Heartstrings on Fire (Agnes and Jared) novel Chapter 659

In a loud voice, Beatrice exclaimed, "Dad, have you lost your mind? You're going to kill mom!"

Beatrice had been part of the Thomas clan for many years, and had long since started calling Berlin dad.

Berlin had always been decent to his stepdaughter Beatrice.

After all, his biological daughter Valeria never treated him with much respect.

Beatrice, on the other hand, always managed to flatter him and keep him in good spirits.

But that was mostly for the sake of her mom, Laura.

Berlin scoffed, "Don't call me your dad. I'm not your father. You're just like your mother - deceitful and malicious. You even have the audacity to try and steal Valeria's fiancé. You're delusional."

Beatrice was taken aback and upset by his sudden outburst.

But with Cilian Thomas not at home, Berlin was in charge and she didn't dare to retaliate.

Beatrice helped Laura up, "Mom, what on earth happened?"

Laura, clutching her throat, tried to defend herself, "Berlin, don't let others manipulate you. I didn't do the things they're accusing me of. Someone is trying to set me up."

Berlin dismissed her with a cold laugh, "I know exactly who you are. I thought that by giving you a title, and all the wealth and luxury you could want, you would settle down. But it seems your ambitions are larger than I thought, you actually dare to harm me."

"I didn't, I really didn't," Laura protested.

But Berlin was not in the mood to listen.

He made a phone call and soon a few security guards arrived.

Berlin ordered, "Keep an eye on Laura and Beatrice. They're not to leave their rooms."

The housemaid trembled in fear, confused about what was happening.

Berlin asked, "Where's Hammer?"
