Chapter 161 Your Eyes Resemble the Starry Sky
The man’s hand was fair and slender, with fingertips like jade. It slid along Beatrice’s wrist and into the palm, clasping her five fingers.
He exerted a subtle force and pulled her into his arms.
Beatrice was taken aback, slowly raising her gaze. The man was standing close by, leaning down and staring at her.
It was Caden.
His eyes were deep and profound like the night sky, with scattered stars shining endlessly.
Intimidating yet captivating.
Under his gaze,
in her ears.
her heart was tightly clenched, with her daughter’s soft and tender voice echoing
“Mom, why was I called Stella?”
“Because your eyes were as beautiful as the starry sky.”
Like your father.
In the silent and prolonged gaze, her eyes became blurred.
She didn’t want to be seen as vulnerable, so she quickly avoided Caden’s gaze and lowered her
eyes.
The next second, a men’s coat landed on her head, covering most of her face. The man’s restrained aura tightly enveloped her, causing a surge of emotions to well up in her eyes. Subconsciously, she tightly gripped the intertwined fingers.
His fingertips deeply embedded into the back of his hand, and he did not pull away.
“Let’s go.”
Caden led her forward.
As he walked a distance, people passing by respectfully greeted him.
“Mr. Caden.”
Beatrice wanted to pull her hand away in a panic, but Caden held it even tighter. He responded lightly, “Hmm.”
Beatrice held back her tears, stunned for a moment, unable to understand why he didn’t avoid suspicion.
Caden led her into the empty stairwell and slowly spoke when they stopped by the window. His name was Brenton Goodman, the younger brother of Brend. After their father’s death, the Goodman family was run by the mother and her two sons. Brend had always taken on the role of an older brother and father figure. He didn’t know.
Upon hearing the words, Beatrice tugged at her coat on top of her head and looked up at him with a puzzled expression.
“Why did you tell me all this?”
“What do you say?”

revealed everything.
Caden exerted three times the strength and made it impossible for her to move even a finger. He then pulled her towards himself.
Then he grabbed the two sides of her coat and pulled, leaving her unable to move her head, forcing her to look up at him.
The moonlight in the late night was cold and tranquil.
The pale and translucent light fell on Beatrice’s face, her damp long eyelashes blinked lightly, setting off her eyes shimmering with waves of light. Her lips were lightly pursed, not as rosy as before, but still beautiful.
Caden gently rubbed the damp corners of her eyes and asked, “Why were you crying?”
In a daze, the man’s voice was cold and calm, like clear flowing water, murmuring gently.
Beatrice slightly parted her lips, almost wanting to shout out Stella’s name.
But who would believe it?
What the hell?
“What if I said it was Madelynn who made him kill me?”
After saying these words, Beatrice’s fingertips curled slightly, her heart raced, as if waiting for a silent storm.
Caden stood silently, raising his index finger to lift her chin, bringing her closer to him, and catching a fleeting glimpse of displeasure in his eyes.
Beatrice’s face turned pale.
Sure enough, he didn’t believe it.
She turned her face to the side and said, “If you don’t believe me…”
The conversation came to an abrupt end.
Breathing close, noses intertwined.
The sudden kiss caught her off guard, leaving her mind blank.
She only heard a passionate sound from the breathing, which came closer and then farther away.
Hmm.
Beatrice was stunned for a few seconds, but Caden completely took control. He didn’t let go of her until her phone rang.
She looked at the unfamiliar number, took a deep breath, and answered the call.
“Hello.”
“Ms. Lindsey, I am from the police station and I am already in your hospital room. Where are you?”
The voice of the other party was deep, but it carried a hint of impatience.

Beatrice thought it was too late now, and she would indeed be annoyed if the police were still
nable to find her.
“Sorry, I will be right there.”
“Hurry up.”
After hanging up the phone, Beatrice took the opportunity to push Caden and stuffed her coat into his arms.
“Uncle Caden, I left first.”
She dared not look at Caden and turned around and ran away,
Caden watched the disappearing figure, and his phone in his pocket vibrated. He glanced at the message, and his eyes turned a bit colder.
Also left the stairwell.
Ward.
Beatrice pushed open the door, thinking she would see the police waiting for her.
But little did I know that besides the police, there was also Sara sitting in a wheelchair with her hands and feet wrapped in bandages.
Sara looked at herself, severely injured, but her face was rosy and there was no trace of pain in her eyes. On the contrary, she seemed quite proud.
Beatrice was taken aback.
Without waiting for her to ask, the door behind her was pushed open by someone.
Xander walked in, looking cold and serious, followed by Caden and Madelynn. As soon as Madelynn saw Sara in the wheelchair, she hurriedly approached and half–knelt on the ground, appearing exceptionally sincere.
“Sara! What happened to you? How did end

Just now, Sara, who was still feeling proud, saw Caden and Xander coming. She cried out in grievance, “It was… it was Beatrice who made me like this.”
Madelynn shed two clear tears, as if she was looking at something dreadful, and stared at Beatrice.
“Beatrice, you could always get away with your antics, how could you treat Sara like this? Do even know who she is?”

She got up again and walked up to Xander, lowering her proud neck, pleading, “Sir Baldwin, Sara is
my best sister. I beg you to make sure she gets justice, otherwise… how can I explain to her father?”
The conversation ended.

Out of the corner of her eye, she saw Caden standing expressionless, seemingly unaffected by everything.
She sneered, “Why should I apologize? Don’t forget, I was the one who called the police.” At this moment, the leading police officer walked over and directly unfolded a document in front
of Beatrice.
Withdrawal Confirmation Letter.
She was taken aback, “What do you mean? I didn’t say I wanted to withdraw the case.” The police flipped through a page of documents impatiently and pointed forcefully, saying, “Ms. Lindsey, we have already questioned Ms. Melendez. She said she was just joking around and had too much to drink, but you intentionally pushed her into the water, causing multiple injuries all over her body. This is her medical report.”
“We have investigated the surveillance around the abandoned swimming pool, and there is had a nothing suspicious. However, Ms. Melendez has an eyewitness who can testify that you sudden mental illness and pushed her into the pool.”
“This is the mental health certificate issued by you in the hospital, with both personal testimony and physical evidence.”
“However, Ms. Melendez does not intend to pursue you, dropping the case is also a good thing for you.”
After the police finished speaking, they immediately stuffed the pen into Beatrice’s hand without any further explanation.
No matter what she said or did, the case had to be withdrawn.
Xander stood with his hands on his hips and sneered, “What a disgrace!”
Beatrice’s hand trembled as she gripped the pen, and the people in front of her seemed like demons, baring their fangs and pouncing towards her.
