Agnes was fed up with Jared's act of playing dumb.
"He's better than you, Jared. I'm done going around in circles with you. If you still refuse to divorce, I'll go straight to a lawyer. If you don't mind being exposed."
Jared seemed indifferent on the surface, but anger was burning inside him.
She was quite something, making him so mad in just a few seconds. In all these years, she was the first one to do so.
She had asked him for a divorce three times in just three days.
Jared's voice became colder, "Agnes, I forgot to tell you when we got married, divorce doesn't exist in my dictionary, only widowhood."
Agnes looked at him in disbelief.
His cold face sent shivers down her spine.
She had never seen such a sinister side of Jared before.
Jared slammed the door and left.
Soon, Agnes heard the roaring sound of a car downstairs.
Jared had left Maplewood Manor.
Where was he going so late?
Was he going to see Mamie?
Agnes was exhausted; she quickly fell asleep on the bed.
The next morning.
Agnes went to the set.
When she entered the makeup room, she saw everyone gathering together to discuss something.
As she entered, everyone immediately quieted down.
They all had strange looks in their eyes.
Agnes was puzzled.
Ava came over, a worried look on her face, "Agnes, you're on the entertainment headlines."
She handed Agnes a tabloid.
