Chapter 182 No Need

Upon hearing Zander's arrival,

Peatrice immediately pushed Caden mite

Caden's legs were not agile, and his body wobbled on the bed before subliding His eyes slightly darkened as he looked at Beatrice

"Go back first."

""Um."

Beatrice thought for a moment and then agreed.

This matter, indeed, cannot be explained clearly by her alone.

But as she was about to leave, the door was forcefully pushed open by someone. As Xander entered the room, he saw the injured Caden and his eyes filled with anger. As his eyes narrowed and swept over Beatrice, he waved his hand and delivered a resounding slap Is this how you repay the kindness of the Baldwin family's upbringing? What a disgrace!" Beatrice's body had not yet recovered when she suddenly slammed into the wall, causing stars to appear in her eyes and blood to seep from the corner of her mouth.

However, Xander was still not satisfied and swung again with his other hand. But in mid-air, Caden abruptly intercepted.

His injured foot, due to the sudden movement, the stitched wound burst open all at once, and the bandage instantly turned red..

Sir Baldwin saw this and a trace of fierceness appeared in his eyes: "Caden! What do you mean? She made you like this, and I can't even hit her?"

"No need."

Caden's gaze swept over Beatrice's swollen face, his expression darkened, sending shivers down one's spine. Even his grip on Xander's hand tightened slightly.

Xander ate in pain, looking at Caden in disbelief.

The father and son remained deadlocked like this.

Madelynn, who was following Xander into the room, suddenly rushed forward and hugged. Caden.

"Mr. Caden, don't move around, you had an injury on your leg."

angry, Mr.

She turned to Sir Baldwin, crying and sobbing, and choked out, "Sir Baldwin, don't be angry, Caden was saying there was no need to get angry for Beatrice!"

Upon hearing the words, Beatrice's face turned completely pale, making the red marks appear even more sinister.

She looked up at Caden, he just furrowed his brow, without explaining or denying

So that's what it meant.

She understood.

Xander snorted coldly and forcefully pulled his finger back, pointing at the door, "Go away! Don't let me see you!"

Madelynn pushed Beatrice forward and said, "Beatrice, don't take it to heart. Sir Baldwin also feels sorry for Mr. Caden. Hurry up and go get some medicine. You can't interfere here" Seemingly persuasive, but actually implying her identity. Madelynn acted like a hostess, while she was just an outsider who couldn't join the conversation

Beatrice lowered her gaze and left the ward directly.

As soon as she left, Brend arrived.

He saw Caden's wound split open and hurriedly went forward to support him, saying. "Are you crazy? Although it didn't injure the bone, the infection is so severe and you've lost too much blood. Are you trying to amputate yourself?" Xander and Madelynn were shocked and speechless.

Just now, I saw Caden quickly get up, and I thought he wasn't seriously injured. It turned out that everything was just pretending.

This remark... made Xander and Madelynn's faces even more unpleasant than before they entered, but both of them concealed it well.

Brend called for a nurse to help and rebandaged the wound.

Caden leaned against the head of the bed, his face still somewhat pale, but his expression eerily calm.

He took the cigarette box from the bedside table, shook it, and pulled out a cigarette to put it on his lips.

Brend had just wanted to remind him not to smoke, but upon meeting his eyes, he inexplicably shivered and took a step back.

As Caden lit his cigarette, his eyes narrowed slightly, and the flame ignited by the lighter flickered on his handsome face. The fire went out, and a puff of white smoke enveloped his gaze

"The others went out," he said calmly.

Brend and Keith left first.

"You too," Caden lifted his gaze, his eyes devoid of any warmth, staring coldly at Madein

Madelynn broke out in a cold sweat in an instant.

She was well aware that the three words from others were aimed at her, just as she had targeted Beatrice earlier.

She dared not argue and turned around to leave the room.

In the room, the smell of tobacco grew stronger and stronger, and Xander furrowed his brow "Calling someone out, is this to interrogate me?"

