Chapter 159


    Did she say something wrong again? Because when she said it, she clearly saw Ryder frown.


    Ryder opened his mouth and said, “Are you done? If so, you can leave now.”


    Agnes felt extremely awkward. She quietly left Ryder’s room, gently closing his door behind her. When


    she returned to her own bedroom Jared, who was sitting on the sofa reading documents, looked up an


    d asked, “Where have you been?”


    Agnes walked over, a dejected look on her face, “I think your nephew really hates me.”

    “Oh? You mean Ryder?” Jared asked


    Agnes replied, “It’s all because of you. He must think I stole you away from him.”


    Jared chuckled, stroking Agnes’s hair, “That’s not it. Ryder is just more introverted and solitary. But if y


    ou give him some time, you’ll discover he’s actually a really


    warm person.”


    “Warm” was a word Agnes simply couldn’t associate with Ryder. Didn’t he know that Ryder was called


    Prince Frost at school?


    The next day. Beatrice, limping, came looking for trouble with Agnes at the film set. In the lounge, Beatr


    ice pointed at Agnes’s nose and asked, “Agnes, are you deliberately bullying me?”


    Agnes calmly replied, “How did I bully you?”


    “Why didn’t youe homest night? You left me alone in that big house. Isn’t that bullying me?” Bea


    trice said.


    Agnes replied lightly. “You chose to stay at Maplewood Manor, but I didn’t say we were going to stay th


    ere too. You’re staying there not because you’re alone at home, but for some other purpose, right?”


    There were many people in the lounge, and Agnes wasn’t trying to protect Beatrice’s dignity.


    Beatrice retorted, “Agnes, don’t use me without reason. Don’t think everyone is as dirty–


    minded as you.”


    “Why don’t you exin how I made you out to be dirty–minded?” Agnes asked.


    “You!” Beatrice was choked by Agnes‘ words.


    Everyone clearly saw what Beatrice was up to. The fall yesterday was probably on purpose. She just di


    dn’t expect Jared to not show any consideration. And now she had taken the opportunity to stay at the


    Maplewood Manor, her intentions were even clearer. Everyone admired Agnes’s good temper, being a


    ble to tolerate Beatrice’s tant coveting.


    Beatrice said defiantly, “I’m only staying there temporarily because of my injured foot. Once it’s healed,


    I’ll move out immediately.” After saying this, she turned and left the lounge.


    She didn’t believe they would nevere back!


    Ava said, “Agnes, you’re too nice, you’ll get bullied. Look at Beatrice, she’s too arrogant. Her foot is cle


    arly mostly healed, but she’s still sticking around at your and Mr. Whitfield’s house. Her intentions are to


    o obvious.”


    Agnes said, “Never mind her. She can’t possibly live there forever.”


    However, Beatrice was busy at Maplewood Manor every day, and Agnes’s scenes weren’tpleted u


    ntil two monthster. During this time, Jared never visited Maplewood Manor again.


    Beatrice was very angry at Agnes. It must be because she didn’t want Jared toe back.


    On the day her scenes were finished, Jared invited the entire film crew to Noir for a celebration dinner.


    Noir was the most upscale and elegant private restaurant in Willowbrook Town, loved by the high–


    ss crowd. But the prices were not something ordinary people.


    could afford


    And that day, the hundreds of people on the film crew practically booked the entire Noir.
