Chapter 243 Beat Up
Beatrice stood frozen in place, shocked to realize that she had been careful, yet still tricked.
Monica seemed to have noticed something and immediately stood in front of Beatrice.
"It wasn't Beatrice, she didn't know anything."
Xander squinted his eyes and said displeasedly, "So it's you after all, considering the money was deposited into your account."
Monica was speechless and could only shed tears.
Beatrice lifted her gaze to meet Xander's eyes.
The shrewd and dignified eyes cannot tolerate even a grain of sand, let alone hide the disgust in their depths.
Beatrice pursed her lips tightly, her gaze shifted, and she looked expressionlessly at Caden.
His eyes gleamed with coldness as he calmly picked up the teacup and drank tea.
"What should I say? Do I have to teach you?"
Upon hearing the words, Beatrice took a gentle breath, her lips trembling, and as she attempted to speak, the rising resentment choked her.
Like a rope, the more she wanted to escape, the tighter it became.
Caden was unwilling to let her go, and Xander was even more unwilling to let her go.
She stared coldly at the crowd and said, 'It wasn't me and my mom."
'Still dare to talk tough!"
Xander was very dissatisfied with her response, and he wished Beatrice would kneel down and beg for mercy like a dog.
And then, with her annoying mother in tow, they were kicked out of the Baldwin family.
As the words fell, Beatrice was harshly splashed with a cup of hot tea by Xander.
She didn't hide, instead she slowly approached, coldly laughing at Xander, and wiped away the tea stains from in front of him, bit by bit.
"Firstly, the design of the bracelet was specially customized. Apart from you, Uncle Caden and Ms. Soder were the only ones who knew about it in advance. My mom and I didn't find out until we received the delivery."
"If it were just a few, I could accept that I switched them, but with dozens of them, including manual labor, it would take several days to complete."
It seems that, apart from the three of you, it appears that no one else could do it. Xander was taken aback, seemingly not expecting Beatrice to retort.
But what does it matter?
Beatrice was still too naive. Was the current situation really about presenting evidence? Even if the police came,
Monica couldn't explain the three million all. What does Beatrice's three sentences count for, amidst the testimonies of everyone involved?
Ignoring her questioning, Sir Baldwin declared, "The evidence is conclusive. Someone, go to the yard and gather Monica's belongings, throw them out. The house cannot tolerate thievest As he spoke, he kept staring at Beatrice Seemed threatening seemed compelling
However, Beatrice did not do as he wished and did not come forward to take the blame for Monica.
No, it was not called "topping the crime".
It was a confession.
This was Xander's intention, either to kill two birds with one stone or to sacrifice Beatrice.
Whichever outcome it was, it was what he wanted to see.noveldrama
But as time passed by, Beatrice still remained silent.
This time even Monica stood her ground, although she was crying, she gritted her teeth and
refused to admit it.
At that moment, Angie clicked her tongue twice.
"I thought the Baldwin family had strict rules, but I never expected someone like this to appear. It's a disgrace to the family."
"Angie, enough!" Ryan exclaimed angrily.
"Mr. Ryan, are you feeling sorry? Then how about you compensate for this money?" Angie raised an eyebrow.
Ryan didn't fall for it and said firmly, "Monica wouldn't do such a thing. If she leaves, I will leave, with her. I will definitely investigate the matter thoroughly."
Angie's face tightened, seemingly displeased as she said, "Sir Baldwin, I demand an explanation for our Bella, not being portrayed as the villain."
"Angie, please stop talking. This matter indeed needs to be investigated," Bella interrupted hastily, with a frown on her face.
"No. I dared to bully you now, who knows what will happen in the future," Angie said sternly. She said it like this, if the Baldwin family doesn't show any response, it means they really bullied. Bella.
Xander glanced at the butler and said directly, "Go fetch the family rules and keep hitting them until they apologize."
"Why! What gives you the right to force a confession?" Beatrice exclaimed loudly. "No, but if your mother wants to be a part of the Baldwin family, she has to abide by the Baldwin family's rules. If she doesn't want to, then she can leave right now!" Sir Baldwin pointed towards.
the door.
Ryan stood directly in front of them and said, "If you want to fight, fight me. They are my and daughter."

