Chapter 14 The Public Opinion Changes

The police demonstrated exceptional efficiency in handling matters. Immediately following Beatrice's agreement to an out-of-court settlement, they promptly brought over the settlement. agreement.

One of them was Gracie, who was taking a statement from Beatrice.

She kindly reminded Beatrice, "Are you sure you have thought it through?" Beatrice held the pen, trembling slightly, and forced a bitter smile, saying."I have thought it through. Let's finish it." She was asked to do that, and she had no other options.

Without giving herself a chance to regret it, Beatrice quickly signed her name. Gracie sighed and walked away with the settlement agreement.

Immediately, Monica entered the ward carrying a food box.

Their eyes met, and Monica's eyes turned red with guilt. "Beatrice..."

"I know. Is Ryan okay?" Beatrice asked.

Monica wiped away her tears and sighed as she took out the food for Beatrice, "He's fine, just getting scolded. You know Xander's temper. It's all Abdiel's fault, a scoundrel! He looks decent, but turns out to be such a bastard." Beatrice sighed and said, "Mom, I didn't want to get married."

Monica didn't dare to mention this matter anymore and casually said, "I know. Anyway, public opinion is all focused on Madelynn now, and it has nothing to do with us. If you don't want to get married, I won't force you. I'm just worried that our family will think you're still thinking about someone you shouldn't be."

With that, she placed the mushroom soup into Beatrice's hands.

Beatrice lost her appetite, pondering over Monica's words.

"Mom, what do you mean by the public opinion?"

"Finally, someone online realized what was going on, saying that Madelynn was trying to force Caden to marry her, which was why she made a fuss. Now, netizens are scolding her for being shameless. So many people are jealous of her being with Caden. Now that people got the gonds on her, they will make things difficult for her. I knew she was scheming. Monica sighed as she told Beatrice about the comments online. Beatrice, however, felt something was wrong, so she quickly took out her phone to check the

online news.

There were indeed many netizens who claimed that Madelynn was desperate to marry Caden, blaming her for being shameless.

Overnight, the public opinion completely changed.

Monica took her phone away and said, "You have to have more nutrient food. Just ignore Madelynn."

Beatrice frowned and said, "Uncle Caden loves Madelynn so much. How can I just ignore her?

What do you mean by that?" Monica asked suspiciously.

"Mom, don't you often have meals with your former colleagues? Can you help me inquire about Madelynn's movement?"

One of the main reasons why Monica was able to meet Ryan was because Monica used to work as a salesgirl in a luxury store.
