Semua Bab You Watched Me Break, Now Watch Me Rise: Bab 411 - Bab 420

Evan released James' collar, his panic rising as he rushed over to hold Beverly and explain. Yet, he couldn't get close to her at all.He could only watch helplessly as she leaned against the wall, struggling to steady her trembling body. Her eyes were filled with utter disappointment and burning anger toward him.Her icy voice cut into him like a knife, carving a pain so deep it felt unbearable."It's true my health is fragile," she said, pressing a hand to her heart. "But you could've asked for a divorce instead. But no—you chose to deceive me and cheat behind my back."Evan, you've wounded my feelings, betrayed our marriage, and forced Harry to grow up in a broken family. All of this is your fault. My poor health is nothing but an excuse you used to justify your own selfish desires.""No, it's not like that. Bev—" But Evan was already being pulled away by Ramon.James walked over to Beverly and gently reached for her hand.She withdrew from his touch, reining in her emotions

In the villa study, Evan—sunk into the sofa—shifted his gaze from Beverly on the large screen to Isaac."Who did you say she is?" Evan asked.Isaac was bursting with excitement. "Mr. Gray, Mrs. Gray is the genius, Cipher—a world-class hacker. She emerged on the dark web 13 years ago and defeated all the top hackers overnight. But then, she vanished without a trace soon after.""All I see is Bev playing Mine Hunter. Why do you call her a genius?" Evan pressed again."Do you see the enlarged Mine Hunter interface with the floating code? Look closely—it flashes by in an instant." Isaac excitedly pointed at the laptop screen Beverly was working at in the surveillance footage, where lightning-fast code flickered intermittently."Legend has it that Cipher's system exists within a game, and she said so herself. After the top hackers were defeated back then, they kept searching for her trail and discovered Cipher's account on a forum."She left a very intriguing message—'Is it really tha

"What did she say?" Beverly asked."That it's her duty to weed out meaningless tech companies. It's infuriating! Ms. Sinclair, my acquaintance implied that someone from our company might've offended Skyscape Tech's lead software engineer. Perhaps we should seek mediation, like Mr. Henderson from the Security Center," Tyler suggested.So, Anna was the one causing trouble, and not Evan?Frowning, Beverly replied, "No need. You and I will go together to assess the situation tomorrow."After driving home, she'd barely stepped through the door when she was immediately attacked in the face with a water gun. The entire house looked as if it had been flooded.The sound of James and Esther playing echoed from the living room."Yay! I hit Mommy!" Esther cheered mischievously as she jumped up and down.James bent down and high-fived her. "That's enough for now. Time for a bath and dinner."Esther nodded obediently and ran toward Beverly.Beverly crouched down and gathered Esther into her

Tabitha, who was playing with Esther in the tent, suddenly grabbed Beverly's hand."Beverly, tomorrow's my birthday. Can you help me invite Evan over?"Beverly looked at her in surprise, and Tabitha immediately realized how inappropriate the request was. She pulled out her phone and opened the trending news, saying with frustration, "Take a look at this."The screen showed several photos of Sally walking arm-in-arm with Evan as they entered a club."Everyone's saying Evan's had a change of heart and that he's fallen for Sally. He started a film production company just for her. Not only did he hire the most famous directors and screenwriters in the industry, but he's also having custom scripts written for her, all aimed at winning major awards."They're trying to turn her into an internationally renowned superstar. Some are even saying they're about to get engaged! I can accept losing to you, but why should I lose to this slut? "Sally's reputation has long been tarnished. Who kno

"Don't let him get closer! He has a gun!" Evan shouted frantically as he watched Kyle approaching Beverly.Yet, James remained motionless, waiting for Kyle to draw near. A red laser dot had already locked onto Kyle's body, shifting from his heart to his temple.Standing before James, Kyle pulled out his pistol and handed it over. In that instant, the sniper hidden on the rooftop chambered a round, ready to fire."You don't trust even me?" Meeting James' cold, oppressive gaze, Kyle took a step back. He then placed both hands on the gun's grip and swiftly disassembled the weapon.Still looking at James, he let go, and the disassembled parts clattered to the ground. There were no bullets inside."My dad was worried, so he gave me this to scare people away," he explained calmly."Did I scare you, Beverly?" Kyle glanced at Beverly. "Nice to meet you. I'm Kyle Dawson, Wayne Dawson's son. I'm also Tabby's current prospective match. I grew up with James."This guy has really made someth
