Just like everyone else, Agnes whipped her head towards the door.
And there he was, Elton
Elton saw Agnes as well
Earlier on, Jenny had called him about get together with her classmates and asked him to pick her up.
He didn’t want to go, but Jenny mentioned that Agnes would be there. So, he decided to show up
Deep down, Elton knew that there was no way in hell Agnes could ever forgive him.
But damn, it’s been a long time since he last saw Agnes. He missed her.
Agnes instantly frowned when she saw Elton. She should’ve known. Jenny being all generous today
was just a plot to piss her off.
Jenny was already got up and about walking over to the entrance, took Elton’s arm affectionately and
introduced him to everyone. “This is my boyfriend, Elton.”
Everyone there was majoring in journalism and knew that Elton was the heir to their family
conglomerate. He was the golden goose everyone in the entertainment industry wanted to know. His
love scandals would occasionally make the entertainment news headlines, but he once cleared the air
publicly, stating that he had a childhood sweetheart. Who would’ve thought that Jenny was Elton’s so–
called childhood sweetheart? All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
Elton’s gaze, however, was still fixed on Agnes. Jenny shook his arm, “Elton, these are all my
Journalism Society mates. Say hi.”
It was as if Elton snapped back to reality, pulling his arm away from Jenny’s grasp.
Then he walked towards Agnes.
“Agnes, how have you been?” Elton suddenly asked.
Everyone was amazed. Elton didn’t even glance at his girlfriend. Instead, he was saying hi to Agnes.
Agnes‘ mood plummeted the moment Elton appeared.
Someone beside her curiously asked, “Elton, you know Agnes too?”
At that moment, Jenny sauntered, linking arms with Elton and said, “Me, Elton, Agnes, we’ve known
each other since we were kids. We’ve been friends for many years.” Everyone seemed to understand
now. Agnes and Jenny were close friends.
So it made sense for Agnes to know Jenny’s boyfriend, and Agnes herself was a rich heiress.
Agnes didn’t say anything, picked up her bag and was about to leave. She said to everyone, “I have to
go back first.”
Agnes left in a hurry. Elton wanted to follow her but was held back by Jenny
Jenny leaned into Elton’s ear and whispered, “If you chase after her now and stir up a scandal, I
guarantee Agnes will hate you even more.”
Elton glanced back at Jenny, but she had a smile on her face. She gently said, “Elton, you’re so busy,
but you still came to pick me up. You’re so good to me.”
Everyone watched this seemingly perfect couple, feeling a pang of envy.
Once Agnes stepped out of the restaurant, she felt awful.
For some reason, she missed Jared terribly. Was he still working overtime?”
Would he be coming back to Maplewood Manor tonight?
Just as Agnes was contemplating whether to call Jared, she saw a text from him,
[Melbourne, three days]
Upon seeing the message, Agnes felt a surge of disappointment. Jared was going on a business trip
again.
Agnes went straight back to Maplewood Manor. The mansion was huge but felt empty.
The next day.
Jared’s interview magazine was out.
Including the video of Jared’s live interview, which was uploaded on the school’s video website.
Suddenly, Lakeside College’s website was flooded with visits due to this interview video, even crashing
at one point.
