Chapter 399


    Beatrice was in a frenzy, even going so far as to break the bedsidemp. “1 just can’t bear it any


    longer. Why does Jared favor Agnes over me? I love him deeply. But what has he given me?


    Heartbreak. If I can’t be with him, then nobody can. I’ll make sure of it.”


    Laura calmly sat on the sofa, trying to reason with her “Who told you it’s impossible? You’re simply too


    impatient. Haven’t I told you repeatedly? A damaged reputation is only temporary. People will forget in


    time”


    Beatrice, hearing her mother’s words, rushed to her, sping her hand tightly. “Mom, is there still hope


    for me? Can I ever win Jared’s heart again? The disdain in his eyes is unbearable.”


    Laura gave her a helpless look, “I already told you but you didn’t listen. I told you the timing wasn’t right


    and asked you to be patient. But what did you do? You didn’t just do those things, you left so many


    traces. How did I end up with such a stupid daughter?”


    “Mom, I know I messed up. Help me, help me. I can’t let Agnes be so smug. If I can’t have Jared,


    ruining their marriage is also good. Seeing Agnes, I just want to tear her apart.”


    Laura reached out and touched Beatrice’s face, “Honey, just wait. The real drama is about to begin. I’ll


    help you get back at those who humiliated you today”


    “You always say that. But now Agnes knows about Alyssa Whitfield and her mother’s death, why is she


    still so close with Jared? Why are they still together? Why aren’t they divorced yet?”


    “Don’t worry, we still have a trump card”


    “What trump card?” Beatrice asked.


    Laura whispered something in her ear


    Beatrice looked shocked, saying. The Whitfield family has such an astonishing secret. If outsiders find


    out, the Whitfield family’s reputation will be ruined”


    Laura smiled, “Tim would never let that happen. It’s about the Whitfield family’s reputation for


    centuries.”


    Beatrice looked vicious, “Mom, this is a powerful trump card. If I reveal this…”


    Laura scolded, “I said you were stupid, and you really are getting stupider. We must hold on to this


    trump card and not reveal it easily. With this, what you want is


    within reach, isn’t it?”


    A light bulb seemed to go off in Agnes’ head.


    Yes, with such a trump card, even if she asks Jared to marry her, he would definitely agree, wouldn’t


    he?


    Beatrice seemed hopeful. Her mood improved instantly. She hugged Laura “Mom, you’re really


    amazing. How did you find out about this?”


    Laura said, “You don’t need to worry about that. I have my ways.”


    With fists clenched and a sly smile, Beatrice mused, “Tll revel in seeing Agnes fall. Once Jared is out of


    the picture for her, she’ll be powerless. I’m eager to see her try and push me around then. I’ll ensure


    she’s utterly defeated.”


    The dinner that evening was far fromfortable. Despite Preston’s efforts, his n hadn’te to


    fruition. He seemed to be lost in a constant state of contemtion, sighing repeatedly. Content ? copyrighted by N?velDrama.Org.


    On the drive home, a somber Agnes broke the silence. “I can’t pinpoint when it began, but


    Grasping her hand reassuringly, Jared responded, “Agnes, remember that you and I are a family. I’m


    here to provide all thefort and warmth you seek.”
