Earlier today, when I was re-reading the previous page, it struck me how outright detestable Beate is. Confronted by a realization that she fell short of Lottie’s detective ability, instead of applying herself to improving herself where she could, she simply decides to get rid of her rival via criminal means. Never mind the narcissism that presumed that Beate would be top-of-mind to Lottie, when she had really not given Lottie any reason to think of her at all. And the fact that she’s now about to push the others in anyways tells me what good her promise of a deal was going to be.

Beate is a nastly little squat who I hope catches one of Sandra’s arrows from ear-to-ear.
