Chapter 435 Agnes suddenly realized, âI see, I must have got it all wrong about Ms. Lauraâ
Laura was surprised by Agnesâ sudden change. Agnes was always straightforward and did not tolerate any injustice.
The minute she got home and started grilling Laura, it was obvious sheâd seen something at the game.
Even though Laura insisted she was innocent, deep down she knew Agnes would never believe her.
Laura was confused by Agnes unusual reaction. She managed a weak smile, âIâll just go take a shower and then head to the hospital to see your dad.â
As Laura went upstairs, Agnes watched her leave, her expression turning frosty Agnes knew better than to confront someone like Laura, even if she didnât admit to anything.
Especially since Laura always used her fatherâs reputation as a threat.
Lately, Agnes was constantly back and forth between home and the hospital.
Even though Laura hadnât been out and about, she often visited Preston in the hospital.
But truth be told, she didnât really give a hoot about Prestonâs condition.
All the medical plans for Preston were down to Agnes.
And it was always Agnes who was negotiating with the medical team.
To say Agnes was heartbroken would be an understatement.
Laura hadnât even done as much as sponge bathe Preston or change his clothes.
Agnes wasnât sure when Laura started seeing that guy, but it was crystal clear that Laura had lost all feeling for her father.
Agnes was a bit gutted, realizing that itâs only when the chips are down that you see someoneâs true colors.
Jared was a regular visitor too.
Even Tim stopped by a couple of times.
Tim was still in the dark about Alyssa and her falling out.
He was always comforting her, saying the Whitfield family would have her back.
Looking at Timâs gray hair, Agnes was at a loss for words.
Day after day, Agnes kept vigil at the hospital.
But Prestonâs condition didnât improve.
He just lay there, still as can be, like he was asleep.
All this time, Agnes talked to him every day, about everything and anything.
It was like she was getting everything she hadnât said in ten years off her chest.
Sometimes, Agnes thought this wasnât so bad.
If her dad never woke up, she would be there with him.
March 15th was Jaredâs birthday.
The Whitfield family threw a lavish party, with all the big shots and high society of the city.
But Agnes didnât show up.
The media started making a meal out of this.
After all, Agnes was the talk of the town in the entertainment world right now, and with âNebula Dreamsâ wrapped and in full promotion mode.
Plus, with the news of Prestonâs car accident, Agnes was always in the spotlight.
But she wasnât paying any attention to all that.
For the first time, the entertainment media was buzzing with rumors of her and Jared getting a divorce.
The proof was Jaredâs birthday party, which Agnès didnât attend. Of course, the entertainment media had unearthed plenty of other evidence. For instance, ever since Prestonâs accident, Agnes had been living at the Pritchard familyâs villa, she hadnât set foot in the Whitfield residence or her love nest with JaredâMaplewood Manor Whatâs more, although Jared did go to the hospital, they were never seen together.
It was a clear sign that something was wrong with their relationship. The clincher was the paparazzi catching socialite Valeria Thomas making frequent visits to the Whitfield residence This only fueled the rumors about Jaredâs marriage hitting the rocks.
