When Love Turns to Ashes (Beatrice and Caden) novel Chapter 136

Chapter 136 You’re Just Going To Use Me And Then Run Away? Inside the towel was actually a room card!

Selina took a deep breath, but no matter how she breathed, she couldn’t restrain the craziness of jealousy in her heart. 

Why did all men seem enchanted when they saw Beatrice? 

Even a man like Caden wanted to have Beatrice. 

Why! 

Beatrice held the room key and lamented, “Mr. Caden seems to know about my predicament. Keith said to go to his room and he would help me solve it. What do you think I should choose? It seems like everyone would choose Mr. Caden, right?” 

“Of course, Mr. Powell was chosen!” 

You are only worthy of someone like Mr. Powell, you bitch! 

Selina’s voice was sharp, like a punctured balloon, piercing and unpleasant to hear. 

Beatrice pretended not to understand her tone and asked, “Selina, why can I only choose Mr. Powell?” 

Selina froze for a few seconds and then resumed her PUA. 

“Beatrice, I’m doing this for your own good too. You need to understand that Mr. Powell is our client, and if 

you can’t appease him, what if he starts spreading rumors privately? It would be detrimental to your future work.” 

“Moreover, Mr. Caden definitely didn’t like you. He loved Ms. Bradford. Don’t you dare do something that would ruin their relationship.” 

Beatrice stared at her and reminded her, “Selina, Mr. Powell got married, and his son was even older than me.” 

Selina smiled and said, “That’s good. Even if Mrs. Powell finds out, she wouldn’t divorce Mr. Powell for the sake of their child.”

Beatrice really wanted to roll her eyes. 

While she wa 

While she was not speaking, Selina reached out to grab the room key from her hand. 

“I threw away this room card for 

you.” 

Beatrice avoided her hand and stuffed the room card into her bag. 

“Selina, didn’t you say that we couldn’t compete with the wealthy? Mr. Caden is even more powerful than Mr. Powell, a prominent family. How can I afford to offend him? I’ll think about it again. I’ll go to the restroom first and fix my dress.” 

Behind her, Selina’s eyes were filled with fire, as if she wanted to burn a hole in Beatrice’s bag. 

She thought for a moment and immediately put on a concerned expression, moving closer to Beatrice. 

“Beatrice, it’s not convenient for you to carry the bag and wipe your skirt. Let me hold it for you.” 

“Okay, thank you.”

Beatrice handed her the bag and turned her back to her, dipped the towel in water, and bent/ down to wipe her skirt. 

As she wiped, Beatrice whispered as if chatting, “Actually, I’m very afraid of Mr. Caden. He doesn’t like women who talk too much, and I’m afraid I’ll say something wrong if I get too 

nervous.” 

“Uh–huh.” 

Selina randomly responded with two sentences. 

Beatrice rubbed her skirt clean and blew it with a hairdryer for a few times before turning around, without any noticeable marks. 

Selina immediately handed over the package.“Beatrice, here you go. Let’s hurry to the banquet hall.” 

“Okay.” 

Beatrice took the bag and Selina entered the banquet hall. 

The Powell family held a grand banquet this time, not only was the hall magnificent, but they even built a champagne tower 

a champagne tower in the center that required a ladder to reach.

Every cup was an imported crystal cup with five digits. 

In order to create a vibrant atmosphere, the surrounding flowers were all imported by air from abroad, and even more than a dozen floral artists were hired to maintain them on site. 

Once the flowers showed signs of withering or damage, they would be immediately replaced. 

Not to mention how expensive the delicacies on the dining table were 

Beatrice walked quickly to Alicia’s side, and the two of them exchanged a glance without saying a word. 

After taking a seat, a gaze fixed on her, causing goosebumps to rise on her spine. 

She looked over and collided with Caden’s deep eyes, and the air stood still for a moment. 

Under the light, his gaze was cold and unclear, until Keith whispered something in his ear, adding a touch of playfulness to his eyes. 

Beatrice’s heart grew cold, and she immediately averted her gaze from him. 

He wouldn’t know, right? 

I don’t think so. 

Just as I was thinking, Devin’s voice rang out in the middle of the hall. “Thank you all for coming to the celebration dinner of the Powell Group. I believe that our group will be even more brilliant in the future.” 

Everyone looked up and saw Devin standing on the ladder, looking down at them. At this moment, everyone only realized the true significance of this champagne tower. 

This is not welcoming guests, it is clearly showing off. 

Most of the guests present were people from the business world, keeping their composure as they quietly watched Devin burst into laughter. 

And under the ladder stood Oscar, the strategist behind the Powell Group.

Oscar looked around, his eyes no longer gentle but filled with the ambition of a businessman. 

Perhaps this was his true face. 

A businessman who would stop at nothing to achieve his goals. 

Through the crowd, Oscar suddenly looked at Beatrice. 

Beatrice averted her gaze, unwilling to look at him any longer. 

After the champagne tower was filled, everyone raised their glasses. 

After Devin had drunk two glasses of wine, he said he would go to the restroom. 

As I was leaving, I took a deliberate look at Beatrice. 

At this moment, the rest of the Powell family was immersed in joy, so they did not notice anything unusual. 

At that moment, Selina tugged at Beatrice’s arm. 

“Beatrice, Mr. Powell has left. Do you want to go and talk to him alone?” she hinted. Beatrice withdrew her hand and looked towards Caden, saying lightly,“Wait a little longer.” Selina glanced over and spotted Caden’s figure, causing her fists to clench involuntarily. 

It seems that Beatrice was still wavering. 

At that moment, Caden got up and left the banquet hall.
