Chapter 144 Caden Was Just Getting Back At You
Menu
As soon as Beatrice entered the office, she noticed that Madelynn hadn’t arrived. A few colleagues gathered together discussing something.
After they saw Beatrice, they immediately waved and said, “Beatrice, your move at the banquet was impressive.”
“Yeah, I finally saw Selina’s true colors. I can’t believe I pitied her before and even treated her to a meal.
“Not only that, just now the Kaiser family just issued a statement, stating that due to the fault of the Powell Group, they have decided to terminate the cooperation.”
End of cooperation?
Beatrice hesitated for a moment, then immediately took out her phone, about to check her messages, when Monica called.
She avoided her colleague’s phone call.
“Mom.”
“Beatrice, did you know? The Powell Group is finished! They had secretly brought in many investors under the guise of a project, and now that the project has been terminated, all the investors‘ money is trapped! I heard that not only is there a lack of funds, but they also had to pay nearly ten million for this celebration banquet.”
Monica took some pleasure in schadenfreude, laughing particularly noticeably. “Over ten million? How come there are so many?”
“The Powell family also hired a celebrity to come and sing to warm up the atmosphere. However, due to Selina’s incident, the songs were not performed. But according to the contract, whoever is responsible should take the responsibility, and the money still needs to be paid. Serves them, right! Oscar deceived you before, and now this old guy Devin still wants to harm you. Shameless!”
Monica cursed and spat as she spoke.
Beatrice continued after she finished scolding,“Mom, you should hide in the room and speak. Don’t let the Powell family hear you. Even though they are not treating us well, Mr. Oscar is still their own grandson.”
“I know, I don’t have the courage to say it outside either,” Monica chuckled and continued, “By the way, Sir Baldwin said we should gather at home tonight and he wants you to come too.” Upon hearing this, Beatrice doubted, “Mom, is it you again who made the decision for me?” Monica quickly denied, “No, it’s true. Sir Baldwin himself said that he wanted you to come.” “Before, he hinted that I shouldn’t go to the Baldwin family’s place often, so why is he suddenly asking me to go? Mom, maybe I should find an excuse to refuse.”
Beatrice couldn’t quite grasp Xander’s thoughts, so avoiding him was the best solution. Monica hesitated and advised, “Beatrice, a few days ago, Ryan was promoted by Sir Baldwin and he even gave me a jade bracelet as a gift. He said I had worked hard taking care of his headaches recently. If you don’t come…”
Xander indeed knew how to handle her.

Beatrice sighed, “I understand. After work, I will go buy something and then come over.” “Where was the need to be so polite?”
“Mom, I have been a guest since I left,” Beatrice reminded.
“Um.”
Monica took a long time to respond, and her voice no longer had the previous happiness.
Beatrice was afraid that if she continued speaking, she would start crying again, so she found a random excuse and hung up the phone.
The Bradford family.
“Ah!”
Madelynn covered her face and lay on the ground, tears streaming down as she looked at her father, Ronan Bradford.
“Dad!”
“Don’t shout at me!” Ronan exclaimed angrily.
Juliet quickly and tenderly helped Madelynn up, protecting her and saying, “Money can be earned again, but what if our daughter gets hurt?”
“You! You just spoiled her! Look at the good things she did? She went eagerly to talk to Devin about cooperation, and even promised me that it would definitely be profitable! But not only did she lose the money, she also came back with a lot of trouble!”
Ronan slapped the back of the sofa with a loud bang, which startled Juliet and Madelynn, making them flinch.
Juliet tugged at Madelynn’s arm, indicating her to say something.
Madelynn approached, enduring the pain, and said, “Dad, don’t worry for now. As long as I can convince Sara to help Sir Baldwin solve the issue at the mine, Mr. Caden will definitely reinvest in the Bradford family. Just give me a little more time.”
Upon hearing this, Ronan’s expression softened slightly.
“Why is there no sign of Sara?”
“Don’t worry,
I have a way to make her come to me on her own,” Madelynn assured.
Ronan looked at her and sighed softly, “Madelynn, don’t blame Dad for being cruel to you. In the end, the Bradford family is all yours. This way, when you marry Mr. Caden, it will also be prestigious, right?”
Could Madelynn not hear that her father gave her a slap and then gave her a candy? But she wanted to marry Caden in a grand manner, and a good financial background was essential.
“I knew it.”
“Let your mom handle it for you, go to work in the afternoon, don’t let people think you’re hiding because you’re guilty,” Ronan commanded.
“Um.”

Madelynn nodded, not daring to defy Ronan.
Mary
After Ronan left, Juliet brought her a high–coverage foundation and applied an exquisite makeup.
Juliet sighed slightly and reminded, “Madelynn, we lost a lot of money this time at home. You must keep a close eye on Mr. Caden and make sure no one takes advantage of us.”
“I got it! Stop nagging!”
Madelynn’s face turned cold, how could she have become like this if it wasn’t for Beatrice?
She put on makeup and took out her phone to open a number without a name.
“Help me make an appointment with Sara.”
“No problem, baby.”
Afternoon.
Madelynn leisurely appeared in the office and greeted everyone to have afternoon tea.
After such a big incident, it was evident that her colleagues were not as enthusiastic about her as before.
But after all, she was Caden’s fiancée, so she had to be polite on the surface.
When Madelynn turned around to greet Beatrice, her smile froze and she stared fixedly at the scarf around her neck.
Beatrice ignored her and continued working.
This afternoon, however, was also uneventful.
After work, Beatrice prepared to take a taxi to buy a gift.
While waiting for the bus, Madelynn walked over.
“Is other people’s stuff really good?” she laughed.
“Shouldn’t you know the answer to this question better than me?” Beatrice retorted sarcastically.
Madelynn was not angry, but instead she raised her hand and touched Beatrice’s scarf, mocking, “Take it, consider it a surprise gift from Mr. Caden to you.”
Beatrice was taken aback and focused, asking, “What do you mean?”
Madelynn gasped and covered her mouth,“Oh? You didn’t know? The Kaiser family signed a contract with Mr. Caden this afternoon. And thanks to your little scene at the celebration, Mr. Caden effortlessly regained everything with just a flick of his finger, causing chaos for the Powell family.”
Upon hearing the news, Beatrice turned pale and even felt as if the scarf around her neck was not a scarf, but a noose choking her.
Seeing her like this, Madelynn burst into laughter.
“Don’t you think Mr. Caden
think Mr. Caden gave you the scarf to keep you warm? Without the scarf, could you have confidently accused Devin in the hallway? And now, aren’t you also burdened with the videos of those two women’s

away with a smile. Beatrice stood stiff in the cold wind, even taking deep breaths felt like she was about to be drowned.
When her heart struggled, she remembered the words Oscar had said to her.
“Do you really think he would treat you well? You betrayed him, and he was just getting back at you.”
Caden did it.
She had always been taken advantage of…
