Chapter 253
Agnes wasn’t daydreaming.
She’s been listening to their conversation all this time.
In their chat, Jared never considered another possibility.
That Mamie might be setting her up.
Jared said he’d get to the bottom of it and give Mamie an explanation.
Why the hell does he owe Mamie an explanation?
Agnes is the one being victimized here.
It’s most likely that Mamie set her up, so why is he still explaining things to her?
Jared insisted that he trusts Agnes’s integrity, but his only evidence in her favor is that “Agnes isn’t
capable of pulling something like this off.”
He bought that necklace and kept it secret, which means he’s still having doubts.
He’s doubting if she really did steal, if she tainted the Whitfield family’s reputation, and if she set up
Mamie.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtOtherwise, he could’ve just launched a thorough investigation and made the results public.
Because he doesn’t fully trust Agnes, he’d rather shell out 20 million bucks to keep the peace!
Should Agnes feel happy or sad about Jared’s willingness to foot the bill for her without hesitation?
Agnes’s mood was sinking, feeling like a wave of sadness was washing over her.
Agnes stood there for a while.
Soon after, her phone rang.
It was Jared calling.
Agnes suddenly didn’t want to pick up.
Because Agnes didn’t know what to say.
Should she confront him?
Agnes suddenly felt a little scared.
Before, Jared had always protected her in front of Mamie
But then, Mamie was just being a brat, obviously bullying her
Jared was like a hero defending the weak
But that didn’t involve the fundamental trust.
Now, Agnes was having doubts.
If he had to choose between Mamie and her, who would Jared choose?
Would he choose to trust Mamie without hesitation?
Actually, she already saw Jared’s answer just now
All this time, Agnes overlooked that Jared and Mamie have been best buds since they were kids.
Even if they don’t have romantic feelings anymore, the understanding and trust between them still
exists.
Maybe, is Mamie using this?
The phone rang again, Agnes hesitated whether to answer it or not.
But the phone screen suddenly went black.
The phone ran out of juice
Agnes finally breathed a sigh of relief.
This spared her from making a decision.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWhen Agnes returned to the parking lot, Jared’s car was already gone.
It was late into the night, and Agnes had no idea what time it was
Dressed in her formal attire, Agnes aimlessly wandered the streets.
Thankfully it was late at night and the streets were deserted.
Otherwise, she would’ve drawn a lot of weird looks
Agnes didn’t know how long she walked, finally she sat down at the edge of a flower bed
Agnes felt lost, unable to describe her feelings
“You’re really gutsy, walking around at night with such an expensive necklace on.”
Suddenly, a male voice floated down from above.
Agnes looked up and saw it was Ivan.
Agnes was a bit surprised: “What are you doing here?”
Agnes looked around and realized she had unwittingly walked to the Century Building
Agnes forced a smile: “What a coincidence.”
Ivan’s voice was gentle and inviting: “Get in the car, I’ll drive you home.”
