Chapter 245 Killing to Silence
Her body started trembling, and she couldn’t control her sobbing.
It seemed as if every breath carried deep pain and despair.
Odin patted her back and said, “Beatrice, don’t worry, I will investigate it thoroughly.”
Beatrice was very grateful to him, but this was Chicago, where the Baldwin family practically ruled the roost.
Even though the Soder family had a lot of influence in Boston, their reach did not extend to this place.
Moreover, considering Xander’s words had reached this point, how could he not take every precaution?
She propped up her body, sat on the edge of the bed, and looked at Ryan and Odin.
“Ryan, Mr. Soder, could you let me and my mom
mom have some time alone?”
The two of them exchanged a glance, nodded, and quietly left the ward.

The opponent, unable to win the fight, bit Monica’s hand.
Monica’s finger was almost bitten off, but she managed to restrain herself and warn the other
person.
“No father! She was also my daughter! My daughter!”
Finally, the police arrived and Monica managed to save her finger.
Afterwards, Monica held Beatrice and comforted her in return.
Monica had no family, and she was abandoned by her parents, who favored boys over girls, and left in the care of her elderly grandmother.
After her grandmother passed away, she relied on her determination to get into a third–tier university in Chicago.

she gave birth to Beatrice.
Although Monica had her flaws, being a bit vain, greedy, and timid, she was the best and only family member for Beatrice.
Why didn’t she care about Monica?
She kissed Monica’s hand and tears rolled down her cheeks. “Mom, I wouldn’t let anything happen to you.”

Brend applied some medicine to Caden’s ear.

“Do you really believe that Beatrice and Mrs. Monica Baldwin embezzled three million?”
Caden remained silent.
Brend’s face turned pale, and the words that were weighing heavily on his heart almost slipped. out of his mouth: Please stop pushing me…”
“Sorry, it’s all my fault. I was chatting with Angie for too long and forgot to take my medication. I almost fainted in the lobby, so I hurriedly called Mr. Caden. Actually, at that time, I was planning to go
find Beatrice and my sister–in–law. If I had been with them, things wouldn’t have turned out like this.”
Bella looked at Caden guiltily.
As soon as Brend heard the words “take medicine,” his eyebrows almost furrowed together, and he finally sighed and fell silent.
Just then, Odin and Ryan walked in.
Ryan’s face didn’t look too good, and he said lightly, “Let them stay for a while, mother and daughter.”
Odin got straight to the point and said, “How is it possible that the Baldwin family’s security. system was so good and yet there are no records? Moreover, how could they just sell off dozens of custom–made bracelets like that?”
“It’s broken,” Caden said coldly.
“Do
you believe?”
“Mr. Soder, this is a matter concerning the Baldwin family, Caden said, hist filled with coldness.
Odin choked.

Indeed, he had no authority to meddle in the affairs of the Baldwin family But soon, he spoke in a low voice, “I may not care about the Baldwin family’s affairs, but I do care about Beatrice’s matters, her last name is Lindsey.”
Suddenly, the office was filled with tension.
Brend immediately got up to defuse the situation, saying, “Ahem, I have to go see a patient, so I won’t keep you guys any longer.”
Odin turned around and said, “I went to escort Beatrice back to rest.”
Ryan raised his hand to stop them, “No need, Beatrice just messaged saying she went back by herself. She wants some time alone. Don’t bother her.”

When Beatrice returned home, exhausted, she collapsed on the couch. Just then, Audrey came knocking on the door.
As soon 25 the door opened, Audrey entered carrying a pot of something.
I knew you were back when I heard the sound. I made sweet rice wine soup dumplings for you.

Isn’t this your favorite?
Beatrice looked at Audrey with suspicion and said, “How did you know it was my favorite?”
Audrey put down the pot and burst into laughter, “Forgot? I remember what you said last time when you were drunk. It’s a good thing I still remember.”
Beatrice didn’t think much and touched her stomach, indeed feeling hungry.
“I went to get a bowl.”
After a moment, the two of them each had a large bowl and ate until they felt warm all over. Beatrice got up and took the leftover wine.
Audrey was surprised and said, “You just finished eating sweet rice balls in fermented rice wine soup, and you’re still drinking alcohol?
Beatrice poured the wine while smiling faintly, “Have a drink to help you sleep. I’m a bit tired today and want to go to bed early.”
“Then let’s have a drink.”
“Okay.”

The two of them drank and drank until they finished all the remaining Beatrice stumbled back to the bedroom, slightly
intoxicated. She collapsed onto the bed and glanced up, only to see that the bedside table was already filled with bottles of alcohol. Medication no longer helped her fall asleep, so she could only numb herself with alcohol. She chuckled and closed her eyes.
She didn’t know how long had passed, but in a dazed state, she felt someone moving her body With half–opened eyes, she realized that she had been dragged into the kitchen
At that moment,
man was reflected in the kitchen window behind her.
A foreign man, with tattoos covering his entire arms, even strange symbols tattooed on the corners of his eyes, was definitely not a good person.
Beatrice tried to struggle, but she had drunk too much alcohol today, and her limbs were completely unresponsive.
I tried hard for a long time, but still couldn’t move.
The man did not realize that Beatrice had already woken up. He held her hand and turned on the stove, leaving only her fingerprints on the switch.
Then he held her and placed her on the sofa.
Beatrice immediately closed her eyes and saw through the slits that the man had knocked over all the bottles on the bedside table and placed them around the sofa.
Finally, a piece of paper was placed on the coffee table.
She worked hard to finally make out two words, a farewell letter.
Farewell letter!

After the foreign man had set up the scene, he turned around and left. Beatrice immediately opened her eyes, and at that moment, her body had already started to feel uncomfortable.
She struggled to get up, but she couldn’t move
but she couldn’t move no matter how hard she tried.
Looking at the floor full of wine bottles, she thought of Audrey. If she made any noise, Audrey would definitely come to see her.
Thinking, she slowly moved to the edge of the sofa, and then she threw herself towards the bottle
of wine.
Immediately, she heard a sound coming from the door.
It must be Audrey!
Just as Beatrice was eagerly looking at the door, the same foreigner from earlier walked in. He approached Beatrice and sneered, “We will all wait until someone dies before leaving. I’m sorry, miss, but you may have to suffer a little longer.”
He picked up The suffocating feeling of oppression almost instantly robbed Beatrice of all her ability to act, leaving her resembling the fish on the chopping board.

A few seconds later, she completely collapsed.
Fortunately, it seemed that the man did not want to kill her in this way. He just knocked her out and put her back on the sofa, arranging her in a peaceful position.
In the midst of darkness, she saw the man suddenly fall to the ground in extreme pain.
A figure entered through the door, she wanted to see clearly, but it was pitch black in front of her
