Chapter 28
Beatrice said angrily, “Agnes, what gives you the right to look down on me?”
As soon as Beatrice finished speaking, she was about to hit Agnes. She had been in a foul mood all evening, and Agnes just added fuel to the fire.
Agnes blocked Beatrice’s move out of habit, “Beatrice, stop always trying to hit people. Do you think you can beat me?”
Beatrice was shaking with anger, “Agnes, you… you’re just insufferable…”
“Ms. Pritchard, so you’re here.” A deep and clear voice came from behind them.
Agnes and Beatrice turned around at the same time, and Jared stood, less than two meters away on the terrace.
When did Jared come over?
Realizing this, Beatrice quickly withdrew her hand and said in a delicate voice, “Sis, what are you doing? You’re hurting my hand.”
Agnes was speechless.
But Jared was slowly walking over, his eyes fixed on Beatrice.
Beatrice’s heart was racing. The man in front of her was every woman’s dream. His gaze made her deeply attracted to him. He was so noble and superior as if he was born to be admired.
“Mr. Whitfield…” Beatrice began, her cheeks flushing.
She was surprised that Jared knew her and came to find her. She couldn’t control her joy
Jared had already walked up to them, a faint smile on his lips, still looking at Beatrice, “Ms. Pritchard, you’re really eye–catching today. May I have the pleasure of dancing with you?”
Beatrice was overwhelmed with joy. Jared was actually inviting her to dance. What did this mean?
There had been rumours that Tim’s birthday party was actually Jared’s matchmaking party. If Jared liked any girl, he would invite her to dance the opening dance to
announce…
Now that Jared was inviting her to dance, did it mean she was the one chosen by Jared?
Beatrice was over the moon, quickly extended her hand, and said eagerly, “I’d love to.”
Jared’s hips curved up slightly, but he suddenly turned around in the next second, took Agnes’s hand directly, and even kissed it gently, “Ms. Pritchard, please.” Agnes was also stunned because even she thought that Jared was speaking to Beatrice. After all, he looked at Beatrice all the time and didn’t even glance at her. But the plot took a sudden turn, and Agnes couldn’t react for a while. She could only let Jared lead her away from the terrace…
It took Beatrice more than ten seconds to realize what had happened. She clenched her fists and bit her lips until they bled. A sense of deep humiliation swept over her. Jared had chosen Agnes! Had Jared deliberately misled her and then humiliated her just now?
Maybe he had heard their conversation just now, which had greatly reduced his liking for her.
Her lips were filled with the taste of blood. Beatrice was furious. All this was because of Agnes. Agnes was always submissive, but she had just angered her.
Perhaps Agnes had seen Jared coming and had deliberately acted like this. She didn’t expect Agnes to be so cunning, and she didn’t expect to have helped her! Thinking of this, Beatrice was both angry and resentful. She just wanted to rip Agnes to pieces!
