Beatrice looked at Selina’s innocent smile and knew that Selina and Madelynn couldn’t sit still.
How could these two people possibly let her perform in front of Nyasia?
Instead of being caught off guard by hidden arrows, it is better to give them both a mobile phone and counter their moves.
On the way to the bathroom, Selina would occasionally sneak glances at Beatrice.
As soon as he opened his mouth, he carried a sense of speculation, “Beatrice, why didn’t you stop me when I was speaking just now?”
Beatrice had known that Selina would come to question her, and she had already prepared her
reasons.
She helplessly took Selina’s hand and said, “Selina, I thought you were just here to give gifts. I had no idea you would steal the limelight. You didn’t even tell me, how could I stop you?”
“I wasn’t trying to steal the limelight, I just genuinely thought that ring looked nice,” Selina hurriedly explained, afraid that Beatrice would become suspicious.
“I certainly believe you, I just don’t know if Nyasia will think you’re being clever.”
Beatrice sighed deliberately and continued walking forward.
Immediately, my back was pierced by Selina’s resentful gaze.
I hated her, couldn’t get rid of her, and it must have been unpleasant to be dependent on her, right?
But isn’t this the path Selina chose to climb up?
It was just that her stepping stone didn’t listen.
The two of them passed by a small garden, where many camellias were planted, blooming even more beautifully than those outside.
Selina stopped and grabbed Beatrice, pointing at the garden.“It seems that Nyasia really likes camellias. Taking care of so many flowers is a lot of work, and if anything goes wrong, she will definitely be furious.”
“Indeed.”
Beatrice looked at the garden and nodded.
Selina glanced at Beatrice lightly, a hint of calculation
flickering flickering in her eyes.
“Let’s go, ‘let’s be careful not to damage the flowers, after all, Nyasia has decided on our studio’s collaboration.”
“Um.”
The two of them entered the cubicle of the restroom together.
Then, a sneaky figure slipped out from inside.
***
On the other side.
Caden stood by the lake, with shimmering ripples falling on his face, handsome and profound.

He remained as cold and indifferent as ever, without the slightest hint of any extra expression But the restraint of the superior still made Nyasia’s mind sway.
Unfortunately, this man did not understand charm.
I thought he was deeply in love with Ms. Bradford.
I didn’t expect it…
Interesting.
“Mr. Caden, just now Ms. Bradford spoke up, why didn’t you intervene a little? Aren’t you afraid of embarrassing your fiancée? Or are you waiting for certain people to speak up?” “Today is for discussing business matters, not personal feelings,” Caden said calmly. “Heartless, indeed.”
Nyasia leaned against the armrest and handed a cigarette to Caden, while she held one herself and gestured for Caden to light it for her.
Couldn’t sleep with this man, it wouldn’t be bad to enjoy some privileges. Caden lit a cigarette for her before lighting one for himself.
Nyasia continued, “My family had a small connection with the Kaiser family overseas, which is why we have this collaboration. They rarely work with domestic companies, so they asked me to help select suitable individuals. You should know my intentions.”
She blew a puff of smoke at Caden.
Caden squinted his eyes. “I will arrange the contract as soon as possible. I will give you satisfactory share, but before that, you cannot disclose any information.” “Is that it? No other questions? Like who I would choose to design my jewelry,” Nyasia chuckled lightly.
“You weren’t stupid,” Caden flicked his cigarette, expressionless.

…
It’s really boring to talk to someone who is too clever.
Nyasia was about to discuss some contract details when she suddenly heard someone scream
“Fire! Fire! Help!”
Caden glanced at the pavilion and then ran out.
Nyasia stubbed out her cigarette with a couple of clicks, and sighed. It had been years since her‘ estate had been this lively.
***
The manor was situated by the mountains, and now it was autumn. The withered leaves from the mountains would occasionally blow in, so the fire prevention awareness was particularly high.
The fire was extinguished by the people of the manor shortly after it started. The most special little garden suffered a disaster, with its delicate flowers burnt beyond recognition.
Beatrice heard a sound and ran out of the bathroom, only to see Caden rushing towards her urgently from a short distance away.

When he was about to reach the restroom, a figure rushed into his arms “Mr. Caden, I was fine, it’s just that the fire started so suddenly, it was really terrifying.”
“Um.”
Caden lightly responded with a sound, and it was clearly visible that his brow relaxed.
Beatrice stopped a few steps away from the two of them, and as she looked up, she met Caden’s gaze. There was an inexplicable glimmer in his dark eyes.
She didn’t look much, she immediately averted her gaze and looked at the burnt garden.
Until Nyasia’s questioning voice sounded.
“What happened? Didn’t I remind you all to be careful and prevent fires during this dry season?”
“Nyasia, we checked every hour, this time it really wasn’t our fault, it was…” The servants looked
each other, hesitant.
“What is it? Explain it to me clearly!”
Nyasia stared at the servant with an intense gaze.
One of the servants opened his hand to reveal a lighter and explained, “This lighter was found near the flower bushes. We just checked and it was not there before. Clearly, someone set the fire!”
Nyasia took out a lighter, which was a valuable branded item. It was encrusted with a circle of broken diamonds, something that a servant could not afford.
Then there is only…
She turned around and looked at Beatrice and the others, asking, “Whose is it?”
Bailee immediately stated, “It wasn’t me, I don’t smoke, and I was in the gazebo the whole time. Nyasia and Mr. Caden can both vouch for me.”
Nyasia nodded, “I did see you, but I only saw you. Where did everyone else go
As the words fell, the coldness in her eyes landed on Beatrice and Madelynn.
Madelynn’s face turned pale as she said, “This… this is my lighter, which I had specially customized for Mr. Caden, but I always kept it in my bag. I have no idea how it ended up here!”
“Where did you just go?” Nyasia continued to ask.
“I just wanted to take a walk and find some design inspiration, but I heard that it was on fire here, so I ran over. I didn’t set the fire! I really…”
Madelynn choked back tears, and as she spoke, she clutched her chest and swayed as if she might collapse any second, as if her breath could be taken away in the next moment.
Caden supported her and frowned at Nyasia, saying, “Find out clearly.”
Beatrice, who was standing silently beside him, listened to his words, and the place where her heart had scabbed over began to bleed again.
Although I knew from the beginning that Caden would definitely protect Madelynn. But she always thought it was Caden who didn’t trust her, so she didn’t trust the evidence she provided.
Now she understood that no evidence could sway her bias towards Madelynn

Beatrice found it both sad and laughable.

She had explained it over and over again, but to him, it was just nonsense. Nyasia also had some dissatisfaction with Caden’s attitude and handed over the lighter, saying, “This is the evidence. She also admitted it. What else is there to say?” Just as the words fell, a servant suddenly shouted.
“Who? Who is there?”
