Chapter 142 I’m Sorry, Agnes
Agnes shook her head slightly and said, “No need. I’ll take care of it myself.”
A heavy, suffocating feeling pressed down in Agnes’s chest. The cold pain satik deep into her bones and spread through her entire body.
She asked Rebecca to meet her at the small diner they used to visit often.
Rebecca arrived in the Nolans’ luxury car. The Nolans had arranged a personal driver, bodyguards, and a full team of servants for her.
After stepping out of the car, she stood at the entrance of the diner, lightly touching the tip of her nose as a trace of disdain flickered across her eyes.
This was the place Agnes used to bring her when they had first met. It was small, but the food had always been good.
Now, with the title of Nolans’ future daughter-in-law, she ate high-end cuisine, wore designer brands, and lived in a luxury villa.
Naturally, a shabby roadside diner like this no longer suited her standards. She considered it beneath her.
Agnes had arrived ahead of time and was already seated by the window, quietly observing Rebecca’s every
movement.
Rebecca pushed the door open. The moment she saw Agnes waving at her, she immediately put on a cheerful smile and walked over.
Rebecca walked up to the table and asked, “Agnes, why did you pick this place?”
Agnes glanced around the diner and said, “I think it’s warm and comfortable here. We used to come all the time, didn’t we?”
Rebecca let out a small laugh and said, “Oh, come on. Back then, we were both broke and struggling. We had no money, so of course we came to places like this.
“Now that life is better, no one would still come here to eat.”
Agnes listened, her thoughts unreadable.
She gave a small smile and said, “It’s nice to come back once in a while and remember the past. I ordered everything we used to get. If you feel like eating, go ahead. If not, just sit with me, okay?”
Rebecca nodded with a smile and said, “If you like it, Agnes, then of course I’ll cat with you’
They talked and laughed for a while. Soon, the server brought their food. They were the only customers in the diner today, with no one else around.
Agnes ate quite a lot. Rebecca held her fork and poked at the food without really eating. She kept bragging about how pampered and treasured she was in the Nolans.

Chapter 142 fm Sorry Agnes
Agnes listened in silence and ate quietly.
Finished
She wiped her mouth, cut Rebecca off mid-sentence, and said, “Rebecca, you hardly touched your food today. Is something wrong? Does the food not suit your taste?”
Rebecca forced a smile and replied, “No, not at all. I am eating. Heh heh
Agnes looked at her and said, “You’ve gotten used to expensive meals, so this doesn’t appeal to you anymore, right?”
Rebecca waved her hand lightly and said, “Oh, Agnes, don’t joke like that. I’m pregnant, remember? The baby is super picky, hehe.”
Agnes said calmly, “That’s normal. Once people start living comfortably, it’s easy to forget what it was like to struggle just to get by.”
Rebecca’s smile stiffened. She hurried to explain, “Agnes, that’s not what I meant. I really am pregnant. My appetite just hasn’t been great.”
Agnes didn’t respond. Instead, she looked at her and said, “Rebecca, I’ve been going through the finances for Tidewhisper Lily over the past two days.
‘I noticed a large overseas transfer in my account, but there was no note explaining it. Can you tell me what it was for?”
Rebecca froze. Her face showed clear panic as she stammered,
‘Uh… that was… we were preparing to purchase some materials, and I forgot to inform you. Agnes, you just came back, and I was so happy.
‘I was going to wait until you’d recovered before going over the recent finances with you.”
Agnes raised her eyes slightly and said, “Is that so? But the IP record for that transaction shows the money was sent to Velmara.”
Rebecca blinked and said, “Velmara? Uh… I remember now. was the deposit for a custom pigeon blood ruby ring!”

Agnes looked at her steadily and said, “Rebecca, the amount transferred had several extra zeroes compared to the deposit we agreed on. I remember that clearly.”
Rebecca’s body trembled slightly. She clenched her hands, trying to keep herself composed.
She had indeed transferred money out of Agnes’s account without permission. What she never expected was that Agnes would return alive.
Rebecca forced herself to calm down. Looking at Agnes’s gentle and composed expression, she tried to talk her way out of it.
She forced a weak smile and said, “No way, Agnes. Could I have entered it wrong by accident? I… I shouldn’t have made such a big mistake.
“But maybe it’s possible. Ever since I got pregnant, my mind has been foggy for no reason. Maybe I really
