It seemed as if every breath carried deep pain and despair. 

Odin patted her back and said, “Beatrice, don’t worry, I will investigate it thoroughly.” 

Beatrice was very grateful to him, but this was Chicago, where the Baldwin family practically ruled the roost. 

Even though the Soder family had a lot of influence in Boston, their reach did not extend to this place. 

Moreover, considering Xander’s words had reached this point, how could he not take every precaution? 

She propped up her body, sat on the edge of the bed, and looked at Ryan and Odin.

Caden remained silent. 

Brend’s face turned pale, and the words that were weighing heavily on his heart almost slipped. out of his mouth: Please stop pushing me…” 

“Sorry, it’s all my fault. I was chatting with Angie for too long and forgot to take my medication. I almost fainted in the lobby, so I hurriedly called Mr. Caden. Actually, at that time, I was planning to go

Bella looked at Caden guiltily. 

As soon as Brend heard the words “take medicine,” his eyebrows almost furrowed together, and he finally sighed and fell silent. 

Just then, Odin and Ryan walked in. 

Ryan’s face didn’t look too good, and he said lightly, “Let them stay for a while, mother and daughter.” 

Odin got straight to the point and said, “How is it possible that the Baldwin family’s security. system was so good and yet there are no records? Moreover, how could they just sell off dozens of custom–made bracelets like that?”

Indeed, he had no authority to meddle in the affairs of the Baldwin family But soon, he spoke in a low voice, “I may not care about the Baldwin family’s affairs, but I do care about Beatrice’s matters, her last name is Lindsey.” 

Suddenly, the office was filled with tension. 

Brend immediately got up to defuse the situation, saying, “Ahem, I have to go see a patient, so I won’t keep you guys any longer.” 

Odin turned around and said, “I went to escort Beatrice back to rest.”

Isn’t this your favorite? 

Beatrice looked at Audrey with suspicion and said, “How did you know it was my favorite?” 

Audrey put down the pot and burst into laughter, “Forgot? I remember what you said last time when you were drunk. It’s a good thing I still remember.” 

Beatrice didn’t think much and touched her stomach, indeed feeling hungry. 

“I went to get a bowl.” 

After a moment, the two of them each had a large bowl and ate until they felt warm all over. Beatrice got up and took the leftover wine. 

Audrey was surprised and said, “You just finished eating sweet rice balls in fermented rice wine soup, and you’re still drinking alcohol? 

Beatrice poured the wine while smiling faintly, “Have a drink to help you sleep. I’m a bit tired today and want to go to bed early.” 

“Then let’s have a drink.” 

“Okay.”

intoxicated. She collapsed onto the bed and glanced up, only to see that the bedside table was already filled with bottles of alcohol. Medication no longer helped her fall asleep, so she could only numb herself with alcohol. She chuckled and closed her eyes.

Beatrice tried to struggle, but she had drunk too much alcohol today, and her limbs were completely unresponsive. 

I tried hard for a long time, but still couldn’t move. 

The man did not realize that Beatrice had already woken up. He held her hand and turned on the stove, leaving only her fingerprints on the switch. 

Then he held her and placed her on the sofa.
