Chapter 393
Agnes ain’t 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 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 into laughter
She elegantly fixed her hair, saying “Agnes, you’re much smarter than your mom.”

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 manipulative 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 play 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
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe 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 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 others’ eyes, Agnes should be grateful.

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…
