"What...what did you call me?" Oscar looked at Beatrice in surprise.

Beatrice repeated, "Mr. Oscar." "Beatrice, don't be like this. Just now, I was just..." "I just saw the scarf around my neck, so you wanted to use this to suppress Uncle Caden, right?" Beatrice interrupted, "Please don't say you likeanymore, okay? I can't handle it." After saying that, she turned around and was about to leave. Oscar's eyes turned extremely dark, as he reached out and tightly grasped her wrist, preventing her from leaving.

"Beatrice, don't speak tolike this. You know very well how I felt about you." Beatrice struggled for a while, but he only tightened his grip more. There were guests coming in and out around them, and any argument would only invite criticism. After all, Devin was Oscar's real uncle and he openly admitted to having impure thoughts about her.

"You had no ability yourself, yet you wanted to humiliate him in this way! You don't like me, you only like Beatrice who has sutility value. But I am not your trophy!" After speaking, Beatrice forcefully pulled off the scarf around her neck!

She walked out of the hotel and happened to see Caden's car across the street. He leaned against the car body, with a crimson dot on his flawless white fingertips. His suit was unbuttoned, and he casually slipped his hand into his pocket, exuding an air of elegance and danger.

Exhaling smoke rings, the appearance becsomewhat distorted amidst the swirling smoke.

Until, Madelynn approached him as if nothing had happened.

She glanced at Beatrice out of the corner of her eye, proudly linking arms with him. He did not refuse, and they both got into the car together.

Caden's fingertips flickered with firelight, accompanied by the sound of slow footsteps. His figure gradually becclear, but he had not completely emerged from the darkness.

He stood on the edge of light and darkness, with the falling shadows casting a backdrop against his profound and striking silhouette. His beauty was breathtaking, with a slight lift of his gaze revealing deep and mysterious eyes, like a dormant beast, always ready to pounce on its prey.

No matter how tough Beatrice was, she still subconsciously swallowed her saliva under his gaze.

Caden raised his hand and looked at his watch. "There are a few minutes left until comes back from work. Are sure about discussing you know?" Beatrice exclaimed in astonishment.

"How did you "You can know if you want to know," Caden said lightly.

She lived next door to a high-level female white-collar worker, who would almost every day work overtuntil this tand then cback.

The two of them didn't have much interaction, occasionally they would meet in the morning and exchange greetings.

The only thing that Beatrice couldn't adapt to was.... female office workers were really gossipy. I was particularly fond of inquiring about other people's affairs.

Last time, Beatrice got bitten by an autumn mosquito on her neck. After being seen by her female colleague, she kept hinting at who her boyfriend was. Even in the homeowners' group, they were asking.

If the female white-collar worker sees Caden here, she will becfamous in the homeowners' group tomorrow. The number on the elevator next to her was still going up, and Beatrice had a feeling that her neighbor was definitely coming up.

The female neighbor knocked on the doox again, saying, "Ms. Lindsey, I heard snoise, and I brought you sraviolis too." With the sound of the female neighbor, Caden's hot breath hit Beatrice's nape, causing her to get goosebumps. She wanted to avoid it, but the next second, Caden's slender fingers climbed onto her neck. He whispered in her ear, "Where is the scarf?" "I dropped it in the banquet hall, either it was thrown away as garbage or picked up by someone, I don't know," Beatrice said nonchalantly.
