When Love Turns to Ashes

Chapter 113 Accepting Punishment

Ancestral hall.

Two entrances, big and small, located within the Baldwin's mansion grounds, at the highest point of the terrain.

The high beams were painted with gold paint every year. Above the shrine, there were twin dragons playing with a pearl, symbolizing the status and power of the family.

In front of the altar, Xander, who had always maintained a dignified composure, showed his anger for the first time.

He stared coldly at Caden in the center of the ancestral hall and asked, "You have disappointed me greatly this time! Who exactly leaked the contents of the contract?"

Xander took a deep breath and insinuated, "Has Beatrice been to the Baldwin Group?"

It was very simple to solve this matter.

The humble Beatrice, driven solely by self-interest, betrayed the Baldwin family who had nurtured her for many years, in pursuit of money.

When it was said, everyone would only reprimand Beatrice's behavior of being an ungrateful bastard and sympathize with the Baldwin family being betrayed.

No one would ever put the key to this matter on a business mistake.

As long as Caden spoke...

"I didn't go." Caden said coldly.

Upon hearing the words, Xander forcefully slammed the altar, causing the atmosphere in the entire temple to become tense.

The father and son exchanged a glance, and Xander's eye twitched twice in anger before he turned around.

He took three incense sticks from the table and said sternly, "Since that's the case, you should also know the consequences of doing something wrong." "Um."

Caden expressionlessly unbuttoned.

Keith's face turned serious as he expressed his concern, "Mr. Caden."

""Shut up."
