Chapter 253 Being Kept By a Mysterious Man?
Beatrice returned to the yard and dozed off against the sofa for a while..
Close to lunchtime, Monica called her and asked her to go for a meal.
Hung up the phone.
Beatrice got up and straightened her clothes.

Then she applied the unused red lipstick onto her somewhat pale face in front of the mirror, adding a touch of charm.
Walking out of the yard, not far away,
she saw Ryan hurriedly walking towards the artificial mountain.
She was about to call out to him, but she noticed that there was another person following behind him.
Angie.
From the previous conversation between the two, Beatrice had a feeling that these two individuals seemed to know each other.
She approached the rockery quietly and happened to see Angie reaching out and grabbing Ryan’s arm.
She sarcastically said, “Back then, you broke up with me for a woman like this?”
Ryan furrowed his brows and glanced at her, still maintaining
“Angie, you misunderstood. I broke up with you first, and then I met Monica.”
I heard that Beatrice covered her mouth.
Ryan and Angie were actually together!
Beatrice looked at the two of them and suddenly had a strange illusion.
Ryan’s figure surprisingly resembled Angie’s mysterious ex–husband from her past life.
The Baldwin family had good genes.
Except for Caden, who stood out from the rest.
the composure he should have.
The Baldwin family had almost no ugly people.
Even though Ryan was in middle age, he still had

face that didn’t reveal his actual age, looking dignified and refined.
No wonder Angie still remembers it until now.
If Beatrice remembers correctly, in her previous life, when Angie and her mysterious husband got married, Ryan and Monica had alread passed away unexpectedly.
As soon as she thought about this matter, Beatrice’s heart tightened.
Because they both got into trouble, it also had something to do with her.
So in this lifetime, she would be so nervous about the two of them.
Just as I was thinking, I heard Angie’s cold snort from ahead.
“Men always liked to find excuses for their infidelity.”
“But seeing you SO relieved
because she was not valued in the Baldwin
family, made me happy.”
“If you hadn’t separated from me back then, after Bruce’s death, with your abilities, wouldn’t the Baldwin family be under your control? Why pretend to be ignorant and clueless here?”
Ryan immediately frowned. and warned, “Angie, I will overlook your nonsense because you are

guest.”
“Did I say something wrong? We were about to get married back then, but you suddenly broke up and turned to a woman who carries a gas can. This is clearly embarrassing for me! Do you know how others are mocking me behind my back?”
Ryan stopped and said solemnly, “Angie, the breakup was also your agreement. Monica doesn’t know about all this, after all, it’s been so many years. I hope you won’t mention it in front of her.”
“Ryan!”
Angie couldn’t help but raise her voice, but Ryan didn’t pause.
She looked at the man’s back, her face showing a complex and unwilling expression.
Beatrice felt uneasy and took a detour to catch up with Ryan.
“Ryan.”

“Beatrice, want to go for dinner? Together,” Ryan smiled gently.
Beatrice stopped him and got straight to the point, saying, “Ryan, I heard everything.”
Aeru
Ryan’s smile faded, and he quickly explained, “Angie and I really had nothing going on. We dated when we were young, but later realized it wasn’t working out, SO we broke up. It’s not that complicated, and your mom is definitely not the other woman.”
“I knew, there was something I wanted to ask Ryan.”
Beatrice looked at him trustingly.
Ryan breathed a sigh of relief and said, “What do you want to ask for?”
Beatrice pursed her lips and revealed the secret Monica had hidden in her heart to him.
“Ryan, Mom wasn’t unable to conceive after giving birth to me, but because…”
“What did you say? You said I… used to have a child?”
Ryan stared wide–eyed, with a crimson glow in his eyes and trembling lips.
“Ryan, Mom kept it from you because she didn’t want you to feel upset. I’m saying all this because I hope you can take care of my mom in the future.”
Beatrice supported him, tightly gripping his arm.
Ryan took a deep breath and then reconsidered, feeling that something was not right.
“Beatrice, why did you suddenly tell me all this?”
“You will know in a moment. Let’s go, let’s have a meal.”
Beatrice smiled and put her worries to rest.
Whatever happens in the future, Ryan, based on this matter, will definitely protect Monica thoroughly.

A very shocking headline.

Although the man was only seen from behind, it was not difficult to discern the intimacy between the two from their lingering and inseparable

to look at the man at the main table.
Although it was only a few steps away, there seemed to be a thousand ravines and valleys separating the two of them.
Beatrice bent her eyes and smiled.
Caden, Happy New Year! This was the gift I gave you.
The title was something she had put a lot of thought into.
It is difficult for this news not to go viral as long as the Baldwin family is mentioned.
Beatrice sneered and casually said, “It’s true.”
Suddenly, there were whispers in the hall.
“How shameless! How could she have the audacity to admit it?”
“When she came to the Baldwin family dressed in that flashy outfit, I knew her intentions. At such a young age, she didn’t focus on her

“What a disgrace! Who does she think she is, a member of the Baldwin family? She’s making us look bad too!”
Beatrice listened silently, even though she pretended to be calm, the oppressive atmosphere around her was about to overwhelm her.
“Who was it!”

She also wondered how he would choose in the current situation.
He threatened her to surrender, so she forced him to bring about an ending himself.
Silent for a few seconds, Caden’s jawline tightened, his cheekbones twitched, and his deep, mysterious eyes swept across her face as if about to
unleash a storm.
People are always contradictory, and Beatrice is no exception.
In that moment, she even thought he would stand up.

“Who is it? Haha… Who is it? What does it have to do with you? What does it have to do with all of you?”
When Xander was publicly embarrassed, he became so angry that his face turned pale.
Caden coldly stared at her and said, “Beatrice! Shut up!”
“Shut up! Are you afraid of what I might say? If you have the guts, then kick me out!”
Beatrice’s voice roared with trembling, even distortion.
Xander pointed at her, angrily saying, “You really think highly of yourself! Get her out of here! From now on, Beatrice and the Baldwin family have no connection! They are never allowed to enter here again!”
“Wait!”
Caden suddenly got up and walked over, finally stopping in front of Beatrice.
He grabbed Beatrice’s wrist.
