Chapter 26 Used Item
Watching Beatriceâs innocent appearance, Lillian mocked, âBrilliant! Your ability to sow discord and make things up out of thin air is truly astonishing.â
Beatrice didnât expect Lillian to enter at this moment. She quickly lowered her head and spoke apologetically, âIâm sorry, Ms. Wilson. I tend to overthink and speak without thinking. Please forgive me.â
Lillian let out a cold laugh as if she had heard a ridiculous joke.
âIf an apology was enough, we wouldnât need the police.â
After saying that, she raised her hand and slapped Beatrice hard.
Snap!
Beatrice covered her face in shock, looking at Zachary with a pitiful expression.
Zachary stood in front of Beatrice. His expression was cold as he glanced at Ashton and then stared at Lillian.
âWhy are you here?â
âWe were about to leave, but we thought it would be better to explain things to Mr. Zachary Sinclair first. Itâs to prevent you from becoming a megalomaniac, thinking that I have a secret crush on you.â Lillian crossed her arms, looking at Zachary, and then glanced at the trembling
Beatrice.
âAnd Beatrice, Zachary is a used item to me. Now Iâm giving him to you. Take good care of him, preferably by keeping him on a leash so he wonât bother me again.â
âLastly, Zachary and Beatrice, I wish you two scums a hundred years of happiness, a sweet and neverâseparating life!â
After saying that, she was about to leave.
Ashton held her back, not allowing her to leave. âPrincess, be patient for a moment.â
After speaking, Ashton disdainfully examined Zachary for a while, shaking his head. âYou are nothing but a good looking face. Itâs a pity that our princess has been deceived by a trash like you. Can a pretty boy like you manage to maintain your familyâs business? Iâm afraid it will go bankrupt
tomorrow.â
Listening to Ashtonâs sarcastic comments, Lillian couldnât help but burst into laughter.
Beatrice suppressed her laughter, her expression slightly distorted.
Zachary stood up
in anger, his eyes burning with fury. âWhat are you saying? Just because youâre the boss of the Regal group, it doesnât mean you can do whatever you want!â
Ashton, still holding a cigarette, sneered at him, âIâm just stating the truth! That fake and
pretentious woman around you is not only ugly but also fake and vicious. Sheâs clearly a stone that should be discarded, yet you cherish her like a gem.â
âDonât talk about Beatrice like that!â Zachary clenched his fists and stood up.
Ashton didnât show any intention of fighting again. He simply took out a USB drive from his
pocket and threw it straight to Zachary,
âYou know how to use a USB drive, right? If you still donât believe it and continue defending Beatrice, you might as well take your brain out and kick it like a ball.â
After saying that, Ashton lowered his head in front of Lillian and said, âPrincess, letâs head back to

the palace.â
Lillian, who was still feeling upset, heard Ashtonâs cheerful voice and climbed onto his back in a good mood.
The two of them happily left, leaving Zachary and Beatrice behind.
Beatrice panicked as she looked at Zachary, nervously clinging to his arm.
âZachary, listen to me, Iâ¦â
Seeing Beatriceâs panic, Zachary wasnât that foolish. He naturally understood that Beatrice was feeling guilty.
He narrowed his eyes. âWhy?â
âI was confused for a moment⦠sob⦠I was afraid Lillian would take you away, so I did something stupid! Sobâ¦â Beatrice cried sadly.
âZachary, please leave me. Iâm not as beautiful as Lillian, my figure isnât as good, and I donât have her charm. Go after Lillian then!â
As Beatrice sobbed, she ran out of breath and fainted, slumping to the side.
If it was usual, Zachary would rush to support Beatrice, but this time, he stared at Beatrice without any expression.
It seemed that Beatrice was not as fragile as he had imagined. She was even capable of such ruthless actions.
Seeing that Zachary still hadnât come to her aid, Beatriceâs heart sank.
Zachary turned around and left the ward, taking out his phone to call Harris.
âHave you found out Lillianâs identity information?â
