Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem

Chapter 1391

Aside from Sophus, who only regretted the broken engagement because of the family business, everyone else was just there for the show.

Honestly, they were thrilled things had fallen apart. It meant they could keep picking on Beatrix without her getting any fancy new title.

It was like throwing a punch at a pillow-no resistance, just more frustration.

But what could they do? Beatrix never complained, never argued, didn't even look angry. She just sat there, calm and silent, refusing to take the bait.
