Chapter 754 This woman was identical to Agnes. She looked like a mirror reflection of Agnes, even more than Beatrice who did surgery. But she seemed young, a petite and slender figure with short hair. Her demeanor was quite different from Beatriceâs.
Mr. K strolled around the woman, âHey, whatâs your name?â
The woman glanced at him nonchalantly. âAgnes.â
Mr. K turned to Jared in surprise, âWow, Jared, she even has the same name.â
But something didnât feel right. He looked at Agnes, then back at Jared Both were gazing at him with an affectionate sort of pity.
Finally, Mr. K realized that the person standing before him wasnât a substitute. It was Agnes herself!
Stuttering, Mr. K exclaimed, âAgnes, itâs really youâ
Agnes smirked at him. âI believe you were just about to give me a lesson.â
Mr. K almost fell to his knees. He quickly put on a fawning smile, âAgnes, I wouldnât dare. You know I just like to run my mouth. I might rough up Jared a bit, but I wouldnât dare lay a finger on you. Plus, everyone knows youâre a blackâbelt in karate.â
Jaredâs icy voice came from behind him, âIâve been itching for a fight lately, looking for someone to practice with me.â
Mr. K suddenly felt like he was caught between a rock and a hard place. He had managed to offend both of them.
Mr. K said, âAgnes, you look stunning today. Iâve got to go, Iâve got some work to do.â
With that, he opened the office door and bolted. As he left, he muttered, âDamn, Jared is so unlucky. After four years, heâs still under the thumb of the same woman Love is a dangerous thing, Iâll never get involved with it, ever.â
At that time, Mr. K had no idea how soon he would break his promise.
Agnes watched him leave, asking, âHow old is Mr. K this year?â
â22â
âNot a child anymore, but he still acts like a childâ
âHeâs just a kid at heart. Besides computer data, thereâs nothing else in his head.â
âI guess all geniuses are socially inept, just like Nateâ
âWhoâs Nate?â
Agnes smiled, âA person from Manhattan, also Nocturneâs mentor, a computer whiz.â
Agnes didnât want to say much about Nate, Kearney, and Phenix. These peopleâs identities were usually murky. Once exposed, they could easily find themselves in danger. So Agnes avoided talking about them whenever she could!.
Of course, Jared didnât pry. He knew that Agnes had lately been dealing with some people with mysterious backgrounds, and Even Reggie Albert was somehow involved.
Jared had casually asked about it once, and Agnes had simply said that she had been saved by someone in the past, who she now called her godfather. This godfather had several children, who were the mysterious figures now appearing in her life. But Agnes didnât want to elaborate Jared respected her privacy and didnât press her on it. However, Agnes did say that when the time was right, she would introduce Jared to her godfather And her godfather was Reggie.
The name stirred a complex mix of emotions in Jared.
Reggie, Regret? Why did he choose that name?
One day, he would get to the bottom of it.
