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.

God forbid Beatrix actually became Mrs. Huber-then she'd be the one lording it over them!

Beatrix just sat quietly, brows knit, not saying a word. She ignored Sophus's thunderous anger, Sophie's dramatic eye rolls, and her older sisters' icy remarks.

The Sutton family raged and sniped for ages, but Beatrix stayed silent.

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.

Finally, Sophus snapped, "Go to your room and think things over. Try harder-see if you can still win Mr. Huber's heart!"

Beatrix nodded, stood up, and calmly said goodbye to Sophus and Sophie before heading upstairs.

She was halfway down the hall when she heard her sister sneer, "She really thought she could crawl into his bed and move up in the world. Looks all sweet, but she's a real piece of work-just like her mother!"

"And the best part? She gave it all up and he still dumped her. What a joke!"
