Semua Bab You Watched Me Break, Now Watch Me Rise: Bab 461 - Bab 470

Beverly was shocked and bewildered. She crouched down to pick up the photo album. But before her hand touched it, a slender hand reached out and picked the album up. She looked up, and her anxious gaze met Kyle's deep, profound eyes.Kyle closed the photo album and said, "Ms. Chapman, don't you think it's inappropriate for you to mix personal matters with business? Since Henderson Group has invited Shield Link Technologies, as the person in charge, Ms. Sinclair has the right to attend.""Grandma, it's your turn to take the stage," Marvin said, holding Francine's hand.But Francine had no intention of backing down. "It seems you're very interested in the AI resurrection technology. If you want me to acknowledge you, then return James to Carly."If you do that, I will not only acknowledge you but also grant you access to the code for the AI resurrection technology. With that, you'll be able to 'resurrect' your mother."Francine could almost see right through Beverly. Even after b

When Kyle's gaze fell on the laptop in Beverly's hands, he was deeply stunned. He turned his head abruptly, and in that instant, he caught a whiff of danger.Everyone's eyes first turned to Kyle, then were drawn to the special forces operators advancing in unison.Kyle's shock only deepened—where were his men?A tall, slender figure emerged from the group of special forces operators and walked toward Beverly. The shifting light and shadows danced across his handsome face, making him appear otherworldly.James had indeed anticipated everything.While everyone was still stunned, Beverly shook off Evan's hand and stepped forward. Linking her arm with James, she rose on her tiptoes and whispered very softly in his ear, "My defense system has succeeded. It actually managed to block Zero. It's even more powerful than I expected."James bent down to listen carefully, his gaze lingering on her face, which was slightly flushed with excitement.Beverly suddenly became aware that the setti

James murmured a quiet reply to Francine.Francine continued, "You married the wrong person. Carly is the one suitable for you, whereas Beverly…"She glanced back at Beverly, who was whispering something to Anna. The latter's face flushed in anger, shifting between ashen and crimson."Is very good at causing trouble," Francine finished.Her gaze then fell on Marvin, her eyes dark and unreadable.Suddenly, James said evenly, "Life is too short."If he'd married Carly, he would undoubtedly have had a wife who knew her place. Moreover, his political career would have soared even higher with the support of the Henderson and Hanson families.If that was the kind of wife he'd wanted, any Ravenwell social climber would have fit the bill. But that would be utterly dull.Besides, he'd never relied on anyone from the time he'd joined the military as a young man, nor would he need to for the rest of his life.Beverly was his weakness and trouble. But as long as she was his, that was all

Their first time should be born of mutual desire, when Beverly wanted James just as much.And not in the minivan. It had to be somewhere more comfortable.James could wait. Life was long, and he could afford to bide his time.The haze of intimacy and heat slowly dissipated.James cupped Beverly's face, now cooled from its earlier flush, and asked, "Who are the suspects?"She thought hard for a moment before replying, "Anna isn't capable enough to do this.""Okay, so she's ruled out."James' trust in her made Beverly smile. She wrapped her arms around his neck happily. "I've faced Zero before. His system infiltrates others' systems like a virus—constantly invading, infecting, and paralyzing them."He's so arrogant about his abilities that he doesn't even put strong defenses on the backdoor of his system. Unfortunately for him, it was my defensive system that went up against him just now."Beverly grew more excited as she spoke. "Thanks to Mr. Henderson's Security Center, my s

The conversation between Beverly and James in the minivan had angered Kyle.Wayne chided, "Kyle, you were too reckless. If anyone found out you're Zero, the consequences would be unthinkable. You shouldn't have personally retrieved the laptop."Fortunately, I had people planted near James, so I was able to promptly warn you to withdraw the people you'd stationed at the launch event.""Beverly claimed she could breach my system and said my backdoor defenses were weak," Kyle sneered, his entire face taking on a sinister and eerie cast. "Such arrogance! Since I can't have her system, I'll destroy her. She's James' greatest asset and was the one who blocked those hackers at the border. "Dad, as long as we get rid of her, James will be crippled. No—it seems James is quite fond of her, so he might never recover from the blow. How could he still compete with you then? Let me handle this."Wayne fell silent for a long moment. "Are you sure you can do it? Beverly is your sister, after a
