Chapter 99

Author: Happy Breadwinner
Calvin cried out in pain from the whipping. "Mom, stop! I'll talk. I'm actually only taking care of the kid on behalf of—"

"On behalf of whom, Cal?" Evan cut him off mid-sentence.

Calvin turned his head and saw Evan and Beverly walking in.

Panic seized him, and he stammered, "I-I didn't say anything. I meant I had the child for the sake of carrying on my family line. Cammy kept refusing to marry me, and with my parents pressing me, I had no choice but to ask Cindy to have my baby. Dad, Mom, I only wanted to give our family an heir."

Amber wasn't blind. She could clearly tell that Cindy and Emmeline were both Evan's doing, and Calvin had taken the fall for the mess on Evan's behalf.

She flung the whip aside and cursed, "You fool!"

Robert was so furious that he could hardly breathe. But with Evan and Beverly present, he restrained himself and only said, "Sorry that you've had to witness such a disgrace."

"Mr. Dane, since things have already come to this point, kicking Cal out of

    "Cuz?" Tyler looked at the two in surprise.The wealthy businessmen following Marvin out were also bewildered. They were very familiar with Marvin's family members, and the woman before them clearly wasn't one of them."I'm not your cousin!" Seeing that Marvin didn't seem intent on causing trouble, Beverly put her phone away."Take a look at this." Marvin seemed like he'd come prepared.A bodyguard immediately brought a photo album to Beverly and began flipping through the pages one by one.Beverly's eyes widened. The photos were all of Elaine in her youth. Some were taken with adults in their prime, while others were with teenagers and children.The album stopped on a particular page, and Marvin pressed down on one of the photos with his tanned finger."This is me, and the one in Aunt Elaine's arms is Carly."So, it was indeed Elaine!Beverly looked up and met Marvin's gaze.Seeing the shock in her expression, Marvin knew she was at least beginning to believe him."Bev, I k

    Evan sat on the sofa by the window, a lit cigarette in his hand. Suddenly, the memory of Beverly resisting him at the Bronson estate flashed in his mind, and he stubbed out the cigarette in the ashtray.The intermittent sounds of the maid tidying up drifted from the living room.Just then, Lucas entered with a phone in hand. Bending down, he reported, "Sir, it's the director of the psychiatric hospital on the line.""What did he say?" Evan had no intention of taking the call.Lucas pressed the phone to his ear and spoke with the director for a few minutes."Ms. Beech attempted suicide."Evan's gaze instantly turned icy as he looked up.Lucas quickly added, "She was found in time and saved. But the director is worried there might be a next time—it's impossible to guard against it completely."Evan reined in his cold demeanor and asked calmly, "What does she want?" "She wants to be discharged and see Emmeline.""Send Emmeline to her.""Sir, do you mean lock her up there too?"

    "Mr. Gray, mind your words," James uttered coldly as he looked at Evan and handed the pizza box to him. "Bev doesn't like junk food."He respected Harold's gesture, though.No sooner had James finished speaking than several court officers approached Evan."Mr. Gray, you've violated the court's restraining order. Please move out of the building immediately," one of the court officers stated.Evan frowned sharply and glanced at James, whose expression remained indifferent. James didn't even spare him a glance, turning instead to walk toward the elevator.Evan, still holding the pizza box, tried to follow but was stopped by Wendell.As he watched James' calm expression through the slowly closing elevator door, he scoffed and said, "Junk food? You don't understand Bev at all. You don't even know what she likes to eat."What makes you think you can compete with me? I heard the leaked recording, and that was definitely Bev's voice." Evan sounded almost triumphant. "She doesn't want yo

    "Don't eat junk food," James said softly. "You've lost so much weight."Hearing his concerned words, Beverly couldn't hold back her emotions and asked him, "Can you handle this situation?""No."James watched her leisurely, feeling a sense of relief. Thankfully, she wasn't so heartless as to not even ask."If it isn't handled well, will it affect your appointment?"James gently tugged at the bottom of her dress, ensuring it covered what needed to be concealed before he replied, "It'll only invite trouble if I take up that post at my young age. They will stop at nothing to prevent me from doing that."Beverly stared at his hands as they smoothed her dress, momentarily forgetting to pull away. So, if he couldn't resolve the situation, it would definitely affect his appointment. She didn't want to cause him trouble. She wanted to do something for him, even if it wasn't much."I—" Beverly looked at James, and his gaze met hers gently. She started to waver. "I can't let you move in

    "I won't let you down again," Evan continued.No sooner had he spoken than a swarm of reporters rushed in, their cameras flashing wildly.Beverly was stunned to see James standing behind the crowd of reporters. She forcefully pulled her hand free from Evan's grasp and took a step back.Thinking of James' political future, she said, "That's nothing but wishful thinking, Mr. Gray. How could I possibly leave James?"She then walked forward, and the reporters parted to make way, only then noticing James standing behind them. James approached her, and Beverly linked her arm with his.The reporters went into a frenzy, snapping photos and murmuring among themselves."So, it's Mr. Gray who can't let go and is pestering her.""Chief Bronson and Mrs. Bronson look perfectly loving to me.""The trending topic from earlier has already disappeared, and several accounts spreading rumors have been suspended."Remarks like these drifted through the crowd intermittently.Wendell seized the mom

    Beverly recalled Cameron's questions and what she'd said to James at their wedding ceremony."So, the misconduct the rumors refer to—"James suddenly grasped her hand, making her trail off. Then, he said, "It's not your fault.""How could it be our fault? Someone is clearly scheming behind the scenes." Wanda glanced at James holding Beverly's hand, then continued. "Now, with the news breaking out that you and Evan live in the same building…"She looked intently at Beverly. "Bev, the public review period is 25 days. Until then, could you move back to Rosewood Manor and live with James? It would help dispel the rumors."It was also exactly 25 days until the divorce would become official.Beverly withdrew her hand from James' grasp.James released her and turned to Wendell, who suggested, "Moving suddenly might make the public think we're doing it deliberately. Perhaps Chief Bronson could move to the apartment instead?"The room fell silent. All three of them were looking at Bev
