Chapter 720
Agnes barely had time to find her footing, and she toppled right into someone’s arms.
Just by the man’s scent, she knew it was Jared.
Agnes cursed in her mind. She hadn’t expected Jared to barge in and wreck everything at this very moment.
Everyone present seemed to gasp in shock. They had no idea what was happening
“Agnes, I won’t allow it. You’re not marrying anyone else. Jared’s angry roar echoed through the hall.
Just then, all the lights in the hall came on. Everything was laid bare in front of the quests, and all people put on
shocked looks.
Some French guests didn’t understand what Jared had just said, and they were busy gossiping and asking their

Agnes felt like her heart sank, thinking, “Jared, can’t you just let me play out this scene in peace? How are we
supposed to wrap this up now?”
Agnes turned her gaze to Kearney, who was stoic, standing there with no discernible expression, but there was a
glint in his eyes behind his glasses
Jared saw the shock on Agnes‘ face, and her eyes searching for Kearney. His chest was filled with even more anger.
At this moment, all she cared about was him and his feelings? A raging fire seemed to burn in Jared’s chest. He had
already lost his sanity, so he didn’t mind going a little crazier.
Jared wrapped one arm around Agnes‘ waist, and with the other hand, he held the back of her head and kissed her
passionately again.
There were gasps of surprise all around, and countless murmurs filled with confusion.
Agnes had her eyes wide open. Even with years of experience in handling sudden events as a reporter, she was
taken aback. Now, seeing Jared’s face so close to hers, and the lights above her head… Agnes‘ mind was a mess.
It was a long time before Jared let go of Agnes.
Agnes finally reacted, pushing Jared away and said in anger, “Jared, do you know what you’re doing?”
Jared’s voice was cold, but he was still holding Agnes‘ hand, “I know perfectly well.”
Agnes was furious, “Why are you doing this, do you enjoy causing trouble for me?”
“I won’t let you marry someone else.”
“What right do you have to stop me? Who are you to me?”
“I’m your husband”

“Agnes, the divorce papers I gave you four years ago were fake, they have no legal effect, and we never officially
divorced. Technically, you’re still my lawful wife, Agnes.”
Agnes was taken aback, she didn’t quite understand what Jared was saying. But now, with all eyes on them…
Everything was ruined.
Agnes pushed Jared away, lifted her dress, and ran out of the hall. Jared chased after her. At this moment, the
Count and Countess Alexandra had seen everything.
Valeria was also present. Everything that had just transpired had taken them by surprise.
Countess Alexandra looked at Agnes with puzzlement, then turned to ask Valeria, “Valeria, what on earth is going
on?”
Valeria had a sincere look of apology on her face, “My lady, I’m sorry, there’s something I didn’t tell you. I’ve called
off my engagement with Mr. Whitfield, and the lady who just ran out, she’s his ex–wife, the one he’s been unable to
forget.“
