Chapter 253 Agnes wasnât daydreaming.
Sheâs been listening to their conversation all this time.
In their chat, Jared never considered another possibility.
That Mamie might be setting her up.
Jared said heâd get to the bottom of it and give Mamie an explanation.
Why the hell does he owe Mamie an explanation?
Agnes is the one being victimized here.
Itâs most likely that Mamie set her up, so why is he still explaining things to her?
Jared insisted that he trusts Agnesâs integrity, but his only evidence in her favor is that âAgnes isnât capable of pulling something like this off.â
He bought that necklace and kept it secret, which means heâs still having doubts.
Heâs doubting if she really did steal, if she tainted the Whitfield familyâs reputation, and if she set up Mamie.
Otherwise, he couldâve just launched a thorough investigation and made the results public.
Because he doesnât fully trust Agnes, heâd rather shell out 20 million bucks to keep the peace!
Should Agnes feel happy or sad about Jaredâs willingness to foot the bill for her without hesitation?
Agnesâs mood was sinking, feeling like a wave of sadness was washing over her.
Agnes stood there for a while.
Soon after, her phone rang.
It was Jared calling.
Agnes suddenly didnât want to pick up.
Because Agnes didnât know what to say.
Should she confront him?
Agnes suddenly felt a little scared.
Before, Jared had always protected her in front of Mamie But then, Mamie was just being a brat, obviously bullying her Jared was like a hero defending the weak But that didnât involve the fundamental trust.
Now, Agnes was having doubts.
If he had to choose between Mamie and her, who would Jared choose?
Would he choose to trust Mamie without hesitation?
Actually, she already saw Jaredâs answer just now All this time, Agnes overlooked that Jared and Mamie have been best buds since they were kids.
Even if they donât have romantic feelings anymore, the understanding and trust between them still exists.
Maybe, is Mamie using this?
The phone rang again, Agnes hesitated whether to answer it or not.
But the phone screen suddenly went black.
The phone ran out of juice Agnes finally breathed a sigh of relief.
This spared her from making a decision.
When Agnes returned to the parking lot, Jaredâs car was already gone.
It was late into the night, and Agnes had no idea what time it was Dressed in her formal attire, Agnes aimlessly wandered the streets.
Thankfully it was late at night and the streets were deserted.
Otherwise, she wouldâve drawn a lot of weird looks Agnes didnât know how long she walked, finally she sat down at the edge of a flower bed Agnes felt lost, unable to describe her feelings âYouâre really gutsy, walking around at night with such an expensive necklace on.â
Suddenly, a male voice floated down from above.
Agnes looked up and saw it was Ivan.
Agnes was a bit surprised: âWhat are you doing here?â
Agnes looked around and realized she had unwittingly walked to the Century Building Agnes forced a smile: âWhat a coincidence.â
Ivanâs voice was gentle and inviting: âGet in the car, Iâll drive you home.â
