“Should I know her?” Caden picked up the tea and took a sip, suppressing the discomfort in his body.
“She… the new colleague, specifically asked me to treat you here.”
Lucia and Beatrice glanced at the door.
Could it be that this door was locked by Lucia?
Caden saw through her thoughts and said in a deep voice, “She had a grudge against you.”
Can I say that I didn’t know?
Beatrice still feels inexplicable until now.
Caden turned the wrench, furrowing his brow: “The person who locked the door must have known we
Upon hearing, Beatrice immediately realized.
She extended her hand towards Caden and said, “Phone.”
“I was splashed with a glass of wine and it got ruined.”
“How coincidental?” Beatrice felt that he did it on purpose.
“Why don’t you frisk me then?” Caden shrugged, extending his hands.
Under the light, the blood–red ring stands out.
Next is the wedding ring on his middle finger.
were here.”
Beatrice averted her gaze, pretending she hadn’t seen anything, and continued to brainstorm for solutions.
Caden followed her gaze and glanced at the ring on his finger, then lowered his head and rubbed it a few times.
“The innermost wine cabinet could be pushed open, and inside there was a safe, where Keith should have kept a spare phone.”
Beatrice nodded and searched but didn’t find it.
“Where?”
“Inside, where did you say?”
Caden looked towards the place covered by the curtain.
Last time, Beatrice was changing her clothes right here.
Beatrice looked at the curtain and walked in with a brave face.
This is Caden’s private wine tasting area, with a wine cabinet pushed against the wall, embedded at a height similar to hers.
She took a glance and asked, “Do you need a password?”
Caden remained silent for a moment before speaking, “Guess the most unlikely one.”
Beatrice frowned, her eyebrows furrowed. She was already at her wit’s end, and yet they still wanted to play riddles with her.
She directly entered…. Keith’s birthday.
No one could guess who would be killed.
The result was incorrect.
Is it Brend?
Wrong again.
Beatrice lost to Xander again on his birthday.
It’s still wrong, if it happens again, I will call the police.
By then, everyone in the restaurant probably knew that she and Caden were here alone.
“What on earth is it?” Beatrice asked impatiently.
As the words fell, she felt the scorching breath behind her.
The man supported the wine rack with one hand and reached over her ear to press down a series of numbers in front of her.
1125,
Beatrice stood frozen in place.

It was her birthday.
But she hasn’t celebrated her birthday for many years.

The safe clicked open, inside of which were some auctioned wines, as well as numerous expensive antique wine glasses. Beatrice snapped out of it and, as if she hadn’t seen those numbers at all, went straight to the bottom floor and found the spare phone. She handed the phone to Caden: “This is your territory, you handle it, I’ll wait outside.”
After saying that, she walked past Caden’s body and left.
Caden lowered his gaze and clenched his phone.
Did you already hate him so much?
Beatrice waited outside for a while, and when Caden came out, he looked calm as if it wasn’t him who had lost control earlier.
This was the real Caden.
Restrained and calm, one can always detach oneself with such indifference.
As Beatrice was about to ask, the sound of multiple footsteps could be heard outside the door, and she immediately looked over anxiously.
The door of the wine cellar was pushed open.
Beatrice looked at the person who came in with some surprise.
“Bella? Mr. Soder?”

“Beatrice? Mr. Caden? How… how did you both end up here?”

interrupted.
“Beatrice, I wondered where you suddenly disappeared to, turns out you sneaked off to find a man.”
It was Lucia who was speaking, not someone else.
“Lucia, please do not speak out of turn,” Odin reprimanded coldly.
“What do you mean? Did I say something wrong? She sneaked around and spent time alone with someone else’s fiancé, isn’t her intention clear?”
Lucia raised her hand and pointed directly at Beatrice, her face filled with anger and
frustration.
Odin furrowed his brow and said firmly, “I believed in the character of Beatrice and Mr. Caden.”
Upon hearing this, Beatrice felt deeply moved and smiled at Odin.
Trust can be so simple.
It doesn’t require a lot of evidence to prove.
At that moment, she felt a gaze coming from her side.
Cold, gloomy.
Beatrice didn’t pay attention and continued to ask, “Mr. Soder, do you know each other?”
Bella rubbed her forehead and stood up straight, introducing, “Lucia is my friend and also my bridesmaid. We were classmates in high school and then went abroad to study together. She used to come to the university to visit me often, and she has met Mr. Caden a few times before. That’s why she is so nervous about my wedding.”
“Beatrice, you…”
As she spoke, her eyes turned red in a circle.
Before Beatrice could speak, Lucia interrupted again.
“Bella, is it even necessary to ask? She was always eyeing the pot while eating from the bowl. She definitely wanted to seduce Mr. Caden when
no one was around!”
“Are you sure?” Beatrice asked in response.
“Of course, but I believe Mr. Caden is not that kind of person, only you are malicious.” Lucia didn’t dare to offend Caden, so she pushed the
blame onto Beatrice.
Beatrice sneered.
Two different male voices came from behind.

Brend grinned and quickly restrained himself when he saw everyone looking at him.
He stepped forward and explained, “I went to find Mr. Caden to ask for a bottle of wine as a gift, but unexpectedly ran into Beatrice who was choosing wine. She couldn’t possibly seduce the three of us big men alone, could she? If she dared, neither Keith nor I would dare either.”
Who dares, knows it in their heart.
Brend stole a glance at someone,
Lucia looked at Brend and Keith in surprise and said, “You! How did you get in?”
Brend chuckled, “Ms. Guerrero, that’s a strange question. How else could we have come in? Of course, we walked in.”
“It’s impossible!” Lucia blurted out.
Beatrice smiled and said, “Ms. Guerrero, how did you know it was impossible?”
“I, I…guessed.”
Lucia realized her slip of the tongue and immediately tried to cover it up.
Beatrice was not a fool either, it can be safely assumed that Lucia was the one who kept her together with Caden.
Wasn’t Lucia Bella’s good friend and bridesmaid?
Aren’t you afraid that Bella would be upset by doing this?
If Keith and Brend hadn’t received the call when they were nearby, they would have entered a few minutes earlier than Lucía and the others.
Otherwise, Beatrice wouldn’t know how to explain it either.
She wanted to refute Lucia’s perfunctory response, but Bella stepped in to mediate.
She walked up to Caden and reached out to hold his hand, saying, “I also believe you, Mr. Caden. Let’s just forget about it since it was a misunderstanding.”
“Bella… Lucia felt somewhat unwilling.
“Alright, enough talking. Didn’t you say you wanted to treat me and my brother to a meal? Mr. Caden happens to be here too, so let’s go together.” Bella finished speaking and looked up at Caden, her face regaining some color. “Mr. Caden, is that alright?”
“Um.”
