The thought made Beatrice's blood boil. What's so good about Agnes? Jared is great in so many ways, but he just sucks at picking people. How could he fall for her?
Agnes was also seething with anger. Beatrice had always been obvious about her desire for Jared, completely disregarding Agnes.
She could tolerate her lust. She could even tolerate the occasional torment due to jealousy. But what Agnes couldn't stand was Beatrice showing up in the middle of the night to stir up trouble.
Jared, of course, wouldn't fall for Beatrice's cheap tricks. But if this goes on, Agnes wasn't so sure. After all, she knew that Jared still had some reservations about her past with Elton.
Agnes took a step forward and grabbed Beatrice's arm, "Beatrice, I'm warning you, stay away from my husband, stop causing trouble, or I will make you suffer."
But Beatrice wasn't afraid of her.
Agnes had always been a pushover. Despite now having Jared's support, Beatrice knew Agnes was too stupid to use her power to bully people, and even saw it as a disgrace. When something happened at home before, it was harder than climbing to heaven to ask for Jared's help. This old-fashioned and pedantic Agnes, saying she will make her suffer, was just talk.
Beatrice laughed, "Your husband, you say it so sweetly, who knows how long he'll be your husband? Agnes, if I were you, I would take the initiative to divorce, so you won't end up being thrown out at the end."
Agnes promptly slapped Beatrice.
Beatrice was stunned. This was the first time Agnes had ever hit her. After a moment of shock, a burning rage filled her. Who the hell did Agnes think she was, daring to hit her?
