Chapter 943


    Valeria''s words were brief, but they revealed so much.


    Turns out Ryder had returned to the Tim Corporation and even won a takeover battle.


    Work matters weren''t Agnes'' forte, nor did she want to meddle.This belongs ? N?velDra/ma.Org.


    Agnes turned and went inside, deciding to ignore the rest.


    Jared, meanwhile, wore a detached expression and said coolly, "I''m aware."


    Then to Valeria, he added, "Go back, and don''te looking for me here anymore."


    Valeria was taken aback by Jared''s reaction to the news.


    How could he remain so calm? Even she, an outsider, was finding it hard to watch.


    Ryder was clearly overstepping, acting out of turn, but Jared seemed indifferent.


    He had vanished without a word for half a month.


    Meanwhile, thepany had been through a whirlwind of events.


    The board was losing faith in Jared.


    Now, with Ryder''s impressive acquisition, they might just agree to appoint a new chairman.


    If so, the empire Jared had painstakingly built would undergo a regime change, snatched away by Ryder.


    Valeria questioned, "Don''t you n oning back with me?"


    Jared replied, "I don''t want to go back just yet."


    Valeria frowned, but her voice remained steady, "Fine, then tell me, when do you n on going back?"


    Jared''s answer was firm, "I''ve got my ns, don''t worry about it.”


    "You n on skipping the board meeting, deliberately handing over the Tim Corporation to your brother? You''ve already given up


    the woman, and now you''re handing over thepany as their dowry?"


    Valeria''s words carried a rare bite of sarcasm, but it was born of frustration.


    This wasn''t the Jared she knew. The Jared she knew wouldn''t just give up. Or perhaps, he wanted to stay because Agnes was


    here?


    “Enough, Valeria. It''s not your ce to worry about my choices. Go back. I''ll get in touch with Leo about thepany business."


    Disappointment flickered across Valeria''s face.


    Atst, she managed a resigned smile, "I just came to inform you. You know | always respect your decisions."


    With that, Valeria turned and left the apothecary.


    Inside, Agnes was helping Esther get dressed.


    Esther had only just woken up.


    The entire morning, she and Jared hadn''t exchanged a single word.


    At lunchtime, Agnes couldn''t help but

    Jared''s response was indifferent, "You don''t need to worry about my business."
