When Love Turns to Ashes (Beatrice and Caden) novel Chapter 345

Chapter 345 Beatrice, I Came to Kill You 

Susan listened to Lacey’s words, and she slightly paused, instinctively looking at Xander. 

Sir Baldwin had no expression on his face. He blew on the hot tea and calmly said, “She should settle down too. What’s wrong with considering a few men? I am only doing it for her own good.” 

Susan nodded repeatedly as he glanced at her. 

She turned her head and looked at Lacey, reproaching and pleading at the same time: “Lacey, your father is right, you are already grown up, it’s time for you to get married.” 

Lacey looked at her love–struck mother, coldly chuckled and swallowed the blood in her mouth, slowly propping herself up. 

“Get married? Marry who? The man who took my wife’s place while she was lying in bed with cancer? Or the man who is the same age as my daughter and me? Or perhaps the man who would first ruin someone else’s relationship and then take advantage of the opportunity to replace me?” 

“Mom, don’t you understand yet? He looked down on you, played with you, so how could he respect the daughter you gave birth to? Otherwise, why am I named Wensel?” 

“In that distant land where the sky was high and the emperor was far away, I was not even worthy of bearing my father’s surname!” 

“What’s more… why didn’t you get married? Is it because you couldn’t, or because he simply didn’t want to marry you?”

“Absolutely not!” 

–Lacey gritted her teeth and glared at Xander. 

Xander squinted his eyes and waved his hand at the bodyguard. 

The bodyguard forced Lacey to kneel down, and her knees landed directly on the pile of broken glass. 

She groaned in pain and tightly bit her lip, refusing to beg for mercy. 

Xander coldly glanced at her knees, and the bodyguard immediately forcefully pressed down on her shoulders. 

In no time, blood seeped through Lacey’s skirt. 

Susan, who witnessed this scene, finally had some reaction. 

“No, no, Lacey couldn’t handle it.” 

She had a strange and complex expression on her face. 

Rubbing and scratching his neck, he rubbed his hands together on his chest. 

Finally, he scratched his ears and cheeks, unable to focus his 

gaze. 

Lacey suddenly felt

Sir Baldwin took the medicine and held it up for Susan to see clearly. “Susan, have you not been taking your medicine recently?” 

“Mmm.” Susan stared at the medicine and nodded vigorously. 

“If you’re sick, you should seek treatment. It’s not like I can’t afford it. Do you want to eat?” 

Xander deliberately shook the medicine bottle, making a muffled sound of pill collision, quite a few in number. 

Susan 

grabbed Sir Baldwin’s arm, pleading, “Please,

“Of course, but…” Sir Baldwin glanced at Lacey. 

Susan immediately turned around and walked up to Lacey. 

“Mom…” 

Snap. 

Lacey’s cheek was hit off–center. 

Before she could react, Susan slapped her again. 

“Lacey, Mom is begging you, can you please listen? Can’t you consider me for once? He is all I have!” 

“As long as he wanted me, I was his woman for life!” 

“You spoke! Apologize to me!” 

Susan became increasingly impatient and eventually started slapping Lacey with both hands. 

Until she became addicted, her body uncontrollably trembled. 

She knelt directly in front of Lacey, pleading, “I can’t leave him… Lacey, please help Mom…” 

Looking at her kneeling 

swollen face was filled with sadness.

“Do you only have him? Then what am I?” 

Lacey’s 

“He used psychiatric drugs to control you. Every time I helped you quit, with just one phone call from him, you would go to him. What am I to you in the end?” 

Susan on the ground couldn’t help it anymore, she grabbed hold of Lacey’s collar and shook it hard. 

“What’s so difficult about just apologizing? I love him, and I’m willing to let him control me!* 

Lacey let herself be pulled without saying a word. 

Xander gave a signal to the bodyguard. 

The bodyguard injected a sedative into Susan’s body and a few seconds later, he took away the limp Susan. 

“Where are you taking my mom? Let her go!” 

Sir Baldwin threw the medicine directly on the ground and reminded, wiping his hands, “Your mother can’t hold on for long. People addicted to drugs like her can do anything, including suicide, once they are addicted.” “It was you!” Lacey exclaimed hysterically, “It was you who deliberately made her infected!” “Lacey, in everything, evidence should be considered. Your mother’s health was not good, so I introduced a doctor to her and spent money on her medical treatment. Her addiction was entirely due to her own lack of self–control. But even so, I did not abandon you, did I? How to choose, you don’t need me to teach you.” 

Xander’s voice grew colder and his tone became filled with impatience. 

Lacey looked at him, clenched her teeth. 

“Okay.” 

“I knew it was not in vain to raise you.” Sir Baldwin slowly stood up, straightened his suit, and walked past Lacey, leaving.

As he was leaving, the butler placed an exquisite box on the table before following Xander. 

Lacey sat paralyzed, painfully got up and opened the box. 

She looked at the things inside and chuckled coldly. 

After the phone was turned off, Beatrice’s whole world became much quieter. 

She slept for a whole day and night at Monica’s, watching Monica and Ryan, who were sweetly in love, and her mood improved a lot. 

Monica, who had been through hardships for the past twenty–something years, should be happy now. 

If Monica hadn’t mentioned Caden and Bella’s wedding two days later, Beatrice would have wanted to stay for two more days. 

Monica and Ryan may not be involved in other matters, but for Caden’s wedding, Ryan, as a close family member, cannot possibly not return to the Baldwin family to help.
