Chapter 537
After Laura left, Beatrice went to the bedside and made a call.
“Hey, Jared, it’s Beatrice.”
A cold and clear voice came from the other end of the phone, “I know, what’s up?”
Hearing his indifferent tone, Beatrice felt a pang of disappointment.
But she still said gently, “Jared, tomorrow is my birthday, I’m having a party. Can you make it? It’s at The Capital Hotel’s banquet hall.”
Jared’s tone was as cold as before, Sorry, I’m busy.”
Beatrice knew Jared was about to hang up.
Before Jared could end the call, Beatrice quickly said, “Wait, I have something else to say.”
“What is it?”
“Tomorrow’s birthday party will be in the form of a charity auction. The items for auction are some antiques and jewelry from my collection. There’s a bracelet that I brought from the safe in my old house. My mom told me it was something my sister always wore, from birth until she was ten…”
Beatrice stopped talking, Jared on the other end fell silent.
Beatrice was waiting for an answer.
“I got it.” Jared’s voice came from the other end, then, Jared hung up.
The busy tone came from the other end of the call.
Nevertheless, Beatrice held her phone for a long time.
After every call with Jared, she would mull over it for a long while, recalling every word and tone of Jared’s.
Beatrice was truly disappointed, but it was all within her expectations.
She knew that Jared would definitely come tomorrow, because he wouldn’t miss anything related to Agnes.
However, Beatrice’s face gradually became cold.
How much longer would she have to endure, to wait?
Over the years, she watched Agnes‘ TV shows and movies over and over again.
Learning about Agnes‘ every move, every frown and smile.
Every detail, every small action, she would study carefully.
She was sick of those images.
But in the end, her efforts paid off to some extent.
Jared used to detest her.
But since she pretended to have amnesia, she would inadvertently reveal some of Agnes‘ old habits, and every time this happened, Jared’s gaze would fall on her.
The feeling of being watched by Jared was simply too good.
So she had plastic surgery again and again, trying to look as much like Agnes as possible.
However, no matter what, Agnes was gone.
Although Jared was still cold towards Beatrice, his attitude had changed.
Over the years, due to business reasons, they had more and more opportunities to interact.
Getting Jared was just a matter of time.
Compared to Valeria, Beatrice was more confident.
Because her weapon was Agnes, which was a sharp sword that directly hit Jared’s heart.
