Chapter 718 

The mere mention of Kearney caused a scowl to darken Jared’s face. 

Jared remained silent as Valeria continued, “But don’t say I didn’t warn you, Jared. Don’t push things too far. The Count and Countess Alexandra 

are watching closely, and they despise deceit. If they discover that we’re not really married, it could become quite troublesome.” 

Jared frowned, replying, “Don’t worry, I’ll keep my actions in check. I won’t put you in a difficult situation” 

Valeria didn’t say any more. 

On the other side of the room, Agnes spotted Kearney, who was standing with Count and Countess Alexandra. 

Their little daughter, Bella, was also standing by his side. 

Their gazes were all directed at Agnes. 

Count Alexandra and his wife wore expressions of confusion, while Bella’s face was filled with anger. 

Agnes felt as though a stone had been placed on her heart. 

Had they seen her dancing and kissing Jared in the dimly lit ballroom? 

Kearney had told her that the Alexandras were great romantics. 

So she had to play the role of Kearney’s fiancée. 

Yet, now, his supposed bride–to–be was seen dancing and kissing another man under the watchful eyes of the crowd. 

What would this make people think? 

Agnes couldn’t help but feel that she had messed up. 

If her actions messed up Kearney’s business plans, she would be to blame. 

Agnes‘ steps unconsciously slowed as she moved towards them. 

A sense of guilt and fear welled up inside her. 

But she continued to walk towards them, putting on a brave face. 

Just then, the lights in the grand hall dimmed again. 

Caught off guard, the crowd was thrown into chaos. 

Then, with a click, a spotlight shone down from the ceiling, illuminating Agnes. 

She stopped in her tracks, startled and confused. 

What on earth was happening? 

The room was enveloped in darkness, with only her standing in the bright spotlight. 

She took a couple of steps forward, only to realize that the beam of light followed her. 

A premonition formed in her mind, and her heart pounded in her chest. 

Everyone was hidden in the dark, only she was in the blinding spotlight. She felt incredibly uncomfortable. 

Then, the sound of a cello playing Because I Love You filled the room. 

The room quieted down as if by a mutual agreement. 

Only soft whispers could be heard 

Even Agnes, who was often slow on the uptake, understood what was happening. 

Another spotlight appeared, illuminating Kearney. 

It all came back to her 

Kearney had mentioned before the banquet that he might be staging a proposal. 

Of course, it was a tactic to leave a lasting impression on the Alexandras. 

But upon arrival, she had run into Jared and had completely forgotten about it. 

Or maybe the Alexandras had indeed seen her dance with Jared in the dark 

Perhaps Kearney was trying to save face with this grand gesture. 

The crowd seemed to anticipate a romantic proposal. 

The hall buzzed with excitement. 

There were whistles, cheers, screams of delight, and envious sighs from women. 

Everyone was watching, and Agnes stood rooted to the spot.

Ironically, despite being surrounded by darkness, Agnes could only see Jared.
