Chapter 170
When Mamie left, she was slumped over Ivan, drunk off her face, mumbling. “Why why did it turn out
like tins…
The private room fell silent for a while after Mamie and Ivan’s exit
Brayden felt awkward What should’ve been a joyful birthday bash had turned into a catfight between
Jared and two women. Seeing Mamie in such a state, Agnes felt terrible too. She tugged gently at
Jared’s sleeve, saying, “I wanna go home”
Jared turned to Brayden, ‘Brayden, we’re gonna take off. Sorry for the drama, we’ll make it up to you
next time?
Brayden patted Jared on the shoulder, showing understanding, and said in a low voice, “Take good
care of Agnes when you get home. Young girls can get all kinds of crazy
ideas.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShawn joked from the side, “Sounds like you’ve got a lot of experience. Isn’t your partner about the
same age as Agnes?”
Even after they’d gotten in the car, Agnes still felt a bit dazed.
Jared gently stroked her hair, asking. “What’s wrong?”
Suddenly, Agnes turned her head and asked in a dazed tone, “Why did you choose me?”
Jared was a bit puzzled, “What do you mean?”
Agnes looked downcast, “Can’t your feelings for Mamie after all these years outweigh your feelings for
me? Why did you choose to marry me?”
What Agnes really wanted to know was why Jared had so firmly stood by her side. She couldn’t figure it

If that was the case… Agnes’s gaze became gloomy.
Jared seemed to be stumped by this question and didn’t respond immediately.
Agnes’s heart seemed to be sinking to the bottom of the sea at his silence. Had she guessed right?
“Agnes, I’m going to tell you the truth, promise not to get mad at me.” Jared suddenly became serious.
Agnes felt a knot in her stomach, “Just say it. Whatever the reason, I can handle it. I just want to know
the real answer.”,
Even though Agnes said this, she felt a pang in her chest.
She probably hit the nail on the head.
Jared said earnestly, “I’ve been pondering over this question too. But I eventually thought, you might be

Agnes was taken aback, “What are you talking about?”
Jared chuckled, as if he recalled something, “Don’t you remember? That night, you dragged me into
your room, pounced on me like a wild animal. You almost tied me up, and then you… I had no chance
to resist.”
Jared was obviously referring to the first time they met.
But at that time, Agnes was completely wasted. The only thing she remembered was waking up the
next day with an unfamiliar man beside her. She had no recollection of what happened before.
When Jared mentioned it, her face turned as red as a ripe tomato. She said in embarrassment and
shame, “You’re kidding, right? You’re six foot one, who could force you if you didn’t agree?”

Jared looked wronged, “You probably don’t remember how you were then. You were like a madwoman,
incredibly strong. I really couldn’t resist and my clothes were even torn by you. I still have that outfit. If
you don’t believe me, I can show you when we get home!
