When Love Turns to Ashes (Beatrice and Caden)

Chapter 262 Trap

When Beatrice hurriedly arrived at the hospital, she happened to see a group of reporters surrounding two people coming out Caden and Bella.

Bella held a bouquet of roses in her arms, which made her face blush slightly.

The reporter asked, "Why was Ms. Soder hospitalized?

Caden reached out to protect her and said lightly, "There's nothing wrong, just taking care of my body."

When it comes to taking care of one's body, people naturally think of the wedding that would take place in over a month, instantly understanding the meaning behind this statement. "It seems that Mr. Caden

Caden did not answer, as if he had accepted the journalist's words.

When Bella noticed everyone staring at her stomach, her face became even redder.

After getting on the car, Bella had to bury her face into Caden's chest because the flashlights were uncomfortable.

She apologized, "Sorry, I just gave people the wrong impression."

Beatrice pushed open the door and found Monica hiding completely under the blanket.

As she approached, she found Monica trembling.

over.

Apart from some suspicious red marks, the deepest one was a clear slap.

The flesh, deep to the fingerprints, was filled with blood spots.

It can be seen how much force the person who hit used.

Beatrice exclaimed in panic, 'Mom, what is going on?"

"I didn't know what to do, being like this now."

Monica cried as she lifted her clothes, and there was not a single spot of good skin on her body, all covered with ambiguous marks. Beatrice took a deep breath and several images flashed through her mind, causing her body to But soon she forced herself to calm down.

She couldn't be reckless, otherwise Monica would definitely be more scared.

Beatrice gritted her teeth silently and quickly helped Monica fix her clothes.

She comforted softly, "Mom, calm down first and tell me what happened?"

Monica tightly held Beatrice's hand and bit her lip as she reminisced, "I received an invitation from the ladies to play mahjong. Even though I

Not going would be losing face, and in the future, I wouldn't be able to say anything when there's something going on.

Anyway, it's just playing mahjong politely, chatting about gossip, and losing some insignificant money.

Monica had been there before, and she was familiar with all the players. There was no reason for anything to go wrong this time.

"Mom, what happened next?"

Monica's face turned pale, and she struggled to speak, "During the middle of the mahjong game, Ms. Lezon arrived and took over for Mrs. Zavala. I had a cup of tea, and then I don't remember anything else." When I woke up, I was covered in bruises and lying in a hotel room with a man!

"I fainted in fear, and when I woke up, I was in the hospital."

After speaking, Monica gritted her teeth and started crying.

Beatrice immediately grasped the key point.

"Ms. Lezon? Angie?"

"Yes, she knew Mrs. Zavala, although the incident with the engagement gift box was unpleasant, but she was after all Bella's Angie and also the president of the Lezon Group, so I didn't say anything." When Angie was mentioned, Beatrice's face darkened.

I remembered the relationship between Angie and Ryan.

She simply did not believe that Angie's appearance was just a coincidence.

But she had no evidence and she didn't dare to tell Monica.

She frowned and continued to ask, "Mom, did you contact those ladies who play cards to inquire about the situation?"

Monica's face turned even uglier: "I contacted them, but they insisted that I left on my own. Beatrice, how am I supposed to explain this to Ryan?"

A living person suddenly left, how could these people not even ask a single question?

Obviously, this game was also a trap.

Beatrice became even more certain that this matter was definitely related to Angie.

At that moment, Monica received a text message on her phone.

Monica took a glance and got SO scared that she threw her phone away and covered her head in panic.

"It was him!"

"Who?"

Beatrice picked up her phone and discovered that an unknown number had sent numerous indecent photos of Monica and a man.

The man was clearly a spendthrift toy boy.

But the angle of shooting Monica was particularly tricky.

Although Monica's appearance could be seen clearly, it was not possible to determine whether she was sober.

"Well, he threatened me! If I didn't give him the money, he would release the photos and videos. I absolutely cannot let these things be leaked."

"Mom, didn't you realize that his request for money didn't mention any threats at all? He is just manipulating you into giving him money, turning your relationship into a transaction where both parties are willing. Even if you report to the police, that man can simply claim that

What was being threatened?

The man neither said what would happen if Monica didn't give money, nor did he say he would spread the photos.

On the contrary, after Monica left the hotel, she directly gave him a large sum of money because she was afraid.

Now Monica also realized.

She was set up by someone!

Jumping into the Yellow River now wouldn't wash it clean!

"Wuwuwu, what should I do? I'm sorry, Ryan!"

Monica's tears slid down, making the handprints under the light more prominent.

Beatrice was about to sigh when she suddenly stared intently at Monica's face..
