You Watched Me Break, Now Watch Me Rise のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 211 - チャプター 220

Carly was an heiress from a prestigious family. Normally, she wouldn't stoop to clinging to a man who was already taken. But this time, she swallowed her pride and did exactly that.Releasing James' waist, Carly seamlessly looped her arm through his as a mocking gleam flashed in her eyes. "Don't you think we're quite alike, Ms. Sinclair?"Upon hearing this, Beverly recalled the feeling she'd gotten when she first met Carly. She suddenly understood why she'd found Carly so familiar. As it turned out, where their appearances were concerned, Carly and Cindy resembled each other to a certain degree."James sought you out for comfort after he got angry with me, but now that I'm here and we've hashed things out, he'll soon change his mind about you," Carly added. "He won't marry you."As Carly said this with certainty, she clutched James' arm a little tighter.James was as stiff as a board as he stared at Beverly. When he saw how sad she looked because of him, something flickered in his

Beverly's eyes grew frosty when she saw Evan, but Wanda and Harvey had already questioned him before she could even say something. She leveled Evan with a dark look, worried that he would say something that could cause irreparable damage.Wanda's and Harvey's eyes darted between the tense trio who were staring each other down. James seemed completely unaffected, his expression inscrutable. Knowing they wouldn't get answers out of him, Wanda and Harvey turned to Beverly instead. "Bev…"Wanda had barely finished speaking when James suddenly wrapped his strong arms around Beverly, pulling her into his embrace. He was taller than her by over half a foot and easily picked her up off the ground.She stood on her tiptoes, her weight entirely supported by his arms. He bent at the waist, his calm, handsome face drawing closer to hers, hovering close, but not quite touching. His lips paused before brushing against hers.They were so close that her sweet fragrance mingled with his ink-and

Beverly's lashes fluttered as her eyes widened at the sight of the injured person. Tears slid down her face, and her heart thudded as she asked in surprise, "Ms. Henderson?"She instinctively searched the crowd for James, only to see him approach her, his clothes covered in blood. The secretaries hurriedly cleaned the blood on him with handkerchiefs as he explained flatly, "Carly was shot while trying to save me. Were you scared?"Beverly was beside herself with panic, but she shook her head despite her ashen face.Just then, Carly groaned quietly, "James…"James peeled his gaze off Beverly's face and went to check on Carly. "The arrow didn't hit a vital point. The chopper will take you to the hospital immediately.""Don't leave me, okay?" Carly pleaded. She'd risked her life to gain James' sympathy, hoping he would change his mind and come back to her. She wouldn't let this opportunity slip no matter what, even as she nearly blacked out from the pain that crept through her bo

"Evan, what happened to you?" Tabitha asked in concern as she appraised Evan, but his eyes were fixed on Beverly's retreating figure."Nothing," was all he said when he finally took his eyes off Beverly and left with Lucas."Should I have the family doctor take a look at you?" Tabitha offered. She wanted to go after Evan, but no matter how she called out for him, he didn't stop in his tracks.The marks on his shoulders, obscured by the blood that seeped through his white shirt, had obviously been caused by biting. Tabitha wanted to ask him why he'd been in a helicopter with Beverly and how they'd ended up falling into the sea, but he didn't give her the chance.Tabitha sulked. For some reason, she had a feeling that something unspeakable had happened between Evan and Beverly, and no one else knew about it.Standing behind Tabitha, Jessica asked, "Tabitha, have you ever met Mr. Gray's wife?"Naturally, Tabitha had never had the pleasure. All she knew about the elusive woman was th

Evan's hands clenched into fists at his sides. He wanted nothing more than to beat Damien into a pulp, and he was more than capable of accomplishing such violence. But he didn't want to make Beverly upset again."Buy the villa next to the Reed residence," Evan ordered Lucas.Lucas nodded, then said, "By the way, Ms. Gray called and said Ms. Bronson has invited her and Theresa to Ravenwell for a getaway. She plans to bring Harry along."A terrifyingly grave look registered on Evan's face at the mention of Harold.Lucas knew Evan blamed Harold for telling Beverly the truth back then. Harold had been living in the orphanage for the last three years, and Evan hadn't allowed anyone to take him out of the orphanage even after he'd been diagnosed with a heart disease.Lucas felt bad for Harold. He risked angering Evan and pointed out, "Maybe Mrs. Gray will change her mind once she sees Harold. You know how much she used to love him. She was hands-on and did everything for him."As Lucas
