Chapter 727 

Agnes was utterly bewildered. 

She picked up her smartphone to check the time, only to find several missed calls from Jared. 

It was already 3 AM

What on earth could Jared be calling about at this hour? 

Still half–asleep, Agnes slid off her bed and dialed his number. 

As she reached the door, the call connected. 

“Hello?” she murmured, opening the door as she did. 

To her shock, Jared was standing right outside, phone in hand. 

Any trace of sleepiness was instantly banished from Agnes. 

“What are you doing here?” she asked, incredulous 

Jared simply stepped inside, announcing. 1 was worried you’d run off. so I thought I’d come keep an eye on you.” 

Agnes rolled her eyes, closing the door behind him “And where exactly do you think I could run off to?” 

Jared turned around and pulled her close, wrapping his arms around her waist. “I missed you.” 

Agnes was speechless. “We haven’t even been apart for a full day!” 

Jared leaned in, his lips brushing her hair. His voice was a drowsy murmur. “Is that so? Felt like forever to me.” 

Agnes regretted letting him in She was exhausted, and now she felt like she was about to collapse. 

Eventually, she fell asleep, vaguely aware of Jared’s soft kisses on her cheeks throughout the night. 

She didn’t wake up until 8 AM, at which point she realized with a start, “Oh no.” 

Jared was still lying next to her, his arms still wrapped around her waist. 

Awoken by the commotion, he grumbled like a petulant child. “Can’t we sleep in a bit longer? Why get up so early?” 

Agnes replied, “Today’s the second trial for Laura.” 

Jared quickly got out of bed, and they both headed to the courthouse. 

New evidence had been presented in Laura’s case. 

It was related to Hammer’s attempted murder. 

Agnes was shocked when Laura confessed in court 

She was sentenced to 18 years in prison. 

Hammer, on the other hand, was sentenced to 8 years for attempted murder. 

Agnes sat in the front row of the audience, close enough to see Laura’s expression clearly. 

However, Laura remained expressionless throughout, appearing completely desolate 

Agnes knew the truth 

Laura wasn’t foolish enough to incite Hammer’s murder it was all Beatrice’s doing 

Laura, who had always been clever, had been undone by her own daughter’s recklessness 

And she had taken the blame for everything Beatrice had done 

if there was any shred of humanity left in her, it was her maternal love for Beatrice 

As Laura was led away, she seemed to glance in Agnes direction 

There wasn’t a hint of hope in her eyes, only despair 

Agnes felt that this was karma 

When they left the courthouse, Agnes felt a strange mix of relief, sadness, and happiness 

It was as if a heavy weight she had carned for years had suddenly been lifted 

Jared put his arm around her shoulders I can’t Leave we were separated for four years because of that wicked woman. Eighteen years aren’t enough to quell the anger in my heart” 

Agnes asked, “Did you make her take the fall for Beatrice?” 

Jared glanced at Agnes Your parents‘ lives can’t be redeemed by just eight years. Once Laure is out in 18 years, she will be a helpless old woman, lost and alone Nothing could be more frightening Agnes, we’ve finally avenged your parents. I hope they can finally rest in peace.”
