Agnes suddenly froze. She was just making an example.
"I didn't mean that. I was just making an example."
"So you still haven't forgotten about that guy?"
"I forgot about him a long time ago."
"Do you guys still keep in touch?"
"No, absolutely not."
Agnes turned red as a beet, flustered.
Jared suddenly reached out and ruffled her hair, "Don't ever mention that guy again, got it? Not even in your thoughts."
Agnes obediently agreed.
Just like that, Jared's distraction made Agnes forget what she was about to say.
What was it again?
Regardless, despite the scare today, Agnes' gloomy mood of the past few weeks had lightened up.
She actually wanted to ask about the necklace but didn't in the end.
Ivan had mentioned before that the investigation had hit a roadblock.

Agnes wasn't sure if Mamie was trying to harm her, but she believed that one day, the truth would come out eventually.
