Chapter 512
Agnes froze on the spot.
It was because Reamey usually called her Septima, but today, he unexpectedly called her by her real name.
Agnes quickly replied. “Nothing much, I just mistook him for someone else Let’s go!
Kearney gave a light chuckle, his demeanor as elegant as ever.
His voice was incredibly soft, “Alright, let’s head out ”
Agnes and Kearney tumed around and left together
Having taken just a few steps, Agnes felt her knees give way.
Facing Jared mally took all the courage the had
from the moment the saw Jared, the felt like a tightly pulled string
With every step closer to him, the string was pulled even tighter.
Luckily, she used to be an actress four years ago.
This might have been her best performance yet
But when Jared coldly asked, “Who are you?”, Agnes admitted, she couldn’t keep up the act any longer.
No matter how good her acting skills were, they were nothing compared to Jared.
In this showdown, she gave it everything she had, only to be taken down by Jared’s brief words.
If it weren’t for Kearney’s timely appearance, Agnes didn’t think she could’ve kept acting.
After turning around, Agnes felt as if the tight string had finally snapped.
Her whole body was trembling.
Her hands and feet were cold and almost powerless.
She didn’t even have the strength to keep walking.
After a couple of steps, her legs wobbled, and she could only lean on her luggage cart
Kearney instantly noticed her condition.
After seeing that man, Agnes looked like she had lost her soul.
She noticed that her legs were trembling slightly, as if she couldn’t walk anymore.
Kearney stretched out his hand, wrapping his arm around Agnes’s and said, “Hang in there, he’s still watching you”
Keamey’s words reminded Agnes
Indeed, she had barely walked ten meters away
Jared was still watching her
Whether Jared had genuinely forgotten her, or was intentionally keeping his distance, Agnes couldn’t break down now, especially not in front of Jared
So. Agnes mustered all her strength and courage.
With Kearney’s help, the took one step after another.
She could feel Jared’s gaze on her, like a needle on her back.
From the moment he spotted Agnes.
Jared never took his eyes off her
When Agnes greeted him earlier, he coldly rejected her.
He wouldn’t accept her smile, her friendly gesture, or the level of acquaintance Agnes had set for their relationship
Could they be like friends, giving each other nods and smiles?
What was this woman trying to do?
Did she want to establish their relationship the moment they met?
No, he wouldn’t accept it, nevert
So he coldly said those words
