Agnes laughed radiantly, “Mr. Whitfield, did you work hard trying to dig up dirt on Bro Kear?”
Jared frowned. “Bro Kear?”
She even called him by such an intimate way.

“He’s not my boyfriend, so you don’t need to investigate him. But I bet you can’t find anything, so don’t waste your energy.”
Upon hearing this, Jared felt like a weight had been lifted off his chest.
Last time at the hotel, Agnes said she had a boyfriend, which had been a thorn in his side, keeping him up at night.
Now that Agnes confirmed it herself, Jared felt like that thorn was finally removed.
He also realized that Agnes might have been just trying to provoke him.
He didn’t believe that the past he couldn’t forget for so many years, could be easily let go by Agnes.
Jared’s face eased up a bit.
Agnes continued, “My boyfriend is still in Manhattan. just came back to handle some things and won’t be staying long, so he didn’t come back with me.” Jared’s relaxed face tightened up again in an instant.
His lips pressed tight.
But Agnes seemed nonchalant, “We’re getting married soon. I’d love to invite you, but it seems you’re getting married too, so you might not have the time.”
Jared’s face turned even darker.
She was getting married?
Strangely enough, seeing Jared’s face, Agnes felt much better.
She didn’t want to delve into why she made up these lies, but she felt relieved.
Throughout the years, the only thing she learned was to love herself more.
If someone helps you, you should repay them doubly.
If someone hurts you, you should fight back.
We’re all living in this world for the first time, so why strive for perfection?
Jared ruined her day today, so she just wanted to upset him.
In the middle of their standoff, Laura walked over, “Agnes, come home with me tonight, Mr. Whitfield, you can rest assured.
Laura must have overheard their conversation.
