Chapter 645 Jared knew that Valeriaâs engagement to him was all about proving her power to the Count and Countess Alexandra to secure the agency rights to their wine.
And she got what she wanted. This took away a bit of the guilt that Jared was feeling.
Valeria continued, âBut thereâs another issue that I need your help with.â
âSpeak up, as long as I can help, consider it done. Itâs the least I can do after breaking off our engagement.â
âIn two weeks, itâs the Count and Countess Alexandraâs daughterâs comingâofâage party. Theyâre holding a banquet at their estate and weâve been invited. The wine agency rights are not yet fully secured, theyâre leaning towards me, but there were a lot of competitors. So, if youâre free, Iâd like you to come with me. After all, they think weâre engaged and theyâre quite impressed with your resources.â

Jared immediately agreed, âRest assured, unless a comet hits the earth, Iâll definitely be there.â
Valeria laughed, âI didnât know you had a sense of humor.â
Jared and Valeriaâs rapport was easy and natural. They had been good business partners for years.
Valeria was undoubtedly a force to be reckoned with, with her sharp mind, daring personality, and her knack for business.
Aside from kinship, Jared had a great deal of respect and admiration for her.
After they finished their business discussion, Valeria didnât hurry to leave.
She walked over to the couch where a child was sitting, âHe looks just like you.â
Jared had heard this so many times that he was tired of it.
âHeâs my son,â Jared said suddenly, proudly.
âI know heâs your son. Look how happy you are,â Valeria teased.
She stood up, âJared, now that Ms. Pritchard is back with your son, what are you planning to do? And does she know about you and Ms. Sharon? As a friend, I need to warn you, women can be very jealous. You need to handle this carefully. And you should also sort things out with Ms. Sharon, or she will bring you trouble.â
Jared smiled, âThanks for the advice.â
Valeria shrugged, âIâm just trying to protect our business.â
âDonât worry, Iâll handle it.â
Valeria left after having a cup of coffee in the office.
Jared, however, was lost in thought.
Although he and Valeria were close friends and she had been by his side, encouraging, helping, and advising him, nobody knew about his real relationship with Sharon.
Including Valeria, who thought Sharon was his mistress who had been with him for three years and even aborted his child.
But the truth... there were many things Jared didnât want to explain, nor could he.
He didnât care about the rumors in the media, even though he had been labeled as a playboy.
But about Agnes, he wouldnât explain anything to her.
Why should he remain faithful when she had been with so many men, even getting engaged to Ryder and living with him?
She was no longer the Agnes he knew. He would rather she misunderstood everything.
Why should he be the one to remain loyal while she didnât even think about him?
She probably forgot all about him a long time ago.
. Just the thought of Agnes being intimate with other men made Jared want to kill.
