Beatrice found Audrey at the entrance of the supermarket, watching the

commotion.
“Beatrice, are you okay? After I was pushed out, I couldn’t squeeze back in,” Audrey tugged at her disheveled dress.
“It’s okay, I went through the side door,” Beatrice explained.
“It’s a good thing you had foresight. Let’s go, we should hurry back,” Audrey took out her phone and checked the time, “It’s already past one? Let’s take a taxi back, I bought spare ribs specifically, I’ll stew soup for you later.”
“Just eat something casually, there’s no need to make it so complicated.”
Beatrice thought Audrey was acting a bit strange today.
Not gossiping, but also particularly considerate.
Audrey supported her to the roadside to hail a taxi, muttering, “You shouldn’t be careless. Your hand is still injured, you should take better care of it.”
Beatrice could not help but laugh and cry, but she still got on the car with her.
On the way back, Audrey pointed at the vegetables in the bag and talked about what delicious dishes she wanted to make.
Beatrice became increasingly puzzled, “Audrey, how do you know so many dishes that I loved to eat?”
Audrey gulped and explained, “We have eaten together so many times, how could I not see it? I am the gossip queen, could anything escape my eyes?”
“Uh–huh.”
Beatrice nodded.
After arriving at the residential area, Audrey hurriedly paid for the car fare. As soon as she -screen displayed a payment of one hundred thousand.

Beatrice exclaimed, “Audrey, did you win the jackpot?”
Audrey quickly retreated to the interface and pulled Beatrice out of the car.
“Um… I used to work overtime all the time before, but recently the project was completed, so I received my bonus.”
“Such a big company, you guys transfer bonuses through WhatsApp? The boss and the finance department don’t want to deal with it anymore?” Beatrice exclaimed in surprise.
“Shh, this wasn’t meant to be rewarded privately, I can’t say.” Audrey whispered.
Beatrice nodded, looking as if she understood.
Audrey worked very hard, and she almost worked overtime on projects throughout last year.
Upon reflection, she deserved the 100,000 private reward.

Audrey pushed Beatrice into

“I arrived home.”
After arriving home, Audrey asked Beatrice to rest on the sofa while she went to the kitchen to cook.
She was cooking while chatting, “By the way, where is Mr. Soder? Why didn’t he come to accompany you?”
Beatrice pinched the pillow and said, “His sister is getting married soon, and relatives are coming to Chicago one after another. He definitely has to go and entertain them.”
“You’re not going? But you’re his girlfriend,” Audrey asked, and suddenly there was silence, not even the sound of washing vegetables.
A few seconds later, she poked her head out and said, “Sorry, I forgot that his sister was going to marry Mr.

Caden.”

Beatrice raised her hand and said, “I was still injured, so even if I went, I couldn’t do anything and instead, he would have to take care of me.”
“Me too.”
Audrey nodded and continued cooking.
Speaking of the devil.
Just as we mentioned Odin, his message arrived.
“I have something to do tomorrow, so I may not be able to accompany you to the hospital for the follow–up examination.”
“It’s okay, I’ll go by myself.”
After having dinner, Beatrice and Audrey chatted for a while and then went back to rest.
The next day.
The Baldwin family was busy preparing for the wedding of Caden and Bella.
Odin was invited to come over for dinner and he brought along the gift from his family to Bella.
Just as I walked into the restaurant, apart from the Baldwin family whom I had seen before, there was an additional unfamiliar face.
The woman sat beside Xander, appearing calm, but her gaze was very aggressive.
Looking at Odin, he smiled faintly.
Odin politely nodded and then turned around to walk towards Bella.
“I had Keyon deliver the things to your yard.”
“Um.” Bella nodded, forcing a smile, her gaze constantly scanning the doorway.
“Has Mr. Caden not arrived yet?”
“He has been busy lately, it’s okay if he’s late, I’ll wait for him,” Bella instinctively made excuses for Caden.
Watching his younger sister like this, Odin felt a bit reluctant in his heart.
“Bella, if…”
“I’m fine, don’t overthink it. He was always busy, but once we got married, we had more time together,” Bella stubbornly interrupted.
Odin remained silent.
At this moment, the voice of the butler came from the entrance.
“Mr. Caden.”
“Um.”
Caden
walked
steadily, his eyes cold and
stern,
emitting an

aura.
He glanced at the women next to Xander and approached expressionlessly. Xander stood up and said, “Since everyone is here, let me introduce first.”
“This is Lacey, a distant relative of the Baldwin family. Her mother settled abroad many years ago, and she is currently working as a product manager at the Baldwin Group’s overseas company. She came back to attend Bella and Caden’s wedding.”
Angie agreed, “Ms. Wensel is really talented and promising, you can tell from her upbringing.”

“Too kind.” Lacey chuckled lightly, her gaze shifting towards Caden. “I am also honored to attend Mr. Caden and Ms. Soder’s wedding.”
“Alright, alright, let’s sit down and talk slowly,” Xander waved his hand, inviting everyone to take a seat.
As soon as Odin sat down, Xander pointed to the seat next to him.
“You young people have a topic, so let’s sit together.“.
“Okay.”
Lacey sat directly next to Odin.
She extended her hand generously to Odin and said, “Mr. Soder, it’s a pleasure to meet you.”
“Polite.” Odin ignored her hand and drank tea by himself.
Lacey casually dropped her hand.
Afterwards, the table seemed harmonious, but in reality, there were hidden undercurrents.
As the end approached, Xander took a sip of his drink and cast a cold, fierce glance at Lacey.
Lacey nodded and, as Odin raised his hand, accidentally spilled the scalding tea onto her own hand.
“Ah! It was so hot!”
Angie immediately got up and handed over a towel, saying, “Ms. Wensel, are you okay?” “It’s okay, Mr. Soder didn’t notice either. It was my own fault for not placing the cup properly,” Lacey said, wincing in pain as she held her hand.
Angie urged, “Odin, after all, Ms. Wensel is a woman. It wouldn’t be good if sh ere left with a scar. You should quickly take her to the hospital.”
Bella looked at Lacey’s swollen hand back and worriedly said, “Brother, why don’t you take her to the hospital? She looks really serious.”
Odin glanced at Lacey and nodded, “Ms. Wensel, please.”
Lacey glanced up slightly and said, “Thank you.”
Odin took Lacey and left the Baldwin family to go to the hospital.
Hospital.
Beatrice came for a follow–up, and the wound was healing well. The medication was changed, and the bandage was slightly smaller than before.
But the hand still had no strength, and currently even bending the fingers was difficult. She was feeling a bit frustrated, but the nurse kept comforting her.
“I have seen many people who were more seriously ill than you, but they recovered quite well through exercise later on. Don’t lose heart.”
“Thank you.”
“Don’t forget to go to the therapy room later.”
“Okay.”
After changing the medicine, when Beatrice was getting ready to go to the therapy room, she received a text message from an unknown nuinber on her phone.
I opened it and to my surprise, it was a close–up photo of someone’s back.
The man, she recognized at first sight.

Odin.
The silhouette of the woman in his arms was both familiar and unfamiliar.

From the background of the photo, it can be seen that the two individuals were in the hospital where Beatrice was located.
But Odin clearly said he had something to do today, so how could he come to the hospital with a woman?
Why did Odin deceive her?
Beatrice’s mind was in a mess as she searched through the past based on the information in the photo,
