Semua Bab You Watched Me Break, Now Watch Me Rise: Bab 321 - Bab 330

Evan watched as James shielded Beverly and dealt with the uncooperative Esther. It was a scene as familiar as it was heartbreaking to see. He and Beverly had once looked like this too, back when they'd been raising Harold together.Clenching his fists so hard that his knuckles cracked, he strode over to Beverly. Eyes bloodshot, he thrust the paternity report in front of her. "How can Esther not be my daughter?"Beverly stared back coldly. "What tricks are you trying to pull this time? Did you steal Esther's hair?"Trembling with overwhelming emotion, Evan longed to hold her but didn't dare. "Mrs. Jones swapped your abortion pill, which meant you were still pregnant when you left. How did you lose the baby?""You were the one who forced that abortion pill down my throat, and I started bleeding afterward. So, why don't you tell me how I lost the baby?" Beverly retorted.She remembered how Esther had been rushed into intensive care for purpura just hours after she'd been born. Back

Each stroke carried a faint, tantalizing itch that seeped straight into James' heart.Beverly wrote a single word—honey.James closed his hand over hers, a lazy smile spreading across his lips. Even for someone like him, it wasn't so wrong to indulge in a little intimacy with his own wife now and then.He swept his gaze across the room, and those who'd been watching them quickly averted their eyes or looked down."No one saw what we did," James said reassuringly to Beverly. Only then did the heat in her cheeks begin to fade."Go wash your face," he added."Okay."James released her hand. Beverly rose to her feet and walked out with Ramon immediately following behind.From the stage, Sally took it all in. She'd never imagined that someone as cold as James could be that obsessed with a woman. Beverly must be truly blessed.Sally withdrew her gaze, only to lock eyes with a woman who'd just entered. The latter had a fierce look in her eyes, sharp enough to flay skin from bone.

Beverly was still upset, so she pulled her hand back."You didn't even find the crucial evidence that links Sheldon and Brian together," James said to Wendell as he reached for Beverly's hand again.He knew exactly how to lift her spirits.Beverly withdrew her hand once more and placed both back on the laptop, her eyes blazing with determined fury.Before long, she turned to look at him. "It's the bank you asked me to investigate. That bank is also the only cash investment this fund has made aside from its stock investments."James wasn't about to tell her that Wendell's investigation report had already covered it."Well, Wendell?""Ms. Sinclair, that's really impressive. I'll look into it right away," Wendell said, playing along.Although he'd uncovered the same information, it had taken him a full day, while Beverly had managed it in just two hours. He'd never once dared to underestimate her, but now he respected her even more.She was truly brilliant. It was just a pity Jam

Sheldon walked over to the door and ordered, "Go check what's happening in the study."The guards immediately departed.Just then, a tall figure entered the study, and Sheldon left as well.The moment Beverly realized Sheldon was gone, she used the local network to call Wendell."Find Chief Bronson—now!"As soon as she finished speaking, her phone was snatched away, and the call was ended by the newcomer.When Beverly looked at Evan's face, she was plunged into overwhelming helplessness. There was nothing she could do for James anymore, and she was terribly worried about him.Evan crouched down in front of Beverly and said, "Honey, let's go home.""Why won't you let me go?" Beverly's heart ached with sorrow.Evan took her hand. She tried to pull away but was no match for his strength.He pulled her into his arms, and Beverly struggled against his embrace. But the more she resisted, the tighter he held her."You're my everything. I love you, so I kept Gray Corporation from co

"People are spreading all sorts of nasty rumors about James out there," Harvey said."They must be choking on their own envy over James achieving such remarkable feats," Wanda crowed."That's true. The official commendation should come down in a few days.""I think we should make the wedding even grander. That'll stop anyone with ill intentions from getting any funny ideas. I should head to the hotel to check if everything's in order," Wanda said.Meanwhile, Tabitha smiled as she closed the door. "Beverly, we'll leave James in your care."Beverly nodded, then met James' indifferent gaze. The room fell silent."Come here," James said softly.Beverly approached slowly and sat by the bed, only to be pulled into James' embrace. She caught the faint scent of disinfectant on him.Uncertain of his physical condition and worried he might still be weak, she pressed her hands against his chest and pushed him away."I'll go check to see if Wen has delivered the daily necessities.""Are
