Chapter 251

The host’s face shifted.

He seemed to sniff something fishy.

But Claud had whipped out the paperwork, so there shouldn’t be any room for doubt.

The necklace, “The Heart of the Kingdom, belonged to the Stone Group before it was auctioned off.

And the Stone Group was the high muck-a-muck of the exhibition.

If the big cheese said it was a misunderstanding, then it surely was one.

The host quickly regained his composure and handed “The Heart of the Kingdom’ to Jared, saying,

“Seems like a mix-up, we owe you, Mrs. Whitfield, an apology. Here’s your necklace, Mr. Whitfield, why

don’t you do the honors?”

Jared took the necklace and began to walk slowly towards Agnes. She was clearly puzzled, having no

idea what was happening.

Did Jared really buy the necklace for her? It didn’t seem like his style, leaving her with a mind full of

questions but no answers in sight.

Amidst everyone’s curious gaze, Jared approached Agnes and positioned himself behind her. With the

necklace in hand, he gently placed it around her neck, saying. “Darling. I’m sorry. I wanted to surprise

you, but it ended up causing a misunderstanding. My bad.”

Jared’s voice was so tender that it filled the other ladies present with envy. What made this woman so

special that she had Mr. Whitfield wrapped around her finger? In that moment, Agnes was deeply

moved.

She looked down at the ruby necklace around her neck, her eyes welling up, “Why didn’t you tell me

sooner?”

Someone in the crowd shouted, “Kiss, kiss!”

And then almost everyone joined in the chant.

Jared gave a small smile, then cupped Agnes face and planted a deep kiss….

All this was seen by Mamie, her fingers clenched tightly.

Finally, she turned and left.

For the rest of the time, Agnes was showered with envy and praise

She went from being accused of a thief to the most envied woman in the world.

But Agnes didn’t see Mamie again.

By the time she left the exhibition, it was already 10 pm.

Agnes had many questions, but didn’t know where to start.

When she got into the car, Mamie suddenly appeared.

Her car parked next to Jared’s.

Mamie walked over, gave Agnes a disdainful glance, and then the ruby necklace around her neck.

Then she calmly said to Jared, “Jared, we need to talk.”

Jared said, “Go ahead.”

Mamie said, “Even if we’re not lovers, can’t I say something? Jared, the more cautious you are, the

more it shows there’s no basic trust between you two.”

Agnes said, “Go ahead, I’ll wait for you in the car”

Then Jared and Mamie left.

But Agnes got out of the car and followed them as soon as they turned their backs.

She still found tonight’s event a bit off.

She knew eavesdropping was wrong, but she followed them anyway.

Mamie and Jared stopped in a garden outside the exhibition hall.

There was a big rock in the garden.

To avoid making any noise, Agnes took off her heels.

She tiptoed behind the rock barefoot.

She clearly heard Mamie’s voice, “What’s the deal with the necklace?”
