Chapter 166

Shawn felt Agnes’s eyes boring into him, her gaze so intense it left him quaking in his boots. Fear was NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.

etched all over his face as he stammered, “Agnes, don’t kid around like this. Jared will have me killed.”

Agnes held her stare for a moment longer before her eyes drifted past him, towards the entrance of the

private room.

Just then, the door swung open. Jared and Aaron sauntered in.

Agnes sprang to her feet, striding past Shawn towards Jared She closed the gap between them in a

heartbeat, planting a kiss on Jared’s lips.

Cheers and whistles erupted in the room. Every guy there breathed a sigh of relief. Jared’s timing was

impeccable.

Mamie had said any guy in the room, but she hadn’t specified who.

It was clear Mamie’s aim was to stir up trouble. Everyone knew Jared’s territorial nature. His wife was

off limits. Rumor had it, he personally stepped in whenever his wife had to shoot intimate scenes.

But instead of causing a stir, they all got a front seat to a lovey-dovey show.

Jared was taken aback at first. He didn’t expect the usually reserved Agnes to make such a bold move

in public. But he didn’t push her away.

Shawn approached with his phone, quickly explaining. “Jared, play along for a minute. Agnes and

Mamie are playing a game.”

Jared’s brow furrowed, but he quickly caught on and played along. As the kiss went on, he even started

to take the lead.

“Time’s up!” Shawn announced, holding up his phone, “A full minute, not a second less.”

Only then did Agnes pull away from Jared. She was a little dazed, her cheeks flamed up like ripe

tomatoes.

Jared wrapped his arm around her waist, whispering, “Careful, babe.”

Agnes shot him a fierce glare. They were only playing a game, while pretending was all they needed to

do. But Jared’s kiss left her reeling. She felt like jelly, her mind in a

fog.

The crowd in the room was stunned. The unapproachable and aloof Jared, publicly kissing his wife for

a full minute. And he seemed to enjoy it, like he hadn’t had his fill yet.

The rumors were true. Jared really did spoil his wife rotten.

Jared was now leading Agnes towards the couch.

Mamie’s face darkened. She didn’t expect Jared to come back just in time. She knew Jared was a

stickler for rules, and he wouldn’t allow his woman to get cozy with another man. But this backfired on

her, giving them a chance to flaunt their love.

Thinking of the sight of them kissing, Mamie’s hand tightened into a fist as she coolly declared, “One

more round!”

The room fell silent for a second before Shawn excitedly ran back.

This was getting interesting. The new flame and the old love were squaring off. Who would Jared

choose?

Everyone was enjoying the spectacle. After all, Jared was the golden boy, and his life was as precise

and flawless as computer data. He had never encountered a problem he couldn’t solve. So his friends,

who had grown up with him but always lived in his shadow, were more than happy to stir the pot!
