Chapter 211
Jared didn’t step inside. He just stood at the entrance for a while and then turned around and left
After leaving the hospital, Agnes went straight to school
As soon as she got there, she heard a group of girls gossiping.
“Have you heard that Cecile was expelled from school?” “For real? Cecile is the mayor’s daughter. She has been domineering in the school, causing many problems, but the principal’s been turning a blind eye. Did she really get expelled?”
“Yup, it’s true. It’s not known which powerful person she offended, but she’s been fired.”
“That’s really good news! The queen bee of the school’s mean girls got expelled. Guess the rest will have to toe the line now”
Agnes, hearing all this, was a bit puzzled
Cecile got expelled?
Why?
At lunch, Agnes mentioned it to Kerri.
Kerri said, “It might be Jared’s doing. I gotta tell you something. The stage collapse at the school festival wasn’t an accident. Someone used sulfuric acid to corrode the material of the stage which caused the stage to collapse”
Agnes was shocked Who would be so vicious?”
If someone had gotten hit by the steel frame of the stage, it could have been fatal.
If someone did it on purpose, that’s murder.
Kerri continued, “I heard the acid was in a timed device. The culprit could control the time. And the stage collapsed when you were on it. So, who in this school hates you enough to do something so vicious?”
“Cecile?” Agnes couldn’t believe it.
There was a lot of conflict between her and Cecile, but Agnes couldn’t believe that Cecile would want to kill her.
Kerri went on, “So, Cecile getting expelled is a good thing. She has always harbored malice towards you, plus she lost a bet to you before. Fortunately. she was expelled, otherwise we don’t know what she will do in the future.”
Agnes was still a bit dazed.
“So I think Jared had something to do with Cecile being expelled. She’s a mean girl who tried to frame his wife and hurt his nephew. Mr. Whitfield wouldn’t stand for that.”
Hearing Kerri talk like that, Agnes started taking it more seriously.
She wanted to ask Jared what was going on when she got home.
But she didn’t expect him to be off to Japan on a business trip.
The day he came back was the same day Ryder was discharged from the hospital.
Ryder was discharged in the afternoon and came home for dinner.
Everyone at home already knew.
Tim was very worried, and Alyssa came back early from Paris.
Thankfully, Ryder was recovering well.
He could walk freely now.
Jared was away on business for a week.
He rarely left for this long.
Agnes spent every day couring the hours.
Eventually, she couldn’t fielp but ask Jared’s secretary about his schedule.
The day Jared came back, Agnes went to the airport to wait for him.
The plane was delayed.
Jared didn’t arrive until the evening
Agnes greeted him with a big smile and an enthusiastic hug.
Jared looked surprised “What are you doing here?”
“I asked Leo about your schedule. I wanted to surprise you”
Jared sounded indifferent. “We’re in public, we should behave. Let’s go home.”
Agnes was taken aback.
She didn’t understand why Jared was so cold all of a sudden
Every time she came back from a trip, she’d go to pick him up and he’d always be happy
Jared took a few steps, saw that Agnes was still standing there, and turned and asked, “Aren’t you coming?”
10.51
Agnes responded and rushed to catch up.
Maybe he’s just too tired, Agnes thought.
