Jared said, "I've heard a bit about it. The Wilson family controls some of the top media outlets, so Mrs. Wilson has managed to stay out of the spotlight. But after Mr. Wilson passed away, there seemed to be a lot of drama over the inheritance."
Jared's curiosity got the better of him. "How did her name come up all of a sudden?"
"Mrs. Wilson turns out to be Jenny. Do you remember Jenny?" Agnes revealed.
Jared furrowed his brows. How could he forget?
It's rare to see a college sophomore resort to such underhanded tactics to frame someone.
"How could it be her?" Jared was astonished.
"I couldn't believe it myself, but thinking about it, it fits her character. She appears fragile on the outside, but she's stubborn to the core and won't stop until she gets what she wants. I have no clue how she got to know Mr. Wilson, but her experiences over the past few years are enough for a memoir," Agnes shared.
Jared suddenly grew concerned. "She's a cunning woman. So, you're having dinner with her tonight?"
Agnes recounted everything that had happened that day, including Jenny's donation to set up a scholarship at Lakeside College.
And of course, the unexpected encounter with Elton at Cloud View.
Jared's expression grew grimmer as he listened. After pondering for a while, he said, "I think her main purpose for coming back was Elton, but that doesn't mean she's forgotten the past and won't try to harm you."
Agnes had a similar hunch. Jenny was up to something. Showing up out of the blue and asking to meet definitely hinted at an agenda.
"By the way, she and Elton have a child together," Agnes added.
