entering the room one after the other.

Everyone turned around to look, only to see Angie and Lucia One of them was Bella, who was supposed to be Angie, and the other was a good friend and bridesmaid, so naturally they would not be absent from today's dinner party.

The two of them approached and greeted each other, and the members of the Baldwin family also showed them respect, nodding their heads one after another.

Lucia looked around and felt too embarrassed to ask in front of so many people, so she discreetly glanced at Angie. Angie nodded and approached, saying, "Bella, why didn't you see your brother?" Bella shrugged slightly and smiled, "I was also asking my dad." Asher looked at the two of them skeptically, "I didn't expect Odin to keep it a secret from you guys too, he was waiting for his girlfriend." "Girlfriend?" Bella exclaimed in surprise.

She had not had tto ask who it was when Odin's voice sounded at the door of the private room.

"Yes, girlfriend, mine." Odin stood upright in a well-tailored suit and extended his hand towards the adjacent spot.

A pair of fair and delicate hands were placed into his palm, and after tightly holding them, he brought the person in front of everyone.

As they watched the person entering the door, the expressions of the crowd varied and were complex, especially those of the Baldwin family.

They never dreamed that Beatrice, who they had driven out, would actually appear at such an important family banquet.

Odin led Beatrice to Asher.

"Dad, this is my girlfriend, Beatrice." Beatrice politely greeted, "Hello, Sir Soder, I have heard of your great reputation." Asher looked Beatrice up and down, slightly surprised.

Over the years, many women have been introduced to Odin by relatives at home, including Beatrice, who was charming and attractive, and even women more beautiful than her.

But Odin refused to take another look at all.

On the contrary, he was particularly fond of the woman in front of him and wanted to bring her hto introduce her to him as soon as their relationship was established.

At first sight, Beatrice could easily deceive with her appearance, making one think she was similar to those women who seduced men with their looks.

clear and free from any dust.

"Odin mentioned it toseveral times, seeing is believing, and Asher patted Odin's shoulder, indicating agreement.

Ms. Lindsey is indeed different." turned her head and glanced at Odin.

Beatrice heard the approval and felt a slight relief in her heart. She Odin whispered, "I had said before, my dad is not scary." She smiled knowingly.

But when a cold gaze fell from the opposite side, her smile froze.

She tried hard to maintain a smile, but it still seemed forced. Her heart seemed to be at odds with itself, as waves of pain washed over her lips.

Luckily, at that moment, Bella walked over.

"You two being together and keeping it a secret fromis quite disrespectful." Odin and Beatrice held hands tightly, their voices rising as Odin said, "You have been busy preparing for your wedding with Mr. Caden lately, where do you have tto take care of your brother?" "Where is it? Mr. Caden is preparing for the wedding, he is worried that I will be too Bella grabbed the man's arm beside her and affectionately leaned against him.

tired.

The crystal chandelier above shone brilliantly, casting a radiant halo that dazzled and confused people, as if the person in front of them was constantly moving closer and farther away.

Just like them, the past has becnothing but an illusion.

Beatrice no longer hesitated, she nodded and smiled gently at him, then shifted her gaze to the man beside her.

He was warm, humorous, and most importantly, he led her into the sunshine.

Seemingly sensing her gaze, Odin turned his head slightly and smiled, reaching out to embrace her.

"Now that everyone has arrived, let's all take a seat." Everyone nodded and took their seats.

Beatrice quietly walked past Caden.

When she was about to take a seat, she didn't know how to sit properly for a moment.

Now Odin is in charge, his status is almost on par with Caden, and those sitting beside him should all be elders who have cdown in rank.

She and Odin were just in a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship, so it was not appropriate for her to take the position of an elder.

While hesitating, an elder who calong with Asher pointed to the spot next to Odin.

"Ms. Lindsey, you sit here. I am fat, SO if you sit a little to the side, we can occupy two more seats." The elder touched his own belly, and his eyes Beatrice quickly said, "No need, please have a seat." curved into a smile, very warm and friendly.

Odin smiled and grabbed her, saying, "It's okay, you sit down. My uncle has three highs, and the doctor ordered him to quit drinking and smoking. He will definitely want to have a few drinks later while sitting here." "You still understood me." The elder, blocked Beatrice and sat directly in the seat by the side.

and slowly sat down Beatrice thanked beside Odin, surprisingly not feeling scared at all in her heart.

Perhaps it was the Soder family's carefree nature that made her feel like it was just a small matter.

No wonder Odin had such a good temper in this family atmosphere.

If it was the Baldwin family, sitting in the wrong place would be considered rude, and not only the person themselves would be criticized, but their parents I would also be scolded.

It was not one person who trained, but all the elders of the Baldwin family trained together.

Respect and hierarchy were almost engraved in the very bones of every elder in the Baldwin family. And these people almost obeyed Xander's every word.

When Beatrice first arrived at the Baldwin family, she privately joked with Monica, saying that Xander was like an emperor of the land, and those stubborn elders were the loyal civil and military officials. However, that being said, they were absolutely loyal and dedicated to the Baldwin family.

This is also the reason why the Baldwin family has remained strong for a hundred years.

After taking a seat, there was silence at the dining table for a while.

After a moment, the crowd gradually started chatting, and as they raised their glasses for a toast, Xander raised his glass to Asher.

"Mr. Soder was a talented individual," he paused and added, "I didn't expect him to be SO naive." As the words fell, Xander glanced at Beatrice out of the corner of his eye.

Most of the people at the table were from the shopping mall, and they could still understand each other even though there were hidden meanings in their conversations.

Xander hinted to Asher that Odin had been deceived by Beatrice.

Beatrice's face gradually turned pale under the gaze of the crowd. She knew it would be like this.

The an unwritten rule, cut the grass and remove the roots.

Baldwin family actually had

Beatrice was able to break free from the Baldwin family, not because she was lucky, nor because the Baldwin family was generous. But they, as the superior ones, were waiting to watch the show.

I watched as she willingly fell into depravity, I watched as she begged op her knees, and then I delivered the final blow, while also warning others.

Look, this is the kind of outcshe had.

And she sat here today, which was a challenge to the Baldwin family. Beatrice didn't want to trouble Odin in a place like this.

Hearing the sound, Caden's face turned cold.
