Agnes couldn’t fathom what had possessed Jared, who was acting like a leech she couldn’t shake off
and n
o matter how hard she pushed, he wouldn’t budge.
In desperation, Agnes resorted to her last resort.
She bit down hard on Jared’s mouth, b
ut even that didn’t make Jared release her.
Frustrated, Agnes pounded her fist against his shoulder.
Satiated, Jared finally let her go.
Agnes took a step back, rubbing her lips vigorously. “Jared, you are downright insane.”
Jared was in high spirits, “Playing the mad man suits me just fine today.”
Agnes was at a loss for words, looking at the man in front of her.
As Agnes turned to leave, Jared grabbed her arm. “You’re the only one I’ve had in my heart these past
years.”
Hearing this, Agnes was even more incensed. “Only me? Aren’t you supposed to be some kind of
modern–day Casanova, Mr. Whitfield?”
Jared was taken aback, “What Casanova? I’ve only had a few women.”
“Just a few? Mr. Whitfield, you sure have a high appetite. Do you need three thousand to satisfy you?”
But Jared was surprisingly patient now.
Looking at Agnes‘ tantrum, he was reminded of a petulant child.
Jared explained. “There’s nothing between Valeria and me. We’re business partners, at best friends
who confide in each other. There’s no romantic involvement.”
Agnes was puzzled, “But you’re engaged.”
“That’s just for show it’s a long story, but the short version is that she needed the facade of a marriage
for her career, and I needed to stop my father and sister’s nagging. We have a contract, I can show you
later.”
Agnes was taken aback, because s
he had not expected this.
Agnes continued, “What about the famous actress Sharon? Rumor has it you’re her sugar daddy, and
she even had your child.”
Mentioning Sharon made Jared frown
Sensing this, Agnes‘ heart sank.
Could the rumors about Sharon be true?
Jared spoke, “That’s something I can’t explain right now, I’ll tell you later. But I assure you, I have no
romantic entanglement with her, let alone a child. The media caught me taking her to an abortion clinic
three years ago, but it wasn’t my child. I’ve been taking care of her like a sister because I feel guilty
about her current situation.”
Although Agnes didn’t know why Jared felt guilty, she chose to trust him.
“Why do the tabloids portray you as a playboy if you’ve been with no other women?”
Agnes‘ tone was full of sarcasm
“I really haven’t. You know what the tabloids are like, and didn’t you verify my chastity the other day?”
Jared drew closer, “I’ve been living like a monk these past years, didn’t I seem desperate enough the
other night?”
A blush crept up Agnes‘ face.
She looked into Jared’s teasing eyes, remembering the explicit images of that night.
