"Oh really? Your wife?"

David showed a surprised expression after hearing Brent's statement. However, that was just a pretense. In fact, almost everyone who knew Brent had heard about his marriage. Moreover, there is a special media for business people to spread the news.

"I've kept Beverley under wraps for too long. Wouldn't I be a scumbag if I didn't marry her soon?" asked Brent, grinning at David. His left hand gently caressed the long hair of the woman in his lap.

Beverley could only swallow her saliva. She surreptitiously clutched Brent's suit until it crumpled. Does she have to follow the man's game?

"Oh, so her name is Beverley. A pretty name, just like the person." David smiled knowingly. "Why don't you introduce us to each other?"

Brent raised one corner of his eyebrows. He looked at Beverley and then gently lifted her chin. "Honey, do you want to meet him?"

The question made Beverley a little confused. She honestly didn't want to care about David. She didn't want to know him

    Beverley could only remain silent with a stiff body. Her heart was filled with bitterness when she saw Brent pouring himself some wine. On the other side, David smiled, satisfied with Brent's decision."Mrs. Oliver, why don't you join us?" One of the comfort women beside David asked casually. "You should at least support your husband, right?"Beverley took a deep breath. Finally, she sat back down. But she didn't say anything, just watched how Brent would play.Brent and David downed a glass of wine together. The two stared at each other deeply. "It's a childish game," he said.David grinned.

    "But you are my wife," Brent whispered. The man lowered one of the straps of her dress. "You can't refuse your husband's wishes.""No, Brent. We're not—"Brent kissed her again to silence the words she wanted to say. His large palms cupped her breasts, squeezing them, twisting her nipples, and sending her thoughts into disarray. She moaned, and her body trembled."You're getting horny, honey," Brent whispered, licking her ear. Suddenly his hand went down to her stomach and then down again."No!""Don't touch it!"Beverley screamed, then opened her eyes while panting. She immediately changed her position to a sitting one, then wiped the sweat dripping down her forehead. "Oh, Lord! What kind of dream was that?!"She gets irritated and angry. Since the night when Brent got drunk at the nightclub, she has had two abnormal dreams. The man had come to her in her dreams, haunting her with something obscene.

    "Ma'am, please come up," Jace said to Beverley. The woman was still frozen in front of the stairs leading to Brent's private jet."Are you serious?" Beverley silently swallowed her saliva. She didn't want to look like a country girl, but this was her first time seeing a private jet in person. Of course, she was stunned!Brent, who had gone up first, turned and looked down. He smiled mockingly. "Hurry up! You can still admire the jet from the inside."Beverley snorted coldly. She flicked her long hair back gracefully and caught up with Brent. She didn't want him to make fun of her for looking like a country girl.The inside of the cabin is different from an airplane cabin in general. It's not broad. There are only a few seats. Everything looks luxurious and dominated by white.A handsome young man in a pilot's outfit stepped out of a closed door. The man smiled at Brent and Beverley.

    "You guys go first. I'll catch up later," said Brent with a cold expression.Beverley didn't understand what the problem was, but she was too lazy to ask. She and Jace continued their steps to the room they were going to occupy.Meanwhile, Brent walked down the corridor, where he had seen a woman he knew very well. He took out his cell phone and called someone. Moments later, his girlfriend's sweet voice was heard. "Hello, Honey. Have you arrived in Hawaii yet?""I got here a moment ago," Brent replied. "Are you still busy with the photo shooting session at the studio?"Natalie didn't answer right away. The woman then chuckled. "I'm taking a short break. This day is very tiring. I can't talk much with you.""Oh really?" Brent stopped in front of a closed bedroom door. His eyes turned cold. He knocked on the door several times."Wait a moment." Natalie's voice came from the phone.The door to the room then opened. Natalie, who was standing behind it, was suddenly surprised to see Brent

    Beverley didn't care that Brent still hadn't returned. By this time, she had arrived at the hotel room and received some directions from the hotel staff. After they left, she immediately admired the entire extremely spacious room.It was a truly amazing room. Apart from the master bedroom, there is also a sizable living room and a kitchen equipped with a pantry, mini bar, and coffee maker. When else would she have the chance to enjoy such luxury?The king-size bed is decorated with towels formed into two swans facing each other. There is a sprinkling of fresh roses around it.Beverley snorted. "So Carol meant what she said. But this will be useless," she commented.Then she opened the glass door that led to a balcony terrace, which was quite wide. The terrace faces directly to the sea. It's a very strategic place to enjoy the beauty of Waikiki Beach.It's almost dusk. Beverley wanted to see the sunset. At that moment, the door to the room opened. She looked back and saw Brent enter.

