When Love Turns to Ashes (Beatrice and Caden)

Chapter 10 He Only Cares About Madel...

Chapter 10 He Only Cares About Madelynn

Venu

While Beatrice was so nervous, Caden turned his face and glanced at the young couple behind the tree.

"Anything?"

His cold voice was filled with impatience.

As soon as the young couple saw it was Caden, they quickly bowed respectfully and said, "Sorry, Mr. Caden, we will leave immediately."

Then, they hurriedly left.

Hearing them leaving, Beatrice slightly breathed a sigh of relief.

She tried to push Caden away, but her wrist was grabbed.

Caden said, "Go pack your things. I'll let Keith wait for you in the parking lot. He'll take you to the apartment later."

He was issuing his command, not discussing it with her.

Beatrice froze for a moment, and her long eyelashes trembled a few times as she tried her best to restrain her inner emotions.

She felt like in his eyes, she was not a person.

Instead, she was just his obedient doll, which he could play with and ditch at will.

She gritted her teeth and struggled to break free from his restraint.

"No need for that. If you're worried, a month later, we can go to the hospital together for a check-up."

Hearing Beatrice's words, Caden narrowed his eyes, and a touch of coldness appeared in his eyes. He didn't expect Beatrice to dare to resist. Just as they had reached a deadlock, Caden's phone rang.

It was a call from Madelynn.

Beatrice took the chance and stepped back, saying calmly, "Uncle Caden, you can go ahead with your business. I'm leaving."

With that, she turned around and left without

any hesitation.

Behind, Caden's dark eyes were still fixed on her.

After the phone rang several times, Caden finally answered it.

"What's wrong?" he asked.

"Mr. Caden, there are SO many reporters. I'm SO scared," Madelynn

Madelynn sobbed.

"I'll be there soon."

Hanging up, Caden left.

Beatrice turned around, still not having gone far, and caught sight of Caden's receding figure. She knew the only person who could make him SO worried was Madelynn. Beatrice sneered and left.

On the other hand...

Madelynn clenched her phone and watched the young couple in front of her chatting. "I didn't expect Mr. Caden to be so impatient like that. He actually wanted to do that in the small grove. But who was that woman? Mr. Caden seemed to be so protective of her," the boy remarked. "Who else could it be? It must be Madelynn," the girl said.

Madelynn stood behind them and immediately guessed who the person with Caden was.

It was Beatrice.

Overnight, Beatrice's temperament changed drastically, and Caden also changed. Madelynn clenched her fist and turned around, heading towards the parking lot.

In the dormitory...

As graduation approached, the whole building seemed a bit empty.

Beatrice took advantage of the absence of others, opened her cabinet, and took out her sketches from inside.

In her previous life, all her design drafts were secretly given to Madelynn by Caden.

Madelynn's reputation skyrocketed because of that, and she quickly became a famous jewelry designer.

It was not until eight years later after Madelynn returned from abroad that she personally told Beatrice the truth.

At that time, Madelynn sneered in front of her, "Back then, Mr. Caden loved me so much, so he gave me your design drafts to make up for me. He said it was what you owed me. Serves you right! You've been with him for eight years and have a child with him, but he still despises you. How cheap you are!"

After Beatrice heard what Madelynn said, she felt exhausted both physically and mentally and fainted.

When she woke up, she found that Caden once again gave her eight years of hard work to Madelynn just to make her happy.

These two people shattered Beatrice's dreams twice.

This time, she swore that she wouldn't let anyone ruin her dream.

Suddenly, Selina's voice sounded from behind. "Beatrice, what are you doing?" "Nothing. I'll soon graduate, SO I'm thinking about tidying up my cabinet." Beatrice casually replied to Selina while locking her design drafts back into the cabinet. As she turned around, she noticed Selina staring intently at her cabinet silently. Beatrice pretended not to notice that and asked, "What's up?"

Selina regained her composure and said, "I want to invite you to a meal and apologize to you for what happened today."

