Chapter 741 

Tim continued, “Ryder’s back home too, you might want to see his reaction when he finds out Jared and Agnes are remarried. Ryder’s a man of few words, but he’s got depths you can’t fathom. He’s got the same stubborn streak as Jared. Do you think he’ll just walk away? Are you willing to watch these brothers tear each other apart over a woman?” 

Tims words were stark, but they rang true to Alyssa. It was the harsh reality, and it was her greatest worry. 

Ryder was not one to back down. He had kept his relationship with Agnes and her child hidden so well over the years, and he had even dedicated his entire career to saving the child. His affection for Agnes was clear as day in his eyes. 

Alyssa dreaded to think what his reaction would be upon seeing Jared and Agnes together now. 

Tim added, “It hurts either way If Jared’s happy, Ryder’s hurt. And if Ryder’s happy, Jared’s hurt. Might as well let them both bear the pain.” 

When Agnes entered, she was calm. She had felt nervbus on the way over, but now, it was as if she had already walked into the gallows. 

She was at peace 

As Agnes ascended the stairs with Nocturne, she saw Alyssa standing on the second–floor landing, watching her quietly. Her expression was complex, a surface of apathy while a storm raged beneath. 

“Alyssa Agnes called out. 

Alyssa’s face shifted. The last time she was home, Agnes had looked at her with cold, complex emotions. But now, it was different, and she had greeted 

her 

To be honest, it had been four years since she had heard her greeting her. 

Ever since they had come clean with each other four years ago, Agnes had been avoiding her. 

So, hearing Agnes call her name now took her aback. 

Alyssa felt a mix of emotions, “You’re back.” 

Alyssa’s expression was cool, as if she was about to turn and leave. 

But Agnes stopped her, “Alyssa, there’s something I need to tell you today.” 

Alyssa turned to look at Agnes, “Then come with me.” 

Alyssa led Agnes to her room. 

Turning to face her, Alyssa said, “Agnes, I don’t approve of you and Jared being together. You’ve hated me for so long, disappeared for four years, I don’t believe that you can just forgive and forget and make peace with Jared. If you want revenge, come at me. Don’t hurt Jared anymore. You have no idea how much he’s suffered these years. You’re going to break him.” 

Agnes suddenly lowered her head, “Alyssa, I’m sorry. I misunderstood you back then. It was my mistake. But we were both fooled by Laura.” 

Alyssa was taken aback, “What did you say?” 

“Alyssa, I need to confirm something. Did you bribe the officials and then frame my mother?” 

Alyssa quickly denied, “I didn’t do that. I only donated two million when she was in desperate need of money.” 

“Yes, my mother was short on money, so you thought she took the bribe and her reputation was ruined. You thought that money was what killed my mother and you were willing to take the blame. But the truth is not what you think.” 

Alyssa was surprised Was there more to the story?
