When Love Turns to Ashes

Chapter 215 Are You My Aunt?

She did all this for the Powell family. She admitted with her own mouth that she succeeded in framing me and Uncle Caden in the past. That's why the Baldwin family belongs to the Powell family. Her heart only has the Powell family. As soon as the words fell, there arose a discussion around.

"I never expected that it was she who caused the whole situation between Caden and Beatrice."

"That's right, it was she who prepared the crab feast in the first place. She manipulated everything effortlessly, but no one expected it."

"Do you really think the Powell family is still the same as they were twenty years ago?" The words of the crowd completely broke down Jessie's psychological defense line.

The weak body was like a broken kite, swaying and crashing to the ground.

She clenched her fists tightly and said, "Was it wrong for me to fight for the sake of my family? Didn't Sir Baldwin marry into my family because of our abilities? When my family started to decline, he didn't lend a hand, and on top of that, he criticized and nitpicked at me. It's all because of him!"

Jessie looked at Xander sitting above her with resentment.

"Shut up! Why should I help you? Your brother's incapable appearance, who would be at a loss if they helped him," Sir Baldwin reprimanded sternly.

"Loss?" Jessie's voice turned bitter and sweet, and she chuckled, "Hahaha, everyone is just a pawn in the game of interests."

Sir Baldwin looked at the butler disapprovingly and waved his hand dismissively, saying, Take her

away and don't let her babble here."

The butler nodded and instructed the servant to assist Jessie out.

Oscar sat in the corner, his whole being engulfed in chaos.

When Xander looked at him, there was a hint of disdain in his eyes.

He took the tea that the servant had handed over again, glanced at the tea lid, and solemnly said, "Jessie has been seriously ill for a long time, obviously speaking nonsense." "Yes," everyone understood and responded, bowing their heads. Upon hearing a satisfactory answer, Xander's expression improved, but his gaze towards the mother and daughter carried a chilling glare.

"Bruce, since you have returned, take care of the outsiders and give them some money to send them away. It's useless to bring that girl back. Don't bring just anyone home. Jessie will claim to be sick and sent abroad, we still need to maintain the family's reputation." Bruce snorted coldly, "Who said I was coming back? I'm now called Hecate Baldwin, and the farther away from here, the better. If it wasn't for Ryan saying that Caden and Oscar had a problem, I would never have come here in my life."

"Are you crazy?" Sir Baldwin exclaimed angrily.

"Yes! I had long been fed up with the ruthless glory of this family! And you, you hypocritical .. man!" he pointed at the memorial tablet of his mother on the shelf, his eyes bloodshot, "What right do you have to place her here?" 11:23

Caden stared at the rankings, sitting silently with a restrained expression, the rightly clenched hands rested on the armrest, and his jade-like face had turned complondly reh Xander stood up as if to intervene, but Bruce had long since therequited kim "Why don't you elders speak up? Is it because you feel embarrassed!

He questioned the elders sitting on both sides one by one. Those people had guy boards and even more unpleasant expressions on their faces,

Bruce walked up to Oscar again and said, "Do you think just because you are healthy, you can inherit the Baldwin family? No, I am not qualified, and neither are you! Ryan is not qualified

either!"

Oscar raised his grayish eyes, somewhat puzzled.

Bruce coldly said, "Because the only legitimate heir of this family is Cadent Both me and Ryan were born as this man's lovers! We never had any inheritance rights to begin with "It was him who brought us back, using my mother's difficulty in conceiving as an excuse, forcing her to admit that we were the eldest and second sons!"

"Why would she risk her life to have a child in middle age? Because she couldn't swallow her pride!"

She was such a gentle woman, but because she had difficulty getting pregnant, everyone advised her to endure and accept it for the sake of dignity.

Bruce turned around and glared at Xander with anger.

"You should be grateful that the only thing my mother didn't teach us was hatred! I willingly became your puppet, just to ensure that Caden grows up well

"I listened to your words, got married, and maintained the family's reputation. But on the day when Mom died, you were still fooling around with a secretary who could have been your daughter. From that day on, Ryan and I decided to give everything back to Caden." His voice echoed in the temple, even reverberating in the courtyard, filled with his anger.

The sky suddenly became dark.

The people around also darkened.

Beatrice finally realized that this was not really a secret at all, but rather a matter of preserving the so-called family reputation, which no one was allowed to speak of.

She withdrew her gaze and looked at Caden.

He lowered his gaze, and the candle that had been burning on the table for years flickered slightly, casting a shadow beneath his eyes.

Beatrice in her past life did not know these things.

When the old lady died, he must have been quite young. How could he accept all these things?

She pursed her lips and, when no one was paying attention, moved to Caden's side.
