Chapter 337 The Pritchard familyâs mansion was just around the corner, and Beatrice was waiting at the front door.
As soon as she saw the two of them get out of the car, she greeted them warmly. âAgnes, youâre back! Come in quick, itâs freezing out here.â
Agnes only thought Beatriceâs behavior was unusual.
Because when they walked in, Beatrice actually had slippers ready for her.
Beatrice had never done such a thing before.
Even if she wanted to show off in front of Jared, she wouldnât go this far Today, she wasnât sticking to Jared like a candy wrapper like she used to.
Instead, it seemed like she had switched targets and was trying to please Agnes at every turn. Agnes was feeling a bit uneasy..
When they were climbing the stairs, Jared was leading the way, and Beatrice was walking behind, arm in arm with Agnes.
Agnes deliberately slowed her pace.
Once Jared was upstairs, Agnes stopped in her tracks and refused to move âAgnes, why arenât you moving? Momâs already made dinner. If you donât hurry up and eat, itâll get cold. Come on, she cooked all your favorite dishes.â
To someone who didnât know them well, they might like the sisters were really close âBeatrice, stop pretending. Whatâs going on with you?â
But Beatrice laughed and said, âWhatâs wrong? Itâs nothing. I just feel like Iâve been so stupid. Dad told me about the money you gave him to save the company. Agnes, I really admire you. I was wrong to fight with you all the time: Can you forgive me? Can we make up and forget the past, be good sisters?â
Beatriceâs expression seemed sincere But Agnes wouldnât have fallen for it if she hadnât known the real Beatrice.
Agnes pulled her arm out of Beatriceâs grip, âBeatrice, stop it. I think our old way of getting along was just fine. Youâre acting like youâre plotting something. If you have something to say, just say it. Youâre making me uncomfortable.â
Beatriceâs face seemed to change for a moment.
Then her smile widened, and she even began to flirt, âAgnes, youâre really breaking my heart. I really do want to make up with you. Weâre both dadâs daughters, and we share some of the same genes, Iâm your family, right?â
Hearing this, Agnes felt a pang in her heart.
As a child, Agnes had imagined having a sister or brother.
Then her dad remarried and brought home a sister â Beatrice.
Although Agnes couldnât accept her fatherâs new marriage, she had no ill feelings towards Beatrice, after all, she was also dadâs child.
Over the years, Beatrice had always been aggressive and confrontational, even going out of her way to humiliate others.
Most of the time, Agnes chose to bear it.
She thought, no matter how despicable the person in front of her was, she was still her family.
But over these years of interaction, Agnes had never thought of making up with Beatrice.
This was making her very uncomfortable.
And there was definitely a reason for Beatrice acting like this.
If she was sincere, that would be weird.
Still, Agnes didnât want to argue with her.
She simply said, âIâd be grateful if you could stop being so confrontational all the timeâ
After that, she continued upstairs.
Beatrice chased after her, âAgnes, I promise I wonât be confrontational anymore. Iâll listen to you from now on, okay?â
Agnes looked at Beatrice, her brow furrowing even more.
What was up with her?
As soon as they set foot in the dining room, Laura greeted them warmly.
âAgnes, Jared, welcome back! Come on in, dinnerâs all set.â
Preston was also in the kitchen.