"No, just noticed that you seem to have something to say to me," Caden said, calmly putting on his cigarette.

Xander furrowed his brow

even deeper and focused his gaze

even

Cadea

He really wanted to see through his son's thoughts, but the more he looked, the more it secated like there was a layer of smoke separating them.

But since the words have been spoken to this extent, he had no need to hide or conceal anything

"Your fifth and sixth uncles didn't handle this matter well. They released the person first with an excuse, and told Beatrice to keep her mouth shut, so as to prevent any damage to the reputation of the Baldwin Group." Caden flicked the faint flame between his fingers and sneered, "Was it Beatrice who tarnished the reputation of the Baldwin Group, or someone else?

Sir Baldwin clicked his tongue and said, "What do you mean?

Caden didn't say anything and directly opened the conversation recorded by Beatrice on his phone.

The more Xander listened, the more his face turned pale.

Caden casually said, "They had no grudges against Beatrice, why did they keep sending people to watch her?"noveldrama

Listen, Xander felt a chill on his back.

He knew that Caden had a clear conscience.

"Enough!" Sir Baldwin stood with his hands on his hips. "If you are unwilling to release them, then so be it, but the exposure of the mining accident has already severely affected the Baldwin Group.

"Dad, rest assured, before you arrived, I had already arranged for the lawyer and public relations to negotiate compensation with the family members. The company's apology statement has also been issued, and I will take over the rectification of the mine. Currently, the public opinion is not so negative, and everyone is satisfied with how I handled it."

As the words fell, Caden stubbed out his cigarette and stared coldly at Xander.

Sir Baldwin, however, took a sharp breath and sneered, "Well, well, half a cup of poison, a cup of antidote, I had no idea you still had this ability."

To have the lawyers and public relations complete everything in such a short period of time.

It was obvious that there had been preparations made before coming to Burlington.

Seemingly at the expense of the Baldwin Group's interests, in reality, Caden obtained everything he wanted.

Including the minefield.

Caden said coldly, Dad, I was a businessman."

Sir Baldwin's face tightened as he said, "Well, what about Beatrice, who used deception even on her own family? Is she also a merchant at heart?"

"You're overthinking." Caden didn't give a direct answer and instead looked towards the door. "Keith, have someone escort Sir Baldwin back to the hotel for rest." Keith opened the door and

and respectfully approached, "Sir Baldwin, please."

Walked out of the door.

Xander lowered his head to observe the red mark on his wrist, just as he crossed paths with Madelynn.

Madelynn felt uncertain as he looked at her, and she smiled gently, saying, "Sir Baldwin, take

care."

Xander squinted his eyes and looked her up and down thoroughly.

"He has been by his side for over three years, and yet he turned out to be so useless." Madelynn choked, tears in her eyes, and said, "Sir Baldwin, I was serious about Mr. Caden." "Serious? Okay."

Xander glanced inexplicably at her adorable face.

Back to the ward.

was putting food when everyone Was

Monica was

"Who hit you? Who dares to hit you!

"Sir Baldwin," Beatrice replied truthfully.

stunned by her swollen face..

"Ah? He came?" Monica pursed her lips, feeling a bit timid and also a bit concerned. "Are you stupid? Standing there and letting him hit you?"

If it were someone else, they would definitely get angry upon hearing these words. But Beatrice knew that Monica was also helpless.

It was

a very irritating thing for the Baldwin family that she was with Ryan. Not to mention, they even brought along a third wheel.

When Monica was young and beautiful, people often advised her to give Beatrice up for adoption and find a better family.. Monica directly said that others had ill intentions.

So Beatrice had no right to blame Monica.

She took the towel handed by Monica and comforted, "This slap, surely had to be endured. Let's have some peaceful days instead." Monica hesitated to speak.

Beatrice knew she wanted to ask Caden why he didn't stop.

Maybe it was because... it wasn't necessary.
