James took the towel Wendell handed him and wrapped Esther in it. He then lifted her from the ground and gently smoothed down her wet hair.Wanting to take Esther back, Beverly moved closer to James, only to meet his indifferent gaze. She froze in place.James was simply too intimidating.Esther mischievously stuck her tongue out at Emmeline. Then, she leaned close to James' ear and whispered in the smallest voice, "Daddy, I was laughing at how silly she was."James lifted the corner of the towel to dry her damp hair, his gaze calm as he gave her a meaningful look. "Someone else is even sillier."Beverly's expression stiffened. Those words were clearly meant for her.Just then, Cindy walked over to Evan and draped a towel over Emmeline."Beverly, Esther pushed Millie into the pool and nearly drowned her. How do you intend to explain this?""Esther would never do such a thing." Having taken off her high heels, Beverly now stood only up to James' chest. Yet, she planted her petit

Beverly stood there, watching Harold and Esther as their voices gradually faded away."Harry, don't hit anyone next time, okay?"Harold nodded. "Got it. I'll listen to whatever you say."Suddenly, a large hand wrapped around Beverly's waist. Her world spun as she was lifted clean off the ground. Startled, she grabbed James' suit jacket. "James?"He'd thrown her over his shoulder right in front of so many people again. But when her hands fisted the hem of his suit jacket, the first thing that came out of her mouth was, "Are you okay? You can't carry me. Put me down."She struggled, trying to get free. Without warning, she felt two not-so-light slaps on her bottom.James' low voice drifted into her ear. "Don't move. I'm running out of strength."Beverly's face instantly burned red. She froze, not daring to struggle anymore.Hearing the commotion, Esther and Harold turned around, only to see James carrying Beverly over his shoulder, one arm wrapped around her legs, while his oth

Cindy's hands were clenched tightly at her sides, her freshly manicured nails digging painfully into her palms, sending sharp stabs straight to her heart.Her gaze was razor-sharp as she glared viciously at Beverly. "Are you satisfied? He's marrying me because of you. It's only because of you that he's making Millie the heir too! All those years he spent chasing fantasies with me, it was only to find a trace of you in me!"Cindy advanced toward Beverly in her high heels, her eyes blazing with fury. "He locked me in that dark psychiatric hospital where I couldn't even see any sunlight for three whole years. Every single day, I wondered—what did you have that I didn't? Why did life treat me so unfairly?"I slit my wrists, trying to kill myself, but he just had people save me over and over again. Each time, I was filled with hope. I thought that even if he didn't love me enough, at least he did love me a little."But I was dead wrong. One month ago, everything changed. Doctors came ev

James strode toward the bathroom quickly. Not even two minutes later, he emerged in a robe and walked into the small living room.There, he found Beverly and Kyle sitting on the couch, their expressions serious.Beverly clutched her chest, taking deep, rapid breaths. Her face was deathly pale, and her eyes were red-rimmed. When she saw James suddenly approaching, she quickly loosened the grip on her shirt and flashed him a smile."I'm just having a chat with Kyle.""It's getting late," James said."Then we'll talk tomorrow. You both get some rest," Kyle said, standing. "I don't have money to pay rent, so I'll just crash downstairs for now. I'll move out when I find a place."Beverly glanced at the watch on Kyle's wrist and recognized the logo. It was worth at least 200 thousand dollars. "Kyle, you've already sold your car… Aren't you going to sell your watch too?"Kyle inwardly cursed her for being heartless. He snuck a glance at James, silently hoping he would back him up."It

James leaned down and whispered in Beverly's ear, his voice low, husky, and magnetic. "I like it."Beverly stood on tiptoe and kissed him hard on the lips.She'd been alarmed when she found that all her high heels had disappeared. She'd thought James had discovered she was pregnant and that was why he'd forbidden her from wearing heels. A small, inexplicable flicker of hope had even stirred in her. If James knew about the pregnancy and was being so cautious that he wouldn't even let her wear high heels, did that mean he'd changed his mind? Was he willing to accept this baby?Still, it was best that he hadn't found out at all.All of Beverly's teasing immediately elicited a certain, involuntary reaction from James.After helping her change into another pair of shoes and walking her out to the car, he immediately instructed Kathy to throw out every single pair of high heels in the manor. He didn't want this baby, nor was he going to permit her to carry it to term, but he also wasn
