To Ashes `269

Chapter 269 Were You Kicked Out?

As soon as Keith finished speaking, Caden opened the door and walked out.

The three of them looked at each other in surprise.

Brend laughed, "You were kicked out?"

Caden frowned, "She was going to sleep."

Brend stifled a laugh, who would believe such a clumsy excuse?

Caden looked at him and said, "Keep an eye on her, don't let her mess around." Upon hearing the words, Brend knew that Caden had already found out about it.

But he definitely didn't know about Monica's situation.

Brend hesitated for a few seconds and asked, "What if others mess things up?"

Caden's eyes

turned cold suddenly, "The Baldwin Group and the Lezon Group were about to collaborate, and it must not go wrong" Brend froze, stopped speaking, and just nodded.

At this moment, Brend even felt grateful that Beatrice had escaped early.

So, he kept the things he did for Beatrice a secret.

***

The next day.

When Beatrice was sleeping, Monica's phone call came.

"Beatrice, I have already informed Ryan as you instructed. I told him that I will be staying at the mountain temple for a couple of days before returning. However... that man is still harassing me, constantly sending me those photos and demanding money. I'm really going crazy."

Monica's voice trembled, clearly indicating that she hadn't slept much that night.

"Mom, don't pay attention to him. Remember, it's not your fault. Leave the rest to me to handle.

Beatrice had also experienced these in her past life, so she knew exactly how much pressure her heart needed to bear.

She also knew that Monica couldn't listen to reason now.

What Monica needed the most was reliance.

"Beatrice, will Ryan... despise me?" Monica sobbed.

Beatrice wanted to say no, but in her mind, she recalled the image of Angie and Ryan getting married in their past lives.

True and false, her mind had long been in a state of confusion.

All she had to do now was to make sure Monica survived.

"Mom, everything was still unsettled, do you believe in me?"

"Um. Beatrice, be careful."

Monica's emotions gradually stabilized.

After hanging up the phone, Beatrice hadn't even put down her mobile phone when someone couldn't wait any longer.

"Beatrice, how did you consider my proposal from yesterday? My patience is limited."

It was Angie.

She couldn't wait any longer.

Beatrice had to find out the cause of Monica and Ryan's deaths in their past lives.

She lowered her head and quickly replied to the message.

"Don't bother my mom anymore, I promise you."

However, the members of the Seiner family have been living abroad for years and have no business dealings with Angie. Why would Angie introduce such a family to her if she looked down on her? Gillian Seiner looked up at the sound and glanced at Beatrice with a critical look, scrutinizing her from head to toe more than three times.

-It seemed as if he was examining a product.

A moment later, she clicked her tongue and said, "You look good, but you're too thin. My family's Jakob is from a four-generation single lineage. Can you give birth to a son?"

Upon hearing the words, Beatrice glanced at her husband, Jakob Seiner.

After Jakob nodded, Gillian immediately changed her attitude.

She pointed to the seat across and said, "Please have a seat."

Beatrice felt strange, but she still sat down.

Anyway, this is a public place and it is also within the surveillance range.

When she sat down, Jakob glanced at Gillian again.

The sudden change left Beatrice bewildered.

She politely took the menu and randomly ordered a dish.

Gillian frowned again, "Just eat this little? Then how will we have children in the future? Women should prioritize their families after getting married, what's the point of not having children?"

Beatrice listened to the terrible speech with disgust, almost wanting to snap back, but she hadn't yet figured out Angie's relationship with the Seiner family.

Gillian seemed like she had traveled back from ancient times, as she spoke with a strong sense of obedience and virtue. However, she had not finished her speech when she was interrupted by Jakob.

Jakob forcefully placed the cup in front of Gillian, who, like a conditioned reflex, closed her mouth and poured water from the teapot for him. Beatrice paused for a moment, but before she could gather her thoughts, Jakob suddenly turned his head and stared at her. "I was very satisfied with you, so let's pick a day you like and have the wedding."

Gillian smiled and said, "Yes, yes, as long as you are satisfied."

Turning her head, she looked at Beatrice again, picking and choosing: "We know your identity, so don't pretend to be innocent here. It's your good fortune to be chosen by our family, and I think the date is set for next week."

Beatrice was shocked. She got married without her consent.

Just as she was about to retort, her hand was suddenly grabbed by Jakob.

Jakob not only had a big build, but his strength was also surprisingly terrifying. When he held her hand, it felt like he was squeezing a toy. "Your bones felt thin when touched, but your legs were very beautiful."

Beatrice listened in horror and struggled desperately.

At that moment, a woman's voice came from behind.

"Beatrice? What are you doing here?"
