Agnes took a deep breath to steady herself before stepping out of the car, feigning a calm demeanor, “What can I

do for you, Mr. Whitfield?” Perfect. She could still call him Mr. Whitfield with such icy indifference.

“Agnes, what’s the meaning of having a one–night stand then disappearing on me?” Jared suddenly spoke up.

Agnes was taken aback, not expecting Jared to be so blunt. His words made her feel as if he was playing the

“If I recall correctly,” Agnes retorted, “it was you who forced yourself on me that night. My not reporting you is

already an act of mercy. So, there’s no ‘having a one–night stand‘ situation, Mr. Whitfield. You sure know how to

evade responsibility.”

“Yes, initially, I forced you. But don’t tell me that you didn’t want it afterwards, Agnes. We didn’t just do it once or

twice. I remember quite clearly how engrossed you were.”

Jared leaned in close to Agnes, his voice a seductive whisper, “If you’ve forgotten, I wouldn’t mind helping you

somewhat resentful ex–wife. Agnes didn’t want to be another one of his conquests.

That night was a mistake, one she deeply regretted. She couldn’t afford to get any further involved with him.

Jared’s face hardened, “Very well, Agnes. That’s a good answer, His voice was so cold it sent chills down her spine.

Without another word, Jared turned and drove away. Watching his black Bentley disappear into the distance, Agnes

felt a heavy weight settle in her heart, They couldn’t have a proper conversation. But even if they could, what
