When Love Turns to Ashes (Beatrice and Caden) novel Chapter 40

Chapter 40 Not the Same World 

This turn of events was indeed unexpected by Beatrice. 

Madelynn spared no effort to suppress her. 

Who copied whom, Madelynn knows better than anyone else, and now she is being falsely accused of plagiarism. 

“You have used this word so well. 

With the reminder from the reporter, Beatrice had already seen Madelynn’s design draft. Admitting to borrowing means she admitted that Madelynn is more talented than herself, so her competition entry should also borrow from Madelynn’s. 

If she doesn’t admit to plagiarism, then she is stubbornly denying it, which is not honorable at all for the second place. 

Madelynn intervened, saying, “Everyone, please stop saying that. It is an honor for me to be able to be a reference for Beatrice.” 

Then, with a sad expression on her face, she said, “But this time, I added the element of the sun in my work because I compared the sun to Mr. Caden. With his light, everything becomes so wonderful. Being borrowed like this, it does make me feel a little uncomfortable.” She blushed slightly and looked shy as she spoke.

I use the sun, and you use the star and the moon. Isn’t this clearly intentional? It’s a pity that Ms. Bradford is generous, but some people don’t appreciate it and refuse to admit it. As the words fell, Beatrice chuckled lightly, finding it amusing.

you laughing at?” Beatrice said, “Do you know how many jewelry pieces have been made using the theme of the sun, stars, and moon since ancient times? So, may I ask which one did Ms. Bradford draw inspiration from?” 

The journalist was at a loss for words. 

Madelynn pursed her lips and reminded, “Beatrice, everyone is talking about this competition. Why are you bringing up something else?” 

Upon hearing this, the journalist’s morale soared and retorted, “Yeah, in this game, only you two used aerial themes. Is there any problem with me asking like this?” 

Beatrice stared at the two of them and calmly said, “Since you think it’s a reference, then tell me why I didn’t use the sun and the moon, but insisted on using the star and the moon?” 

Reporter was confused and asked, “What do you mean?” 

Beatrice looked up at the camera and said slowly, “The sun belongs to the daytime, never to the night, let alone the stars and the moon. Why should something from different worlds be put. together?” 

The scene fell silent. 

They are not even in the same world, so there is no possibility of any reference Caden turned his head to look at Beatrice, his eyes dark and terrifying, chilling to the bone. Beatrice clenched her fist to steady herself. 

She asked Madelynn, “Ms. Bradford, your jewelry collection is so vast, but there is only a tiny unt of sunlight element. So, Mr. Caden is so small in your heart? This little radiance cannot illuminate your universe. If you love Mr. Caden so deeply, shouldn’t the sun be the main focus? Beatrice threw the question to Madelynn. 

The camera of the journalist also focused on Madelynn. 

“Yeah, Ms. Bradford, since you also feel that Beatrice borrowed from your work, why does the sun element have so little presence?” 

Madelynn opened her mouth, but she didn’t know how to respond. 

She couldn’t answer, of course, after all, it wasn’t her own thing, she had no idea about Beatrice’s original design concept. 

While the reporters surrounded Madelynn and Caden, Beatrice turned around and left. 

The cold gaze behind me followed me like a shadow. 

Backstage. 

Beatrice packed up her things and prepared to leave. 

Suddenly, a bouquet of flowers appeared in front of me. 

“Beatrice, congratulations.” 

Beatrice looked up and saw the warm Oscar. She took the bouquet and couldn’t help but smile. 

“Thank you, big brother.” 

“I reserved a spot, shall we go celebrate?” 

“Okay.” 

Beatrice 

nodded her head, after 

Oscar naturally took her bag with a smile.

When Beatrice was looking down at the flowers, Oscar suddenly approached her 

“Don’t move,” he whispered. 

“What’s wrong?” Beatrice asked, not understanding. 

“You had a ribbon on your head, and I helped you take it off.” 

Oscar gently stroked her hair, his fingers weaving through it, as he watched her eyes change. Unable to resist, he leaned in and took a sniff of her hair. 

As Oscar approached, Beatrice’s face turned red and she quickly covered her head. 

“I forgot to wash my hair, does it smell strange?” 

Oscar chuckled lightly and said, “No, it smelled good.”

Big brother, you really know how to joke, Beatrice said, feeling a bit embarrassed Let’s go, my car was at the side door.” 

“Um.” 

Beatrice walked side by side with Oscar, and she instinctively brushed her hair back. 

This was her little action. 

“Only the shy would do it. 

Caden watched this scene, his thin lips pursed, his aura dark and intimidating. With a click, he lit a cigarette, took a deep breath, and slowly turned around. In the corridor, the person in charge of the organizer was kneeling on the ground with Keith covering his mouth. 

Um um um… Mr. Caden! I was wrong! I really was wrong!” 

Caden walked up to him, a white mist billowing out, and said coldly, “Didn’t I warn you before the match to play fair? Are you trying to please me?” 

The other person nodded vigorously, only hoping that Caden would give them a way out. 

Caden looked at the cigarette in his hand and pressed the burning tip directly onto his forehead. 

The other person was in so much pain that their eyes rolled upwards. 

Caden then walked past him. 

Walking out of the studio, Madelynn ran towards Caden in front of everyone’s eyes. She was. “wearing a gorgeous dress, just like a princess running towards her prince, so beautiful and.

Caught people’s attention. 

Among them was Beatrice, sitting in Oscar’s car, watching the scene of the prince and princess falling in love with a faint gaze. 

Oscar laughed and said, “I never expected Uncle Caden, who is usually so aloof, to dote on a woman like this.” 

“Well, I didn’t expect that.” 

Beatrice nodded and lowered her head, looking at her pinched red fingers, not knowing whatshe was thinking.
