When Love Turns to Ashes (Beatrice and Caden)

Chapter 340 You Clearly Care About Me So Much

Caden's kiss fell heavily, filled with a strong sense of possessiveness.

Beatrice struggled hard, but the person in front of her remained unmoved, and even became more presumptuous.

When the lips were forcefully pried open, Béatrice raised her hand to resist, but he grabbed both of her hands with one hand and pressed them high above her head.

Click.

Her back hit the switch, and instantly the whole room plunged into darkness.

Only the lights outside the French windows flickered, elongating two intertwined figures.

Beatrice's arms went numb, and before she could recover, her body was lifted up by someone. Shame made Beatrice resist desperately, and she accidentally bumped into her injured hand. "Um..."

She groaned in pain, but her voice was silenced by the man before it could be heard.

In an instant, grievances and humiliations welled up in her eyes, becoming even more captivating under the changing lights of the high-rise buildings outside the window.

The man paused his breath, slightly moved away from her lips, stared deeply at her, and raised his other hand to wipe the corner of her eye.

Beatrice forcefully avoided his hand and angrily exclaimed, "Let go of me!"

The conversation ended.

The dim light outside the window, just happened to fall on Caden's face, making his once indifferent handsome face look terrifyingly paranoid.

In the ink-black eyes, the desire that cannot be dissolved has been lingering on the edge of reason. Beatrice instantly thought of that crazy night in the past.

Caden was drugged.

She struggled harder and said, "Go away! Don't touch me!"

Caden's eyes flickered, his Adam's apple rolling slightly, and he muttered in a hoarse voice, "Why can't I? Why can't I! You clearly care about me so much!"

"I don't care! I don't care about you!" Beatrice turned her head and shouted forcefully.

Even though there were only two people in the room, she shouted as if she was calling out to everyone. "Scammer. Have you forgotten me? Then what did you just call me? Uncle Caden? Do you know that every time you get anxious, you call me the wrong name?" Caden lowered his head, pressing it against Beatrice's forehead, "Hmm?"

His voice was deep and dangerous, his breath hotly landing on her face, making her heart beat violently. Beatrice held her breath and turned her head to stare into his dark, sinking eyes, saying, "I forgot about you, and I am no longer..."

Before the words could even fade, Caden passionately kissed her, so intense that it made her heart tremble. In that instant, all rationality vanished from his eyes, leaving only an instinct akin to that of a wild beast.

"Scammer, scammer..." he mumbled repeatedly.

When he leaned in, Beatrice's face turned pale. "I hate you! I hate you so much!" she cried out. "Hate? Then keep hating... Don't forget about me, okay?"

Caden went crazy.

When Beatrice regained consciousness, she found herself lying in bed...

"Beatrice, Beatrice..."

The man's voice was hoarse and out of tune.

Beatrice trembled all over.

Finally, I fainted.

In a daze, someone helped her up and dressed her.

When the soft fabric slid over the skin, the ambiguous, blue and purple marks on it were hurting. She frowned but couldn't fully open her eyes, only able to see the silhouette of a woman tidying up the aftermath.

But she recognized the scent on the woman's body.

Lacey.

When Beatrice got up from the bed, she was still in so much pain that she fell into Lacey's arms. Lacey gritted her teeth and lifted Beatrice on her back, sneering, "I'll do you a favor, unlucky me." She walked out from the dark door and vented her frustration by kicking Lucia on the ground.

Lucia didn't know that every move she made was being observed by Lacey. never

Today, drugging was just Angie using her to frame Beatrice as the one who drugged Caden and got into bed with him in the past scandal.

In this way, the Soder family would not have approved of Beatrice being Odin's girlfriend, and the Baldwin family would have been able to openly deal with her.

The Guerrero family would have done everything possible to protect Lucia, and in the end, only Beatrice and the story concluded.

However, Angie's original plan was to catch the affair before it happened, so as not to hurt Bella and not to affect the marriage between the Soder family and the Baldwin family.

Just... Angie probably didn't expect that Lucia didn't trust her and actually gave Caden the strongest medicine.

This medicine's effectiveness couldn't be resisted even by ten oxen.

Lucia just wanted to make sure that things couldn't be reversed, so that Odin would no longer have feelings for Beatrice.

As for what role she, Lacey, was...

Others would soon find out.

Once Beatrice was settled, Lacey sent Odin a text message using her phone.

Then, deliberately slowing down Lucia's phone time, Lacey woke her up and quickly disappeared into the

room behind the secret door, intentionally making some noise.

Lucia rubbed her head, she only remembered that she seemed to have been tripped by something, and then fell to the ground unconscious.

She looked at the chair leg beside her feet and clicked her tongue.

After getting up, she heard some noise coming from the next room, and a calculating smile appeared on her lips.

Now, everything has been settled, and no one can change it.

She looked at the time again, just in time.

Thinking, Lucia ran out of the room, holding her skirt.

After the silence, Lacey opened the secret door, snorted coldly, and left.

Lucia touched up her makeup before returning to the hall, and just a few steps in, she saw Bella and

Angie seemingly searching for something.

She immediately stepped forward, and Angie immediately showed a displeased expression.

"Ms. Guerrero, didn't you say you would come and find Bella in a while? She has been waiting for you for a long time."

Lucia sneered, coldly laughing in her heart. What's the big deal about making them wait for an extra twenty

minutes?

Is it necessary to say it so seriously?

But she didn't show it on her face, she smiled and explained, "Bella, I'm sorry, my dress was just dirtied by Beatrice, so I went to change it."

As soon as the words fell, Bella grabbed her hand and exclaimed urgently, "Where is Beatrice?" Lucia glanced at Angie and feigned surprise, "Didn't Beatrice come early? Didn't you see her?" Bella looked towards the hall, where everyone was wearing masks, faces flashing before her eyes, yet she felt inexplicably restless.

Angie supported her and casually said, "Mr. Caden disappeared after drinking on stage, Bella has been looking for him for a long time."

"What

right?"

"Lucia, stop talking nonsense!" Angie interrupted Lucia's words, but her peripheral vision was fixed on Bella's increasingly pale face.

She knew Bella would not be able to sit still.

The so-called singles party was also organized by Angie, convinced by Lucia, for the purpose of blacklisting. Beatrice within the city's high society circle today.

Even Monica, the shameless woman, would be implicated.

Ryan will understand later how embarrassing it was to take Monica out.noveldrama

Lucia pursed her lips and took hold of Bella's arm. "Bella, since there's no one in the hall, why don't we go somewhere else and see if Mr. Caden is there?"

Bella suddenly thought of something and let go of Lucia, rushing out of the hall towards the elevator. Lucia and Angie exchanged a glance and then followed suit.

During the period, Lucia deliberately shouted loudly.

"Bella! Don't be nervous! Mr. Caden, being such an important person, couldn't possibly not show up!" As

soon as the sound came out, several people around immediately heard it and caught the scent of gossip. "Mr. Caden disappeared?"

"Since he stepped down just now, he hasn't been with Ms. Soder. There shouldn't be any issues between them, right?"

"Come on, let's go and have a look."

All of a sudden, seven or eight people followed.

Although there were not many people, it was enough.

I'm afraid the news

will spread throughout the circle before the singles

party ended.
