When Love Turns to Ashes

Chapter 16 Punishment

Monica hurriedly came to the police station. Upon seeing Beatrice's injured hand, her face turned pale with fright.

"What happened? Why did you get hurt again so soon after being discharged from the hospital? You're a designer. Your hands are crucial for your work!" Monica knew about it. Wouldn't Caden know?

But he kicked the man, letting him wave his knife towards her.

Beatrice thought. "Whatever, let's continue to make a fuss."

Beatrice straightened her hair and said, "I'm fine. Mom, to cut to the chase, did you ask about the thing I told you to look into?"

tonica held Beatrice's hand, shedding tears as she felt sorry for her daughter. It took a while for her to regain her senses.

""Yes, I'll show you."

Monica took out her phone and showed the contents to Beatrice.

After reading it, Beatrice felt much more relaxed."Just as I thought."

Monica pursed her lips and said, "Beatrice, what do we do now? The accident with Abdiel has ended, but you are in trouble again. With Xander's temper, he will definitely drive you out." I'm afraid that it is not just that."

She and Monica shot each other a glance. They both knew what it meant Xander knew about the incident between Beatrice and Caden that night.

Monica tightly held her hand with fear, and lowered her voice, saying, "Beatrice, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have forced you to go on blind dates. Or you wouldn't have gotten involved in these things Beatrice turned around and patted Monica's hand. "Mom, believe me."

Although Monica was timid and weak, she was sincere to Beatrice.

Even if Monica forced Beatrice to go on blind dates and get married, it was because she was afraid that the Baldwin family wouldn't let Beatrice go because of the affair with Caden. Monica took a deep breath and said, "Beatrice, when I came, I asked about it. The man who broke into Madelynn's apartment claimed that you instructed him to do so. Now Madelynn wants to hold you responsible, and she has Caden's support. are you going to do?"
