Chapter 721


    Countess Alexandra was taken aback. With a second look at Kearney, she asked, "Kearney, isn''t


    Agnes your fiancée?"


    A hint of hurt shed across Kearney''s face as he replied, "I wasn''t prepared. I thought it was the right


    time. I''ll have a serious talk with her. She''s a lovely and kind-hearted girl, that''s why many people love


    her."


    Everyone looked at Kearney with sympathy. It was clear that he had no idea this wasing. He was


    so close to sess, yet a curveball was thrown his way. That must have been hard to swallow.


    At this moment, Be came to Kearney''s side.


    Seeing the pain etched on Kearney''s face, Be felt a pang in her heart. Sheforted him in her


    broken English, "Kearney, out with the old, in with the new, just like the saying goes. Don''t be upset.


    You''re so great, I can be your girlfriend."


    Be''s words shocked Count and Countess Alexandra, and Valeria.


    It was fortunate that the surrounding French guests didn''t understand Be’s words.


    Valeria was particrly surprised.


    Kearney was indeed a formidable character. Although she couldn''t tell if his feelings for Agnes were


    genuine or fake, he managed to win the heart of Be, the little princess, on their first meeting. This

    rival was not to be underestimated, she thought.


    After Agnes ran out of the hall, she didn''t know where she was going.


    It wasn''t out of anger. The incident was indeed beyond her expectations, but it wasn''t enough to make


    her lose control. It was when she looked at Kearney, he gave her a signal to run out.


    Agnes knew that staying at the event would only make things even more awkward, and she had no


    idea what Jared might do.


    Kearney signaled her to escape, and she couldn''t have been happier.


    After Agnes left, she initially wanted to find Kearney''s car. But she didn''t expect to enter a garden


    maze. After a few rounds, she waspletely lost.


    When it rains, it pours.


    Jared, however, followed her all the way. He kept a distance of about two meters from her.


    Agnes stopped when she reached a dead end and turned around, "Jared, you ruined everything today."


    Jared just stood there, watching Agnes silently.


    Agnes was still filled with anger, but Jared''s anger seemed to havepletely disappeared, all that


    was left was a thick sense of sadness and helplessness.


    "I know I messed up," Jared said quietly. "But, Agnes, I can''t control myself. I can''t stand to see you


    marrying someone else." Jared looked sad, his aura no longer sharp and cold, but filled with sorrow. It


    was a type of sorrow that made one''s heart ache to see.


    Agnes casually said, "Dummy, it''s a sham."


    Something flickered in Jared''s eyes. He took two steps toward Agnes, "What do you mean, what''s a


    sham?"


    Agnes suddenly realized that she might have revealed too much. This was Kearney''s business matter.


    Although Agnes didn''t understand how the proposal could boost their business, Valeria and Kearney


    were business rivals, so she couldn''t say too much.


    Agnes pursed her lips, "The proposal was a sham. It was all just an act. But now you''ve messed it all


    up."
