Heartstrings On Fire

Chapter 399

Chapter 399

Beatrice was in a frenzy, even going so far as to break the bedside lamp. “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, clasping 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 from comfortable. Despite Preston’s efforts, his plan hadn’t come to fruition. He

seemed to be lost in a constant state of contemplation, sighing repeatedly.

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

father has become so strained. The warmth of family feels distant now.”

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

provide all the comfort and warmth you seek.”
