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 becMrs. 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 tic
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

If you can take care of Winona for good, I'm willing to work with you.
She knew she was playing with fire, but she was sure of one thing: Keaton would never let her fall.
Her hand drifted to her stomach, her eyes calculating.

Tarquin had barely stepped inside when Elysia's voice rang out from upstairs. "Tarquin! Get up here, now!"

In the living room, Evan was playing with Baby and Lan, and looked up with a wicked grin.
"Dad, did you screw up? | think Mom's gonna kill you!"
Tarquin pressed his lips together. "You'd like that, huh? Your mom roughingup?"
Evan just snickered, his look saying, You brought this on yourself.
Tarquin sighed. His son had been a little salty with him lately. Last time, he'd given Evan a special visitor's badge
to the Air Force base, so now Evan kept pestering him to actually take him there. s
But Evan had school! Elysia never allowed the kids to skip without a real reason.
