When Love Turns to Ashes

Chapter 344 Lacey The next morning.

When Beatrice woke up, Monica Menu was already standing by the bed with delicious food.

"Awake? Hurry up and have something to eat." Beatrice didn't want Monica to worry, so she nodded and took the bowl.

But she really didn't have much appetite and after taking a few bites, she asked, "Mom, who were you apologizing to tonight?" Monica listened and, with a strong force, her fingernail got embedded in the egg white.

She wiped her hands and continued to bow her head, peeling the shell. "Who else can I apologize to? Of course, it's you I'm sorry for. If I hadn't been with Ryan back then, there wouldn't have been so many things." Beatrice put down the bowl and explained, "Mom, I had never thought about it like this before." "Okay, enough about me. How cyou cback alone yesterday? Wasn't Mr. Soder supposed to give you a ride?" Monica asked, changing the subject.

Beatrice pursed her lips and said, "I broke up with him." "Break up? Are those rumors that the ladies were talking about true?" Monica exclaimed in surprise.

"What did you say?" Beatrice raised her eyes in confusion.

They saw Mr. Soder getting close to a relative of the Baldwin family, it seemed like the Baldwin family was intentionally playing matchmaker.

Monica felt more and more uneasy, getting up and pacing back and forth in the room.

Beatrice, however, had no reaction. She had known about this incident since yesterday when Angie stormed into Odin's room with her people.

Everything was just a gwithin a game.

She and Odin were almost tricked by someone.

What is Lacey's background? Why did she end up helping her in the end? So many things happened last night, one thing after another.

This was not a conspiracy that Lucia's mind could have planned.

Even Angie couldn't guarantee everything would go smoothly.

So Lacey is the key.

Thinking, Beatrice suddenly looked at Monica who was swaying back and forth.

Monica had met the Baldwin family earlier than her, perhaps knowing sdistant relatives of the Baldwin family, and maybe even knowing Lacey.

"Mom, do you know this woman?" Beatrice found the photos of Lacey and Odin that the stranger had taken for her before.

Monica, full of anger upon seeing the two people laughing and joking in the photo, was about to reprimand Odin when suddenly she was captivated by Lacey's face.

She was also worried that she might have read it wrong, so she deliberately brought her phone closer.

"Her? How could it be her?" "Mom, who is she?" Beatrice asked with a serious expression.

Monica sat down and pointed at the woman in the photo, "Do you remember the last tSir Baldwin fell off his 14:07 48.4% * Chapter 3441acey horse and hurt his back? When I rushed over, this woman was standing next to Sir Baldwin, but when I cto gone. I didn't really think much of her the time, bu..." my senses, she Was As Monica spoke, she glanced at Beatrice, seeming to have sconcerns. Beatrice asked, "Just what?" *t Monica looked at her with difficulty and said, “Caden approachedabout this matter. At that time, I thought she was just a stable employee. She toldthat it was inappropriate to talk about Sir Baldwin's injury and askedto forget what I saw that day. So, I didn't say anything" These words hit Beatrice like a bolt from the blue.

Her mind went blank for a few seconds, and her thoughts slowly returned. She rolled back onto the bed, curling up her body tightly and clutching the blanket, Caden indeed knew everything, He denied everything that happened last night, it must be related to the identity that Lacey cannot talk about. So he let Lacey provoke their relationship with Odin tand tagain.

In the end... he once again, for the sake of others, threw her into the depths of agony.

At that moment, Monica patted her back.

"Beatrice? What's wrong with you? The phone has been vibrating all the time, do you want to answer it? Beatrice curled up under the blanket: "Mom, letbe alone for a while. I didn't want to talk to anyone or see anyone." "Okay, okay." Monica got up and left the room.

At the singles party, apart from the guests who were unaware and having a great time, everyone else spent the night sleepless, each with their own thoughts.

Lacey walked out of the hotel, glanced at the angry message from Xander on her phone, and immediately crushed and threw the phone with her high heels.

Then he took out a new phone from his bag and dialed Caden's number.

"Mr. Caden, thank you for your cooperation with Mr. Soder in helpingfind my mother. She had already gone to the airport. I will send you the things you wanted when I get back." "Um." Caden's voice was cold and weary, without any ripples.

It seemed like nothing in Lacey's mouth could arouse any interest in him.

Lacey didn't want to owe him anything and continued, "Do you needto go and explain to Beatrice? I feel like she may have misunderstood things between you and me." The sound of Caden drinking alcohol cfrom the other end of the phone.

"Go explain your relationship with Odin." "What did you say? Explain to her about the collaboration betweenand Mr. Soder? Confuse Sir Baldwin, you say?" Lacey thought she must have misheard.

"Um," Caden added coldly, "Don't mention your identity, she doesn't need to know too much." Lacey snapped back to reality, "Are you afraid she knew too much and would be watched even more closely?" Caden continued drinking and did not answer.

It had nothing to do with you,' Caden warned coldly, "Alright, I will explain it to her as you wish, and I won't mention anything else." Lacey blew out a smoke ting "Goodbye." Beep beep beep, The man on the other end of the phone clearly had no patience.

Lacey put out her cigarette, turned around to get in the to get in the car, but her phone rang again.

It was an unfamiliar number.

Her phone number is from abroad, and only Caden and her mother know it.

Did something happen to the mother when she boarded the plane?

She immediately answered the phone, "Mom, why haven't you om boarded the plane yet! "Running late, NO I'm feeling a bit unwell, Lacey, can you cover and keepcompany? I'm afraid I won't be able to hold on." "Mom, hold on for a moment. This is in America, and we absolutely cannot act recklessly. I will be at the airport soon, wait forin the VIP lounge." "Okay. Hurry up." Mother sniffed her nose, her voice sounding a bit hollow.

Her weak and dependent mother, Susan Wensel.

At this moment, she was just like a maid, giving Xander a shoulder massage.

Even in front of the man who had controlled them for decades, they could still smile so happily. Xander raised his hand slightly, and Susan immediately smiled and handed him tea and water.

tea "Mom, did you lie to me? Have you forgotten that it was him who sent people to bring you back to the country and threaten me?" Lacey reminded Susan, emphasizing each word.

Susan, however, couldn't listen, her heart and eyes were full of the man she regarded as her everything.

Susan stepped forward and said, "Lacey, your father missed me, that's why he asked someone to bringback to the country XDon't o misunderstand him. He just promisedthat as long as you behave and don't hold grudges against those who deceived him together with you." "He is after all your father, everything he does is for the good of us, mother and daughter. You should quickly apologize to your father." As soon as she heard the word “dad,” Lacey's temple twitched and she hysterically retorted.

"He was not my father!" "He just sweet-talked you a couple of times, and you believed him? He even betrayed me! He did it for my own good? Do you even know what he madedo?" 48.4% < Chapter 344 Lacey "Over the years, do you know how many men he found for me?"
