Chapter 431

Beverly stared at Evan in disbelief.He grasped her hand, snatching the phone from her grip, and turned it off. His large hand ran over her shoulder, and his heart ached with pain and bitterness when he saw her gaze slowly grow cold.But what else could he do?She'd gone against Elaine's wishes and was gradually making a name for herself in the tech industry. This time it was a government contract. What would it be next?If his people could uncover her true identity, then others could too. He couldn't let anyone threaten her life. As long as she returned to his side, it didn't matter if she hated him.He rested his hand gently on her shoulder, his dark, unreadable eyes brimming with an irrepressible tenderness."I never signed the divorce agreement three years ago. I didn't sign the actual papers in that video I released to the public years ago."Beverly's lashes trembled slightly, but she said nothing.He continued, "Even if we've been apart for three years, my consent is stil

Chapter 432

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 walked out of the main bedroom and went down the hallway, checking each room until she finally arrived at the study.In the dim light, the large wall-mounted screens glowed faintly, showing a surveillance feed of her office.She spotted a laptop on the desk, and her hands started flying across the keyboard. Within seconds, the laptop was unlocked, and she saw a program used specifically by hackers.At that exact moment, the door to the study swung open, and Evan's voice rang out. "Pack your things and get out of the villa right now. My wife can't see any of—"The lights flicked on. Beverly met Evan's shocked gaze. Behind him stood a panicked Isaac. Seeing the laptop screen and Beverly's finger poised over the "Enter" key, Isaac started panicking. "No! Cipher! Please don't destroy my laptop! I'm not here to go against you, and I didn't mean to track you either. I was just hired by Mr. Gray to find his wife, and I stumbled upon you by accident."Seeing Evan just standing

"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

Beverly reached for the person who'd fallen into the water and realized it was Sally. She slipped her arms under Sally's from behind, pulling the latter close as she dragged her toward the lake's edge.As they neared the shore, Sally's panic visibly eased, but she suddenly refused to cooperate, turning to push Beverly away.Caught off guard, Beverly lost her footing and plunged back into the lake. Unable to steady herself, she began choking. Suddenly, she disappeared beneath the surface."Help!" Camelia, watching from the shore, screamed. "Bev!"She resented Beverly, but she'd never wished the latter real harm.A dark figure dove into the lake. Within seconds, Evan carried Beverly ashore.Camelia rushed over. "Bev! Are you okay?"Still coughing violently, Beverly heard the familiar voice and nickname and looked toward Camelia. She realized she was in Evan's arms, with Camelia right beside her. It was as if they had returned to the past.For a moment, she looked dazed."Chief B

Chapter 436

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

James lost all control. He cupped Beverly's face, peppering kisses on her lips, her cheeks, and her soft skin. His hand settled on her back as he pulled her into his embrace, pressing her tightly against him. It was the first time he'd ever held her this close. It was as if he wanted to fuse her into his very bones.He struggled to hold on to reason. He lifted his head slightly and looked at her flushed face, her red lips, and her glassy eyes. In a low, husky voice, he asked, "You feel it, don't you? Can I?"He fought to hold himself back, his muscles tense and his veins bulging across the backs of his hands. Her initiative and tenderness seemed to fan the fire under his skin, making him feel as if he were roasting over open flames.When Beverly met his tender gaze, tears instantly spilled from her eyes. She switched off the bathroom light, straightened her back, and pressed herself fully against him.Brushing her lips against his, she murmured a soft hum in response.His raci

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

Chapter 439

Beverly recalled the first time she'd met Evan. She'd been perched on the windowsill when he'd said, "Miss, it's dangerous to sit there."When she'd refused to come down, he'd walked over and sat beside her. Then, he'd wrapped an arm around her waist and leaned her further out of the window.Terrified, she'd immediately shrunk back and thrown her arms around his neck.He'd looked at her and said, "If you do it again, I'll throw you out."That was how he'd barged into her world—by scaring her to tears. Because of that, Heather had scolded him, and he'd been forced to cheer her up. After that, he'd come every day just to make her smile.Back then, he'd been wearing a hospital gown as well. He'd been a regular at the hospital for quite some time, and it was only when she'd finally been discharged that he was as well. She'd never found out what illness he had. He hadn't shown any symptoms at all. He'd only said that he'd been cured after meeting her. She was his medicine.Beverly d

Chapter 440

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
