Agnes couldnât hold back the tears, but she raised her head and tried not to cry.
She had been 100 naive, thinking that someone like Jared would actually apologize He had always been a man of divine nobility, so why would he ever admit his mistakes?
In his eyes, she was intentionally getting close to Ryder.
And now, he had stopped the car to talk to her, but only because he didnât want to make a scene.
She had actually expected him to apologize, and that made him angry enough to leave Agnes stared into the darkness, suddenly feeling a sense of confusion With no money and nowhere to go, she could only return home in the end.
When Agnes arrived at the Pritchard family mansion, it was already late at night.
Everyone was asleep, so Agnes took out her keys to open the door. However, it wouldnât budge.
Eventually, even the alarm went off, waking up Preston and Laura.
It was already midnight by then.
Preston went downstairs to investigate and was surprised to see Agnes standing at the door. âAgnes, what are you doing here?â
4 Beatrice also came down, still groggy and unaware of what was happening. As soon as she saw Agnes, she immediately snapped awake. âI thought we had a burglar in the house. Turns out itâs just you.â
Beatrice emphasized the word âburglarâ with particular emphasis Laura, wearing silk pajamas, also came over. âI changed the locks. We had a break-in before, and I lost a lot of my jewelry. So I changed the locks Agnes, youâve been away for so long that my new key canât be given to youâ
Lauraâs tone was gentle, even carrying a hint of intimacy, but Agnes never felt it was genuine.
When she arrived just now, she found that the main gate of the mansion wasnât ever locked.
If the house had really been burglarized, how could they be so careless?
However, Agnes understood in her heart, even though she would never expose her Agnes simply replied, âWell then, Ms. Laura, just give me the new key tomorrow.â
Lauraâs expression subtly changed, but her smile remained. âBut Agnes, why did you come back so late, and alone? Jared, really, letting a young girl like: outside so late. Itâs really worrisome.â
Upon hearing Lauraâs words, Preston grew suspicious âAgnes, whatâs going on? Are you having a disagreement with Jared?â
you walk Agnes said, âHeâs on a business trip in Japan right now. I just lost the key to Maplewood Manor, so I came back to stay for a few days. Youâre probably overthinking things.â
Laura smiled and said, âIf you havenât had a disagreement, then thatâs great Your father and I only hope for a happy married life for youâ
Preston also breathed a sigh of relief. âAgnes, itâs late. You should go to bed too.â
Agnes nodded and went back to her room.
