Chapter 347 How Much Longer Will You Continue to Burden Caden?

When the gun was aimed at Beatrice again, she immediately stood up and took a few steps back.

She persuaded, “Ms. Wensel, don’t do this, you didn’t need to ruin yourself for others.” Lacey approached Beatrice with a gun in her hand, her eyes slowly filling with anger. “You can certainly say that! You have Mr. Caden to shield you from everything, and Mr. Soder to comfort you. I only have my mom, and if she has been terrible to me from start to finish, I can give up on her, but she has genuinely protected me too.”

Beatrice actually understood Lacey’s feelings. In a situation where no one could understand, the closer the person, the more they became a lifeline.

How did she try to persuade Lacey to give up?

The next second, the barrel of Lacey’s gun was already pressed against Beatrice’s forehead.

Beatrice took a deep breath and stared motionlessly at the person in front of her.

Lacey said lightly, “Let me tell you one more thing, he didn’t want to tell you about my identity, not to protect me, but to prevent you from getting involved again.”

“Having said so much, it can be considered as repaying him for helping me without any grudges, and also thank you for standing in front of me when you treated me to dessert last time. From childhood to now, no one has ever shielded me like that.”

Beatrice was stunned.

Although very scared, I still felt sorry for Lacey.

Suddenly, she seemed to see the figure of a man slowly approaching.

It was not until the face became gradually clear that she realized.

He really came.

Caden.

Beatrice’s originally frantic heart gradually calmed down, only to surge and completely lose control in an instant.

Caden took advantage of Lacey’s unstable emotions and raised the dagger in his hand, spinning it around her wrist, causing blood to drip.

Lacey’s hand trembled, and the gun fell to the ground as she was pushed down onto the sofa.

Caden pulled Beatrice and they ran outside.

He did not want to kill Lacey.

But under Xander’s control, Lacey had already lost her sanity. Ignoring her bleeding wrist, she scrambled to pick up the gun from the ground and indiscriminately fired at Beatrice.

Beatrice glanced at Caden just now and reached out to push him, but Caden pulled her into his arms.

Bang!

Beatrice’s body trembled, and the man held her even tighter.

But when she came to her senses, he let go of her.

“You went out first.”

The man’s heavy breathing fell on Beatrice’s ears, and even though he tried to lower his tone, she still sensed something unusual.

She immediately turned her head and saw Caden half kneeling on the ground, his body leaning against the concealed cabinet door, one hand covering his waist, fresh blood dripping onto the cartoon carpet through his
