Heartstrings on Fire Chapter 337

Chapter 337 

The Pritchard family’s 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. “Agnes, you’re back! Come in quick, it’s freezing out here.” 

Agnes only thought Beatrice’s 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 wouldn’t go this far 

Today, she wasn’t 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 

“Agnes, why aren’t you moving? Mom’s already made dinner. If you don’t hurry up and eat, it’ll get cold. Come on, she cooked all your favorite dishes.” 

To someone who didn’t know them well, they might like the sisters were really close 

“Beatrice, stop pretending. What’s going on with you?” 

But Beatrice laughed and said, “What’s wrong? It’s nothing. I just feel like I’ve 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?” 

Beatrice’s expression seemed sincere 

But Agnes wouldn’t have fallen for it if she hadn’t known the real Beatrice. 

Agnes pulled her arm out of Beatrice’s grip, “Beatrice, stop it. I think our old way of getting along was just fine. You’re acting like you’re plotting something. If you have something to say, just say it. You’re making me uncomfortable.” 

Beatrice’s face seemed to change for a moment. 

Then her smile widened, and she even began to flirt, “Agnes, you’re really breaking my heart. I really do want to make up with you. We’re both dad’s daughters, and we share some of the same genes, I’m your family, right?” 

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 – Beatrice. 

Although Agnes couldn’t accept her father’s new marriage, she had no ill feelings towards Beatrice, after all, she was also dad’s 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 didn’t want to argue with her. 

She simply said, “I’d be grateful if you could stop being so confrontational all the time” 

After that, she continued upstairs. 

Beatrice chased after her, “Agnes, I promise I won’t be confrontational anymore. I’ll listen to you from now on, okay?” 

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. 

“Agnes, Jared, welcome back! Come on in, dinner’s all set.” 

Preston was also in the kitchen.
