Chapter 352
1/4
“Hmph! He’s going to regret this!” Mackenzie hissed to herself. Then, she
signed the papers with a cold look on her face. Jayden gathered the
documents and kept them away after that. “I’ll get things settled for you by
tomorrow, Ms. Quillen,” he stated politely. She gave him a nod, and the lawyer
left the room after that.
All of a sudden, Mackenzie felt a hollow sensation within her. She pursed her
lips together as she mumbled, “The past two months were a waste of time!
When Jayden stepped out of the office, he noticed Beatrix was glaring at him
with a dark aura surrounding her figure. He couldn’t help but shudder for a
moment. Then, he steadied himself and gave her a polite bow before
hurrying off with his office bag.
“What should we do now, Lexi?” Beatrix asked in a panic.
She was good with her studies but didn’t have enough life experience to
handle such emergencies. Since Jayden had left, it also meant Mackenzie’s
decision for divorce had been solidified. I wish I could kidnap Mr. Castro and
lock him up to torture him. He’s so mean for tearing my sister and her
husband apart! Hmph!
To Beatrix’s surprise, Lexi responded with an idea that aligned with hers. “Let’s
not stand around, Ms. Beatrix. We should go after Mr. Castro and stop him!”
she uttered. Beatrix froze for a moment. Is she thinking about the same thing
as me? Oh, gosh. Lexi seems like a timid and elegant woman, but I have no
idea she’s secretly a sadist like I am!
“Stand right there!” The two women only managed to catch up with Jayden
after they rushed to the lobby on the first floor.
Beatrix cried out as she charged over with her arm reaching for the man. She
had intended to hit the man and tackle him to the ground. Fortunately, Lexi
noticed her actions just in time to hold her back. “What are you trying to do,
Ms. Beatrix?”
“Didn’t you say that we should stop him, Lexi? I’ll hold him down now that
there’s no one here. You can snatch his bag from him!” Beatrix’s expression
made it clear that she wasn’t joking.
Lexi was speechless for a while before finally speaking in a hushed whisper,
“Are you silly, Ms. Beatrix? That’s illegall”
“What should we do, then?” It was only then that Beatrix realized how she
might have misunderstood Lexi. So, Lexi doesn’t plan on using violence? I was
so close to beating the guy up!
“Um, is anything the matter, Ms. Beatrix?” Jayden had been startled by her
fierce aura. She’s rubbing her palms together as if she’s about to beat me up.
She has no intention of doing that, right?
Fortunately for him, Lexi managed to hold Beatrix back just in time. “Ms.
Mackenzie ordered me to bring you back upstairs, Mr. Castro!” Lexi
announced.
“What? Is anything the matter?” he asked with a frown. He didn’t seem to trust
the woman’s words.
“Yeah. We have another business case that we might need your professional
help with, Mr. Castro!” Lexi led the lawyer over to the elevator. Beatrix had no
idea what Lexi’s plan was at first. However, she finally understood the
situation after Lexi brought them all to Secret Room No. 8. “Mr. Castro, our
company’s confidentiality regulations require that we do not bring any items.
into the room. Please leave your items at the front door, okay?” Lexi said
politely.
Even though Jayden was a cautious man, he saw no reason to be suspicious
of this rule, so he lowered his bag and placed it into one of the personal
lockers. “Here’s my chance!” Beatrix knew that Lexi was trying to create an
opportunity for her. This is so much more sophisticated than beating a
person up. Hehe!
