Semua Bab You Watched Me Break, Now Watch Me Rise: Bab 361 - Bab 370

James called out toward the door, "Go to the Bronson estate and fetch one of Tabitha's dresses."The maid outside immediately acknowledged the order.While giving instructions, James didn't stop what he was doing. His hands slipped beneath the cloak to undo the side clasp near Beverly's chest. He had no experience with this and couldn't see what he was doing. He was relying solely on touch.Beverly felt wronged by James' mild scolding. He'd never spoken harshly to her before. She'd assumed she was just as skinny as Bernice, and with him sitting there, she'd grown nervous and had wanted to finish dressing quickly.Seeing Beverly on the verge of tears and noting her delicate demeanor, James felt unbearably tense and restless. He closed his eyes, suppressing his emotions.With no other choice, he loosened the cloak around her chest and unfastened the side clasp. The movement revealed a glimpse of her soft skin. He quickly drew the cloak closed again.Suddenly, the door creaked open.

James raised his hand and gently smoothed the hair on her temple, his gaze tender.Before he could answer, Victor said, "Isn't it normal for a husband to finish what his wife leaves?"So, it was because James was afraid Victor and the others might notice something. But wasn't he a germaphobe?Beverly took a step back to avoid his hand.James withdrew his hand and glanced at Victor. Only then did Victor remember the real business at hand. "Bev, let me introduce you to Hugo Henderson, the head of the Security Center. He's currently developing a crime prediction system, and having heard that you helped me solve the online bank theft case, he'd like to invite you to share some of your insights as a consultant."Of course, Victor would never reveal Beverly's true identity since it concerned her safety.Hugo hadn't expected the tech expert Victor had mentioned to be a young woman, nor had he expected her to be James' wife. Considering this connection, he frowned slightly.Victor cou

The scent of alcohol permeated the air, blurring inhibitions and stripping away the facades they'd maintained so fiercely in their sober hours.James kept whispering in Beverly's ear, "Your champagne was so sweet. Does the hangover cure still taste bitter? Don't have anything cold for the next few days. And let Kathy stay."With every sentence, he would kiss her, feeding her the hangover cure. "From now on, don't drink alcohol."Beverly had swallowed quite a bit and was gradually beginning to feel better. She pressed her hands against James' chest, her face burning hot as she murmured, "No more. It's too bitter."James cupped her flushed cheeks, feeling the heat rising in her because of him. A faint smile touched his lips as he gently pressed his mouth to hers and softly replied, "Okay."Then, he deepened the kiss.…Beverly didn't know when James had left. He'd kissed her into a daze, and she'd fallen asleep.When she woke, she found a bowl of hangover cure still sitting on th

Beverly was in an exceptionally good mood until she ran into Evan on her way out of the auction house."Bev, my mom and Christina have returned to Alterra, and I need to go for a follow-up appointment. Could you look after Harry for me?" Evan pressed a hand to his chest, over the spot where he'd been shot.Since the shooting at the wedding, no further leads had been uncovered after Sheldon had been released on bail and fled.Evan had been awarded the Medal of Valor for saving James. When he brought it up, Beverly thought of James and found it hard to refuse.But…Right in front of Evan, she took out her phone and called Ashley."You're fired."Evan fixed his deep, dark eyes on Beverly. "Bev, why did you fire Dr. Tate? It seemed to me like she was having a good impact on your treatment.""Why?" Beverly let out a cold laugh. "Evan, you had Ashley deliver the hangover cure last night. You also instructed her to show me that photo album from the charitable foundation."Ashley is a

The doctor said, "Since Ms. Sinclair is also here, I'd like to discuss some follow-up details regarding Harold's head injury with both of you. Ms. Bronson, please step out for now."Tabitha glanced at Evan and Beverly. She had no choice but to leave the hospital room. Through the glass window, she watched as Evan's gaze remained fixed on Beverly.She felt a surge of panic. She'd assumed that Beverly wouldn't go back to Evan even if things between her and James were strained. After all, Evan had taken a bullet for Beverly, yet she hadn't so much as frowned. That was proof that she truly hated him.In that moment, Tabitha deeply regretted encouraging Beverly to leave James after drinking last night.She quickly sent a message to James. "James, when are you coming back? If you don't return soon, Beverly really won't want you anymore. She's going to remarry Evan."Tabitha felt this was a real possibility. Anxious and unsure of what to do, she hoped James would come back soon to win Be
