Chapter 645


    Jared knew that Valeria''s engagement to him was all about proving her power to the Count and


    Countess Alexandra to secure the agency rights to their wine.


    And she got what she wanted. This took away a bit of the guilt that Jared was feeling.

    Valeria continued, "But there''s another issue that I need your help with."


    "Speak up, as long as I can help, consider it done. It''s the least I can do after breaking off our


    engagement."


    "In two weeks, it''s the Count and Countess Alexandra''s daughter''sing-of-age party. They''re


    holding a banquet at their estate and we''ve been invited. The wine agency rights are not yet fully


    secured, they''re leaning towards me, but there were a lot ofpetitors. So, if you''re free, I''d like you


    toe with me. After all, they think we''re engaged and they''re quite impressed with your resources."


    Jared immediately agreed, "Rest assured, unless aet hits the earth, I''ll definitely be there."


    Valeriaughed, "I didn''t know you had a sense of humor."


    Jared and Valeria''s rapport was easy and natural. They had been good business partners for years.


    Valeria was undoubtedly a force to be reckoned with, with her sharp mind, daring personality, and her


    knack for business.


    Aside from kinship, Jared had a great deal of respect and admiration for her.


    After they finished their business discussion, Valeria didn''t hurry to leave.


    She walked over to the couch where a child was sitting, "He looks just like you."


    Jared had heard this so many times that he was tired of it.


    "He''s my son," Jared said suddenly, proudly.


    "I know he''s your son. Look how happy you are," Valeria teased.


    She stood up, "Jared, now that Ms. Pritchard is back with your son, what are you nning to do? And


    does she know about you and Ms. Sharon? As a friend, I need to warn you, women can be very


    jealous. You need to handle this carefully. And you should also sort things out with Ms. Sharon, or she


    will bring you trouble."


    Jared smiled, "Thanks for the advice."


    Valeria shrugged, "I''m just trying to protect our business."


    "Don''t worry, I''ll handle it."


    Valeria left after having a cup of coffee in the office.


    Jared, however, was lost in thought.


    Although he and Valeria were close friends and she had been by his side, encouraging, helping, and


    advising him, nobody knew about his real rtionship with Sharon.


    Including Valeria, who thought Sharon was his mistress who had been with him for three years and


    even aborted his child.


    But the truth... there were many things Jared didn''t want to exin, nor could he.


    He didn''t care about the rumors in the media, even though he had beenbeled as a yboy.


    But about Agnes, he wouldn''t exin anything to her.


    Why should he remain faithful when she had been with so many men, even getting engaged to Ryder


    and living with him?


    She was no longer the Agnes he knew. He would rather she misunderstood everything.


    Why should he be the one to remain loyal while she didn''t even think about him?


    She probably forgot all about him a long time ago.


    Just the thought of Agnes being intimate with other men made Jared want to kill.
