Semua Bab You Watched Me Break, Now Watch Me Rise: Bab 131 - Bab 140

Evan's frosty gaze sharpened as he fixed Damien with a mildly amused look. "Does a mysterious organization like that truly exist?"Noah continued, "Yes. The dark web has countless secret organizations working for it, but hidden among them are two formidable groups. They're bound to make a move whenever something major happens. The dark web is at its quietest and most peaceful then."The Rinsberg incident, for example, counts as a major event." Noah's eyes darted between Evan and Damien. "If the eyewitness account is to be believed, I have good reason to suspect Mrs. Gray is a member of one of those two secret organizations."Upon hearing this, Damien looked at Evan with wide eyes. He hadn't expected Evan to read so deeply into a simple picture and a single witness' statement, let alone uncover this much information.He'd underestimated Evan, but it was already too late."Professor Reed, would you mind verifying if this man is simply making things up…" Evan trailed off and cut Noah

When Beverly learned that Evan was looking into the helicopter explosion, she was relieved she'd heeded Elaine's advice all those years ago and refrained from telling him that she'd been recruited by James.During Beverly's early days in Alterra, Evan had donated a building to Queendale University in her name. Queendale University had made an exception for the then-17-year-old Beverly, and following her admission, she'd become friends with Evan.Everyone had assumed that she'd gotten into Queendale University through connections and had regarded her with contempt. To prove herself, she'd signed up for a top IT competition and won first place.James had put her on the map because of that competition and recruited her for her exceptional talent. He'd also hidden her results.Beverly had planned to let Evan in on the secret of her recruitment, but Elaine had stopped her. She'd told Beverly that keeping her cards close to her chest had been the key to leaving Gerard and cutting ties

"Mr. Gray?" Quinn exclaimed in surprise. She hadn't thought that Evan was also there, let alone that he would overhear her threatening Beverly. The memory of getting over a hundred slaps in the face had her panicking. She pleaded frantically, "That wasn't what I meant! I've been framed!""Beverly can't be wrong. If she claims that you've stolen these items, it must be true," Evan pointed out gravely.Beverly listened to them indifferently as she signed the relevant paperwork the officer gave her. The officer said, "Come back in three days to pick up these items.""Alright," Beverly replied flatly, casting a sidelong glance at Quinn as the latter pleaded with Evan for mercy. However, Evan ignored her. That being said, he'd never been one to put up with anyone's rambling, even on normal days.Beverly left the precinct lobby, and Evan rushed to catch up with her. He tugged on her soft, delicate hand, registering how much weight she'd lost.He decided he would wait until after Har

Beverly closed her eyes. She wished she wouldn't wake up to this disgustingly fake and absurd life anymore. The pain of the needle piercing her skin as she got a shot of cardiac stimulant pulled her back to reality. She lay on the large bed and stared at the figures around her with disinterest."I want to see her," she said."Okay, honey. Just finish the oatmeal, and I'll take you to see Emmeline tomorrow," Evan promised.When Beverly didn't object, Evan happily eased her upright and had the maid bring in the organic oatmeal. He fed her, murmuring encouragingly in her ear, "Emmeline wouldn't want to see you getting sad because of her. You need to stay strong for Harry, too, honey."Harold stood at the door, pain and annoyance flashing in his eyes. Nonetheless, he went along with Evan's encouragement and said flippantly, "Hang in there, Mom."With that, he spun on his heels and left, not wanting to stay even a second longer. He tugged on Janet's hand and asked, "Can I go and see

Calvin's fists clenched at his sides. He'd grown up with Evan and knew that the latter was used to being obeyed—an arrogance that came from always getting his way."Sleep with her, and she'll be your wife after today," Evan said casually as if reiterating some boring fact."No—" Cindy fell off the bed, throwing herself at Evan's feet. "I refuse! Why are you doing this to me, Evan? I'm yours! How could I possibly fool around with Calvin and betray you?"Evan's brows furrowed. It was clear he was getting annoyed.Seeing this, Calvin quickly hauled Cindy to her feet and flung her onto the bed. Without warning, he began to tear at the neckline of her shirt.She clutched the collar of her shirt firmly and slapped Calvin across the face. "How dare you touch me!"Calvin paused and stared at Cindy. There was no lust in his eyes, only anger."He can do whatever he wants with you. You'll be his lawfully wedded wife the day after tomorrow," Evan pointed out blandly."No, I don't want to m
