seconds, and Bella plunged into Caden's arms.

Caden looked at her, with a slight sense of powerlessness in his eyes.

He could even determine at a glance which medication she should take to control her condition. Bella lay

in his arms, taking deep breaths of his scent.

This man was clearly nervous about her!

Why couldn't I feel the warmth in his heart?

Bella held his hand and apologized, "I'm sorry, I was just too afraid of losing you. I was really scared, could you please pity me? Please don't look at her anymore!"

She buried her face in his chest, hiding her own tears.

distance. "Hmm."

Bella was taken aback, but after a moment, she hugged him tightly, and her tears surged even more. Upstairs, Beatrice, who was walking by the window, happened to see the two people downstairs embracing each other.

She quickly averted her gaze and walked towards the banquet hall.

Before entering, a staff member would immediately hand over a mask.

Beatrice got a white and ordinary mask, while

while Odin had a Gothic...dark circles mask.

She wore a mask and smiled, saying, "Mr. Soder, don't you have any privileges?"

Odin didn't care and said, "Today, the young people invited are from various families. What's the point of having privileges? I feel that I am a good match for you."

"Here." Beatrice raised her hand and tidied it up for him.

Odin held her hand and whispered, "Beatrice, after the singles party, I had something to tell you.". "Okay," Beatrice smiled.

"Let's go."

Odin led her into the hall.

The hall was bustling with excitement, the songs were the latest pop music, completely different from the formal banquet, so everyone around was having a great time.

Beatrice had just taken the champagne that the waiter handed her when the music suddenly stopped.

At that moment, Bella took Caden's arm and went up on stage.

Bella said a lot, and in the end, her eyes were all red as she looked up and stared at Caden beside her.

"I feel very fortunate to have married the man I loved the most in this lifetime, even to the point of being content with death."

The crowd immediately surrounded and applauded the newcomer.

Beatrice couldn't clap her hands either, she could only stand in the crowd and watch as the brightest light fell upon Caden and Bella.

At this moment, Lucia held two glasses of wine and handed them to Caden and Bella.

In a daze, Beatrice seemed to have an illusion that the man on the stage was looking at her, despite the many people in between.

Those eyes were like the pitch-black night, deep and enchanting.

Beatrice tightened her grip on the wine glass, just like everyone else, slowly raised her glass, and toasted to them.

Caden's eyes

seemed to have been pricked by something, without waiting for Bella to finish speaking, he tilted his head back and downed the drink.

Beatrice also took a sip of wine, but she couldn't get used to it and found it too bitter to swallow.

After the toast, the music started playing again.

Beatrice and Odin went to see a few of their friends.

They were all well-mannered and witty, the famous young gentlemen and ladies of Boston.noveldrama

Beatrice was speaking when suddenly someone squeezed in from the side.

She waved her hand, and the champagne spilled all over the other person.

"Beatrice, what were you doing? Can't you stand seeing me come to find Mr. Soder like this?"

It was Lucia who was speaking, not someone else.

Luciá,

with her skirt in her hands,

looked at Odin with a dejected expression.

Odin frowned and said, "I asked the waiter to bring a towel."

Lucia complained, "My fabric is special, it would leave watermarks if wiped, otherwise, ask Beatrice to take me to change clothes."

Upon hearing this, Beatrice hesitated a little.

Lucia looked at her expression and said sarcastically, "So many people here, are you intentionally trying

to prevent me from changing? Are you waiting to see me make a fool of myself? I just said a few more words to you earlier, is it necessary to be so petty?"

In

an

instant, Odin's friends all looked at Beatrice, seemingly pondering what Lucia's remark about saying a few more words meant.

This brings us to Caden.

In front of Odin's friends, talking about those past events is clearly embarrassing Odin.

Beatrice interrupted, "The party has just started, it doesn't look very good like this. I'll accompany Ms. Guerrero to change."

Anyway, the situation was right under Odin's nose, so Lucia couldn't go too far, whether it was for Odin or Bella.

"That's about it." Lucia, as always, spoiled, gave her skirt a shake and turned around to leave.

Beatrice was about to leave when Odin grabbed her.

"Call me if you have something."

"Um."

Beatrice turned around and followed Lucia's footsteps.

As they entered the room, Lucia suddenly launched an attack, turning around and glaring fiercely at Beatrice.

"Have you no shame? Why are you still clinging to Mr. Soder?"

"Lucia, no matter what you think of me, don't forget where we are. What day is it today! If anything happens to me, Mr. Soder will know," Beatrice reminded loudly.

Lucia sneered, "Do you really think you're Mr. Soder's girlfriend? How dare you speak to me like this! Of course, I

know what day it is, it's the day you ruined your reputation in Chicago. What will happen when Mr. Soder finds out?"

Beatrice felt something was wrong, and she had already taken two steps back, ready to leave. Little did they know, Lucia suddenly lunged forward and covered her mouth and nose with a handkerchief.

In just three seconds, Beatrice felt her body go weak and she collapsed onto the ground.

Before losing consciousness, Lucia dragged her towards the cabinet and, upon opening it, discovered a whole new world.

This room was actually connected to the adjacent room.

Lucia placed her on the adjacent bed and turned around to leave through a hidden door. Beatrice stared at the ceiling, thinking that Lucia was planning to do something to knock her out. But to her surprise, in just a short two minutes, she woke up, although her body still felt a bit weak. She struggled to lift her body and just as she stood firm, she heard the sound of water coming from the bathroom.

Beatrice looked at the closed bathroom door with fear, and without thinking too much, she hurriedly stumbled towards the hidden door.

But her foot strength had not yet recovered. Just as she leaned on the cabinet and took two steps, her feet gave way and she bumped into the hidden door, making a loud noise.

Suddenly, the sound of water in the bathroom stopped.

Beatrice was so scared that she immediately pushed the door, but no matter how hard she pushed, it wouldn't

open.

At this moment, the bathroom door behind me was pulled open by someone.

Beatrice turned around in a panic, before she could see the person, a wet hand grabbed the door frame. The slender fingertips, still dripping with water, were shining with a bloodthirsty gleam under the light, while the red jade finger ring glistened.

The next second, the man walked out of the bathroom barefoot, his tall and straight figure appearing as if he had just emerged from the water.

Tick tock.

There was a faint layer of cold mist enveloping the whole body.

The black shirt clung tightly to the body, with the collar half open, the chest firm and the muscle lines impeccable.

He raised his eyes slightly, and the water droplets on his forehead trembled and fell along his eyelashes, hazy and dangerous.

He walked towards Beatrice, supporting his body.

Beatrice kept retreating until there was no way back, and could only raise her hand to block the man's approach.

When she placed her palm on his chest, the scorching temperature made her pause for a moment. Why is it so hot?

In an instant, the man enveloped her, his fingers lifted Beatrice's chin, squinting his eyes and staring at her face.

In an instant, the man's breathing became rapid, his eyes filled with bloodshot, leaving only desire. Beatrice was at a loss and instinctively spoke, "Uncle Caden, you... um."
