Caden lit a lighter and felt the warmth of the flame,

It was quite ironic to hear these words from another man's mouth.

He sneered lightly, his face turning cold.

Odin didn't pay attention and continued, "The Baldwin family's influence is intricate. Even if you have already gained control over a significant portion of it, the rest still remains in Sir Baldwin's hands. If you want to take control of the entire Baldwin family, it will probably take some time. However, it is evident that Sir Baldwin only needs one move to control you," For example, Beatrice,

As the words fell, the lighter in Caden's hand went out, and the scorching body of the lighter burned his palm. It felt like being pricked by a needle.

Involving the Baldwin family, Odin remained silent and raised his hand to pat Caden's shoulder. "Besides, I was also doing it for my sister. I didn't want her to make a mistake, because then it wouldn't be as simple as owing her a life." Today everyone understands that Bella's words were not just a moment of impatience, but rather the result of a buildup of many emotions. After saying that, Odin left the balcony.

Kitchen.

Beatrice waited for the water to boil while she dealt with the newly bought vegetables by the sink.

As she heard the water boiling, she was about to turn around to make tea when she heard a familiar voice.

"I came."

It was Bella.

Beatrice nodded and continued to work on the dishes, keeping her head down. Behind her, Bella opened the tea canister and poured tea leaves into the cup. "Beatrice, was I really terrible?"

"No, don't overthink it," Beatrice said, her hands never stopping, appearing as if she didn't care at all. "Sorry, I also didn't know what happened to me," Bella said gloomily.

Upon hearing the words, Beatrice accidentally pulled out a handful of vegetable leaves.

"Bella, you really overthink things," she laughed and walked away.

Bella turned around and stared at her for a long time, saying, "I knew."

Neither of them mentioned why, which is considered decent between adults.

Bella brewed tea and shouted towards the door.

"Bro, can you help me carry this, and I'll help Beatrice with the dishes."

"Okay."

Odin stood at the kitchen door and took the tray, looking at the harmonious scene in the kitchen, and he also breathed a sigh of relief.

With Bella's help, Beatrice cooked much faster.

As she was preparing the soup, Bella suddenly approached.

"Beatrice, I came this time mainly to bring gifts."

"Gift?"

"Yes, Mr. Caden and I wanted to thank you for helping us design such a beautiful wedding ring. Mr. Caden said it suits us very well, after all, it is something we will wear for a lifetime, and we both value it a lot." Bella lifted her hand adorned with a diamond ring and gestured.
