Chapter 744

Author: Happy Breadwinner
But James didn't stop. He continued to kiss Beverly until her mind buzzed uncontrollably.

His entire presence radiated a dark, cold heaviness.

Half an hour later, James slipped a pair of soft, fluffy house slippers on Beverly's feet and led her out of the restroom. Her champagne-colored high heels, which were still soaked with pool water, had been stuffed into a plastic bag.

Beverly's hands and legs felt weak. It took her quite a while to steady herself before she could walk out. The corners of her eyes were red, and her lips were swollen from James' kisses.

James stepped out of the lounge and stood in the hallway. From time to time, snippets of gossip about the earlier near-drowning incident drifted into his ears.

Wendell walked up to him and handed him a file.

"Chief, the woman from earlier is Mrs. Bronson's half-sister on her father's side, and she's also the one Mr. Gray had an affair with three years ago."

James' gaze turned cold. He took the file and flipped through the

    Beverly's cheeks flushed crimson as she glared at James. "Whose fault is that?"James leaned down and lifted her in a princess carry. She wrapped her arms around his neck, her voice filled with concern."Is this okay?""Yeah. I'm feeling much better than yesterday. Are you going to apologize to me?""For what?""What do you think?""I'm sorry. I didn't even know Esther was such a good swimmer. I had no right to question why you didn't jump in to save her. She's your daughter too. I'm the one who should get my eyes checked. I underestimated you. Will you forgive me?"James' gentle gaze settled on her anxious little face. "I'll think about it."Beverly pouted unhappily. "Will you have to think about it for long?""Hmm…"She stared at him nervously as they walked out of the banquet hall.…When they returned to Rosewood Manor, James helped Beverly bathe."You're still not done thinking about it?"James changed her into comfortable loungewear and carried her to the bed while

    Cindy's hands were clenched tightly at her sides, her freshly manicured nails digging painfully into her palms, sending sharp stabs straight to her heart.Her gaze was razor-sharp as she glared viciously at Beverly. "Are you satisfied? He's marrying me because of you. It's only because of you that he's making Millie the heir too! All those years he spent chasing fantasies with me, it was only to find a trace of you in me!"Cindy advanced toward Beverly in her high heels, her eyes blazing with fury. "He locked me in that dark psychiatric hospital where I couldn't even see any sunlight for three whole years. Every single day, I wondered—what did you have that I didn't? Why did life treat me so unfairly?"I slit my wrists, trying to kill myself, but he just had people save me over and over again. Each time, I was filled with hope. I thought that even if he didn't love me enough, at least he did love me a little."But I was dead wrong. One month ago, everything changed. Doctors came ev

    Beverly stood there, watching Harold and Esther as their voices gradually faded away."Harry, don't hit anyone next time, okay?"Harold nodded. "Got it. I'll listen to whatever you say."Suddenly, a large hand wrapped around Beverly's waist. Her world spun as she was lifted clean off the ground. Startled, she grabbed James' suit jacket. "James?"He'd thrown her over his shoulder right in front of so many people again. But when her hands fisted the hem of his suit jacket, the first thing that came out of her mouth was, "Are you okay? You can't carry me. Put me down."She struggled, trying to get free. Without warning, she felt two not-so-light slaps on her bottom.James' low voice drifted into her ear. "Don't move. I'm running out of strength."Beverly's face instantly burned red. She froze, not daring to struggle anymore.Hearing the commotion, Esther and Harold turned around, only to see James carrying Beverly over his shoulder, one arm wrapped around her legs, while his oth

    James had also taught Esther that if she couldn't tell whether someone was good or bad, she should simply play along and handle the situation however she could."After I fell in, I swam to the edge underwater, grabbed her ankle, and pulled her down with me."As she reached this part, Esther glanced at James, looking rather pleased with herself. Her eyes shone with a hint of pride as she whispered, "Daddy, did I do well?"James was focused on drying her hair and replied seriously, "Yes, better than your mother."Beverly was utterly speechless."Then I swam to the ladder and climbed out," Esther continued loudly to Emmeline with a smile.She opened her hand, revealing a pearl resting in her soft palm. "This is from Millie's princess shoes."Everyone's eyes shifted to Emmeline's shoes. Sure enough, one pearl was missing.Testimony and evidence had suddenly turned into a matter of conflicting stories.Those who believed Emmeline couldn't accept that a child just over two years old

    James took the towel Wendell handed him and wrapped Esther in it. He then lifted her from the ground and gently smoothed down her wet hair.Wanting to take Esther back, Beverly moved closer to James, only to meet his indifferent gaze. She froze in place.James was simply too intimidating.Esther mischievously stuck her tongue out at Emmeline. Then, she leaned close to James' ear and whispered in the smallest voice, "Daddy, I was laughing at how silly she was."James lifted the corner of the towel to dry her damp hair, his gaze calm as he gave her a meaningful look. "Someone else is even sillier."Beverly's expression stiffened. Those words were clearly meant for her.Just then, Cindy walked over to Evan and draped a towel over Emmeline."Beverly, Esther pushed Millie into the pool and nearly drowned her. How do you intend to explain this?""Esther would never do such a thing." Having taken off her high heels, Beverly now stood only up to James' chest. Yet, she planted her petit
