Love After Leaving: No Regret (Agnes and Raymond) novel Chapter 297

Agnes stepped forward and said coldly, "Then listen carefully. I am Agnes."

"What?"

The middle-aged man and woman froze. So, the woman in front of them was the vicious Agnes they were talking about.

"I'll kill you, you murderer!"

The woman's face turned red as she screamed and rushed at Agnes.

Agnes tightened her grip on the broom, ready to swing...

But before she could move, the woman let out a scream and was suddenly knocked to the side.

Everyone was stunned. Agnes turned her head and saw Carmen standing there, her fist still raised.

"Carmen..."

Carmen quickly asked with concern, "Agnes, are you okay? What's going on? Are these people here to cause trouble for you?"

Before Agnes could answer, the middle-aged man snapped out of it. He clenched his fist and charged at Carmen.

Whoosh! He was sent flying too, landing right beside the woman.

Carmen's speed and strength were no weaker than a man's. Even Agnes was stunned.

Carmen smiled at the group and called out, "Come on! Anyone else not happy? Step right up! Ever since I won that boxing title, I haven't had a chance to practice. Today feels like a good day. Haha, come on, all of you!"

The group had been about to rush forward, but after hearing that, they froze in fear, not daring to move.

Just then, building security arrived with the police and took all the troublemakers away.

Carmen dusted off her clothes and looked at Agnes, who was still in shock. She smiled and said, "Agnes, what's wrong? Are you mesmerized by me?"

Agnes gave her a thumbs-up. "You're a real hero. I'm seriously impressed."

Carmen laughed a little shyly. "Haha, I used to just train for fun, but somehow I got pretty good at it. Actually, I came to hang out with you today. What's going on here?"

Agnes's face turned serious. She lowered her voice. "I've gotten mixed up with something dirty."

Carmen frowned. "What do you mean?"

Agnes didn't explain. She simply took Carmen downstairs to a restaurant.

After eating, Agnes returned to the Newton Estate.

What happened at the studio that day left her distracted. She didn't notice someone standing in front of her and walked straight into him.

"Oh..."

"What are you thinking about? You're not even watching where you're going."

Raymond's deep voice came from above her.

Agnes paused. Of course, he already knew something.

Agnes was speechless, but she felt a little touched.

She smiled, said good night, and went back to her room, leaving Raymond standing there, grinning like a fool.

The next morning, before Agnes even woke up fully, she got a call from Rita at the studio.

"Hello, Agnes, are you still asleep? Have you checked your phone?"

Agnes spoke lazily, eyes still closed. "What is it?"

Rita's voice was urgent. "Oh my God! You're still sleeping? There are tons of news stories about you online right now! You need to get up and check. This is serious!"

Agnes's sleepiness faded instantly. She had a bad feeling.

She hung up and opened her phone.

Every major platform was flooded with news about her. There were trending posts and videos everywhere.
