Chapter 393


    Agnes ain’t no fool


    Laura always ys 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 wouldn’t 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 intoughter


    She elegantly fixed her hair, saying “Agnes, you’re much smarter than your mom.”


    Laura stood up, walked over to Agnes: “Yes, 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 Alyssa’s brother”


    “What’s your goal?”


    “My 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 couldn’t 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 she’s ruined everything. I know, now there’s 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 won’t cause


    you any more trouble in the future. As for your marriage with Jared, it’s 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 mother’s case, you can


    continue being Mrs. Whitfield, as if we never had this conversation today”


    Agnes smirked. If Beatrice was half as cunning as you, she wouldn’t be behind bars now. Ms. Laura,


    does my father know what a maniptive person you are?”


    Laura beamed, “Your father is a clueless guy. In his eyes, I might be the most innocent person in the


    world.”


    Agnes chuckled, “TII 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.”


    “Agnes, even though you’re not my daughter, I kind of like you.”


    Agnes didn’t want to y along with her anymore.


    She turned around and left the study


    Over there, Jared and Preston were having a chat on the balcony.”


    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 couldn’t 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 thest thing she wanted was for the Whitfield family to be the protective umbre of the


    Pritchard family


    But he made the decision behind her back without discussing it with her.


    Perhaps in others’ 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….
