Beatrice looked at her coldly and said, “How could Mr. Caden, a respectable man, not even prepare a scarf for Mrs. Baldwin? It’s alright, you can ask for more in the dowry.”
Then he forcefully pushed her hand away.
Madelynn glared at Beatrice with resentment, but in the next second, a cold smirk curled up at the corner of her mouth as she gracefully leaned back onto the plant stand.
“Ah!”

Upon hearing the sound, everyone in the conference room ran out.
“Ms. Bradford, what happened to you?”
A colleague quickly helped Madelynn up.
Madelynn’s cheeks turned pale, and her misty eyes were filled with grievances, but when she spoke, her words were comforting. “It was me who didn’t stand firm, don’t, don’t blame Beatrice.”
Beatrice’s hand had just dropped, appearing guilty in the eyes of others.
She didn’t want to get caught in a self–proving whirlpool and said directly, “Who is right or wrong can be checked on the surveillance cameras.” A colleague said in a sarcastic tone, “Because of Selina’s incident, Ms. Moreno plans to replace the old surveillance system with a more advanced one. She dismantled the old surveillance system last night. Isn’t it obvious?”

At this moment, a tall figure swiftly passed by Beatrice and firmly embraced Madelynn. “What happened?”
As soon as the chilling melody started, it sent shivers down everyone’s spine.
It was Caden.
Everyone fell silent and turned to look at Beatrice.
Madelynn weakly tugged at Caden’s collar, “Mr. Caden, Beatrice probably didn’t mean to, I don’t know why she suddenly came up to me and showed the hickey under her scarf. I just thought this is a workplace, so I wanted her to be more discreet, but she got angry and then… it’s my fault, I shouldn’t have interfered.”
“Ouch… it hurts so much, and I feel so dizzy.”
With that, she collapsed into Caden’s arms, her lips pale and tears sliding perfectly from the corners of her eyes, looking truly pitiful.
