surrounded by fog and unable to see anything clearly.
Angie gazed at her with a smirk and said, "He also said that as long as he threatens your mother, you will definitely agree. So... Beatrice, accept your fate."
"You were just a powerless and beautiful woman in this circle, in other words, a commodity that could be exchanged.
"Don't you want your mom's little video to be known by everyone? By then, not only the Baldwin family won't tolerate her, but the entire Chicago won't tolerate her either." Beatrice looked up and saw Angie, who had an empty look in her eyes, a hint of sadness appearing in her eyes.
"So, what you're saying is, no matter what I do, you won't let me go, right?"
Angie just smiled faintly, as if she had agreed.
A few seconds later, she picked up the wine glass and said, "Beatrice, today I will give you another lesson, considering it as you threatening me... consequences." Wow-
Angie poured all the red wine onto her own face and immediately screamed.
When Beatrice came to her senses, an empty glass had already been placed in her hand.
Without waiting for her response, a furious reprimand came from behind.
"Beatrice! What were you doing!"noveldrama
Xander walked briskly, followed closely behind by none other than Caden and Bella.
Bella quickly took out a handkerchief and wiped the red wine off Angie's face.
"Angie, how did you end up being with Beatrice?"
Angie brushed off Beatrice and frowned, sighing, "This child heard that Mr. Ryan and I were acquainted, I don't know who influenced her, but she came to warn me on purpose. I only said a few words, and she... forget it, I won't bother with her." Bella hesitated for a moment and looked at Beatrice with uncertainty.
Beatrice stood frozen in place.
Angie had already discovered that she had eavesdropped on Ryan and her.
I said so much just now, just to lure her step by step into the trap.
Just as Beatrice hesitated for a few seconds, a whoosh sounded in her ears.
Xander slapped her directly in the face.
Although he was old, he exercised every day and had strong hands.
Beatrice was not even able to steady herself before she was knocked down onto the table, with her hands pressed against the chimney place. "Ah!"
Beatrice painfully pulled back her hand, but her palm was still burned red.
She gritted her teeth and said, "Sir Baldwin, I was just a customer at the restaurant. What gives you the right to hit me? Is this how you your guests?"
So you

Xander exclaimed loudly.
"Mr. Caden, Sir Baldwin, this is a blind spot in the surveillance. When we heard the sound and looked over, we only saw Ms. Lindsey about to put down her glass."
Although it was not explicitly stated, every word and implication hinted that Beatrice splashed Angie.
Angie brushed off the red wine stain on her clothes and sarcastically remarked, "Sir Baldwin, Mr. Caden, there's no need to go to such great lengths for me. After all, I have already experienced Mrs. Monica Baldwin's upbringing." "Angie, don't say that," Bella's face turned

It can be seen that Bella was worried that Angie would hold Beatrice accountable.

Beatrice looked at Bella, who was tightly embraced by Caden, and thought to herself, "What a good man who dotes on his wife." Love me, love my dog, Angie is also so biased. She couldn't help but snort coldly, just about to retort when Angie stood across from her, twirling the ring on her finger. It seemed like a warning, yet also like a threat.
"I think Ms. Lindsey did this for Mrs. Monica Baldwin's sake. Otherwise, let's call Mrs. Monica Baldwin over to explain, so as to avoid any misunderstandings in the future." Angie was well aware that Monica could not come and also was unable to come.
Beatrice focused her mind, her throat dry and aching, and finally spoke.
"Ms. Lezon, I'm sorry."
"Can I
go now?"
She turned around and left.
"Stop! Who said you could leave? Ms. Lezon is Bella's Angie, a VIP of the Baldwin family. She doesn't mind, but that doesn't mean the Baldwin family will tolerate you."
"You were sixteen when you and your mother entered the Baldwin family. The Baldwin family provided for your food, clothing, and expenses, yet you repeatedly caused trouble. And now you want to just walk away?" Xander sternly hushed her.
Beatrice turned her head and stared at him, saying, "It is true that I joined the Baldwin family at the age of sixteen, but from the age of sixteen,

"Mr. Caden, what qualifications do you have to control me? Huh?"
After saying that, she walked away without looking back.
The Baldwin's mansion.
Beatrice was an outsider, not even worthy of kneeling inside the ancestral hall.

She could only kneel on the cold stone slab outside the temple.
The melting snow water pierced into her bone crevices like ice, but she remained expressionless and stood with her back straight. Xander stood in front, looking down at Beatrice outside the door with a disdainful gaze. "Beatrice, according to the family rules, it was a total of ten lashes. Once you were done, you could leave from here. If you wanted to beg for mercy..."
Beatrice raised her gaze and coldly said, "Stop talking nonsense and fight. I can't stand being here for even
a second."
The butler immediately handed over the whip, and just as the bodyguard was about to take the whip, Xander's face showed a fierce expression and he raised his hand to stop.
"Now Caden is in charge, and it is up to him to take action at the right time."
As the words fell, everyone's gaze fell upon the man seated at the highest position.
Caden.
Caden's pitch-black pupils shimmered with coldness under the light, giving off a He approached Beatrice, looking down on her from above, with an expressionless face.
"Couldn't even stay for a second?"
"Yes."
Beatrice slowly closed her eyes, not even willing to look at him for a moment.
The two of them stood still in the snow for a moment.
Caden slowly raised his hand, and his blood-drained fingers moved slightly.
"Give me the whip."