"You bastard! Where is he? Drag him down for me!"
Xander shouted loudly in dissatisfaction.
Suddenly, more than ten bodyguards came in and dragged Ryan away directly

"Dad! Did
you have to drive him to death?" Ryan exclaimed angrily, his eyes burning with fury. "I was your father! This family is not up to you to be in charge! If you don't apologize today, people will think that those two women are in charge of this family! Give me a slap!" With a command from Xander, one of the strong bodyguards took the whip handed over by the butler.
Beatrice knew that she couldn't escape this disaster today.
Monica immediately pushed her away: "Beatrice, you go, I can handle it, but this guilt, we must never admit..."
Without waiting for her to finish, Beatrice pulled her away.
She looked at Sir Baldwin coldly and said, "My mother is not well. If you kill her, do you plan on going to jail with her? I can take care of it myself, and I don't think Sir Baldwin would object, right?"
Xander's greatest hatred was disobedience, but Beatrice repeatedly defied him, which he had long grown extremely disgusted with.
Today I will teach her a lesson, just to show her how stubborn she is
"Hit!"
"Wait a
moment," Caden slowly got up and said indifferently, I do it." Caden took off his coat and, as he walked, rolled up his sleeves. Amidst the astonished gazes of the crowd, he took the whip from the bodyguard's hand.
His figure elongated in the light, stopping in front of Beatrice like a ghost. Four pairs of eyes met, and time seemed to stand still.
Beatrice calmly raised her hand and brushed through her long hair, her heart turning to ashes she turned away.
As he turned around, the man behind him seemed momentarily empty, as if something had shattered, yet without a sound.
With a shout, he raised the whip and set off.
Beatrice closed her eyes, but the pain did not go away.
She opened her eyes and found that Odin, who had left with her friend, had returned. He stood in front of her and raised his hand to grab Caden's whip.
Odin glanced at Angie and said displeasedly, "Angie, when did the Soder family's matter require you to have the final say?"
"Odin, I was also doing it for Bella," Angie frowned.
"Angie, Bella is my younger sister. She was wronged, and I will definitely seek an explanation. However, I cannot condone resorting to violence to force a confession. If word gets out, people might think that Bella, who is not yet married, is setting rules for Mrs. Monica Baldwin. In that case, will you explain on her behalf, or will the Baldwin family explain for her?"
As Bella's older brother, Odin's words carried a lot of weight.
Angie pursed her lips and remained silent.
Even Xander had to make the bodyguard step back.

"Odin, we, the Baldwin family, would never mistreat Bella."
"Sir Baldwin, your words are enough, but today is my sister's engagement banquet, I cannot bear to see any bloodshed!" Odin solemnly said.
With the words spoken, Xander also understood Odin's meaning he wanted to save Beatrice.
This scene made his face look even worse.
But on the surface, Sir Baldwin's expression softened slightly: "Since you have spoken up, we naturally have to give you face. However, the Baldwin family will never tolerate fostering traitors, and this matter will definitely not be settled so easily!"
He glanced meaningfully at Beatrice and Monica.
Odin firmly held onto Beatrice and said, "Sir Baldwin, then I will take Beatrice and leave first." Beatrice was taken away by Odin like a walking dead.
It was not until she got on the car that she felt some warmth on her body. Odin did not get on the car immediately, but instead he avoided her and made a phone call. In the car, assistant Keyon turned around and handed a bottle of water to Beatrice. "Ms. Lindsey, your mother has been taken away by Mr. Ryan, and she is fine."
"Um."
Beatrice snapped back to reality and realized that her hands were trembling so much that she couldn't even open a bottle of mineral water.
Outside the car.
Odin lowered his voice and said,
