Chapter 354

Jared was nursing a headache, rubbing his temples. An uncanny feeling washed over him when Beatrice showed up

at the door, which just added to his irritation and intensified his headache.

Beatnce couldn’t gauge Jared’s reaction, but now that she’d said what she had, there was no backing out. She

stood up resolutely and started walking towards Jared

“Jared, ever since I found out that you were marrying Agnes, my heart shattered. You’m the best guy out there,

and I’ve always heard tales about you. Countless times, I’ve dreamed of falling for you, of being your wife When

Dad took me to Mr. Tim’s birthday party, I was over the moon. I thought I’d finally get to meet you” Jared remained

silent, just staring at the blurry figure in front of him.

He took a couple steps back, maintaining some distance.

Beatrice continued, “But then I found out that you were already mamed to Agnes. I was devastated, felt like my

world was crashing down. That’s when I realized that I had fallen head over heels for you”

“What’s your point in telling me all this?” Jared finally spoke, his voice laced with a chilly disdain.

Caught off guard by Jared’s chilly demeanor, Beatrice’s face momentarily stiffened. Despite this, she continued

feigning intoxication, her voice laden with emotion “I’m not trying to make a point. I just can’t keep my feelings

concealed any longer. I love you deeply, just as Agnes does. Can’t you recognize that? And let’s not forget. Agnes

had a significant relationship with Elton Taylor for a decade before you came into the picture. Even though he

betrayed her, they were inseparable since childhood. She dedicated her prime years to him, and she will always

remember him. So, what’s so special about her in your eyes?”

Mention of Elton cast a shadow over Jamd’s face, clearly a sore point for him.

Taking tentative steps closer to Jared, Beatrice’s eyes mirrored the vulnerability of her heart, shimmering with

unshed tears. “But I’m not like her. My love for you is genuine and pure. Even if you harbor feelings only for Agnes,

and even if you never reciprocate my feelings, I’m prepared to wait. However, I earnestly wish to address you by

your name, not as brother-in-law.”

As she reached out to hug Jared, he caught her arm.

He dragged her towards the bathroom. Beatrice was confused, but there was a tiny flicker of hope in her heart.

Jared pulled her into the shower, turned on the water, and shoved Beatrice under the cold spray

The cold water drenched Beatrice in an instant

Jared, what are you doing?” Beatrice couldn’t hold back any longer.

Her heartfelt confession was greeted with a cold shower?

Jared looked at Beatrice, “Are you sober now, Beatrice? I’m telling you for the last time, if you weren’t Agnes”

sister, I wouldn’t even bother with you.” Beatrice couldn’t play drunk anymore.

Seeing Jared’s icy expression, Beatrice knew her plan had failed:

Quickly, she pretended to be sober, “Ouch, why… why am I here? What did you just say?”

Then, holding her head, she said, “I only remember drinking a lot tonight, how did I end up here?
