Semua Bab You Watched Me Break, Now Watch Me Rise: Bab 351 - Bab 360

"I won't let you down again," Evan continued.No sooner had he spoken than a swarm of reporters rushed in, their cameras flashing wildly.Beverly was stunned to see James standing behind the crowd of reporters. She forcefully pulled her hand free from Evan's grasp and took a step back.Thinking of James' political future, she said, "That's nothing but wishful thinking, Mr. Gray. How could I possibly leave James?"She then walked forward, and the reporters parted to make way, only then noticing James standing behind them. James approached her, and Beverly linked her arm with his.The reporters went into a frenzy, snapping photos and murmuring among themselves."So, it's Mr. Gray who can't let go and is pestering her.""Chief Bronson and Mrs. Bronson look perfectly loving to me.""The trending topic from earlier has already disappeared, and several accounts spreading rumors have been suspended."Remarks like these drifted through the crowd intermittently.Wendell seized the mom

"Mr. Gray, mind your words," James uttered coldly as he looked at Evan and handed the pizza box to him. "Bev doesn't like junk food."He respected Harold's gesture, though.No sooner had James finished speaking than several court officers approached Evan."Mr. Gray, you've violated the court's restraining order. Please move out of the building immediately," one of the court officers stated.Evan frowned sharply and glanced at James, whose expression remained indifferent. James didn't even spare him a glance, turning instead to walk toward the elevator.Evan, still holding the pizza box, tried to follow but was stopped by Wendell.As he watched James' calm expression through the slowly closing elevator door, he scoffed and said, "Junk food? You don't understand Bev at all. You don't even know what she likes to eat."What makes you think you can compete with me? I heard the leaked recording, and that was definitely Bev's voice." Evan sounded almost triumphant. "She doesn't want yo

"Cuz?" Tyler looked at the two in surprise.The wealthy businessmen following Marvin out were also bewildered. They were very familiar with Marvin's family members, and the woman before them clearly wasn't one of them."I'm not your cousin!" Seeing that Marvin didn't seem intent on causing trouble, Beverly put her phone away."Take a look at this." Marvin seemed like he'd come prepared.A bodyguard immediately brought a photo album to Beverly and began flipping through the pages one by one.Beverly's eyes widened. The photos were all of Elaine in her youth. Some were taken with adults in their prime, while others were with teenagers and children.The album stopped on a particular page, and Marvin pressed down on one of the photos with his tanned finger."This is me, and the one in Aunt Elaine's arms is Carly."So, it was indeed Elaine!Beverly looked up and met Marvin's gaze.Seeing the shock in her expression, Marvin knew she was at least beginning to believe him."Bev, I k

Beverly immediately tried to pull away, but Evan refused to let go."Let go of me! You don't want to be arrested, do you?" Beverly said angrily."Can you tell me why you're so angry first? I only came to deliver an opening ceremony invitation."Evan's dark eyes were deep and intense. He knew the reason.Tyler stormed forward and defended Beverly. "Mr. Gray, you're being utterly unreasonable. You just took 80 million dollars from Ms. Sinclair, and now you're warning investors not to put money into Shield Link Technologies!"Evan released Beverly's hand. "It wasn't me."Tyler, driven by a sense of justice, retorted, "An old friend of mine wanted to invest three million dollars in us to help with the cash flow, but your company just rejected his building materials. And you're even suing him for breach of contract!" "Which company?""Cochran Timber Corporation," Tyler replied.At that moment, Evan's assistant, Malcolm Pratt, spoke up. "That company uses substandard timber as a su

James immediately wrapped one hand around Beverly's slender waist and pulled her into his embrace."This is Mr. Romero's wife," he whispered in her ear.His voice was as calm as ever, yet it seemed to carry a hint of amusement.Beverly's face flushed when she realized her mistake. She lowered her gaze and said, "Sorry."Bernice Nash, however, didn't mind and smiled. "Everyone knows James is married to you. Don't worry, this is my family's event. If anyone dares act out in front of him, you won't need to lift a finger—I'll skin her alive myself. Your clothes are all dirty now. Come with me; I'll get something clean for you to change into.""Okay," Beverly responded softly, her hand resting on James' arm. She felt he was holding her too tightly, their closeness too intimate. It always reminded her of that restrained kiss on their wedding night.But with so many eyes on them, she couldn't ask him to let go. In the end, she had no choice but to let him hold her as they followed Berni
