Agathaâs eyes gleamed once she saw the card. âRest assured. Jensen will do his best! He intended to come up with an act yesterday, but Louisa left suddenly. He said heâll rack his brains make her his Kylie respond. Instead, she emphasized âIâll find you if thereâs anything. Donât just come to freely.â
both Mikayla and Jerome spotted Agatha with her. Though they were related and didnât necessarily look suspicious, she thought itâd be better to be careful. Jensen was pursuing Louisa, and she didnât want to get involved if anything happened.
Taking the card from her, Agatha said, âKylie, Iâm here for you since youâre here alone. No oneâs looking after you. Oh, poor you!â
Pressing the heel of her hand against her head, Kylie answered, âLater, tell the nurse that I fainted. She knows what to do.â

A secretary bumped me so Iâ¦â
Her words trailed when she noticed the disdain Jeromeâs face. He thought she was lying, and she to file a divorce. She instantly lost the urge to defend herself.
Letâs with the divorce proceedings after Grandmaâs birthday. I wonât bother you about this before her birthday. Iâll also tell Uncle Stephen and Aunt Matilda to stop bothering you.â
It was just ten days, after all. Everything would pass by in a blur, so Mikayla decided to lay low for .
Jerome scoffed, but he didnât say whether he believed her. Just as he was about to step into the bathroom, his phone on the coffee table rang.
