When Love Turns to Ashes
Chapter 4
Chapter 4 Is It Enough?
Under Caden's icy gaze, Beatrice pressed her lips together tightly, trying her best to stay calm.
Yet, despite her resolve, the memories of eight years of torment in her previous life caused her fingers to tremble uncontrollably. She turned her head around.
Caden no longer looked at her. His voice was laced with disdain."Were you planning to get pregnant in secret?"
Beatrice frowned, her eyes darting toward Monica.
Monica had bought the pill. Did this mean she still hadn't given up on marrying her off to Caden?

Beatrice looked up, finding herself surrounded by countless stares.
Among them, one particular gaze felt distinct.
It belonged to Madelynn.
The subtle smirk on her lips reminded Beatrice of dark moments from her past.
And sure enough, in the next moment-
Madelynn turned her back to the crowd and grasped Beatrice's hand in a gesture of concern."Beatrice, I'm so sorry, but I couldn't deceive Mr. Caden or Xander, so I had to come clean."
"But I never expected you would use me to divert public outrage while secretly planning to conceive."
"If I hadn't come to comfort you and overheard your scheme, wouldn't you have gotten your way? If you had truly gotten pregnant, what would happen to Mr. Caden and me?" Tears streamed down Madelynn's face as her voice broke with sobs, each word drenched in grievance.
The crowd seethed with anger, rallying behind Madelynn with righteous indignation.
"Everyone knows what she's up to. She wants to replace Madelynn! If she really got pregnant, using the child as leverage, Caden would have no choice but to marry her. By then, our family reputation would be utterly ruined!"
A man clenched his fists in fury."I've never seen such a shameless scheme in my life! Thank heavens Madelynn thought of the bigger picture and didn't fall into her trap. Otherwise, a true pair of lovers would have been torn apart by her!" 'Caden, you can't keep Beatrice around. Who knows what tricks she might pull next?"
Each word pierced Beatrice's heart like a dagger.
It was just like her past life-everyone rallied around Madelynn, casting her aside as worthless. She had heard it all before. She should be used to it by now.
