Chapter 726 Jared simply couldnât believe this was some sort of scheme cooked up by Agnes and Kearney.
After all, Agnes hadnât seemed to be acting in the garden maze.
There could only be one explanation, that Mr. Kearney had baited everyone at this banquet, j ust as Valeria had insinuated.
What a dreadful man.
What scared Jared even more was that Agnes was willingly standing by such a man, and h e didnât even know their relationship Who exactly had Agnes been associating with all these years?
Once Agnes got into the car, she hung her head, her face filled with remorse. âKearney, Iâm sorry, I messed up today.â
Kearney chuckled, turning to face her. âI should thank you for today. Iâve secured the proxy rights.â
Agnes was taken aback.
Because when she and Jared returned to the castle, she hadnât heard them discussing business.
Kearney, seeing Agnes surprised expression, continued to explain. âMs. Thomas lost the trust of the Count and Countess Alexandra due to her fraudulent marriage. The other wine merchants lack power, so naturally, the proxy rights fell into my lap.
You really did me a solid today.â
But Agnes wasnât pleased.
Even though she had agreed to help Kearney secure the proxy rights, she didnât expect that heâd snatch them from Valeria using Jared.
Would Valeria think it was premeditated?
Agnes suddenly looked up, asking. âKearney, did you know before that Valeriaâs companion was my exâhusband?â
Agnes didnât want to think this way, a nd when Kearney had spotted Jared at the banquet, he seemed surprised too.
If he knew beforehand, he wouldnât have asked Agnes that way, right?
Kearney said, âSeptima, you should know, my original choice for a date was Phenix.â
Agnes finally put two and two together.
If Phenix hadnât suddenly fallen ill, she wouldnât have attended the banquet in her stead, a nd she wouldnât have run into Jared and Valeria.
So how could Kearney have planned all this?
It turned out it was all just a coincidence.
Agnes apologized, âIâm sorry, Kearney, I shouldnât have doubted you.â
Kearney seemed unconcerned, âItâs okayâ
They were flying home the next day.
Agnes contacted Jared before leaving.
They werenât on the same flight, b ut they would arrive on the same day After a long flight, Agnes finally returned to the Capital.
By the time she arrived, it was already 8 p.m.
Kearney took her straight to Eden Nights.
Agnes went to see Phenix first.
Her chickenpox had improved, b ut she was still covered in spots.
Phenix wouldnât let her stay long.
Kearney, after coming back and not even seeing Phenix, took a call and left.
Kearney was running a business empire, Agnes understood When Agnes saw Phenix, she gave her Kearneyâs set of ruby jewelry Phenix stared at the rubles, finally smiling wryly, âI didnât think heâd take a teenagerâs joke seriously.â
Agnes didnât know what Phenix meant She didnât ask about their complicated Ä°nve triangle Exhausted from a long flight Agnes want to bad as soon as she got back (
