Chapter 725


    Leaving this ce, and when Jared stepped into the banquet hall once more, he was holding onto


    Agnes'' hand. The feeling was entirely different from when they initially entered.


    It was as if they were aware of the countless challenges and dangers thaty ahead, but having this


    man by her side somehow transformed these obstacles into part of the scenery.


    However, they couldn''t escape the curious gazes of the crowd.


    Agnes knew she had messed up today, but she had to face the oue.


    The banquet seemed to be nearing its end.


    Jared led Agnes directly to Count and Countess Alexandra.


    Jared spoke to them in French, and Agnes didn''t understand. But his face was earnest, as if he was


    exining something, or perhaps apologizing.


    Finally, the gaze of Count and Countess Alexandranded on Agnes, forcing a smile.


    Valeria stood by Countess Alexandra’s side.


    Countess Alexandra nced at Jared, then turned to Valeria and said, "Valeria, Jared, I understand


    your situation, but I don''t like being deceived. I can''t entrust my representation to a business partner


    who is not honest. However, we are still friends."


    Agnes felt a twinge of apprehension in her heart.


    So, what Jared said was true. Valeria needed a marriage to further her career, but that waspletely


    ruined by her and Jared today.


    Valeria, on the other hand, simply smiled generously. "I understand, it was my mistake to hide the truth.


    I hope we will have the opportunity to coborate in the future."


    Countess Alexandra and Valeria hugged cordially.


    Jared looked at Valeria, a hint of guilt on his face, but Valeria gave him aforting look.


    Kearney was nearby, still being pestered by Be.


    Afterwards, everyone refrained from discussing business. They all shared a meal at the long French


    dining table. Although there was a slight hup, it didn''t ruin the mood of the dinner.


    When it was time to leave, Jared wanted to leave with Agnes, but Agnes chose to leave with Kearney,


    and agreed to meet Jared at Eden Nights after they returned home.


    Jared also left with Valeria.


    In the car, Jared apologized, "Valeria, I''m sorry about today. But I''ll take responsibility for your losses."


    Valeriaughed lightly, "Do you know how much I lost this time?"


    "Whatever it is, I''llpensate you."


    Valeria smiled again, casually flipping her hair back, "Never mind, they were well prepared. I expected


    to lose the representation."


    Jared frowned, "Are you saying that Kearney deliberately brought Agnes here to expose our


    rtionship?"


    Valeria replied, "I''m not sure if Ms. Pritchard knew about it, but it''s obvious that Mr. Kearney was putting


    on a show. He sessfully gained the sympathy of Count and Countess Alexandra. Plus, with Be''s


    fondness for him, I''m not surprised he ended up with the representation."


    Jared was silent for a while.


    Valeria continued, "He''s undoubtedly a dangerous man. He exploited both Ms. Pritchard and you. He


    must be well aware of our lives, schedules, and even secrets."


    Jared asked, "How do you know he didn''t just seize the opportunity?"


    Valeriaughed, "I never said Ms. Pritchard was involved. In my opinion, Ms. Pritchard was also a


    victim of his schemes. As to why I believe he nned everything, let me ask you something, do you


    think Mr. Kearney likes Agnes?"


    "I don''t think so."

    "He doesn''t like her, yet he proposed to her. Isn''t that suspicious?"