    Beverley returned to the room with a tired face. She opened the door and immediately saw Brent, who was waiting for her on the sofa with a neat appearance. The man looked at her sharply.“Why are you taking so long?” Brent sounded exasperated. Beverley sighed and, without saying anything, went straight into the bathroom.Brent frowned. Why did that woman look upset and unhappy?After a while, Beverley finally came out of the bathroom. Brent immediately ordered, “Get ready! We have to go meet potential investors.”“What?” Beverley immediately shook her head. “No. I’m tired and don’t want to go anywhere. You go alone,” she said as she walked into the kitchen.She took mineral water from a small refrigerator. When she was about to open the bottle cap, Brent snatched it away. “You must come.”“Brent, stop forcing me!” Beverley exclaimed in annoyance. “If I say I don’t want to go with you, then I don’t want to!”Brent frowned. “Do you remember those written rules?

    “That’s not true, Brent.” Beverley shook her head several times. “I don’t know him at all. The man hit me hard and then tried to hold my falling body.”Brent frowned. He lifted Beverley’s wrist, which had been red this morning. “So what about this?” he asked probingly.Beverley didn’t know what to say. If she told Brent about Natalie’s bad behavior, would he believe her?“See, you can’t even answer!” Brent ground his teeth. “Did that man abuse you when he didn’t even know you? Or are you going to say he abused you like you always accuse me of doing to you?”Those words made Beverley angry. “He didn’t do that, but what you did in the past is real!”Brent laughed mockingly. “Bullshit!”“You never want to admit it, do you? What an asshole!” Beverley cursed. “Ask your girlfriend how a picture like this could go viral. Do you think I’m such a slutty woman to make out with another man?”“Don’t bring Natalie up!” Brent growled.“But she’s the one who did it!” Beverley yelled with reddened ey

    Chris’s death was a heavy blow to Brent and Michael. Chris had harmed them greatly and caused much trouble for the Oliver family. However, they didn’t want him to die at all.In the days following the funeral, Brent became very busy. He struggled to investigate who had masterminded the accident. The police were investigating, but he couldn’t rely solely on them.That problem caused a significant reduction in his time with Beverley. She understood that. However, she wondered how serious the matter was.It was almost midnight, and Brent hadn’t gone upstairs to bed even though he was home from work. Beverley stepped down the stairs carefully. No one seemed to be hanging around the mansion. The servants had already rested.Beverley peered out into the courtyard and saw Ryan’s car parked there. ‘They’re still here,’ she thought.She cautiously stepped closer to the rarely used reading room. It was on the west side of the mansion. Lately, Brent often gathered with some strangers there until

    Tears fell on Brent’s face. He immediately turned around and hugged Beverley. His body trembled, and he cried silently.Beverley hugged him tightly. She understood his grief. Brent usually seemed to hate Chris so much. However, he had always protected him.As angry as Brent was, he never went cruel or too far with Chris. The threats that came out of his mouth were just words he didn’t mean. The man had always secretly loved Chris. Or he never realized it.“All this time, I was in no hurry to reconcile with him. I thought... we had more time,” Brent whispered with his eyes closed.“I shouldn’t have gone to New York. That should have been a sign.”Beverley stroked Brent’s back. Her palm felt the traces of fabric across his back. Her brow furrowed deeply. Was what Chris said true? She tried to put that aside for the moment.“Brent, even if you don’t go to New York, you can’t change fate,” Beverley whispered. “You have to let him go.”Brent said nothing. He let go of his embrace and then

