Agnes couldn’t hold back the tears, but she raised her head and tried not to cry.
She had been 100 naive, thinking that someone like Jared would actually apologize
He had always been a man of divine nobility, so why would he ever admit his mistakes?
In his eyes, she was intentionally getting close to Ryder.
And now, he had stopped the car to talk to her, but only because he didn’t want to make a scene.

With no money and nowhere to go, she could only return home in the end.
When Agnes arrived at the Pritchard family mansion, it was already late at night.

Laura, wearing silk pajamas, also came over. “I changed the locks. We had a break-in before, and I lost
