Chapter 433
Agnes lifted her head, staring straight into Jared’s eyes with resolve. “There’s a choice to be made, Jared. It’s either
your sister or our marriage. If you choose me, you’ll have to cut all ties with Alyssa, never see her again. Even if our
relationship with her reaches a point of no return, you can’t step in. Can you do that?”
Jared’s face didn’t change.
But Agnes noticed his eyes becoming complex when she mentioned cutting ties with Alyssa.
Jared just stood there, silent.
Their eyes met, with the only sound in the room being the ticking of the clock hanging on the wall.
Agnes already knew the answer.
She despised Alyssa, considered her an unforgivable sinner.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtBut for Jared, Alyssa was the most cherished relative.
Agnes knew Jared wouldn’t agree, which was why she made such a proposition.
Jared remained silent, not uttering a word.
Finally, Agnes gave a soft chuckle. “I don’t want to put you in a tough spot. So, parting ways is the best option,
right? I don’t want to leave you torn between me and your sister.”
Jared’s voice turned cold. “Are you saying… you want a divorce, for my sake?”
A smile appeared on Agnes’s face. “You can take it that way. You’re a smart man, you know our relationship is
beyond repair. I can’t stand my hatred for her, and you can’t cut ties with her. That’s the harsh reality. It’s like fate
is playing tricks on us. You’re strong, but fate is stronger.”
Agnes said calmly, “Jared, this is between me and Alyssa. Unfortunately, it has affected your marriage. I’m sorry,
but I won’t project my hatred for her onto you. At least not now. Our love shouldn’t be worn down to nothing by
time. So, let’s part on good terms.”
Jared looked at the woman in front of him, her composure unsettling.
She said it affected his marriage, and she was sorry, as if she was an outsider.
But wasn’t his marriage also hers?
“Agnes, if you want to blame someone, blame me. I won’t divorce you.”
Jared said this with firm conviction, word by word.
Jared moved closer to Agnes, close enough to hear each other’s breath. “Agnes, I’ll never divorce in this lifetime. If
you want us to torture each other, let it be a lifetime. If you’re in hell, I’m willing to go with you. Because a world
without you is hell to me.”
Agnes was almost shocked.
But looking into Jared’s eyes, she saw not only pain but also deep tenderness.

But all she felt was a heart–wrenching sorrow about to burst.
Agnes pushed Jared away. “If you’re looking for trouble, be my guest.”
With that, Agnes left the room.
Agnes was heartbroken to the core.
It wasn’t because of lack of love.
It was the harsh reality standing between them like an endless river. The rapid current in the middle, they could
only walk along the banks, looking at each other, but unable to get closer.
Agnes cried her heart out in the taxi.
The driver didn’t understand what had happened. He thought this young girl had a breakup, comforted her for a
while, and even refused to take her money at the
end.
By the time she got back to the Pritchard’s mansion, it was already evening.
