Semua Bab You Watched Me Break, Now Watch Me Rise: Bab 431 - Bab 440

Beverly had inherited Elaine's intelligence and talent. It seemed Harold had inherited hers as well.Beverly's IQ was only 145, yet Harold's was 150. He was her flesh and blood, and that was fact, no matter who his father was.Tears started streaming from Harold's eyes, and Beverly gently wiped them away. He threw himself into her arms and sobbed loudly, "Mom, I know I was wrong!"He didn't know what Evan had done to make her change her mind, but she didn't look happy at all. It made him extremely uneasy, and he was worried she might leave him again at any moment.He clung to her tightly, his voice choked with sobs. "Mom, I won't ever make you sad again."She held him gently and whispered something in his ear.Next to them, Evan watched their interaction and felt as though they had gone back in time. They were a happy family of three again.After they finished their meal, Evan and Beverly dropped Harold off at school together. Harold reluctantly bid Beverly farewell, tears strea

"Beverly! Why couldn't I reach you? James and Esther are both here, so why haven't you arrived yet? Not every day is my birthday, you know!" Tabitha's displeased voice came over the phone.Only then did Beverly remember that Tabitha was having a birthday party tonight."I'll be right over," Beverly said before hanging up and rushing over to the Bronson estate.She wanted to see James.When Beverly walked into the manor, she was stopped by Wanda."Bev, why do you look so disheveled?"At Wanda's words, James—who was at the center of attention—turned his gaze toward Beverly. There were smudges on her white dress, and even her face was covered in soot.Beverly met his gaze. She didn't want him to worry, so she looked back at Wanda and answered, "I tripped.""Did you get hurt?" Wanda asked anxiously.Beverly shook her head. She wanted to go to James and talk to him, but Wanda grabbed her arm. "Let's get you a change of clothes first."Left with no other choice, Beverly followed Wa

From the other side of the door, James could be heard talking to Wendell, but Beverly couldn't make out the words. Instead, she turned on the hairdryer to dry her hair."Ms. Marwood's been taken care of and pacified. Chief, Ms. Bronson's obsession with Mr. Gray runs too deep," Wendell remarked, worried that Tabitha liked Evan so much that she might do something she wouldn't be able to take back."Tell her about Evan's suspected involvement in the shooting," James said. "It's her birthday today. Tell her that I said she can have anything she wants—within reason, of course.""The report from the fire department says the fire at Mr. Gray's villa was caused by electronic devices exploding. It must have been Ms. Sinclair," Wendell said.After hearing his report, James dismissed Wendell.The hair dryer whirred in the bathroom for a long time. When the bathroom door finally swung open, James reached out and switched off the bedroom lights. The soft glow of the light from the bathroom s

Tabitha's tearful, almost pleading voice came from the doorway. "James… James, I just want to be with Beverly for a bit."She was sobbing hard, but she still obediently turned and left, closing the door behind her.James looked back at Beverly, who was slowly coming out of her daze."What's wrong with Tabby?" she asked. James' breathing deepened, and he pressed a kiss to the corner of her mouth. "Ignore her?""It's her birthday today, and I haven't given her my gift yet," Beverly replied, pushing against his chest.He promptly caught her hand and brought it to his lips for a kiss. She realized just how clingy he was. Then, she remembered something."What was the surprise tonight? You said you wanted to celebrate something for me."She recalled the rose petals scattered all across the floor of Rosewood Manor.James' gaze dropped to her face, drifting over her delicate features softened by the dim light. His large hand gently cupped her face and smoothed away the strands of hai

At that moment, Evan swooped in and shielded Beverly. He leveled an icy look at Kyle, whose fist collided with Marvin's face, knocking him to the ground."What the hell have you done to my sister?" Kyle demanded hysterically as he hauled Marvin up by his shirt collar, throwing another punch at his face. His entire being was consumed by white-hot rage. "What the hell have you done?"A pained, distorted cry escaped Marvin. "What the hell's gotten into you, Kyle? You said you wanted nothing to do with her—""I asked you a question! What the hell have you done to her?" Kyle's fist landed on Marvin's face again.Camelia screamed, "Stop! Stop hitting him!"Only then did the crowd snap out of their daze. Harvey hurried forward to break up the fight. "Calm down and use words instead!"But Kyle was a raging force that couldn't be stopped.Marvin had no idea what madness had come over Kyle and could only say helplessly, "I'm sorry! I'm sorry I put her through so much! It was my fault! S
