After such a big incident, it

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

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 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 conversations? What a scapegoat! Hahaha…” “And I, still had no problem.”
Madelynn pointed at her manicured fingers and walked away with a smile.

She had always been taken advantage of…
In fact, after being reborn, when Beatrice saw Caden again, she realized that with her current abilities, she was simply not qualified to compete with him.
She could only start from her own surroundings, thinking that by taking one step at a time, she would eventually be able to avenge Stella.

Beatrice got into the taxi in a daze, her body stiff like a dead tree. It wasn’t until the driver called her several times that she snapped out of it.
“Miss, where did you go?”
“Fountain Street.”
She was unable to speak, watching the scenery outside the car window recede, feeling a slight sourness rising in her chest.
