When Love Turns to Ashes

Chapter 163 She Was Just a Pawn! Brend lowered his head and played with the lighter in his hand, sighing slightly. "No wonder she doesn't listen. How would she know that her so-called evidence is nothing compared to the three generations of the Melendez family's establishment? Even if Sara is arrested today, it won't shake the Melendez family in the slightest. On the contrary, the retaliation against her has just begun. Not to mention that Sir Baldwin won't let her off the hook." Caden smoked his cigarette and didn't say anything.

Brend furrowed his brow and said, "You're not really going to let it go like this, are you? I know you want to use Timothy to handle the accidents at the mine, but those are people's lives. The collusion between officials and businessmen is truly..." He was a doctor, instinctively carrying a heart of compassion.

He felt an indescribable discomfort in his heart, with one side being his close friend and the other side being the loss of lives in a safety accident.

Xander's mine was very profitable, but the real power was not in Caden's hands.

But it was Xander who handed over the management to the two elders of the Baldwin family.

These two individuals only cared about their own interests, turning a blind eye to safety, purely to pass inspections.

And then it happened, five lives were trapped inside, and over a dozen people are still in the hospital.

The two elders had been concealing the truth all along, but when they could no longer hide it, they finally approached Xander. Xander's intention was to handle the situation as an accident, and never report it, otherwise he would be restricted in the future.

So Xander repeated his old tricks and set his sights on Madelynn, making her target the wealthy Sara from the Melendez family. Who knew about this incident.

The cigarette was finished, and Caden extinguished it into the trash can. He said coldly, "That's what I thought. Timothy said that if we let Sara go, she would help with the matters at the mine." Around the corner, Beatrice forcefully plucked off a few tree leaves, her face turning so pale that it almost blended with the wall.

She just cto find Brend to keep a record of her injuries, thinking that it might cin handy in the future. But I didn't expect to hear such words.

No wonder she was forced to withdraw the case just now, and Caden remained silent.

Actually, this was also the result he wanted.

He saved her, but it was only to help Sara.

She was just a chess piece! In his mind, interests were the most important.

away, the Beatrice turned and walked report of her injury no longer mattered, it was something 16:00 23.8% she couldn't overcome.

Menu Caden looked at the extinguished cigarette butt and exhaled his last puff of smoke, saying, "But do you know how much the Melendez family wanted?" Brend, who was still hesitating, breathed a sigh of relief and gave him a pat on the shoulder when he suddenly changed his mind.

"You... scared me! I thought you were really going to collude with them! How much did the Melendez family take?" "Twenty million, all those lives combined are not worth this much money, is it ridiculous? People are so worthless." Caden's eyes were deep and gloomy, his tone extremely cold, "The mine, I want it, the people, I also want to deal with them." Brenda's face suddenly turned serious, causing her previously playful expression to vanish.

"You were going to confront Sir Baldwin..." "He left." Caden turned around and walked away.

*** Ward.

Beatrice collapsed onto the bed as soon as she cback, wrapping herself tightly in the blanket.

After a moment, the door opened and she immediately closed her eyes.

The smell of tobacco slowly of tobacco slowly approached the and stopped man by by the bed.

She could feel the man's gaze fixed on her, but his eyes were so obscure and difficult to understand.

Like vines, it slowly entwined around her, pulling her closer...

When she cto her senses, her body had already pressed against the warm chest. She held her breath, even with her eyes closed, she knew the man's face was just inches away.

A slightly warm breath sprayed onto her face, causing a slight itchiness.

She subconsciously pursed her lips, and instantly, the person in front of her bectense all over, with their breath getting closer and closer.

Beatrice's heart pricked at the thought of her recent conversation with Brend, and she pretended to turn away from him.

A faint laughter from a man cfrom behind without leaving any trace.

eyes Beatrice gritted her teeth and kept her closed.

The man approached, wrapped his arms around Beatrice through the blanket, and buried his cheek in her neck.

The scorching breath made her clutch the blanket tightly.

"Go to sleep." 11 It was discovered.

16:00 23.8% But Beatrice dared not show it, so she had to continue pretending, (M) She really didn't know what to say when she opened her eyes, or how to face him. I fell asleep without realizing it.

When Monica woke up, she hurriedly walked in carrying breakfast.

"Retribution has come!" Beatrice didn't pay attention and opened the breakfast box. She stuffed a spoonful of white porridge into her mouth. She was starving. "Whose retribution?" After swallowing the porridge, the porridge, she found a moment to ask a/ question.

This question immediately made Monica's gossip-loving heart unable to stop.

She pointed to a video on her phone and said, "Someone posted a video this morning of Sara beating up a bar security guard. Her arrogant behavior was simply disrespectful towards the security guard, and it caused outrage among the public." After being doxxed, Timothy's evidence of guilt was exposed online in less than an hour. His decades-long political career was completely tarnished by his own actions, filled with scandals and corruption. He had amassed billions through bribery alone, had nine mistresses, and fathered ten children! Sara is nothing compared to him! "The Melendez family, spanning three generations, were all involved in illicit activities. Several members of the Melendez family were suspended and under investigation.* "Now, everything is fine. With the collapse of the tree, everyone scattered like monkeys. Even Sara's mother took out the divorce agreement that had been prepared years ago." "The funniest thing was Madelynn, this morning she was just deleting interactions with Sara, her hands were probably cramping from all the deleting." eyes.

Monica clapped and laughed heartily, looking at Beatrice with a gleam of satisfaction in her in her "Fortunately, you acted quickly yesterday, so now all these messy things have nothing to do with you." If the lawsuit had not been withdrawn, not only would Sara have had to argue with Beatrice, but also Beatrice's relationship with the Baldwin family would have been implicated.

By then, Xander would definitely blBeatrice again.

Upon hearing this, Beatrice was taken aback, and the spoon slipped from her hand. Emotions in the heart becinexplicably complicated.

"Mom, who leaked the evidence of the Melendez family?"

"I don't know, but I do admire this person. It's not easy to find such detailed evidence of the Melendez family's decades-long history. If it were us ordinary people, it would probably take several years or even decades to even begin to understand the ins and outs." Monica sighed. Beatrice was familiar with this statement. In the previous life, the Melendez family had fallen, as Madelynn and Selina had mentioned.

Madelynn had hoped to rely on Sara, her best friend, to have a worry-free life, but she almost got involved.

23.8% Someone with such great ability...

Beatrice thought of a figure.

Caden.

Menu But she quickly dismissed the idea, how could she let the Melendez family fall when Caden still wanted to use them to her advantage? An abandoned swimming pool.

A figure hung upside down and smashed into the water.

It was Sara.

However, she wasn't so lucky. The diving platform had already been dismantled last night, so she could only be thrown down from the roof. Higher and scarier.

"Ah!" "I was wrong! I really was wrong! Ah!" Sara's body was once again lifted high in the air.

Sara, who was directly frightened by the extrups and downs, wet her pants.

She pleaded loudly, "Mr. Caden, m please spare me! I will never dare again! It's all Madelynn she inducedto do this! I was also deceived! Ah!" Sara was thrown into the water without any warning. The man by the pool stood in the shadow, his fingertips moving up and down with flickering firelight, mysterious and dangerous.

He walked forward and coldly watched Sara struggling in the sewage.

"Then you remembered to seek revenge from her." This statement was returned exactly as it was.
