Chapter 329 Profit Above All
Odin put down the teacup and looked at Xander.

“Sir Baldwin, people online tend to jump to conclusions, but I believe you are not someone who takes things out of context.”
Suddenly being
being lectured by
a
younger
generation,
Xander felt
bit
embarrassed.
He slightly turned his head to look at Caden, hoping that Caden would come forward and say a few words for the Baldwin family.
Unexpectedly, Caden simply drank his tea calmly, pretending not to have seen it.
Xander’s face turned pale, and he fell silent.
On the side, Angie seemed as if she had been pricked by something, scratching herself all over.
Because of Beatrice, she not only lost her means of earning money, but also got bitten back by several influential ladies, which ruined three or four of her projects.
Her loss was not something Odin could just brush off and move on.
Angie held the teacup and pursed her lips disdainfully, saying, “Odin, there are videos and photos online as evidence. You should be more cautious and not let yourself
The elders of the Soder family frowned one after another upon hearing this.
Even Asher had a thoughtful look on his face.
be
manipulated.”
Odin said casually, “A couple of days ago, I saw a video online of Angie entering and leaving a hotel with another man. It seems like something good is about to happen.”
“That was all fake! How can we believe such videos?”
Angie was afraid of being misunderstood, so she hurriedly refuted.
Odin’s lips curled into a smile, but his eyes were sharp: “Angie, don’t be too hypocritical. Or do you have other evidence to prove that Beatrice forged the acceptance letter? As far as I know, there is not a single sentence in the emails exchanged between Beatrice and the two universities that indicates she believed she had been accepted.”
Beatrice has always been cautious, so she only asks professional questions in her emails, which actually helped her a lot.
Angie puffed her cheeks twice, about to retort, but was interrupted by a commotion from the audience.
Caden
put down the teacup, and in his deep eyes, there seemed to be a fierce beast lurking, making people feel intimidated.
“Ms. Lezon, you are unaware that after the incident with Beatrice, many students who applied to this university claimed to have received similar fraudulent messages. The perpetrators were even able to accurately describe the interview content. As a result, many students are currently questioning the privacy security of the school.”
“Impossible!” Angie blurted out without even thinking.
“Why is it not possible?” Caden stared at her, a hint of chilliness passing through his eyes.
Angie took a deep breath and immediately changed her words, saying, “I just thought it was too coincidental.” “Coincidentally, you’ll know by checking the official news. I thought Ms. Lezon already knew,” Caden scoffed. Angie was startled and immediately opened her phone.
The university, which recently discovered that Beatrice had forged admission notifications, has just issued a statement stating that someone had stolen school information and impersonated staff to deceive students for
money.
So Beatrice could be considered at most a victim.

Netizens were not fools, and they immediately realized that they were being manipulated. They directly cursed the account that posted the video and got it banned.
Odin smiled gently and said, “Indeed, some things, if not seen through to the end, one truly does not know how they will turn out.”
Angie’s mouth twitched slightly, her gaze wavering between Odin and Caden, not understanding what was going
- on.
These two people were singing in harmony just to help Beatrice vent her anger.
Seeing that something was off, Asher stood up.
“Firstly, thank you Sir Baldwin for your concern towards Odin and Beatrice, but this is ultimately a matter for our Soder family, and we will handle it properly.”
The words fell, and there was no sound on the table.
Asher’s words undoubtedly acknowledged Beatrice as Odin’s girlfriend.
Angie and Xander couldn’t separate, but instead they were at odds with each other.
After a moment of silence, Bella quickly urged the waiter to bring the food.
This meal was eaten extremely quietly, giving a feeling of wanting to finish quickly and disperse.
But it was destined that this meal would not be eaten in peace.
Halfway through the banquet, the usually disciplined butler suddenly hurriedly walked over.
He stopped behind Xander and whispered in his ear, “Sir Baldwin, there was a phone call from home saying that the project you wanted has been intercepted by someone else. It seems like they know every mo
ve made.”
Sir Baldwin spilled his wine as he spoke with a sharp gaze, “Impossible, I put so much effort in arranging everything, who could have known?”
“Sir…” the butler looked up at Odin across the room, “Mr. Soder.”
Xander suddenly looked up, and Odin, as if he had already noticed, raised his cup and smiled at him.
He felt a tightness in his chest and couldn’t understand why Odin knew SO much.
Suddenly, he thought of something and turned his head to look at Caden beside
beside him.
Caden sat upright, his aura already surpassing everyone present.
He turned his head, his voice deep and powerful: “I said, you don’t need

to hurry.”
Caden nodded respectfully to Sir Baldwin again, “Profit above all, as you have taught me.”
“You…you were crazy.”
“I had already said that I could be even crazier.”
Caden tilted his head back and drank the wine, his pitch–black eyes emanating a cold and dangerous gleam.
Xander’s breath caught.
After the banquet ended.
The crowd exchanged polite greetings and then dispersed.
After Xander got on the car, he did not leave immediately.
But they were waiting for someone instead.
A moment later, Angie got into the car.
“Sir Baldwin, I’m sorry, I didn’t know it would turn out like this. But at least Beatrice’s hand was injured.”

Sir Baldwin leaned back in his chair, closing his eyes to rest. Unexpectedly, he said, “Not enough, this thorn was not pulled out thoroughly.”
He opened his eyes and stared at Angie, his gaze filled with unquestionable authority.
“Odin didn’t want to break up with Beatrice, and if he did, Beatrice would come back again. She and her mother
of the same kind, always clinging to powerful and influential men like a plaster.”
“This…” Angie hesitated, “but Odin’s father has already stepped forward. If I were to intervene again, I’m afraid the Soder family would completely lose trust’in me.”

Angie did not want to offend either the Baldwin family or the Soder family.
Sir Baldwin chuckled and pointed out, “Do you know why Caden and Beatrice got involved with each other?”
“Wasn’t it just because back then…”
After
observing Xander’s words and expressions, Angie instantly understood
Sir Baldwin advised, “Find a trusted person to handle it.”
his meaning.
Angie immediately thought of someone in her mind and smirked, saying, “There was a brainless person who could
be used.”
“That’s good. This thorn, I not only want to completely remove it, but also make good use of it in our plan.”
“Sir Baldwin, I am willing to serve,” Angie humbly lowered her head.
Night fell.
Monica brought food to Beatrice and mentioned the dinner gathering of the Soder family and th ldwin family.
“Or Ryan had foresight and made me pretend to be sick and not go, otherwise, even if I went, it would have spoiled my appetite.”
Beatrice caught on and asked, “Mom, did you just say that the university issued a clarification statement?”
Monica put down the bowl and nodded, “Hmm, didn’t you see?”
Beatrice sighed and said, “My phone has been hacked and it has completely shut down.”
Upon hearing this, Monica quickly took out her phone and opened the latest news.
“The false information about you has been taken down, thanks to…”
She suddenly closed her mouth while speaking.
She took the phone and handed the bowl to Beatrice, saying, “Eat first, everything will be fine after it’s over.”
“Um.”
Beatrice was eating the food in her bowl, but it tasted like chewing wax in her mouth.
She knew the name that Monica didn’t finish saying.
Caden.
After eating half a bowl of rice, Beatrice couldn’t eat anymore. She put down her bowl and said, “Mom, I’m a little
tired.”
“You go ahead and sleep, I’ll leave first.”
As Monica left, the room fell into dim silence.
Beatrice closed her eyes drowsily.
At
this moment,
a
beam of light slowly
stretched, tilted, and stopped on Beatrice.
