Chapter 68 Making Choices

Did Madelynn dare to give it?

Of course not.

She herself said that her phone was filled with photos of the day when Monica and Ryan were humiliated.

Unfortunately, now she has no control over whether to give or not.

Xander glanced at the bodyguard behind her, and the bodyguard reached out and snatched her phone. Then, he decrypted the screen and handed it over. Xander almost crushed the screen of his phone as he looked at the hundreds of photos in the gallery.

Madelynn, you

were doing very well, it seems my warning was not enough!"

"Sir, sir, I was not..."

Madelynn's body went weak, she was almost on her knees begging for mercy.

Xander didn't even look at her and threw the phone to Caden, coldly saying, "Figure it out yourself!" "Yes."

Caden faintly responded.

At this moment, Brend arrived and was so scared by Beatrice's appearance that he almost screamed.

"Beatrice! Can't you have a little self-awareness as a patient? I'm trying to give you an IV, and you're almost turning it into a blood donation!"

Everyone then realized that Beatrice's hand, which had been hooked up to an IV, had already stopped bleeding. The blood-red drip tube became

Beatrice's body went limp and she fell into Brend's arms, looking tr just now, could it be because of drinking yesterday?"

""How dare you say you

I've told you that you can't handle stress. Did someone provoke you again? This is outrageous! What are you up to?" Brend exclaimed loudly.

Brenda explained that, Beatrice could rest assured.

Xander snorted coldly upon hearing the words and turned around

Alicia, a clever person, glanced at Madelynn without much thought and then turned to look at Caden.

"Mr. Caden, I took a flight on a business trip and rushed here as soon as I heard that Madelynn had an accident. I am very tired now, so I am going back to rest."

The implication is that Madelynn took advantage of her kindness. Gaden nodded.

Alicia glanced at Beatrice and said, "Rest well, see you at the studio."

Madelynn couldn't even pretend anymore, glaring at Beatrice with a fierce

He was beaten up and then bitten back.

Beatrice smiled back.

An eye for an eye, are you happy?

"Uncle Caden, do I still need to apologize? If not, please take your people away, I want to rest." She lay down, covered herself with a blanket, and turned her back to everyone.

Madelynn followed Caden back to her own hospital room.

Before even speaking, tears had already begun to wash over the face.

"Mr. Caden, I don't know how I offended Beatrice, she actually wants to frame me like this." Caden glanced at her and turned around, leaning against the window as he lit a cigarette. Surrounded by smoke, he squinted his eyes and said, "Stop crying, it's quite ugly." Madelynn couldn't cry anymore instantly, tears were hanging on the corners of her crying nor not crying.

She walked up to him, weak and fragile, her wet eyes looking up at him."Mr. Caden, I'm sorry, shouldn't have made it difficult for you."

"Since you knew it was difficult to do, you should have known the consequences." Caden placed Madelynn's clean phone on the windowsill and then forcefully extinguished the cigarette butt, as if he wanted to crush the ashtray. Seeing this, Madelynn's neck tightened and "Mr. Caden... Mr. Caden..."

"Madelynn, what's wrong with you? Did you upset Mr. Caden again? Why did Mr. Caden withdraw funding for our latest project? Do you know how much effort I put into this project?" "I..." Madelynn held her breath, unable to believe how ruthless Caden had been. "I don't care what methods or means you use, you must ensure that Mr. Caden continues to invest! The Bradford family has nurtured you, not for you to sit idly by!" Father hung up the phone forcefully, leaving only a series of beeping sounds. Madelynn, full of hatred, raised her hand and threw her phone out, narrowly missing the person entering the door.

"What's going on? Why are you making such a fuss?"

Mrs. Bradford approached and embraced Madelynn, taking a startled look at her face, and

listened, and she forcefully slammed the table.

"Mom, Xander and Ms. Moreno both saw it, what should I do?" Madelynn pursed her lips.

Juliet got up and paced, her graceful figure, but with a calculating expression on her face. Suddenly, she stopped and raised an eyebrow with a smile.

"Now, Beatrice had no more cards in her hand, it was the perfect opportunity to strike."

But my phone was also wiped clean," Madelynn exclaimed angrily.

"What does it matter? Don't forget, our trump card is you. In terms of influence, how can she compare to you?" Juliet raised her chin and pitifully said, "Look at your face, it's been beaten badly." Madelynn instantly understood Juliet's meaning.

An hour later, news about Madelynn being beaten was dropped on various major platforms. In the captured footage, Madelynn came out of the ward with swollen cheeks and a look of grievance. Netizens dug deep and discovered that the person living in the ward was Beatrice.

There had been conflicts between the two of them during the competition, which inevitably led to various speculations.

Some even dug up the previous rumor about Beatrice and Caden spending a night together- Due to Madelynn's large number of fans on the internet, her fan condemned Beatrice.

But it cannot be denied that Beatrice hit her.

"Didn't you see that I wasn't doing well now? Don't make it difficult for Beatrice." She was so strong and understanding.

"Beatrice and Mr. Caden? That's nonsense. The person in the photo is me. People have been saying since college that we have similar hairstyles and dressing styles. Mr. Caden's kindness towards me is evident to everyone. How could he be with another woman?" Beatrice learned to ride the wave of popularity, but Mr. Caden only loved her.

"I'm really fine, I..."

But it was still downloaded by people, and even some netizens started analyzing Madelynn's videos.

When Madelynn approached the camera, her face appeared heavily powdered and there was a hint of redness.

She suddenly disappeared in the end, as if she accidentally bumped her face and it hurt too much. "Even though it had come to this, she still helped Beatrice conceal it. She is really too kind, isn't she?" "Beatrice and Mr. Caden's affair was causing a huge uproar at the time, but it eventually died down. It couldn't be true, could it?"

The popularity remained high.

Caden glanced at the chessboard, placed a black piece between his fingers without hesitation, and then stood up and left.
