Chapter 2 Monica remarried someone after giving birth to Beatrice. And Beatrice's stepfather was Caden's second elder brother, Ryan Baldwin. So, strictly, Caden was Beatrice's uncle, but she had never called him "Uncle Caden, for she wasn't qualified. In her previous life, Beatrice apologized in a panic in the face of these people's accusations, so everyone assumed that she was the one who drugged Caden. Later, Caden had to marry Beatrice because she was carrying his baby. He wasn't the only one hating Beatrice. Everyone in town despised her, thinking she was a schemer who would do anything to marry into a wealthy family. In this life, Beatrice wanted to change her tragic destiny! As she looked around and saw the Baldwins sitting upright and composed, she didn't feel as scared as she was in her previous life. Just as she was about to speak, the steady footsteps of a man sounded from behind. Everyone, except for Xander, showed respect. A tall figure walked past her. The butler took the coat from his arm and greeted, "Mr. Caden." Caden nodded and locked eyes with Xander, who sat in the main seat. Then, he slowly took his seat. He didn't look at Beatrice for once, as if Beatrice was of no importance to him. Beatrice, on the other hand, stared at him without blinking until he looked her way. In an instant, memories of her previous life came flooding back, and Beatrice instinctively trembled, biting her lips. She clasped her hands together, feeling as if she was holding Stella's hand. Beatrice could never forget Caden's face. The outline of his face was profound. His black eyes were deep and unfathomable. On the thumb of his left hand, there was a red jade ring, shining with the color of blood, looking cold and dangerous just like him. 11:30 0.1% < Chapter 2 He met Beatrice's gaze, and his hand, which was turning the ring, paused involuntarily. When a pair of fair and tender hands rested on his shoulders, he returned to his indifference. It was Madelynn. She had just cried, her eyes were red, and her delicate face was full of grievances. Everyone finally arrived! Xander picked up the coffee cup in front of him, casting a seemingly casual glance at Beatrice. There was a hint of coldness in his gaze, looking terrifying. "You and your mother have been living in here for so many years, and we've treated you well. If have done something wrong, you should admit it." you His words made Monica panic even more. She quickly stepped forward and grabbed Beatrice's arm, crying and pleading,"Apologize to Sir Baldwin now! Once you do, everything will be fine. Don't make the situation worse!" Everything would be fine? How naïve. Monica had no idea that Xander had no intention of letting Beatrice off the hook. He was just waiting for her to apologize so that she could be the scapegoat and bear all the accusations. Beatrice straightened her back, scanned the crowd, and finally looked at Caden. Their eyes met, his gaze icy and unmoved. It seemed that he knew what she would end up with. But this time, Beatrice wouldn't be a pushover anymore. Under his stare, Beatrice stood up, supporting her numb knees, and chuckled softly. "Why should I apologize?" "What did you say?" Xander turned pale with anger, spilling a considerable amount of coffee from his cup. Beatrice said word by word, "First of all, it wasn't me who drugged him, so why should I apologize? Secondly, the person in the photo is so blurry. Why did the paparazzi claim it to be me? Did anyone see me sleeping with Uncle Caden? Or did Uncle Caden see it was me because he was sober? If he had been sober, he wouldn't have slept with me. If he hadn't been sober, who can prove that it was me?" 11:30 < Chapter 2 She would never admit it! Unless Caden was willing to admit it, the woman in this photo could be anyone. But how could Caden admit it since he loved Madelynn so much? She knew what he was thinking. He was hoping the person from last night wasn't Beatrice! However, the truth was just the opposite. Caden's face darkened, and his fist clenched. Instead of answering Beatrice, he questioned her, "What did "Uncle Caden." you call me?" Beatrice looked at him coldly, suppressing all her emotions. From now on, she would try her best to get over him, making things right. < Chapter 3 Discover our latest featured short drama reel. Watch now and enjoy the story!
