Heartstrings On Fire

Chapter 537

After Laura left, Beatrice went to the bedside and made a call.

“Hey, Jared, it’s Beatrice.”

A cold and clear voice came from the other end of the phone, “I know, what’s up?”

Hearing his indifferent tone, Beatrice felt a pang of disappointment.

But she still said gently, “Jared, tomorrow is my birthday, I’m having a party. Can you make it? It’s at The Capital Hotel’s banquet hall.”

Jared’s tone was as cold as before, Sorry, I’m busy.”

Beatrice knew Jared was about to hang up.

Before Jared could end the call, Beatrice quickly said, “Wait, I have something else to say.”

“What is it?”

“Tomorrow’s birthday party will be in the form of a charity auction. The items for auction are some antiques and jewelry from my collection. There’s a bracelet that I brought from the safe in my old house. My mom told me it was something my sister always wore, from birth until she was ten…”

Beatrice stopped talking, Jared on the other end fell silent.

Beatrice was waiting for an answer.
