Chapter 411

Wayne observed everything with a calm look in his eyes. Seated around the table were several figures from the political sphere, exchanging pleasantries and subtly directing conversations toward James.His demeanor remained cool and detached. He offered only occasional replies, always steering toward peripheral topics and never engaging with the core of their implications.Just then, a server came in, leading Casey, the head of dermatology at the hospital, in."Thanks for coming," James said mildly.Casey, visibly flattered, took a seat beside Beverly and carefully disinfected, treated, and bandaged her wound."Mrs. Bronson, you must be more careful. If the wound keeps reopening, it may leave a scar, and that would be a shame."Evan watched as Beverly's bright eyes met James'. His attention then fell to the injury on her finger, and he recalled how she had frowned in discomfort at the school gates that morning when he'd grabbed her hand.Anxious, he walked over and asked, "Did

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

Chapter 413

Evan slammed his fist hard against the corridor pillar.Sally rushed over anxiously and reached for his hand. But the moment she touched him, he released the pillar and closed his hand around Sally's throat instead.He pinned her against the pillar and whispered furiously in her ear, "Don't think that just because you hold something over me, you can do as you please. I warn you—stay away from Beverly.""Mr. Gray, I don't know what you're talking about.""You don't?" Evan unlocked his phone, and the screen displayed the surveillance footage from inside the restroom just moments ago. He had heard every word Sally had said to Beverly."Mr. Gray, I was simply standing up for you!""Who gave you the right to speak about Bev that way?""What?"Stunned, Sally pushed through the pain and tried to pry open his strong, powerful hand. All she had done was mock Beverly for two-timing. She hadn't even used a single crude word.As James led Beverly out of the courtyard, Evan finally release

Chapter 414

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

Beverly closed her laptop and stretched wearily. When she lifted her radiant face, her gaze suddenly turned toward the sprinkler on the ceiling, as if looking straight at Evan.…Wayne returned to his office. A video of a past interview with James and Beverly at the Grand Hall was playing inside.Blair Pierce, his secretary, asked, "Mr. Dawson, does a divorce agreement like that really exist? From what I saw today, Mr. and Mrs. Bronson seem to be very much in love."Wayne stopped the video and rubbed the space between his brows. "Better to believe it exists than not. How's your progress with getting close to James' inner circle?""I'm still working on persuading them."Wayne sighed. "Over a decade ago, he was just a brat causing trouble for me. When Harvey stepped down, I thought it was finally my time. Who would have thought this brat would come back to ruin things again?"If he secures that position, it won't be a good outcome—not for me, nor for any of you. Brian is a prime e

"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

Instantly, Beverly recalled what Evan had said today at Vitoria Gastrobar.He'd told her she couldn't handle it—that she was so fragile that she could break at any moment. And that one day, James would grow tired of it too. Then, James' tender whispers by her ear came to mind, and Beverly's skin flushed in an instant.She stared in shock as James pressed his lips to hers, then trailed kisses downward, each one burning like a brand against her flawless skin.His lips fell to her collarbone while his large hand slid upward from her calf, gliding over her trembling skin. His palm cupped her thigh, fingers pressing with deliberate pressure, leaving faint scarlet marks that were neither too light nor too harsh.His other hand gripped the small of her back, locking her firmly in his embrace.Beverly instinctively covered her heart with her hand, but James immediately entwined his fingers with hers. He lifted his head, his gaze meeting her flustered one, and pulled her into his embrace

Chapter 418

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

Chapter 419

But there was no one in the apartment. That was when Kyle realized he'd walked into a trap.Outside, a shadowy figure slipped through the door.Kyle seized the intruder by the throat, only to be thrown to the floor with a swift over-the-shoulder flip. The moment he saw the man's face, he immediately tucked the pistol back into his suit jacket.Evan looked down at Kyle and demanded, "Who are you? Why are you in my wife's apartment?"Kyle rose to his feet and studied Evan closely. "As far as I know, this is Mrs. Bronson's apartment."It didn't take him long to recognize the man before him as Beverly's ex-husband, the one who'd cheated yet now pretended to still be deeply in love with her."And you are certainly not James," Kyle remarked, stepping past Evan to leave.In an instant, Evan gripped his wrist. "You're not going anywhere until you explain yourself!"After learning about Beverly's true identity, Evan couldn't just watch from afar—especially not after Isaac mentioned that

Chapter 420

"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
