Chapter 197 Once they were in, Agnes said, âHonestly, I donât think this is right.â
Jared chuckled, âWhat do you think isnât right?â
Agnes said, âThe whole thing about you firing Yolanda. Even though she was deliberately making things difficult for me, it didnât have to result in her losing her job. Also, the Bowman family isnât just any ordinary family...â
âI got one question for you, Jared cut her off.
Agnes was taken aback.
Jared asked, âAre you happy that I fired her?â
After a moment of hesitation, Agnes blurted out, âYes!â
Jared laughed softly, ruffled Agnesâs hair and said, âThatâs all that matters. And this serves as a warning. Does anyone think they can mess with my wife, Jaredâs wife? Letâs see who dares to bother you in the future,â
Jaredâs words were said in a casual manner.
But Agnes felt like she was completely submerged in a jar of honey.
Suddenly, she stepped forward and wrapped her arms around Jaredâs waist, âHoney, youâre going to spoil me rotten.â
Jared turned, cupped Agnesâs face and placed a gentle kiss on her forehead, âSpoil you rotten, I will. Itâs my pleasure.â
Agnes was beaming inside.
Just as the two were planning to go out for a lavish meal, they received a call from Alyssa.
She said that Tim had just suffered a heart attack and was hospitalized.
So, they hurried off to the hospital.
Tim was already settled in a VIP suite.
Upon seeing Jared and Agnes, he chided Alyssa, âI told you, itâs just an old problem. You didnât have to bring Jared and Agnes into this.â
Agnes approached the bed, âHow could we not know? If you donât tell us, weâll worry even more.â
Tim looked at Agnesâs worried expression and chuckled, âI know my own body. We all have to accept aging. But Iâm glad youâre hereâ
Alyssa chimed in with a serious look, âLucky I found him in time. He was gasping for air on the floor. The maid wasnât careful, forgot to give him his medicine. Iâve fired all of them.
Tim added, âYouâre just overreacting, even fired the servants.â
Alyssa turned to Jared, âJared, I need to go to France for a fashion show. I think you two should move back home for a while. I donât trust the new staff yet. Someone needs to keep an eye on them.â
Jared nodded, âAlright.â
Leaving the hospital, Agnes regretted, âWe shouldâve moved back home earlier. Today was too close. I canât even imagine what would have happened.â Jared stayed calm, âDonât worry. Itâs just another one of Alyssa and Timâs schemes. They put on a show every year, hoping Iâll move back.â
Agnes was shocked. You mean Tim was faking it?â
Jared nodded, âDidnât he look perfectly healthy? And if it was serious, wouldnât Ryder be there?â
âMaybe he doesnât know?â
âMaybe he just doesnât want to be part of their drama.â
Agnes was speechless.
âWhy donât you just expose the truth?â she asked.
Jared smiled, âTim cares a lot about his pride. If 1 expose the truth, wouldnât that be a slap in his face? Letâs just move back for a few days, so his efforts wonât go in vain.â
So, the next day, Agnes and Jared officially moved back to the Whitfield Manor with no set return date.
