Chapter 224


    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.


    She had actually expected him to apologize, and that made him angry enough to leave


    Agnes stared into the darkness, suddenly feeling a sense of confusion


    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 alreadyte at night.


    Everyone was asleep, so Agnes took out her keys to open the door. However, it wouldn’t budge.


    Eventually, even the rm went off, waking up Preston and Laura.


    It was already midnight by then.


    Preston went downstairs to investigate and was surprised to see Agnes standing at the door. “Agnes,


    what are you doing here?”

    Beatrice also came down, still groggy and unaware of what was happening. As soon as she saw


    Agnes, she immediately snapped awake. “I thought we had a burr in the house. Turns out it’s just


    you.”


    Beatrice emphasized the word “burr” with particr emphasis

    Preston was actually quite pleased. “Come in, it’s freezing outside. Why are you dressed so lightly?


    And where’s Jared? Did youe back alone?”


    “I think she looks like she got kicked out of the house. Agnes, did you have nowhere else to go, so you


    came back? Look at you, it’s truly pitiful, Beatrice remarked Preston shot Beatrice a re ‘Shut your


    mouth. Can’t you speak nicely to your sister


    Since Agnes had alreadye back, she had prepared herself, but she didn’t expect the locks on the


    door to be changed.


    “Dad, why can’t my key open the door, and why can’t set off the rm?”

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


    a lot of my jewelry. So I changed the locks Agnes, you’ve been away for so long that my new key can’t


    be given to you”


    Laura’s tone was gentle, even carrying a hint of intimacy, but Agnes never felt it was genuine.


    When she arrived just now, she found that the main gate of the mansion wasn’t ever locked.

    If the house had really been burrized, how could they be so careless?


    However, Agnes understood in her heart, even though she would never expose her


    Agnes simply replied, “Well then, Ms. Laura, just give me the new key tomorrow.”


    Laura’s expression subtly changed, but her smile remained. “But Agnes, why did youe back so


    Upon hearing Laura’s words, Preston grew suspicious “Agnes, what’s going on? Are you having a


    disagreement with Jared?”

    Agnes said, “He’s on a business trip in Japan right now. I just lost the key to Maplewood Manor, so I


    came back to stay for a few days. You’re probably overthinking things.”


    Laura smiled and said, “If you haven’t had a disagreement, then that’s great Your father and I only hope


    for a happy married life for you”


    Preston also breathed a sigh of relief. “Agnes, it’ste. You should go to bed too.” N?vel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive ? material.


    Agnes nodded and went back to her room.
