When Love Turns to Ashes (Beatrice and Caden)

Brend dropped his cigarette butt and stomped on it forcefully. "It seems like this was aimed at Ms. Bradford; Sara was just being used, Ms. Bradford, have you offended anyone recently?"

Madelynn pretended to lower her gaze and pondered, "This... is Beatrice"

"Although we had a few unpleasant arguments, she shouldn't have used Sara either. Does she still have videos like the one she used to frame Sara?"noveldrama

"What if it gets posted online? How can we face people then?"

As she spoke, her eyes welled up with tears.

Sara glared angrily, "She dared!"

Madelynn advised, "Don't worry about me, just resolve the misunderstanding between the two of you and go back quickly,"

Sara didn't say anything and walked away.

Madelynn and Brend smiled at each other.

"The bar surveillance footage was deleted, and it cannot be confirmed whether it was Beatrice or not."

"It's okay, I said it's her, so it's her," Madelynn huffed lightly.

After the commotion at the bar, Beatrice didn't sleep well all night, and she lacked energy for work the next day.

Even hallucinations occurred, always feeling like someone was staring at me from behind.

So after work, she just wanted to go home and sleep as soon as possible.

When she opened the door with the key, suddenly the elevator behind her made a sound.

She thought it was Audrey from next door coming back, about to greet her, when two dark figures suddenly rushed out.

There was a thud.

She was grabbed by her hair and slammed into the wall, instinctively clutching tightly and collapsing.

In a daze, she heard two people mentioning a cellphone.

Immediately, she fell into darkness.

After an unknown amount of time, Beatrice slowly regained consciousness, but the entire world before her was upside down.

When she saw the surroundings clearly, her heart suddenly shrank, and her body, which had been struggling, dared not move at all.

Because at that time, she was being hung upside down on a ten-meter diving platform.

And below is a murky and filthy swimming pool.

This should have been an abandoned swimming pool.

The seats on the stands had long faded, some of them already buried in the weeds, and the windows around the roof were shattered.

When the draft blew through the hallway, it emitted a terrifying buzzing sound, mixed with the squeaking sound of ropes rubbing against the edge of the jumping platform.

Beatrice's body swayed with the rope, feeling as if she would plunge down the next second.

Her cheeks turned red, and her breathing became rapid, with the sound of her heartbeat pounding in her ears.

Suddenly, there came the clattering sound of high heels from below.

Sara, wearing a men's leather jacket, walked to the shore with five or six men.

She crossed her arms and raised an eyebrow, staring at Beatrice's face. She clicked her tongue twice and said, "No wonder she dares to seduce Mr. Caden. Turns out she has a foxy face. What a pity, I am not a man, so I don't understand the concept of cherishing beauty."
