Chapter 393 Agnes ainât no fool Laura always plays the card of doing it for her own good.
But she spilled the beans without missing a beat.
Agnes had no idea how much of it was overblown.
But Agnes knew, a lot of it was Laura deliberately leading Beatrice on She wouldnât miss such a golden opportunity, would she?
Even though Agnes knew it was a trap, she had no choice but to jump in.
Laura suddenly burst into laughter She elegantly fixed her hair, saying âAgnes, youâre much smarter than your mom.â
Laura stood up, walked over to Agnes: âYes, I made Beatrice deliver the message so that I could secretly dig into the past and confirm with Alyssa. But the truth remains, she killed your mother, and you married Alyssaâs brotherâ
âWhatâs your goal?â
âMy goal is simple, you should know it. Beatrice has a thing for Jared, but you got hitched with him. My silly daughter, I told her repeatedly to cool her jets, but she couldnât resist making a move on you. Now look where it got her. We could have waited patiently for you to uncover the truth and cut ties with the Whitfield family But she was too impatient. Now sheâs ruined everything. I know, now thereâs hardly a chance for Beatrice to marry Jared. I have no other expectations. If you want to hold a grudge, hold it against me for being too scheming. Just let Beatrice off the hook this time, I promise she wonât cause you any more trouble in the future. As for your marriage with Jared, itâs up to you to weigh up. If you think the past is the past and it makes no sense to dig up your long-dead motherâs case, you can continue being Mrs. Whitfield, as if we never had this conversation todayâ
Agnes smirked. If Beatrice was half as cunning as you, she wouldnât be behind bars now. Ms. Laura, does my father know what a manipulative person you are?â
Laura beamed, âYour father is a clueless guy. In his eyes, I might be the most innocent person in the world.â
Agnes chuckled, âTII drop the charges this time. Please discipline your daughter better, Ms. Laura. At least make her as cunning as you before she goes wreaks havoc.â
âAgnes, even though youâre not my daughter, I kind of like you.â
Agnes didnât want to play along with her anymore.
She turned around and left the study Over there, Jared and Preston were having a chat on the balcony.â
Agnes was in a whirl of emotions The man over there, her own father, was reluctant to uncover the truth about her mother for financial reasons.
Agnes had never despised Preston so much.
She even doubted if he ever loved her mother.
She could forgive him for letting her down in love.
But what Agnes couldnât tolerate was his submission to the person who once killed her mother because of two million.
Jared had never been honest with her.
He knew the last thing she wanted was for the Whitfield family to become the protective umbrella of the Pritchard family But he made the decision behind her back without discussing it with her.
Perhaps in othersâ eyes, Agnes should be grateful.
out and But maybe because of Alyssa, that two million felt like a venomous snake lurking in her heart, its scarlet tongue sticking out, ready to strike at any moment....
