Chapter 313


    Jared was just staring out the window, not saying a word, as if he hadn’t heard a thing.


    Agnes felt a bit awkward, knowing Jared’s snobbish character in public.


    So, she covered for Jared, “He doesn’t mean anything by it, he was born that way, Mari, please


    don’t mind it.”

    Jared shot Agnes a nce.


    In a short while, they reached Starfall Vige


    Today, Starfall Vige was buzzing like never before


    Even though it’s in the middle of nowhere, its boat race was super famous, drawing crowds from other


    cities just to catch the action.


    The boat race took ce on Starfall River, with water so clear you could see your own reflection.


    Though the race hadn’t started yet, the banks of Starfall River were already jam-packed with people.


    Agnes was a bit bummed, “With all these people, we’re not gonna find a decent spot


    Man chimed in, “I know a ce that was not too crowded with great view


    Agnes was surprised to find that Mari led them to the riverbank where the race was about to start.


    The view was incredible, they could even see the faces of the racers clearly.


    But the reason this ce wasn’t buzzing with people was because of a broken spot on the riverbank


    that hadn’t been fixed yet.


    Watching the race from here, it was easy to take a tumble into the water when it’s crowded.


    Still, there were a few brave souls around, though not many.


    Mari warned, “This is probably the best spot, but just watch your step. The riverbank is busted. It’s


    easy to fall into the river.”


    Agnes was thrilled. She bolted to the front, hollering with the crowd.


    Then, she turned to Jared, “Jared, look at those guys, they’re ripped, all of them have six pack abs.”


    Jared frowned, “Are they really that great?”


    Agnes stuck her tongue out teasingly, “Don’t be such a wet nket. I’m just taking a look, not gonna


    touch them.”


    This woman still wanted to touch them?


    Jared pinched Agnes” face, “No more looking, let’s go home.”


    Agnes quickly held onto Jared’s hand, pleading for forgiveness, “I’m sorry, I’m just here for the race,


    okay?”


    Jared released his grip. Mari stood nearby, watching the two of them interact. They were like a


    couple in love, which was admirable.


    Agnes had lived a life of privilege since she was little. Every time she visited the countryside,


    everything felt fresh and exciting, like the chicks and ducks were new


    toys.


    She said she loved the countryside because it was quiet and cozy.


    But Mari, who had grown tired of this ce, knew otherwise.


    Agnes found the chicks and ducks cute, probably because she didn’t have to clean up after them.


    She loved the homemade food, probably because she was used to fancy, exotic dishes.


    Mari had been a hardworking student since she was little. She had one goal in mind to get out of the


    countryside and be someone people looked up to.


    In fact, she had achieved that, she now had a high-paying, respectable job.


    But that wasn’t enough.


    She had only managed to escape the countryside but couldn’t break into high society.


    Even though she was a top performer at work, she was still working for someone else.


    Her only way out was with a little help


    She was excellent and beautiful and many rich businessmen had expressed interest in her


    Although she was outwardly friendly, she didn’t really fancy these fat, nch people.


    Until sheid her eyes on Jared for the first time…


    Mari admitted, she was attracted to this man with a unique elitist charm


    The Boat Race started quickly.
