Chapter 353 

Beatrice was just hanging out and keeping her ears open 

She wasn’t in the scene tonight 

Yet, she decided to stick around on set all day, just to keep an eye on Agnes 

Today presented a golden opportunity 

After dinner, everyone swung into work mode 

Beatrice quietly slipped away 

She headed for the Celestial Skyline Hotel 

Before that, she had stopped by a convenience store and bought two bottles of beer and a bottle of hard liquor 

Outside the hotel, the quickly chugged down the two beers, then splashed the liquor on her clothes. 

She had no intention of drinking the hard stuff, she needed to stay sober, to remember everything that would happen tonight Thinking about this. Beatrice trembled slightly with excitement 

Then, she walked into the Celestial Skyline Hotel, took the elevator straight up to the top floor, to the presidential suite 

The hallway was very quiet. 

Beatrice stumbled along the plush carpet. 

When she reached the door, Beatnce knocked hard 

After a moment, the door was opened. 

Beatrice felt a surge of joy inside her Jared was the one who opened the door 

Jared had obviously just taken a shower 

He was wearing a blue plaid pajama set 

Jared was always Jared, even in pajamas, he looked good. 

But Beatrice couldn’t look at him straight. 

Beatrice pretended to be drunk and slumed, “Jared” 

Jared frowned, “What are you doing here?” 

“Jared. I’ve had a lot to drink, I’ve got something to tell you.” 

Beatrice leaned against the door frame, looking like she could pass out at any moment. 

Jared’s voice was cold, “Wait till you’re sober” 

He was just about to close the door 

But Beatrice stepped forward to block the door, “Don’t close the door, I have something to tell you, but I’m afraid I won’t have the courage to say it when I’m sober, 1 have to say it tonight” 

With Beatrice blocking the door, Jared couldn’t close it 

Jared simply opened the door and walked back into the room 

He sat down on the sofa, his voice flat, “What do you want to tell me?” 

Beatrice felt a bit nervous 

The man in front of her was very intimidating, always giving off a superior vibe. 

But he was nothing like this in front of Agnes 

Fortunately, Beatrice had the excuse of being “drunk”. 

Beatrice stumbled into the room. 

A faint smile graced Beatrice’s lips as she whispered, “Jared, could you get me some water? I’m parched.” 

Jared’s face creased into a frown, but he still rose to fetch her a glass of water, setting it down on the table with a hasty gesture devoid of warmth. 

His brusqueness left Beatrice slightly disheartened, though he had still done as she’d asked. 

As Jared made his way back, he found Beatnce occupying his spot on the sofa, drifting between wakefulness and slumber, reminiscent of a drowsy feline On hoticing his return, she perked up, beaming at him, “Thank you” 

Jared responded by folding his arms, his eyebrows knitted together, looking distinctly displeased 

“What do you really want to tell me?” 

“Jared… could you be a little nicer to me? You’re always so cold towards me” 

Beatrices tone was a bit coquettish. 

However, Jared’s frown deepened 

Beatrice got straight to the point, “Actually, I don’t want you to be my brother-in-law at all, I want to be close to you like Agnes is, more affectionately. Do you know every time I think you are my brother-in-law, it’s like my heart is being cut with a knife.
