All Chapters of You Watched Me Break, Now Watch Me Rise: Chapter 511 - Chapter 520

Hearing James' words, Beverly felt as though a massive stone were pressing on her chest, leaving her breathless.James watched her quietly, waiting.When she met his expectant gaze, her mind flooded with the promise she had made to Wanda and the existence of his close female friend.And then, there was also Evan. She had loved him deeply, truly and completely, only to be betrayed by him. Evan had been just as good to Beverly. He had watched over her through countless days and nights, repeatedly pulling her back from the depths of despair.He had cheated on her for the whole five years, but she hadn't figured it out until the very end, all because he had never once stopped being good to her. She had been totally clueless about his betrayal, and that was exactly why she had been strung along for so long.Beverly buried her face against James' chest, feeling utterly lost. She didn't want to leave her heart with James. She was terrified that if she did, it would one day shatter just

Beverly's heart thudded loudly. Tears shimmered in her dark eyes, their shifting ripples catching the light as her gaze slowly drifted over James' face.She took a step toward him.James stood up. Traces of joy peeked through his usual cool exterior as he crossed the room in long strides. He held out his hand to her, and she placed her smaller hand into his larger one.Their eyes met, gently and quietly.Online, commenters were having the time of their lives digging through the ten full pages of listed assets.One of them wrote, "So this is what it means to leave the marriage with nothing."Beverly held her phone in her other hand, the screen still showing the comment "The whole list is absurd"."Why did you even list your clothes? What would I possibly need them for?" she asked.Seeing that she'd calmed down, James met her gaze quietly. "It's an old habit of Wendell's…"Truthfully, he had wanted to add himself to the list, too."It's an accountant's occupational disease. Old

James held Beverly by the waist as a waiter opened the door to the kids' restaurant for them.Inside, Beverly was shocked to see Evan playing with Harold and Esther. Dressed in a clown suit, Evan twisted a balloon into the shape of a rabbit and handed it to Esther.Esther was absolutely delighted. When she saw James and Beverly, she dashed over to them and threw her arms around Beverly. "Mommy! I've been waiting so long for you!"Beverly staggered from the impact, but James caught her firmly. Esther then wrapped herself around James' leg. "Daddy! I love the clown you invited! He can juggle, tell jokes, and even do magic tricks!"James leaned down and scooped her up. His cool gaze swept over Harold, whose expression was tinged with sadness and a trace of guilt."As long as you like him," James replied lightly.Resting her little cheek on his shoulder, Esther whispered, "You're amazing, Daddy. You won Mommy back!"She planted a big kiss on his cheek.James' expression softened. T

James grabbed Beverly's hand. Lowering his voice, he whispered in her ear, "She offended me."He sounded almost as if he were tattling.Beverly blinked in surprise. "She was just flirting and trying to get your number. She didn't mean to offend you.""She offended you," James said as he took off his suit jacket and tossed it into a nearby trash can.He hadn't forgotten the last time he'd exchanged a few words with Sally. Beverly had nearly disowned him."Not really. She probably didn't even know you're married."Beverly glanced at the discarded suit jacket. She couldn't quite explain why, but her heart warmed at his gesture."Let her go," she urged.James shot Ramon a look, and he quickly released the young lady, even apologizing to her."I should wear a ring," James muttered, meeting Beverly's confused gaze.He wrapped his arm around her waist as they walked forward. "Flirting? Are there a lot of people who hit on you and ask for your number?" he whispered into her ear.It

"I should've been the one married to you! Why Beverly? Why does she deserve to be your wife?" Jessica wailed.James stopped mid-step. He bent down slightly, meeting Jessica's tear-streaked face.A ruthlessness that Jessica had never seen before glinted in his eyes. It made sense. After all, he was someone who had clawed himself back from the brink of death.James' voice was indifferent. "Do you like me?"Jessica stared up at him in shock. Then, she nodded eagerly, as if she had seen a ray of hope."So, you want to kill my wife just because you like me?" His tone grew icy. "You don't deserve to live. You show contempt for life itself—others' and your own."Suddenly, Evan's words from earlier echoed in James' mind, and a deep sense of crisis struck him. He strode forward, and Jessica fell to the floor with a shriek."Chief! I can testify! I'll testify that Mr. Dawson killed Mr. Kyle."She didn't have any hope left. It was all long gone. James was even willing to destroy his own c
