Chapter 185
Agnes went upstairs with Jared, giving a nod to Tim as they passed by
They hung out for a bit. Suddenly, the butler popped up, “Sir, your guests have arrived
Tim cracked a satisfied smile, “Jared, come down with me to welcome the guests. Agnes, go fetch Ryder and both of you head straight to the dining room.” Agnes gave a curt nod
Tim and Jared went downstairs.
Agnes was taken aback for a moment, then turned around to find Ryder.
The closer she got to Ryder’s room, the more peeved she felt.
Finally, she stopped at the door.
Agnes took a deep breath, getting ready to knock, but before her fingers touched the door, it swung open.
Ryder was standing there
Agnes froze, hand still hanging in mid-air.
Ryder seemed just as surprised to see Agnes at his door. He paused, then scowled, “What do you want?”
Agnes asked, “Why did you help Cecile today? She was clearly in the wrong.”
Agnes couldn’t hold back her annoyance.
Ryder replied, “I just told the truth. You really didn’t need to waste your energy.”
Agnes was riled up by his words, “So, you’re so sure you guys are going to win, huh?”
I never do anything I’m not confident about.”
*So, you joined Cecile’s team just to help her beat me? Ryder, what did I do wrong? Why are you treating me this way?”
Ryder’s gaze darkened, “You didn’t do anything wrong.”
Agnes was confused, “Then why are you treating me this way?”
Ryder coldly said, “I just don’t like you.”
With that, Ryder left the room.
Agnes was seething.
When Agnes entered the dining room, the guests had already arrived.
Agnes spotted a girl about her age.
But, her style was totally different from Agnes’. She was wearing a belly-baring tank top and a butt-skimming miniskirt. She was pretty, and her smile was as bright and warm as sunshine.
The girl was trying to chat with Jared in broken local language.
Agnes frowned.
Tim was chatting with his old friend.
Seeing everyone had arrived, he said, “Let me introduce you all. This is my old friend, Wallace George, and his granddaughter, Anna George.”
Anna, full of energy, introduced herself, “I’m Anna, this is my first time in this country, nice to meet you all.”
Her local language pronunciation was pretty rough, sounding a bit awkward.
Wallace explained, “My granddaughter grew up abroad. She’s not really fluent in the local language, but she’s great in other ways. Please bear with her.” Tim said, “Anna is a lively and cheerful girl. I really like her.”
Then Tim added, “Let’s all take a seat and start the meal.”
Anna insisted on sitting next to Jared, clinging onto his arm and chatting away.
The initial plan was to set up Anna with Ryder, but she didn’t talk to him at all, only showing enthusiasm towards Jared.
After a bit, Jared suddenly said, “Let me introduce you. This is my wife, Agnes.”
A noticeable disappointment Bashed in Anna’s eyes, “Wife? She’s your wife? You’re married?”
Her pronunciation was so off that it sounded like she was grinding her teeth as she spoke.
