Chapter 355
“Quit your act” Jared said coldly, “As far as I’m concerned, your little tricks are just child’s play”
Beatrice didn’t expect Jared to see through her.
She had done her best to act
But Beatrice couldn’t admit it
*Jared, I don’t understand what you’re talking about, did I say something to upset you? If so, I apologize”
Jared couldn’t be bothered to argue with someone playing dumb.
His voice was as cold as ice “Beatrice, I won’t repeat myself again today, for your sister’s sake, this is the last time. If something like this happens again, I will call the press and security”
“Jared, I was drunk, talking nonsense. You took it seriously, but I honestly can’t remember what I said just now.”
“Leave now, and don’t ever show up in front of me again. If you try to stir up trouble between your sister and me again, I’ll make sure you get what’s coming to you” Beatrice feigned confusion: “Jared, I’m leaving first, you’re not going to tell Agnes about what happened today, are you?”
Jared’s expression remained unreadable, and he held his silence.
Would he tell Agnes about this confrontation? He certainly didn’t want to distress her.
Suddenly, Beatrice broke into a sly chuckle. “You know, Jared, there’s probably something wild Agnes did for Elton that you’re unaware of Don’t let her poised extenor fool you. Deep down, Elton still occupies a piece of her heart. After their break-up, she grew disillusioned with the concept of marriage and just impulsively settled down with someone. We grew up together, and while we may have our differences, no one understands her better than I do. Het inability to forgive Elton stems from her lingering love for him. Why don’t you ask her about the significance of the tattoo on the nape of her neck?”
A chill swept across Jared’s features, his face a mask of icy detachment.
Beatrice smiled slightly: “Jared, I’m not trying to cause strife. I just think that a person like my sister is not worth your wholehearted devotion. Because you can never have her whole heart. It was given to another man many years ago. Even if she takes it back now, it’s already broken.”
“If Agnes has been hurt by Elton before, I will make up for it bit by bit. I don’t need her to love me, as long as I love her. My love for her is unconditional As for you, if you utter another word, the role your mother worked so hard to get for you will be gone.”
Jared’s voice was chilling, and he clearly wasn’t joking.
Beatrice was furious, even if she couldn’t have Jared, she wanted to cause some trouble between him and Agnes.
She deliberately mentioned Elton multiple times to make Jared jealous
But she didn’t expect him to trust Agnes so much.
She couldn’t stand it.
Beatrice decided to be frank: “Do you know that Agnes has been taking birth control pills? She doesn’t plan to have a baby with you, do you really think she loves you?”
The moment Beatrice said this, she noticed a major shift in the atmosphere around Jared.
