Chapter 788 

With Jared around. If Yolanda were to confront Agnes, it might tamish her reputation. 

With no other choice, Yolanda handed Agnes her press pass from her pocket. “Tve been looking for you. You’re so careless. Lucky it was me who found this, or the would be some serious consequences.” 

Agnes took her press pass, her eyes narrowing slightly. Thank you, Director” 

Agnes looked up and met Jared’s inquisitive gaze. 

Jared asked. “Ms. Pritchard, how did you get in without your press ID?” 

Agnes chuckled, “Well, I ran into a friend who got me in 

Agnes didn’t want to lie to Jared, and besides, once the news broke the next day. Jared would be sure to know the truth. 

Knowing Jared as she did, she knew his jealousy would not take this lightly. 

So, she might as well confess now 

Jared’s smile deepened. He asked, “Might this friend be Mr. Justin?” 

Agnes could feel a cold shiver down her spine from Jared’s teasing smile. 

But she had to swallow her pride and say. “Mr. Whitfield, you re perceptive” 

The atmosphere around Jared quickly turned tense His gaze flashed dangerously. 

Yolanda, standing to the side, wished she could tear Agnes apart 

She had finally found a chance to talk to Jared alone, only for Agnes to ruin it intentionally 

And what were these two even doing? 

They were clearly flirting. 

Yolanda moved closer to Jared and said, “Mr. Whitfield, about the press release, I think we need to discuss it further. Let’s go to the conference room.” 

Yolanda had spent a great deal of effort to arrange a meeting with Jared. 

She had hoped to use this opportunity to get closer to him 

She couldn’t let Agnes ruin it now 

Seeing the change in Jared’s demeanor, Agnes knew it was time to leave. 

With an understanding look. Agnes said, “Mr. Whitfield, Director, I should get going now! 

Now that she had her press pass, Agnes was ready to leave. But then Jared reached out and grabbed her by the arm at the last moment. In front of Yolanda, he led her away to a corridor in the safety passage. Yolanda stomped her foot in frustration 

Finally, they stopped in an empty hallway. 

Agnes sighed, “Hey, you’re making things difficult for me.” 

Finally, Jared turned around. “Why didn’t you call me when you couldn’t get in without your press pass?” 

Agnes hurriedly answered, “I didn’t have time, okay?” 

Agnes explanation was not at all convincing to Jared. 

“So it’s fine to be in a scandal with Justin, but the minute I’m involved, I’m treated like the plague? Agnes, I want an explanation.” 

Agnes was backed against the wall, literally and figuratively. She patiently responded, “I didn’t have time to call you. When I was hesitating, Justin suddenly appeared and dragged me onto the red carpet. What could I do? I was pushed into a comer. Stop being so jealous.” 

Agnes cunningly shifted the blame onto Justin. 

Jared leaned against the wall, looking down at Agnes with a stern gaze. It didn’t seem like she was lying 

Jared’s voice was filled with dissatisfaction, “What did that peacock say to you?”
