Chapter 3 The Morning-After Pill

Beatrice didn't know what happened in the hall afterward.

She only knew that her mother, Monica Baldwin, looked bad when she came back. It seemed that she had been bullied by other members of the Baldwin family again.

Ryan had no business acumen, and Xander had long given up on him, so the couple had always been looked down upon in the Baldwin family.

Although people still called them "Mr. Ryan Baldwin" and "Mrs. Monica Baldwin", they didn't really respect them.

Monica lightly pinched Beatrice's arm.

"Are you crazy? Such a great opportunity!"

What opportunity?" Beatrice asked back.

"Last night you came back in a sorry state. Do you really think I don't know what happened? You should have apologized! Now everyone is talking about this, and Caden must treat you well if he wants to secure his position as the heir. But you gave this good chance to Madelynn! I can tell that girl is scheming," Monica said angrily.

"If I had admitted that I snatched someone else's fiancé, drugged him, and slept with him, especially when he was my uncle, do you really think I would end up well?"

Beatrice withdrew her hand and wanted to ignore Monica.

As a mother, Monica did nothing wrong.

After her father disappeared, Monica did not abandon her. When she remarried, her only request was to bring her daughter along.

But Monica relied too much on men.

The Baldwin family was a cruel place, and she was destined to be disrespected since she relied on Ryan.

Monica was stunned and said, "That's better than having to please others! Their first son died early, and your stepfather is not as good at business as Caden. Caden will take over the whole^ family business sooner or later. If you could be with him..." "Mom, stop talking," Beatrice interrupted coldly.

"Can you think for me? Don't be so selfish. Your stepfather is honest, and I can't get pregnant anymore. The Baldwin family looks down on me. I have to rely on you!" Monica raised her hand and wiped away the tears at the corner of her eyes.

Beatrice said straightforwardly, "Then you go ask Mr. Caden to marry me! Go now!" Monica was stunned and didn't dare to say a word.
