Beatrice exclaimed excitedly, "Whatever you want, I can get it for you."
Agnes' request didn't seem difficult.
She asked for something from Laura.
It's not a difficult problem to solve, and Laura probably didn't care about whatever it is. Agnes said, "It's a $500,000 Swiss remittance, money my mom slaved for and your mom snatched it. I need it back now, but I can't directly ask Ms. Laura."
Beatrice responded arrogantly, "Just half a million dollars. My mom won't care."
Agnes replied, "You may not know the whole story. Regarding this remittance, Ms. Laura definitely won't give it to me. All the stuff that has happened between our parents, we youngsters might find it hard to fathom. However, I don't really need the money. I just want to keep it as a memento since my mom earned it with her sweat and blood."
Beatrice said, "I'll sneak it out for you, but you have to promise to give me the video once I hand you the remittance. That's it, no more debts between us."
Agnes chuckled, "You know me. Fair is fair, I don't scam anyone. But Beatrice, if you can't find the remittance or if Ms. Laura finds out and it causes me trouble, don't blame me if I make your life difficult. Remember, we still have some old scores to settle."
Hearing this, Beatrice's face turned gloomy.
Beatrice knew Agnes was referring to the incident four years ago when she hit her with her car.
That was a past Beatrice couldn't shake off.
Agnes didn't tell Jared right away, probably using it as leverage.
Beatrice gritted her teeth and said, "You can count on it. I'll find that remittance."
Beatrice stormed off, face twisted with fury.
Agnes felt drained, lying on her bed.
In reality, there was no camera in the room.
She just made that up to scare Beatrice.
Because Beatrice felt guilty, she admitted everything without seeing clearly.
Agnes thought it wasn't practical to find the remittance herself, it could stir up trouble.
But if Beatrice found it, it would be a different story.