Her face was deathly pale. “No, no, no. Chris, are you okay?!”She tried to stand up, but her legs were sore and weak. Her stomach and head hurt, too. Frantically, she crawled over to the man.Chris was choking and out of breath. Beverley burst into tears immediately after seeing how bad his condition was. She immediately held his hand.“Chris, I’ll call for help. Please hold on,” she pleaded in a trembling voice. She quickly grabbed her cell phone, but Chris gripped her hand.“Beverley...” Chris called out weakly.“Don’t say anything, please!” Beverley tearfully tried to control her trembling hands. She dialed 911 in a panic.“I’m sorry... Bev,” Chris whispered with difficulty. He felt his body floating higher and higher. His chest was tight. Pain shot from his head to his toes.“No, Chris. Do

The old man tapped her shoulder and whispered, “Brent should be arriving in Los Angeles soon. That boy is really...”Beverley shook her head and smiled. “He ran into some obstacles that delayed him. That’s okay. He’s in another state, after all. Going home will take hours.”Yesterday, Brent had said he would return home as soon as the meeting was over. However, the man admitted that he found a serious problem that was impossible to leave behind. In the end, he could only return today.“I’m glad that you understand.

    The next day, something surprising happened. Beverley had just arrived at Katy’s cafe that morning. Her cell phone suddenly rang. There was an incoming call from James.“It’s so rare that James calls me,” she muttered and answered the phone immediately. “Hello, Dad.”The sound of James crying suddenly entered Beverley’s ears. The man didn’t say anything, and that worried her. “Dad, what’s wrong? Why are you crying?”James sobbed. “Emma....”“What about Emma?” Beverley immediately stood up from the chair. She felt uneasy. Did something bad happen?“She’s taken so many drugs. She overdosed, Bev,” James whispered in a weak voice.Beverley widened her eyes in disbelief. “How... how is that possible?”The sound of James’ sobs could be heard again, along with the noise of several people. There were many people in the place where the man was. And that worried Beverley even more.“Dad, where are you right now? I’ll be right there.”“Come to the house, Bev. They’re taking care of her body,” Ja

    That morning, Beverley woke up with an aching body. A muscular hand curled around her waist. She stroked Brent’s chest, which was her pillow, and then sighed.Today, the man was going to New York as usual. It would take a few days. So they had spent a passionate night before parting.“I don’t want to go,” Brent whispered, his eyes closed. His voice was still hoarse from just waking up. The caress on his chest had woken him up.“Why?”“I don’t know. Maybe because I don’t want to part with you. Do you want to go with me?”Beverley sighed. “I still have a lot of work to do, Brent. You know I’ve been swamped lately,” she replied as she listened to Brent’s heartbeat.“Yeah. You’re even thinner.” Brent rubbed his wife’s back. “Don’t get too tired, baby. You’re eating well, right?”Beverley nodded. She actually felt tired. Her body felt more tired than usual. Maybe it was because she had twice as much work to do now in preparation for opening her cafe. She also still had to manage Katy’s caf

    Brent was speechless. Beverley’s response was completely beyond his expectations. She wasn’t angry or thinking negatively of him at all. Instead, she cared about him being uncomfortable with Natalie’s actions.“Honey, you are handsome. It’s only natural for a woman to be obsessed with you. Are you scared, hm?” Beverley rubbed Brent’s head like a mother caring for her child. “Take it easy. I won’t let anyone harass you again.”“....”Brent didn’t know whether to laugh. He held back his smile. His heart felt warmed by Beverley’s treatment. Without saying anything, he kissed her gently on the lips.Natalie, who saw that, became jealous. She felt annoyed to death. Who knew that Beverley wasn’t provoked by her? She was so protective of Brent!Then Beverley broke away from Brent’s kiss. She chuckled and then turned to look at Natalie. Her expression turned cold. Her gaze was sharp.“Aren’t you satisfied with annoying my husband yet?”The woman she asked coughed. “Beverley, don’t forget you

She immediately gripped the man’s thighs. “Brent, I’m afraid I’ll squirt here,” she hissed worriedly.The man kissed her cheek gently. “I’ll take responsibility.”Beverley wore cotton shorts, which made it easier for Brent to go further.

She bit her finger to keep the sound from escaping.Brent giggled. Beverley became annoyed. “What are you laughing for? You’re really torturing me!”“Torturing you?”“Yes, oooh....” Brent rubbed her clitoris, and Beverley’s body instantly stiffened. Her head looked up, with her mouth hanging open.
