All Chapters of You Watched Me Break, Now Watch Me Rise: Chapter 181 - Chapter 190

Evan turned back and asked Lucas, "Where was Beverly spotted?""Facial recognition picked her up on the surveillance camera near the arrivals exit," Lucas replied.Evan stepped into the private room and gave Victor a curt nod. "My apologies, I need to return to the airport. I'll come by later."Victor noted Evan's cold demeanor and lack of courtesy, but for Tabitha's sake, he held his tongue.Evan strode out with long, purposeful steps.Tabitha hurried after him. "Wait for me, Evan!"Meanwhile, Victor went to the adjoining private room and apologized helplessly, "Sorry, Ms. Sinclair. My niece, Tabitha, was far too presumptuous.""It's fine." Beverly's hands curled slightly at her sides. "Mr. Romero, you're well aware of my position. So I must request your utmost discretion, no matter who asks about me.""Of course." Victor sounded genuinely remorseful. "From now on, I'll arrange a private car for you and make sure no one else gets near you. I've booked your hotel room under my

In the stillness of the night, the view lay shrouded in darkness.Beverly caught sight of two male silhouettes and the smell of smoke. Frowning slightly, she rose to her feet and slid the glass door shut before locking it.At that moment, Evan glanced toward Beverly's balcony. But all he saw was the swaying curtain and a slim figure faintly outlined behind it."I'll get in touch with Ms. Bronson then," Lucas said quietly. He then took some medicine from the suitcase and placed it on the nightstand. "Mr. Gray, remember to take your medicine. And no alcohol," he reminded patiently.Evan lifted his gaze briefly, and Lucas immediately withdrew and closed the door behind him.Loneliness spread boundlessly through the quiet room. Evan sat on the balcony sofa, gazing out at the dazzling nightscape of Ravenwell.He thought of how he and Beverly had come to Ravenwell for their honeymoon. If she were there, perhaps she might even revisit those places.He left the hotel room and wandered a

Victor's eyes first fell on Taylor."My boss has stepped out to call the bank for some data," Taylor explained.Victor nodded. Remembering that Beverly preferred not to meet strangers, he turned to Evan and the others and said, "Let's head to the conference room, and I'll brief you on the current situation.""We can also set up a video call with the company's executives. It'll make things more efficient," Evan said as he followed Victor toward the conference room.Tabitha trailed after them, completely dazzled by Evan's composed, mature charm. Even if he was divorced, and even if it meant becoming Harold's stepmother, she was willing to accept it.When Beverly returned from the other side, she saw Victor leading two men and a woman into the conference room.The two men looked strangely familiar, but then again, she didn't really know anyone in Ravenwell.Beverly turned her attention back to analyzing the data, intent on identifying the criminals' methods as quickly as possible s

Evan let go, his disappointment cutting deep. "Sorry, I mistook you for someone else."The woman gave a faint smile. "It's alright."Tabitha caught up with him and noticed Evan's grim expression."Tabby, I'm not in the mood today, so I won't be going shopping with you," Evan said coolly.Tabitha knew better than to insist. She watched his lonely figure walk away, her heart aching. Just what kind of woman could bear to wound a man as devoted as this?Tabitha returned to the checkout counter, sulking. "What did the friend I came in with just choose?""It's the dress that lady is trying on," the sales assistant said, pointing at Beverly as she stepped out of the fitting room.Beverly was dressed in a dusty blue dress, her tanned skin shimmering under the lights with a warm, subtle glow.She'd swept her long, wavy hair into a loose knot with an emerald green barrette, though she'd left a few wisps to fall softly around her ears. She had a gentle look, yet her features were striking

The car came to a smooth stop at the entrance of the manor at the Bronson estate, its grounds sprawling with gardens and woods. As the driver stepped out to open the door, Beverly alighted and was immediately greeted by Wanda, along with a lovely young woman."Wow! So you're my future sister-in-law!" Tabitha exclaimed, marveling at how small the world was. "I actually saw you at the boutique this afternoon. You came out of the fitting room wearing this very dress. Beverly, it looks absolutely stunning on you."Tabitha's sweet and welcoming demeanor made Beverly feel at ease instantly. After thanking her, she turned her gaze calmly toward Wanda, willingly accepting the older woman's thoughtful appraisal.Wanda stepped forward with a smile and took Beverly's hand, clearly pleased."James certainly knows how to keep things quiet until he's ready to surprise us all."Noticing Wanda's barely contained excitement, Tabitha chimed in, "Mom, everyone's still waiting to meet Beverly.""T
