Chapter 337 Lacey Comes Knocking
“Beatrice, what’s wrong?” Odin called out.

Beatrice snapped out of her thoughts and put down her phone. “Bella confirmed the time for the singles party with me and said she prepared a costume for the masquerade ball.”
“Costume
party? She
actually
listened to Lucia’s
.
suggestion,” Odin
whispered.
“Lucia? The costume party was her suggestion?” Beatrice asked curiously.
“Well, yesterday I heard from Bella that she was supposed to attend a famous masquerade ball abroad, but she couldn’t go because she got injured, so Lucia wants to fulfill this wish for her before she gets married.”
Mentioning the injury, Beatrice instinctively glanced at her own hand.
Odin noticed her gaze and immediately said, “If you don’t want to go, I can help you refuse Bella.”
“It’s okay, we have all agreed with her, so let’s go.”
Beatrice really didn’t want to add any unhappiness to other people’s joyous occasions.
Especially the masquerade ball and Lucia are related. Lucia is not good at anything else, but she is very good at talking nonsense.
Odin saw that she agreed and didn’t say anything else.
A moment later, he answered a phone call. It was clearly a woman’s voice on the other end, but he claimed that Keyon had asked him to take care of some matters.
Beatrice didn’t expose him and sent him away.
She was bored and decided to tidy up a bit. As she was going downstairs to throw away the garbage, a car across the street honked twice.
She looked up and saw a woman’s face through the car window.
Lacey.
She slowly got off the car and leaned against the door, lighting a cigarette. “Beatrice, I have to say I admire you. Even though you knew it was me who called Mr. Soder away, you didn’t get angry at all.”
“I believed him,” Beatrice said directly.
“Huh,” Lacey snorted coldly, “Is it about believing in him or some other reason?”
“Ms. Wensel, if there is nothing else, I will leave now.”
Beatrice turned around to leave, but she didn’t expect Lacey to follow.
Lacey stopped her and said, “The coffee shop at the entrance of the neighborhood is nice. Would you invite me for a cup of coffee?”
“Ms. Wensel, with the outfit you’re wearing, you could have bought a car. Are you asking me to treat you to a coffee?”
Beatrice didn’t know whether to say she had thick skin or no shame.
Lacey flicked the cigarette ash and said, “No need to invite, I had your boyfriend invite me for a drink.”
Speechless!
Beatrice turned around and walked towards the entrance of the community, wearing slippers.
“Wait a moment.”
Lacey called out to Beatrice and turned around to get a pair of flat shoes from the trunk of the car, placing them in
front of her.

Beatrice looked at Lacey in confusion.
Lacey coldly smoked her cigarette and said, “Don’t fall later, or else go complain to Mr. Soder again.”
Upon hearing, Beatrice sighed and changed into flat shoes.
The two of them went to the café next to the residential area together.

Lacey stirred the coffee, but she didn’t

Beatrice got straight to the point and said, “Ms. Wensel, you came all the way here, what is the matter?
“I wanted you to break up with Mr. Soder.”
Lacey either didn’t speak or when she opened her mouth, it would leave people dumbfounded. Beatrice took a sip of coffee and calmed down before slowly speaking, “Ms. Wensel, do you like Mr. Soder?
Lacey gently stroked her long hair and nodded, “Hmm.”
“Really?” Beatrice stared at her and asked again.
Lacey lifted her gaze, her eyes cold, and nodded without any change in her emotions, “Really.”
Beatrice frowned, “Then you go and talk to Mr. Soder yourself.”
With the words spoken, Lacey raised an eyebrow and chuckled.
“I said all this, and your first reaction is not anger. I actually want to ask you, do you really like Mr. Soder? Or is it true what the rumors say? You and…”
Beatrice slammed the coffee cup down.
“Please don’t make things up, I had nothing to do with Mr. Caden!”
“Beatrice, who did I mention? Your reaction is even bigger than when I said I like Mr. Soder,” Lacey retorted, resting her chin on her hands.
Beatrice only realized that she had been fooled by Lacey.
She pursed her lips and said coldly, “My business has nothing to do with you. I think you’ve got the wrong person.”
“I didn’t come to discuss with you, Beatrice. You should know, you couldn’t defeat me.”
Lacey played with the coffee cup, and her black eyes instantly grew cold.
Beatrice held her breath for a moment, and for an instant, she even felt like she was seeing an illusion. She had seen that look in Caden’s eyes before.
Suddenly, the waiter came over and delivered the dessert in the set meal.
One of the waiters raised his hand, and Lacey instinctively dodged and had a strange expression.
Even the waiter was startled by her reaction, as if someone had hit her.
Seeing that Lacey was wearing flat shoes, Beatrice quickly stood up and stood in front of her.
“Give it to me.”
”
The waiter nodded and handed over the dessert before leaving.
Beatrice placed the dessert in front of Lacey and whispered, “This dessert is delicious, try it.”
Lacey looked at the dessert in front of her, then looked at Beatrice, smiling with a hint of complexity. She picked up the spoon and took a sip, nodding her head and saying, “Indeed, it’s good.” Beatrice breathed a sigh of relief and was thinking about how to test her intentions when, the next second, she smashed the beautiful and delicate dessert into a mess.

The strawberry jam was like blood, splattered on the table.

She, however, played with the spoon expressionlessly, “Beatrice, no wonder he cares about you so much.”
Beatrice swept her gaze over the ‘bloody‘ dessert, trying her best to calm herself down: “You misunderstood.”
“Was it my misunderstanding? Or did you not want to believe?”
“Beatrice, I give you a piece of advice, don’t go to any singles parties just to have fun, otherwise don’t blame me for being impolite.”
Lacey stuck the spoon into the dessert, then wiped off the jam from her fingertips with a tissue, and coldly smirked as she got up and left.
Beatrice stared at her, unable to distinguish whether she was good or bad for a moment.
She only came to her senses when the unique scent
scent under her nose gradually dissipated.
And Lacey’s figure was no longer in sight.
However, in her mind, Lacey’s mention. of the singles party kept swirling around.
What is wrong with bachelor parties?
A sense of foreboding lingered in her heart.
After much consideration, Beatrice decided to decline Bella’s invitation.
Just as she was calling Bella, a strange call came in.
“Is it Beatrice? Your local express delivery, could you please sign for it?”
“Wait for me, I will be there right away.”
Beatrice hurried back to sign for the package.
When I opened it, it was a single party dress.
It can be seen that Bella put a lot of effort into it, whether it was the size or the style, they all suited her very well. She even wrote a note specifically.
“Beatrice, you must come, okay?”
Beatrice lifted up the dress and pulled out a red velvet box from inside.
Opening the box revealed a pair of ruby teardrop earrings.
Bella was a bit too serious.
Beatrice couldn’t find the words to refuse, so she deleted and edited on her phone before finally sending just two words.
“Thank you.”

On the other side.
Lucia leaned closer to Bella’s phone and asked, “Did Beatrice agree?”
“Um.” Bella nodded and hesitated, “Lucia, isn’t this not very good? I have prepared a dress for her, just in case…” “What’s wrong with that? You were about to marry Mr. Caden, don’t you want to avoid people gossiping about Mr. Caden and Beatrice’s scandal? It’s just about making her face the reality,” Lucia persuaded, holding her hand. Bella clenched her phone and looked at the dress in the box in her hand, and in the end, selfishness triumphed over everything.
It all should have ended indeed.
