Semua Bab You Watched Me Break, Now Watch Me Rise: Bab 631 - Bab 640

Beverly widened her beautiful almond-shaped eyes, unable to hide her surprise. "How did you know?"It was because James, of all people, had thrown someone else's phone. It sounded almost unbelievable, and yet Anna had guessed it.James tried to cover Beverly's mouth, but it was already too late. He looked at her, half-amused and half exasperated.Anna crooked a finger at Beverly, and the latter slipped out of James' arms to lean closer to her."He was jealous because he likes you," Anna whispered very softly.A shy expression spread across Beverly's face, and even her voice turned gentle and coy. "It really seems that way.""Yeah, it's true," Anna replied with a smile.In truth, she didn't know whether James was genuinely falling for Beverly or if it was just a man's possessiveness at play.To Anna, James was extremely powerful and frightening. He'd directly orchestrated Gwen's life by marrying her off without the slightest hesitation. Just thinking about being in Gwen's shoe

"Excuse me?" Damien felt bewildered. "What nonsense are you talking about? There's no way I like Dr. Parker.""Then why ask about her?" William pressed.Damien frowned at William. "It's like I'm talking to a wall here."With William interrupting and James staying detached and unresponsive, Damien gave up and walked away to find Timothy instead.William idly pushed the chips around the table as he watched Damien leave. "What kind of scientist is he, anyway? I thought they were supposed to be smart."James furrowed his brow, his expression cool and distant.William took the sleeping Esther from James' arm and held her close. He knew that even though James was injured badly, he didn't want to let anyone worry."He should know that both of you have a taste for the unconventional, airheaded types. If he doesn't care for classic beauties, why would you be interested in them either?" William muttered under his breath.William's brow furrowed with a hint of melancholy at the sight of J

Evan stood under the veranda with a glass of whiskey in hand."Let's hear it," he said after taking a light sip."When Esther and Harry come to see you, there must be someone from our side accompanying them," Beverly replied."That's fine," Evan replied softly.Ideally, Beverly herself would come. But he knew James would never allow it. Still, Evan would find a way. As long as Esther and Harold were willing to come, Beverly would have to follow eventually."After the signing ceremony tomorrow, we'll discuss the details of the agreement," Evan continued."Of course."It went without saying that they would need to work out the time and specifics.Suddenly, a soft gasp came through from Beverly's end.Alarmed, Evan instantly tightened his grip on his phone. "Bev? Bev!""T-talk to you… tomorrow then." Her broken, breathless reply came through before the call was abruptly cut off.Evan's heart was racing like a roller coaster. He'd heard the sound of kissing and Beverly's shy moa

James' heart lurched slightly. He placed a large hand on Harold's back. "I'll try every possible way to save your mother. But Harry, can you do something for me?"Harry looked up at him. "What?""Don't tell anyone about this—not even your mother. And just live well with her. That's all."Harold nodded, tears welling up and spilling from his eyes.…The next day, Beverly was woken by her ringing phone.On the other end, Anna was sharp and impatient. "Don't you want the 50 million dollars? You're already an hour late. If you're not here soon, I'm lowering the price to 40 million dollars."Beverly rubbed her head groggily. "I'll be there right away."She knew Anna was only joking.After washing up and changing, she hurried downstairs.Harold and Esther were having breakfast in the dining room, with Maya and Kathy looking after them.Beverly went over and kissed Esther on the cheek. Then, she ruffled Harold's hair and said, "I'm already late to work, so Ramon will take you two t

Beverly's face was exquisitely lovely, and her complexion was fair. Dark, luxurious lashes swept like butterfly wings above eyes as clear and deep as a lake, where a shy smile seemed to shimmer in the changing light.When James didn't respond to her, she slowly reached out and tugged gently at his sleeve."Are you busy?" she asked.Beverly noticed the people waiting behind James. She'd expected as much. She held out the box in her hand toward him."I'll leave you to it then. Bye."Having worked for James for years, she knew exactly how he looked when he was busy. That was why she'd hesitated earlier.She'd only come over to give James the gift. Since she'd already bought it, she figured she might as well hand it over and leave right after.Beverly's radiant reflection shone in James' clear, dark eyes. Suddenly, those dark irises brightened, as if light had broken into their depths.He reached out and wrapped an arm around her slender waist. The sweet, familiar scent of her fill
