All Chapters of You Watched Me Break, Now Watch Me Rise: Chapter 121 - Chapter 130

Camelia wasn't bothered by Evan's lack of interest at all. She just continued calmly, "Bev found out about your affair with Cindy a long time ago."Evan snapped his head toward her, and a glint of danger sparked in his otherwise calm eyes. "You're lying.""Her reaction was indeed different from what you expected. You assumed she would scream at you for betraying her and be so devastated that she'd ask for a divorce, didn't you? But actually, she just planned to leave you quietly. She told me that herself," she said with a smile."Heather told me Bev had been kidnapped by some unknown organization and that they hadn't been able to take her away because you had all of Alterra locked down. So they had no choice but to let her go."I don't know why the surveillance cameras didn't catch her escape, but it's a fact that Bev was the only person in the main bedroom on the second floor. "So the only possibility is that she tied the bedsheets together, climbed down, and ran away from Gray

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

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

"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

"Your daughter-in-law is a rather interesting character, darling. Who would've thought Evan would park his shares in Gray Corporation under her name?" Isabel continued.The low timbre of a man's laugh reverberated on the other end of the phone. "Ah, I suppose Evan gets his loyalty from me. Unfortunately, the woman he loves isn't the sharpest tool in the shed, unlike you. You're clever enough to disguise yourself and hide right under Heather's nose."Isabel grinned at the sweet talk.…After Beverly left the law firm, Evan's bodyguards immediately reported her activity to Evan."Mrs. Gray consulted Isabel Townsend, an associate at Ridgestone Law Firm who specializes in commercial law," the bodyguard informed Evan. "Would you like us to look into the details of Mrs. Gray's consultation?""No need. She probably wanted to give one of her immovable properties to Harry for his birthday." Evan stood by the window of a skyscraper in Alterra and looked down at the crowd milling about down
