Chapter 258 Finding a Family to Discipline Her

Bella listened to Angie's words, and the tea in the cup spilled onto the table.

She quickly grabbed a tissue and bent down to wipe the table.

degrees: "He didn't touch you!"

"Angie! This was our private matter! Can you please stop asking?"

Bella was in a hurry and clumsily wiped the water on the table, making a mess everywhere. She accidentally spilled some on her legs as well.

The water stains flowed down the hem of her skirt, and she had no sensation from her knees downwards.

She looked at the prosthetic limb, her hand paused while wiping it, and her face became increasingly unpleasant.

Caden never touched her.

If he despised her for being disabled and didn't touch her, she accepted it.

But Caden treated her well, and sometimes when she felt uncomfortable wearing her prosthetic, he would squat down and help her put it back

In his eyes, there was never a trace of disgust.

There was also no desire.

Angie saw Bella daydreaming and wiped away the water on the table for her. She poured a new cup of tea and handed it to her.

Then he hinted, "Bella, your mother entrusted you to me, how could I possibly not care? If one is a man, he will have desires. Mr. Caden, being so young, cannot possibly be celibate!"

Bella snapped back to reality and stared at Angie with suspicion.

"Angie, what did you want to say in the end?"

Angie clicked her tongue and frowned, saying, "You silly child, always thinking for others, little did you know what dirty things others did behind your back."

Bella hesitated slightly, "Others? Who?"

Angie raised an eyebrow disdainfully and slowly uttered a name.

"Beatrice."

Back in the days of Madelynn, she once became a hot topic with Mr. Caden due to their brief romance, but it was later suppressed. This time, her affair with a kept man has been exposed, indicating that the apple doesn't fall far from the tree, she is a repeat offender. "On New Year's Day, there was a car accident right outside our house. Did you know that you and Mr. Caden were getting married soon? Who knows if she did it on purpose to attract attention?"

She

Angie spoke incessantly, Bella listened with a deep frown on her forehead, and finally, she stood up abruptly.

retorted firmly, "Angie, Mr. Ryan said it was a car issue. How could Beatrice have possibly predicted it?"

"And as for the rumors you mentioned about the brief affair, they were clarified long ago."

"Angie, didn't you often say that women always face injustice in society? So why do you criticize women first when there is such gossip? It's not just women who are capable of handling matters in the bedroom." Angie heard and choked, getting up and staring at Bella with some displeasure.

"Weren't I here for you? You came to marry, not to be a widow! What's wrong with being cautious? Beatrice has no blood relation with the Baldwin family, and she and Mr. Caden..."

"Angie, stop talking," Bella pursed her lips, her face clearly looking unpleasant.

"Okay, okay, I won't say it," Angie walked up to her and held her hand. "Bella, Angie just wants you to be happy."

"Um."

"I see that you are tired too, so I will come and see you another day."

Angie lightly brushed her face, her lips curling slightly, and then turned and walked away.

After making sure that there was no one around, Bella sat still for a long time.

When Angie was about to leave, she happened to run into Xander, and the two of them chatted for a few moments.

Sir Baldwin looked her up and down and praised, "Ms. Lezon hasn't changed much over the years, but her abilities are even more impressive than those of men."

"No, my abilities are not even one-thousandth of what Sir Baldwin had back in the day," Angie said respectfully and flatteringly.

Sir Baldwin smiled and said, "Unfortunately, your wedding plans were delayed."

Angie was pondering Xander's intentions when she lifted her gaze and saw two figures on the opposite corridor.

It was Ryan and Monica.

Ryan took out a box of snacks from his coat.

Mr. Ryan back then was not the shrinking violet he is today.

Whatever she wanted to eat, as long as she made a phone call, she would see the man holding the food she wanted at the school gate after school.

And now...

Monica had a look of infatuation, like a little girl.noveldrama

She couldn't hear the sound, but from her lip movements, it seemed like she was shouting for her husband.

Ha, a slut is worthy?

What did Ryan say, he held Monica's hand and the two of them walked carefree.

Angie took a deep breath and turned her head to look at Xander, her eyes filled with

"Since I couldn't meet the right person, being single was also fine."

"I didn't expect you to be so nostalgic."

Angie smiled and didn't respond, but thought to herself, "Right now, I just want to make sure Bella's wedding goes well, so I won't let her mother down, even though..." "What happened?"

"Beatrice caused such a big commotion during the New Year, it was really bad luck. It made me uneasy, especially since she had some conflicts with Mr. Caden before. And now she's involved in some scandal about being kept as a mistress. How can I trust the Baldwin family to take care of Bella?"

Angie looked hesitant and troubled.

Xander frowned and looked disgusted as soon as he heard Beatrice's name.

The marriage between the Soder family and the Baldwin family was a big event, and if any bad news were to spread, it would have an impact on both families.

But Angie's expression was clearly fake, and he could still see through it.

should do?"

She chuckled and said, "Beatrice is not young anymore. Although she is a jewelry designer, in the end, she just wants to marry a wealthy person from the industry. It would be better to help her find someone suitable and become a proper lady of the house." Xander stood with his hands behind his back, looking at Angie with a dignified gaze, already guessing what she was about to say. He didn't say it directly, but asked, "Do you have a suitable candidate?"

Angie pretended to ponder, her sharp eyes observing Xander's expression.

Although she was Angie in name, she was not a member of the Soder family after all, so she couldn't take the lead in everything. Xander could tell what she was thinking and couldn't help but feel emotional.

If Ryan had married Angie back then, there wouldn't be so many things happening now.

Caden had no idea who Beatrice was!

Thinking of Beatrice, Sir Baldwin felt extremely disgusted and said, "Beatrice lacked discipline. It would be a good thing for her to find a good husband's family to control her."

With Xander's words, Angie's smile gained a hint of contempt.

"Not to hide it from Sir Baldwin, recently I have been discussing a collaboration with the Seiner family from the west side of Chicago. A few days ago, I had dinner with Madam Seiner, and she even complained about her own son not being able to find a suitable woman," "The Seiner family?"

Xander thought of something, paused for a moment, and glanced at Angie,

He was a capable person.

The Seiner family was quite prominent in Chicago. Mr. Seiner was a talented man, and Madam Seiner was known for her traditional and rule-abiding nature. Beatrice also managed to marry into a higher social class, and it didn't take long for her to adapt and conform to the rules. Angie gave a meaningful smile.

"What you said is indeed true, but Beatrice has already been kicked out by me, I can't be her master," implied Sir Baldwin.

"What about Monica?"
