Chapter 157: Chapter 159

Chapter 159 Did she say something wrong again? Because when she said it, she clearly saw Ryder frown.

Ryder opened his mouth and said, “Are you done? If so, you can leave now.”

Agnes felt extremely awkward. She quietly left Ryder’s room, gently closing his door behind her. When she returned to her own bedroom Jared, who was sitting on the sofa reading documents, looked up and asked, “Where have you been?”

Agnes walked over, a dejected look on her face, “I think your nephew really hates me.”

“Oh? You mean Ryder?” Jared asked Agnes replied, “It’s all because of you. He must think I stole you away from him.”

Jared chuckled, stroking Agnes’s hair, “That’s not it. Ryder is just more introverted and solitary. But if you give him some time, you’ll discover he’s actually a really warm person.”

“Warm” was a word Agnes simply couldn’t associate with Ryder. Didn’t he know that Ryder was called Prince Frost at school?

The next day. Beatrice, limping, came looking for trouble with Agnes at the film set. In the lounge, Beatrice pointed at Agnes’s nose and asked, “Agnes, are you deliberately bullying me?”

Agnes calmly replied, “How did I bully you?”

“Why didn’t you come home last night? You left me alone in that big house. Isn’t that bullying me?” Beatrice said.

Agnes replied lightly. “You chose to stay at Maplewood Manor, but I didn’t say we were going to stay there too. You’re staying there not because you’re alone at home, but for some other purpose, right?”

There were many people in the lounge, and Agnes wasn’t trying to protect Beatrice’s dignity.

Beatrice retorted, “Agnes, don’t accuse me without reason. Don’t think everyone is as dirty–minded as you.”

“Why don’t you explain how I made you out to be dirty–minded?” Agnes asked.

“You!” Beatrice was choked by Agnes‘ words.

Everyone clearly saw what Beatrice was up to. The fall yesterday was probably on purpose. She just didn’t expect Jared to not show any consideration. And now she had taken the opportunity to stay at the Maplewood Manor, her intentions were even clearer. Everyone admired Agnes’s good temper, being able to tolerate Beatrice’s blatant coveting.

Beatrice said defiantly, “I’m only staying there temporarily because of my injured foot. Once it’s healed, I’ll move out immediately.” After saying this, she turned and left the lounge.

She didn’t believe they would never come back!

Ava said, “Agnes, you’re too nice, you’ll get bullied. Look at Beatrice, she’s too arrogant. Her foot is clearly mostly healed, but she’s still sticking around at your and Mr. Whitfield’s house. Her intentions are too obvious.”

Agnes said, “Never mind her. She can’t possibly live there forever.”

However, Beatrice was busy at Maplewood Manor every day, and Agnes’s scenes weren’t completed until two months later.

During this time, Jared never visited Maplewood Manor again.

Beatrice was very angry at Agnes. It must be because she didn’t want Jared to come back.

On the day her scenes were finished, Jared invited the entire film crew to Noir for a celebration dinner.

Noir was the most upscale and elegant private restaurant in Willowbrook Town, loved by the high–class crowd. But the prices were not something ordinary people.

could afford And that day, the hundreds of people on the film crew practically booked the entire Noir.
