Chapter 3 Have Fun with Your Girlfriend
Desmond stood behind Beatrice, looking grim.
Beatrice noticed people glancing over her shoulder, so she turned to see what was up.
Spotting Desmond, she raised an eyebrow.
Then, she glanced back at the short–haired girl sitting in the corner of the sofa.

Earlier, when Beatrice arrived, that girl had been lounging with her legs crossed, twirling her hair, and wearing a smug smile.
But now, the smile was gone. Her face was ashen, and she glared at Beatrice.
Turned out, the two of them had shown up in gatherings like this as a couple more than once. They didn’t even bother to keep their relationship a secret.
Desmond strode forward.
The others snapped back to reality and quickly tried to smooth things over.
“Beatrice, I’m sorry. We were talking nonsense.”
“Beatrice, there is nothing going on between Desmond and Ms. Fairfax.”

“Anything else?” Beatrice replied calmly.
“Put away your suspicious mind if you still want to be with me. I don’t have time to deal with your nonsense.”
“Fine. Is that all?”
Desmond frowned. He went on, “Beatrice, you’re annoying whenever you make a scene. You know that?”
But soon, he wouldn’t be annoyed by her.
With that in mind, Beatrice stood up and walked upstairs, a sneer on her face.
Desmond felt even more irritated by her sneer. He sat in the living room for a while before going upstairs to their bedroom.

In the dark, Beatrice had her back to him. She nudged herself to the bedside, trying to avoid his touch.

Trapped in The Boss’s Embrace
Chapter 4 Triangle Love
Beatrice arrived at Belmont Manor at about 11:40 a.m.
The Belmont family’s butler, Cullen Henderson, was very surprised to see her.
He knew a guest was coming, but he had not expected it to be Beatrice.
The thought that Desmond was playing Gomoku with Madeline in the living room made him break into a nervous sweat.
Only a handful of people knew about Desmond and Beatrice’s marriage. Besides their parents, only Roland and a few servants of the Belmont family were aware of it.
“Mrs. Belmont, please come with me.”
Cullen, following Autumn’s orders, led the way reluctantly.
Before they reached the living room, they heard Madeline’s sweet, coquettish voice.
“I won again, Desmond! Did you let me win on purpose?”
Beatrice halted in her tracks.
Her mind went blank for a moment, but she soon understood what was going on.
