelia unclenched her fists and looked up at Beverly in grievance. Tears rolled down her face as she met Be

    Still, Evan wouldn't let Damien get close to Beverly anymore. He took Beverly away from Queendale University.When they arrived at Gray Corporation, Camelia hurried to them. "Bev, I called you so many times! Why didn't you answer?""Did you need something?" Beverly asked indifferently."Evan halted all collaborations with Shaw Group." Camelia glared at Evan, sure that he was behind this. He'd always felt that Shaw Group was incapable of handling Gray Corporation's projects and had wanted them out of his hair for a long time. "Help me talk some sense into him."Evan frowned and looked at Beverly."I'm the one who called everything off," she said coolly. "Not him.""Bev!" Camelia raised her voice. "Why did you do that?"Beverly's expression became displeased at her shouting. "Because Shaw Group isn't worthy.""What? That's not what you said in the past. You said Shaw Group would get better as long as I put in the effort!" Camelia was thoroughly stunned by Beverly's decision."We

    Evan's tender gaze instantly turned hostile. He reached for the dark gray hair clip Damien held, snarling, "Why is my wife's hair clip with you?"Damien avoided him and held out the hair clip to Beverly. She stared at him in astonishment, wondering why he was being so insistent. They were supposed to act like they didn't know each other!"Because I found it, of course. In the lab," he said coolly.As soon as the words were out of his mouth, Evan grabbed him by the collar. "Why did you take my wife to a lab?"His cold gaze swept over the ruby necklace around Beverly's neck before landing on Damien's face. The necklace was unharmed, yet the tracker chip had been removed.He suspected Damien was the one who'd ruined everything. He'd probably used some high-precision equipment in the lab to retrieve the chip.Damien ignored Evan's fury and placed the hair clip on Beverly's outstretched palm, making Evan feel like he'd flown off the handle for nothing. Damien said casually, "Plenty of

    Back then, all Damien knew about Beverly was her mysterious codename—Cipher. Even before meeting her, he'd fallen in love with her capabilities. After meeting her, he'd been stunned by how vibrant she was and her determination to achieve her dream."When you no longer have to wander and can return home to serve your country, I'll also be a hacker guarding one front of our nation. I'll see you at the top, Damien." When she'd said that, the light in her eyes had been so bright that no star in the sky could compare.But now…Damien's eyes flitted to the giant screen in the room, which showed Evan wrapping his arms tightly around Beverly. Now, her beautiful eyes only carried hurt and heartache.That heartache was reflected in Evan's broken gaze. He steadied Beverly and scanned her from head to toe. "Where were you, honey? Did someone bully you? Was it Damien Reed? I won't let him off the hook for this."His anxious voice landed on her heart with a dull blow. She clutched the tracker c

    "Damien Reed, hand Bev over! Damien Reed—"Evan's voice roared from the giant screen in the hidden lab's control room. From the screen, Beverly and Damien saw Evan at the press conference venue, shouting uncontrollably."Professor, we won't be able to hold him back any longer if Mrs. Gray doesn't get back out there." Bianca burst into the office. She only made her way to Damien's private lab when she didn't see anyone around."Bianca! Bianca!" Beverly anxiously patted the scanner pod's walls.Bianca quickly pressed a button to open the pod doors when she heard Beverly and helped Damien out. "Professor, how did you two…"Damien helped Beverly out and watched as she straightened her hair and clothes, looking flustered. She said, "It's just a misunderstanding."With that simple explanation, she grabbed the tracker chip that had been removed from her necklace and headed to the hidden door from which she'd entered without another look back.Damien ran after her. Beverly was so embarr

    If Evan really had done that to Beverly, then he couldn't even be considered human anymore.Damien rested a hand on the glass window of the scanner. His heart felt like it was being slashed by a small knife when he saw how upset Beverly was.A few minutes later, the machine beeped, and the pod door automatically opened.Their eyes met unexpectedly, and Beverly instinctively covered herself. When she looked up again, she saw Damien with his back to her. His gaze landed on the monitor for a few seconds as he handed Beverly her clothes."You don't have a signal source on you," he said, exhaling in relief.Beverly kept her eyes on his back as she took the clothes and quickly put them on. As she accepted her wedding band, he suddenly grabbed her hand and turned around.He placed the ring on his palm and asked, "Is this something you never take off, Bev?"She shook her head and reached past him for her ruby necklace. "This is the one that I never take off. My mother gave it to me when
