To Ashes `302

Chapter 302 Uncle Caden, Do You Want to Be With Me?

Lucia rushed forward, wanting to snatch Beatrice's phone, but she managed to dodge her. Menu

Lucia could only shout loudly to stop them: "Don't call the police! I... I also heard some rumors, but I'm not sure."

"I see. I told you Ms. Guerrero was probably misled," Beatrice put down her phone and shook it, "Ms. Guerrero is really lucky, I forgot to dial."

At that moment, Lucia finally realized that she had been deceived by Beatrice.

She was so angry that she almost chewed her inner lip, but she didn't say a word.

Beatrice gave Lucia a smile.

Through their recent interactions, she came to know that Lucia was not only spoiled but also a bit fond of showing off her cleverness.

She couldn't handle Angie, but that doesn't mean she couldn't handle Lucia.

After the matter was resolved, Beatrice raised the glass on the table and toasted to everyone, especially Bella and Caden.

"Sir Baldwin, you don't need to drink, you're already so drunk that you're talking nonsense. How can a father not care about his own son's reputation?"

She finished her drink with a smile, while the Baldwin family across from her had already turned red with anger.

Especially Xander, his face turned pale and then green.

The mockery from the person who was most despised was more painful than killing him.

At this moment, Odin stood up.

"Sir Baldwin, Mr. Caden, in fact, Mrs. Monica Baldwin was invited by me. I did indeed have intentions to marry Beatrice, so I thought it would be a good opportunity for all of us to sit down and have a meal together."

Beatrice was taken aback and looked up at Odin.

He, however, nodded with a smile and accepted everything.

She wanted to smile back, but her eyes welled up and turned red.

When he held his hand tightly, she held it even tighter, as if grasping a life-saving straw

while drowning.

Asher greeted everyone to take their seats again and also arranged a seat for Monica.

Monica, after all, spent so many years in the Baldwin family, and there was no fault to be found in terms of etiquette.

But no one really enjoyed this meal.

After the end, Odin was called over by Asher.

Beatrice knew that Asher wanted to talk to Odin privately, and no matter the outcome,

she would accept it.

Monica was deeply troubled and said, "Beatrice, I didn't lie to you. The person who called me on the

phone must have been someone from the Soder family."

Beatrice nodded, "I believe you."

But things were probably not that simple.

From the surprised expressions on the faces of the Soder family, it was evident that they had no idea that Monica was her mother before this.

So it definitely wasn't what they meant.

The only person left who could send the Soder family is only one.

Angie.

As she was thinking, Beatrice saw Angie in the hotel lobby, intimately chatting with Bella and the Baldwin family.

So even if they went to testify, it is likely that both the Baldwin family and the Soder family would let it go, considering Angie's upbringing of

Bella.

At that moment, the driver honked the horn.

Beatrice snapped out of it and reassured, "Mom, it's okay, you can go back now."

Monica worriedly said, "One day, Ryan and I will invite Mr. Soder to have a meal and explain this matter properly. I cannot let it affect your

"Um."

Beatrice nodded without any hesitation.

Seeing this, Monica grabbed her hand and felt particularly relieved. "Beatrice, you finally came out. Mom can finally rest assured."

"What are you saying? I can't understand anything," Beatrice chuckled.

"It's okay if you don't understand, let the past be in the past, I'm leaving now."

"Okay."

After watching Monica leave, Beatrice prepared to wait for Odin.

Beatrice pursed her lips and instinctively avoided Caden's gaze.

A moment later, his voice became hoarse and he said, "Don't be with him."

"So, Uncle Caden, did you want to be with me?"

She lifted her eyes and quietly looked at the man.

The man's face still showed no emotion as he simply pinched Beatrice's chin, seemingly with indulgence, and said, "Don't play around." Beatrice, however, was extremely serious and said, "I didn't play, I can prove it."

After speaking, she turned her wrist and directly held his hands tightly, blocking him from walking towards that sunny place. But just as she stepped into the sunlight, her body was pulled back by him. Beatrice turned around and chuckled at him.

"You see, it's not that I don't want to, it's that you don't want to, because if we cross over here, the people in the hall will see us, aren't you afraid of being seen by Bella?"

"No," Caden even lowered his voice a bit.

Beatrice still didn't struggle and said slowly, "You saw the situation just now. Lucia is not that smart, and it's even less likely for her to persuade someone from the Soder family to call my mom. You know better than anyone else who did it, it was Angie. Dealing with her shouldn't be difficult for you, can you do it?" 42.8%

"How many years have I been with the Baldwin family, what do they call me?"
