Chapter 725
Leaving this place, and when Jared stepped into the banquet hall once more, he was holding onto
Agnes' hand. The feeling was entirely different from when they initially entered.
It was as if they were aware of the countless challenges and dangers that lay ahead, but having this
man by her side somehow transformed these obstacles into part of the scenery.
However, they couldn't escape the curious gazes of the crowd.
Agnes knew she had messed up today, but she had to face the outcome.
The banquet seemed to be nearing its end.
Jared led Agnes directly to Count and Countess Alexandra.
Jared spoke to them in French, and Agnes didn't understand. But his face was earnest, as if he was
explaining something, or perhaps apologizing.
Finally, the gaze of Count and Countess Alexandra landed on Agnes, forcing a smile.
Valeria stood by Countess Alexandra’s side.
Countess Alexandra glanced at Jared, then turned to Valeria and said, "Valeria, Jared, I understand
your situation, but I don't like being deceived. I can't entrust my representation to a business partner
who is not honest. However, we are still friends."
Agnes felt a twinge of apprehension in her heart.
So, what Jared said was true. Valeria needed a marriage to further her career, but that was completely
ruined by her and Jared today.
Valeria, on the other hand, simply smiled generously. "I understand, it was my mistake to hide the truth.
I hope we will have the opportunity to collaborate in the future."
Countess Alexandra and Valeria hugged cordially.
Jared looked at Valeria, a hint of guilt on his face, but Valeria gave him a comforting look.
Kearney was nearby, still being pestered by Bella.
Afterwards, everyone refrained from discussing business. They all shared a meal at the long French
dining table. Although there was a slight hiccup, it didn't ruin the mood of the dinner.
When it was time to leave, Jared wanted to leave with Agnes, but Agnes chose to leave with Kearney,
and agreed to meet Jared at Eden Nights after they returned home.
Jared also left with Valeria.
In the car, Jared apologized, "Valeria, I'm sorry about today. But I'll take responsibility for your losses."
Valeria laughed lightly, "Do you know how much I lost this time?"
"Whatever it is, I'll compensate you."
Valeria smiled again, casually flipping her hair back, "Never mind, they were well prepared. I expected
to lose the representation."
Jared frowned, "Are you saying that Kearney deliberately brought Agnes here to expose our
relationship?"
Valeria replied, "I'm not sure if Ms. Pritchard knew about it, but it's obvious that Mr. Kearney was putting
on a show. He successfully gained the sympathy of Count and Countess Alexandra. Plus, with Bella's
fondness for him, I'm not surprised he ended up with the representation."
Jared was silent for a while.
Valeria continued, "He's undoubtedly a dangerous man. He exploited both Ms. Pritchard and you. He Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.
must be well aware of our lives, schedules, and even secrets."
Jared asked, "How do you know he didn't just seize the opportunity?"
Valeria laughed, "I never said Ms. Pritchard was involved. In my opinion, Ms. Pritchard was also a
victim of his schemes. As to why I believe he planned everything, let me ask you something, do you
think Mr. Kearney likes Agnes?"
"I don't think so."
"He doesn't like her, yet he proposed to her. Isn't that suspicious?"
