Chapter 146 She Had Always Been Seducing Caden
Menu
Beatrice never expected Jessie to suddenly pounce on her, causing her to lose her balance and fall to the ground.
The hand instinctively reached towards the ground, with the palm pressing directly on the shattered pieces of the teacup that Xander had broken.
The pain spread throughout her body in an instant, leaving her powerless to resist, and she could only be pulled by Jessic.
After Monica realized, she hurriedly went to pull Jessie.
"You let go of my daughter!"
But Jessie now had her mind full of excuses for Oscar, and she had an astonishing amount of strength!
She tightly pulled on Beatrice's scarf and exclaimed, "Dad, look! I have evidence! I will prove that she has been seducing Caden all along!"
The suddenly tightened scarf made Beatrice unable to breathe, just when she felt her neck was being strangled.
Ryan finally pulled the crazed Jessie away.
At the same time, the scarf was also pulled by her.
Monica quickly protected Beatrice and worriedly asked, "Beatrice, are you okay?"
Beatrice was about to answer, but as soon as she tried, her throat hurt so much that she coughed
"Cough, cough, cough... No, no problem."
Monica angrily looked at Jessie and said, "Mrs. Jessie Baldwin, have you gone crazy?"
"Hehe, talk about me when you have time, or let your daughter think about how to explain to Sir Baldwin! Since I had already distanced myself from Caden a long time ago, why would I have anything from him in my hands!" Jessie lifted Beatrice's scarf high.
Seeing this, Beatrice's heart tightened and she reached out to grab the scarf, saying, "No! Give it back to me!"
But because she had just almost suffocated, her head was still a little dizzy, and she had no strength to fight for it at all.
Jessie
Jessie snorted coldly, "Isn't it? Then what are you afraid of?"
During the argument, even Xander's face turned angry.
At this moment, a figure strolled calmly and unhurriedly.
The coat draped over the man's arm, as his cold, star-like eyes lightly scanned the people in the hall.
The shifting gaze remained calm as water upon seeing the strangulation marks on Beatrice's neck.
He crossed over the crowd and slowly sat on the chair next to Xander. He lightly tapped on the table, and the servant promptly handed him the hot tea.

He took a sip of tea and asked in a low voice, "What's going on? Why is there such a commotion? Xander tidied up his disheveled sleeves and calmly said, "Your sister-in-law is talking nonsense again, claiming that you have been in contact with Beatrice privately? Caden casually set down his teacup, "My sister-in-law is thoughtful. Besides caring about my work, she even cares about my personal life. With such concern, it would be nice to also show some care for the Powell family." Feeling the irony, Jessie trembled and tightly pursed her lips, forcefully handing the scarf to Xander.
"Dad, this scarf is the evidence! This scarf was knitted by Mom before she passed away, and the name on it was embroidered stitch by stitch by Mom! It's one of a kind!" Beatrice was not familiar with Caden's mother, regardless of past or present lives, and no one in the Baldwin family mentioned her. She only knew that Caden's mother struggled to give birth to him when she was close to fifty years old. Later, she suffered from physical injuries due to childbirth and spent several years in bed before she passed away.
Caden didn't mention his mother much, but he cared a lot about the things she left behind.
So when Beatrice heard the four unique words, she was momentarily stunned.
She did not know these things.
Just mentioning it, she always felt like she had seen this scarf somewhere in her past life, but she could never remember.
She glanced up at Caden, their gazes met, and those deep, pitch-black eyes seemed to be soaked in ink, making it impossible to see the bottom when they stared at each other.
But at the thought of his exploitation of her, Beatrice instinctively tightened her bleeding hand and quickly averted her gaze.
However, the man did not withdraw his gaze, the intangible sense of oppression, domineering and dangerous, seemed to be ready to devour her at any time and anywhere.
At this moment, Jessie had already searched through the front of the scarf, but she couldn't find the embroidered word "Caden" in gold thread.
"It's impossible! It must be on the other side!"
Inside and out, Jessie searched through the small piece of cloth three times, but she couldn't find the evidence she was looking for.
Xander gradually lost his patience, "Did
you find it?"
Jessie's eyes were filled with fury as she repeated incessantly, "I will definitely find it! I will definitely find it!"
"Sister-in-law, is this what you were looking for?"
Caden pulled out a scarf from under his coat, embroidered with the word "Caden" on it.
"How could this happen? It shouldn't be like this!" Jessie looked at Caden in disbelief. Caden casually draped the scarf over the armrest of the chair and said lightly,"Everyone knows how important this scarf is to me, how could I just give it away?" Beatrice wondered if it was just her imagination, but she always felt like someone was watching

her. However, when she glanced up slightly, there was nothing in front of her. Jessie was caught off guard and got slapped in the face. She turned her head and glared fiercely at
Beatrice.
"Beatrice, what were you so anxious about just now if you had nothing to hide?"
Beatrice snapped back to reality and stepped forward to explain, "Mrs. Jessie Baldwin, aren't you worried that someone has casually snatched your belongings? Moreover, how can my fifty-dollar scarf compare to Uncle Caden's scarf? It's right there, easily within reach. Why can't you find it, Mrs. Jessic Baldwin? Or is it intentional?"
Beatrice came out of the tea shop and remained restless.
When she saw the scarf on the glass, she worried that Xander would recognize it.
So she randomly found a clothing store and bought a scarf of similar color to put on, in order to cover the bite marks on her neck.
Then the packaged scarf was

I didn't expect However, it was not yet a time for Beatrice to be grateful, as she still had deep bite marks on her
neck.
Although she has her hair to cover it now, but if she moves a little, she will definitely be noticed by others.
She had to snatch the scarf back and wrap it around herself.

The usually calm and indifferent Jessie was so angered by Beatrice's words that she covered her chest and gasped heavily.
"Mom!" Oscar didn't even kneel down, quickly stepping forward to support Jessie, angrily reprimanding Beatrice, "My mom is not feeling well! Is this how you speak to her as a junior? Beatrice took a deep breath and retorted, "Mr. Oscar, wasn't it Mrs. Jessie Baldwin who hurt me first?"noveldrama
"You..."
Oscar frowned, his eyes turning a few degrees colder.
Suddenly, there came a not-so-light, not-so-heavy sound from above.
Caden put down the teacup, lifted his eyelids lightly, and looked at Oscar coldly. His trace of submission. condescending posture made people unable to help but feel a
"So, you actually know how to respect your elders, huh? You've been here for half a day and I haven't seen you apologize to me, Uncle Caden, and your grandfather. Do you plan on just letting it slide like that?"
His tone was not high, but the voice that was not deliberately emphasized contained an undeniable power of intimidation.
Oscar looked at him, his shoulders visibly shrunk, and he instinctively glanced at Xander. He hoped that Xander would spare him this time, considering that he was his eldest grandson. But Xander remained unmoved and continued to drink tea.

Oscar clenched his fist, his neck and face turning red, and he knelt on the ground stiffly. "Grandpa... Uncle Caden, I'm sorry."
He gritted his teeth before shouting out the words "Uncle Caden".
Hatred stabbed into his heart like thorns, his sinister eyes scanning the surroundings as if searching for an outlet to vent.
I happened to catch a glimpse of Beatrice's little gesture.
A trace of fierceness flashed in his eyes.
Beatrice, I was so good to you, and yet you humiliated me like this!
You should have accompanied me...
