Chapter 148
When it came to Agnes‘ biological mom, Beatrice suddenly turned all serious.
She knew that Agnes‘ real mom and her own mother were both big shot actresses in the entertainment
industry back in the day.
Later, Preston married Julia, but at the same time, he didn’t cut ties with Laura
Two years after Agnes was born, Beatrice came into the world.
But Laura bit her tongue for ten years, only going public with Preston after Julia passed away.
Beatrice blurted out, “But I can’t wait for ten years.”
Laura reassured her, “Don’t sweat it. I won’t let you walk in my shoes. Within a year, Agnes will
definitely divorce Jared. And you’ll be the one sitting in that spor.”
Beatrice was over the moon, “Mom, do you have a plan?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtLaura replied, “That’s not your concern. Your job now is to doll up and make a good impression on the
Whitfield family elders today”
Beatrice perked up immediately and started prepping.
Preston was in high spirits on the way, “Who would’ve thought Agnes would marry Mr. Whitfield? That’s
a surprise. But, she’s my girl all right; she sure knows how to pick them.”
Laura retorted flatly. “Sure, she’s your daughter. Been married for four months and didn’t tell us. Who
knows how long she would’ve kept it hush–hush if it wasn’t for the media. She doesn’t consider me
family, that’s fine. But now, she doesn’t even care about you, her own father”
Preston’s face fell a bit.
He truly couldn’t comprehend why Agnes had kept her marriage a secret.
But he still said, “Maybe she had her reasons.”
Laura responded, “She just dislikes me, her stepmother. Tell me, what have I done to upset her in
these past ten years? I know she blames me for her mother’s suicide and takes it all out on me. But
she doesn’t understand that her mother brought it upon herself…”
“Enough, let’s not bring up the past,” Preston cut her off.
His face changed instantly when his late wife was mentioned.
Preston said, “Agnes still doesn’t know her mother committed suicide, so never bring this up in front of
her.”
Seeing Preston genuinely angry, Laura shut her mouth, finally whispering, “I would never say such
things in front of the child. I’m truly happy for Agnes marrying into the Whitfield family, it just hurt me
that she kept her wedding a secret. But as long as you two are on good terms, I don’t care if she
misunderstands me for the rest of her life.”
Preston comforted her, “You’ve put up with a lot over the years”
Jared’s car arrived at the Whitfield family mansion just before Preston’s.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe butler opened the door, and the maid prepared their shoes.
As soon as they stepped in, a golden retriever rushed over.
Agnes was startled, Jared immediately commanded, “Oscar, sit.”
The golden retriever obediently sat down.
Agnes recognized this dog. At Grandpa’s birthday party before, she and Jenny sneaked over the wall
and were caught because this dog pounced on them.
The golden retriever wagged its tail excitedly at Agnes.
Jared said, “Oscar seems to like you a lot.”
Agnes reached out to pet Oscar’s head, and Oscar immediately rolled on the floor.
The butler urged. “Please come in, Tim Whitfield is waiting for you in the study.”
Hearing this, Agnes immediately got nervous again.