Upon hearing this, Beatrice lowered her gaze and noticed the doll keychain peeking out of her

pocket. She immediately nodded and said, "We're good friends. No need to be so formal. How about we go together to the third-floor cafeteria and have some cakes there? We used to go there

often in the past."

Hearing Beatrice's words, Selina happily reached out and pulled Beatrice up, smiling in agreement.

But there was a hint of sarcasm in the depths of her eyes.

She was probably mocking Beatrice in her heart, thinking that it was so easy to fool her around.

On the way to the cafeteria...

Beatrice received a phone call from Monica.

She avoided Selina and then answered the phone.

Mom."

"Beatrice, I've got some good news. Ryan has a client whose son just returned from abroad. He is handsome, talented, and comes from a good family. Tomorrow, you will have a meal with him to get to know each other," exclaimed Monica excitedly. "Mom, I haven't graduated yet. I don't want to get married so soon."

"Beatrice, I've looked at his photos. He really looks nice. His family is Ryan's working partner, so we kind of know each other well. If you marry into their family, I'll be rest assured then. You know, the scandal online still has some influences, and I can't stop feeling worried every day."

Monica's voice was filled with worry.

Beatrice also understood her meaning, knowing that she had no choice but to go on this blind date this time.

"I got it," she sighed.

"See you tomorrow then."

After hanging up the phone, Beatrice turned around and saw Selina quickly sending a message with a somewhat strange expression on her face.

"Selina, you're busy?" Beatrice asked.

Selina immediately put away her phone and explained, "Unlike you, I'm not going to participate in the competition. I can only send out my resumes to some HRS and see if I can find an internship." ""Alright. Let's go."

Beatrice didn't ask much and kept walking forward.

Seeing this, Selina quickly approached her, held her arm, and asked tentatively, "The competition is coming. Do you have any ideas for the design?"

Beatrice smiled at her and said, "Don't worry. I have already planned everything out long ago. I'll definitely win the competition."

"Really?" Selina pinched her fingers, lost in thought.

"What's wrong? Is there any problem?" Beatrice looked at Selina.

1. fo. It's just that I think you're really amazing. Unlike me, who worked hard for four years and Still got

no improvement in design." Selina lowered her eyes, looking pitiful.

If it were in her previous life, Beatrice would comfort Selina. But now, she didn't want to waste her breath on Selina.

So, she just said, "Then you should work harder in the future."

Selina's expression stiffened, and she bit her lip, not saying a word.

After eating something at the cafeteria, Beatrice looked at Selina.

"I have something to do tomorrow. You don't have to wait for me for dinner."

Selina smiled, "OK."

The next morning...

Beatrice's roommates had gone out for interviews early in the morning, leaving her alone in the dorm sleeping.

Suddenly, the sound of knocking on the door woke her up, and she rubbed her eyes and got up.

Opening the door, she saw Monica standing outside with a bag.

Looking at Beatrice, Monica frowned."Still sleeping? What time is it? Get up and get

dressed!"

Beatrice combed her messy hair with her fingers and didn't feel like moving at all.

Yesterday, she stayed up almost all night. And now, she was still a bit exhausted.

Monica felt a bit frustrated and directly dragged Beatrice to the washroom. But when she saw the small washroom, there was a hint of disdain in her eyes.noveldrama

She sighed, "I told you earlier to find an apartment outside, but you insisted on staying in this cramped dormitory."

"Mom, do you know how expensive the apartments in Chicago are? Are you trying to make people say that I'm dating a rich man?" Beatrice spoke up as she leisurely washed up. Monica saw through her thoughts at a glance and said, "Are you trying to stall for time here?"

Beatrice shut up.

After Beatrice finished dressing up and grooming herself, Monica finally nodded with satisfaction. Then, the two of them went towards the school gate.

"Mrs. Baldwin, over here!"

A clear and cheerful male voice sounded.

Beatrice was not very used to high heels. Suddenly, she stepped into an empty space and was about to fall. But luckily, someone caught her.

"Are you OK?" the man asked Beatrice with concern.

"I'm..."
