Chapter 145 Killing Brings Guilt Menu

In fact, after being reborn, when Beatrice saw Caden again, she realized that with her current abilities, she was simply not qualified to compete with him.

She could only start from her own surroundings, thinking that by taking one step at a time, she would eventually be able to avenge Stella.

But she had overestimated herself, as it turned out that every step she took was within Caden's control.

Beatrice got into the taxi in a daze, her body stiff like a dead tree. It wasn't until the driver called her several times that she snapped out of it. "Miss, where did you go?"

One of the security guards had a good relationship with her, and every time he saw her, he would be polite and respectful.

"Ms. Lindsey, you have arrived. Please come in, as Mrs. Jessie Baldwin and Mr. Oscar have also returned."

He smiled and opened the door on the pedestrian path, beckoning Beatrice to come in.
