Semua Bab You Watched Me Break, Now Watch Me Rise: Bab 661 - Bab 670

Harold's heart finally settled back into place. Withdrawing his gaze, he focused on the ball in front of him, and a proud smile appeared on his small face."Timmy might not like playing soccer, but if he finds out I'm going to Britas, he'll definitely be super jealous."Beverly hummed softly in response before stepping out of the lounge, and Trudy immediately followed. Beverly shot her a glance but said nothing.She drove out of the government complex and headed home first. After diverting Trudy's attention elsewhere, she retrieved the passports and other important documents for herself and the two kids.Then, she went to the Security Center. The design proposal for the facial recognition transmitter had been finalized at last."Shield Link Technologies is very busy, so I'll guide them remotely from now on," she said to Hugo quietly.From the second floor, she could see the entire Security Center in front of her. It was as large as dozens of soccer fields, filled with tens of tho

Tears rolled down Beverly's cheek and onto James' palm. His hand slowly fell from her face as he stared into her dark, glistening eyes. They were like the moon's reflection on the sea surface, rippled by wave after rolling wave."Honey, what happened?"She looked so sad that his heart wrenched.Beverly's slender shoulders trembled. She lowered her head as she frantically wiped her tears away. Then, she lifted her delicate, chiseled face.Perhaps owing to her sheltered upbringing, Beverly's beauty had a certain innocence about it. She was also prone to crying, and her tears always made her already-alluring eyes clearer and brighter.The way she stared at James as she did now, with her hand clasped around his, made it hard for him to look away."James, did you like me all those years ago because you felt sorry for me, a motherless orphan with a cheating father? Do you love me now because you still feel sorry for me?" Beverly put a hand to her chest. "Because my ex-husband cheated o

Beverly smacked James' hand off and snapped, "And you even said that Esther has taken to calling you 'Daddy', and it would be hard for a one-year-old to change habits. After that, you produced a dozen documents…"When I first saw those documents, I was told the top brass were pressuring you to marry. To go along with them, you asked me to marry you. Were those documents even real? Did you teach Esther to call you 'Daddy'?"Last night, one of the things James had mentioned had struck true.He was busier than he'd ever been in the days following Esther's birth, but it was also his proudest moment. He'd protected the base in the Haldera Ocean, and his accomplishment had stunned everyone.He got both the credit and glory for that.At the time, Beverly was so weak that she worked mostly from home. James dropped by often to hear her report on progress. During his visits, he would smoothly take Esther from Maya.By Esther's fourth month, she was starting to make sounds and often called

"May you always have peace and a smooth-sailing career," Beverly said."Okay." James flashed her a smile.She slid her arms around his waist and buried her face in his chest, breathing in his familiar, unique scent. "James, I'll watch your inauguration on TV. I'll be proud of you."James lowered his gaze on Beverly and gently caressed her soft hair, chuckling. It sounded as if she were placating a child.…Beverly watched James get into his car, her gaze tracking his fleet of cars as it left. She then glanced over her shoulder to see that Trudy had settled into the passenger seat. She and William were discussing what they would have for dinner.Withdrawing her gaze, Beverly started the car.Upon returning to the government complex, she ate with her children, then watched some cartoons, gave them a bath, and put them to bed. After she'd tucked Esther and Harold into bed, she got up to pack their athleisure wear for the trip to Britas.She opened the closet door, only to stare bl

Kyle suddenly rolled down the car window and stared at the frantically blinking traffic lights. He took off his glasses. A hacker had breached the traffic system—and it was none other than Beverly!"Go, go, go!" Kyle urged the cab driver.…Over at the government complex, no sooner had Beverly and Kyle sped off in their getaway car than Trudy emerged from the fire escape stairwell. She stood still for a moment, then headed back.Within two minutes, the doors of the elevator going up from the basement parking lot to the fifth floor had opened and closed six times.No one knew what Trudy was thinking.She left the elevator and saw William barreling toward her. He was so beside himself with panic that his voice cracked. Chaos had erupted in the building, and the special forces operators seemed to be frantically searching too."Have you seen Beverly?" William demanded."What's the matter?" Trudy asked."She's gone missing, and so have Esther and Harry!"William noticed Trudy goin
