In that instant, Evan caught Heather's hands, a shadow flickering in his dark eyes."Escort Mrs. Gray Senior back to Gray Manor. Her health is failing, so she needs rest. No visitors are allowed, and fire every bodyguard at Gray Manor," he said icily."Yes, sir!" a bodyguard answered at once. Then, he stepped forward and said, "Mrs. Gray Senior, this way please."Heather noticed the clarity in Evan's gaze and felt the chill of his palms. He was fully lucid now. It seemed like the drug's effects had worn off on his way here.Relief washed over her. But the moment she realized that Evan was now using the methods he employed against his enemies on her, she snapped back to her senses and pointed at Beverly with bitter disappointment."You would put me under house arrest for her? She's really bewitched you, hasn't she? What's so special about her that you'd—"Heather turned back to look at Beverly, who sat on the sofa and met her gaze with the same clear, innocent eyes she'd had the v

When Janet had first arrived at the Gray residence, the maids had told her that as long as she didn't anger Beverly, everything would be fine since Evan always listened to her.On top of that, Beverly was also beautiful and kind. Born into a wealthy family, she'd been raised as a privileged young lady. Even after her family had fallen apart, she'd been protected by Elaine. Later, she'd married Evan and had never had to endure any hardships.She'd married the right man and led a fortunate life.Upon seeing Janet studying late into the night, the maids would often tease her. "Silly girl, why are you still studying? The Grays are surrounded by heirs of wealthy families. If you manage to snag one, you'll be able to live an easy and fortunate life too."But now, Janet realized that Beverly's ability to remain composed in the face of Evan's cheating and betrayal was precisely because she was strong, self-assured, and capable of handling any turbulence life threw her way.As a wealthy so

"It didn't go with the dress," Beverly replied with a detached expression.Just then, a sales attendant brought over a hand chain bracelet and slipped the ring and bracelet onto Beverly's ring finger and wrist, respectively."Will this work, Mrs. Gray?"Beverly gave her a faint smile. "It's perfect."Evan wrapped his arms around Beverly from behind, his large hand clasping hers as it rested against her lower belly. As he admired her in the full-length mirror, he noticed that the faint imprint of her wedding band was still visible on her ring finger.He felt something was off, but since Beverly seemed to be in good spirits, he didn't press the matter. Instead, he paid her a compliment. "Honey, you look in everything."The child in her belly seemed to sense something and stirred slightly. Beverly's gaze darkened. How could there be movement when the embryo hadn't even formed yet? It was only her own heart that had suddenly been stirred.After all, for the daughter in her womb to

By the time Evan turned to look at the staircase, no one was there. "I'm sure you know the consequences that await you if you mess this up again."Marcus was, of course, terrified. Even so, he still tried to plead with Evan earnestly."Mr. Gray, I discovered significant advancement in medical technology at the symposium I attended abroad. We can now perform a C-section before the baby reaches full term and continue gestation in an external incubator."Even if the baby has heart issues, we can address them early. This way, not only would the risk to Mrs. Gray's health be minimized, but she also wouldn't have to go through the pain of losing another child. Mr. Gray, Mrs. Gray is carrying the daughter she's always wanted."Marcus grew increasingly animated, convinced that he could persuade Evan. After all, what father wouldn't love his own child?Evan's brow furrowed slightly at the word "daughter", and his voice turned colder still. "Does Beverly know she's still carrying a baby g

Seeing that Beverly was truly angry, Evan softened his voice. "Alright, I'll wait outside the door then. I'll only come in again when you've forgiven me."After the door closed, Beverly walked over to the bed and pulled back the covers. Then, she lifted the entire bottle of prenatal medicine to her lips and downed everything.Her expression was ice-cold as she pressed a hand tightly over her abdomen.Marcus had said that she wouldn't feel a thing, but the stabbing pain from earlier told her otherwise. She'd vomited up half a pill, so the drug might not have taken effect.Meanwhile, in the guest room downstairs, Marcus said, "Mr. Gray, a research organization overseas has invited me to serve as a medical consultant. How would you like me to proceed?""I won't stand in the way of your career," Evan replied coolly. "But when I need you, you must return."Marcus gave a small nod.A bodyguard slipped a check worth ten million dollars into Marcus' pocket. Marcus inclined his head in a
