Chapter 681

Jared went straight to the owner of Eden Nights, Phenix.

Not bothering to beat around the bush, Jared asked outright, “Where’s Agnes?”

Phenix chuckled, “Mr. Whitfield, you reserved a private room yesterday but refused the company of our girls here,

and now you’re chasing me down. If you were looking for any of our girls, I could call them over right now. But

you’re looking for an outsider, how am I supposed to help you?”

Jared retorted, “Cut the crap, the woman from Pegasus Plaza yesterday, where is she?”

Phenix feigned, “So you’re looking for my sister Septima. She had some business to attend to and left early this

morning. She’s a valued guest at Eden Nights, staying temporarily. This morning I saw her leaving Pegasus Plaza in

a hurry. You were there last night, you didn’t happen to…?” Jared’s face reddened.

Phenix’s words were blunt, but Jared knew she was merely playing dumb.

However, a weight lifted from Jared’s heart. He had lost his head in anger yesterday.

No matter what, it was impossible for Agnes to seek livelihood in such a place.

Jared knew that Agnes had been living in Manhattan these past years.

Maybe he was just subconsciously using his anger to find a target that resembled her.

Jared asked coldly, “Where is she now?”

“I don’t know, I’m not her mother. She’s a grown woman, she goes wherever she pleases.”

Phenix replied nonchalantly.

Jared realized he wouldn’t get anything out of her, but he still didn’t understand Phenix’s so–called Septima.

Earlier, Bro Kear and Naylor had already surprised Jared. Now there was also Phenix.

The people Agnes had been in contact with these years were truly unpredictable

After leaving Eden Nights, Agnes went to the Prestige Medical Center to see Kerri Bradford.

She had no other friends here, but last night’s events were simply absurd.

Moreover, Agnes was currently in a state of disarray. She urgently needed to vent.

But to her surprise, Kerri was not there. The hospital staff said that Dr. Bradford had resigned and left.

Agnes made a call but couldn’t get through on the phone.

Agnes speculated that Brayden had probably forced them to move house again.

Thinking about this, Agnes could only sigh.

Agnes stayed in a hotel for two days.

She decided not to return to Eden Nights, figuring Jared would be waiting there for her.

Agnes was unsure how to face him, and she had a lot of things to deal with

She couldn’t allow Jared to disrupt her plans

Two days later Kearney returned

He found Agres immediately, and he brought all the things Agnes wanted.

They have found Vernon, and he admitted to all his past crimes

Vernon confessed that Laure and Berlin had tampered with Prestons car all those years ago.

And he was willing to come forward and accuse the two of premeditated murder

Agnes was taken aback, she hadn’t expected things to go so smoothly

Agnes asked Kearney, “How did you find Vernon? And how did you get him to confess? He’s notoriously loyei end

tough ‘ Kearney’s eyes twinkled behind his glasses. “Everyone has a weakness. Once you find 4, it’s easy to get

what you want ‘ Later, Agnes found out that Vernon had a six–year–old daughter, who was now in Kearney’s handa.
