Chapter 87

Author: Happy Breadwinner
Beverly reached for the folder, but Evan grabbed her by the wrist and pulled her behind him. "Thank you for the effort, Professor Reed, but I'm fully capable of protecting my wife."

Christina approached them at that moment. Evan asked, "Christina, did you find out who started the rumor?"

"Evan, someone silenced the rumor online and left no trace of it. Our team can't track down the person who started the rumor or find any lead on it," Christina said hesitantly.

The words had only just left her mouth when the guests around them started whispering among themselves. They praised Damien and his team for their efficiency, then mocked Evan.

"I thought Gray Corporation had the best IT department in Alterra. You'd expect an elite team like theirs to find something by now."

"Come on, even the best have leagues of their own."

"Yeah, and besides, Damien's a scientific researcher and competes at the national level."

Evan couldn't help bristling at the comments.

    "Bev, loving someone should be a happy experience, not a disappointing or devastating one. You don't love Evan anymore, okay? You're just used to the feeling of loving him. You're refusing to face reality. You're living in denial, and you're terrified of change and moving out of your comfort zone." Damien gently pulled Beverly into his arms when he saw the tears she shed out of heartbreak.He saw her agony, her vulnerability, and the way she fought against death and survived. He wished she didn't have to go through any of this. "Bev, please, stop loving him."He wanted to protect and cherish her so that no one could hurt her again.Beverly met Damien's worried gaze. In four days, she would leave for good and never cross paths again with Evan. The same would apply to Damien.She recalled the time she'd gone missing and Evan almost destroyed the research institute just to find her. She didn't want Evan to cause Damien any trouble after she left this time. There was no better chance

    Beverly watched Evan and Cindy get caught up in the heat of the moment, clinging onto each other like they were the only two people in the world. He scooped Cindy into his arms and carried her into the villa.The door fell shut like a barrier that kept him and Beverly in two different worlds.Beverly started banging on the villa's front door. Her heart tightened painfully, and she could feel her consciousness slipping. She ordered feebly, "Evan, come out here and tell me the truth!"She closed her eyes as tears slid down her cheek.Evan had risked his life to save hers. He'd pulled her out of the quagmire. Had it all been an act? Had it all been a ploy right from the start, and he'd never even loved her?The door was suddenly thrown open. Beverly met Quinn's vicious, disgusted gaze. The older woman snapped impatiently, "What the hell are you making all that noise for in the middle of the night?"Beverly didn't want to waste time on Quinn. "Move.""Move? This is my house! Last I

    So, Beverly's story checked out as well.Evan's slender fingers slid up and down Beverly's thigh, the cool touch stopping just at the top of the high slit of her fitted dress. The green veins that ran down his wrist contrasted the alabaster skin of her thigh.Evan's breathing grew hot and heavy, the heat rolling off his skin reaching a boiling point as it enveloped Beverly. "And why would he have found your bracelet?"Beverly recognized the lust burning in his dark eyes. She pinned his wandering hand before it slid any further up her leg, frowning as she mumbled unhappily, "Because someone decided to get jealous and demanded that I make my boundaries clear with him."Evan's eyes lit up with satisfaction when he heard that. He wrapped an arm around her waist and scooped her up. "When did you become so obedient, honey?"Beverly was so stunned that she couldn't help curling up in his arms. She heaved a sigh of relief. From the looks of it, he'd bought her lies. Nonetheless, she point

    Evan's gentle, placid expression finally cracked, albeit just a little. He cut a sharp look at Calvin, who immediately tugged on Cindy's arm and forced her to kneel alongside him.Calvin added in a voice barely above a whisper, "Beverly, I never planned to get together with Cindy, but… She seduced me. We ended up sleeping together and developed feelings for one another after that."Calvin was prepared to shoulder the blame and bad reputation just to protect Evan. Such friendship and brotherhood could move anyone to tears, but it only made Beverly want to laugh in derision.Her gaze on Cindy was cold and unforgiving. "Like mother, like daughter. Your mom seduced Gerard, and you seduced Calvin." She shook off Evan's grip and continued seethingly, "One clung to a married man and settled for being his sloppy seconds, and the other followed in her mother's trampy footsteps and became a homewrecker. I guess tearing apart marriages is part of your mother-daughter brand."Cindy's heart b

    Someone from the crowd heckled Camelia, "Just leave already! Beverly underwent surgery recently, so don't even think that Evan will let the Shaw family off the hook if you cause her any distress!"Tears filled Camelia's eyes. She'd always been adored and admired. Even when the Shaws fell into disgrace, no one had dared to mock or make fun of her as long as Evan was around.But now, everyone was shunning her like she was a street rat. Anger and resentment welled up in her, and she glowered at Beverly with red-rimmed eyes. But in the end, she scurried out of the house without a single retort.Beverly cut a sharp look at Cindy, who was sprawled across the floor. The sight of her prompted the conversation between Evan and Heather from the other night to rise unbidden in Beverly's mind, like bile in her throat. Her heart tightened.Evan and Cindy had slept together, and things between them had gotten so real and out of hand that he couldn't stand the idea of being with another woman.B

    Evan was thrilled that Beverly had kissed him voluntarily. He angled his head slightly to break the kiss. She'd just had surgery, and it was best that she stayed away from any sort of excitement, in case it stressed her heart.He pressed Beverly's head to his chest, his breath hot against her earlobe as he held her tight like he wanted to mold her against him.Beverly's body felt like it was in a furnace, her face turning red from the heat roiling off Evan. There was no warmth in her eyes as she watched Cindy leave the study and stand beside Camelia. From the looks of it, the two women seemed to be working together again."Give us a kiss!" As the crowd's teasing and heckling rose in pitch, Beverly's face was tipped upward. She met Evan's gentle gaze. He looked at her with such overwhelming love and tenderness, yet she felt none of it."It's time to take your medicine, honey," he reminded."Right," Beverly replied flatly as Evan released her, only to interlock his fingers with hers
