After dinner, Ivan planned to drop Agnes off at her place.
But, out of nowhere, Mamie was recognized by fans, and they both got surrounded.
Agnes was slow to move, but she managed to slip away from the crowd.
She texted Ivan, telling him to take Mamie home first.
The two of them had a hard time shaking off the fans.
Only when the reporters started chasing them did Agnes slowly leave the hotel.
She hailed a taxi, ready to go back to the Pritchard family's mansion.
Just as the car was passing by Maplewood Manor, Agnes suddenly asked the driver to stop.
She got out of the car, not even sure why she did that.
Her mind was filled with what Mamie had just said.
Mamie had mentioned Jared had been drinking excessively at home, the situation was severe, his life was in chaos, as if he could drop dead at any moment.
Agnes couldn't help but worry.
She wanted to go in to check, but she hesitated, going back and forth several times.
They were divorced.
She no longer had the right to enter Maplewood Manor.
But she was leaving, wasn't she?
About to move away, not knowing when she could return.
Agnes really wanted to see Jared's face.
She knew this thought was dangerous.
She had personally cut off everything. Now that they've lost all contact, why would she want to stir up trouble?
But in the end, Agnes couldn't control herself.
Maybe it was the impending separation, or maybe it was because the moon was particularly round tonight.
Agnes felt like she was going crazy.
In the end, she went to Maplewood Manor.
The door to Maplewood Manor had a fingerprint lock.
Jared probably hadn't had time to change the lock after their divorce.
Agnes went straight into the mansion.
All the lights in the mansion were dim.
Agnes thought that Jared might not be home.
She told herself, she was just here to gather her belongings.
When she left, she didn't touch those things.
Since they were split up, she should take her personal belongings with her.
With this excuse, Agnes gained more confidence.
Finally, she went straight into the house.
Everything in the house was familiar to Agnes.
