Chapter 519

Agnes furrowed her brows, her voice unconsciously laden with reproach, “Why did you have to go so hard on him? I know you and Sean used to be in the intemational special forces, but he’s just an ordinary guy. Couldn’t you have been a bit gentler?”

Kearney found it both exasperating and amusing, “Septima, the guy was trying to hurt you and here you are worrying about whether he’s injured?” Agnes fell silent all of a sudden.

She hadn’t expected Jared to get so worked up.

Because of Jared’s reaction, Agnes was even more certain.

She absolutely couldn’t let Jared find out about Nocturne.

If he did, it would certainly lead to a nasty fight, and Agnes wasn’t sure she could win.

Keamey dropped Agnes off at the Pritchard family’s villa./

As the car came to a stop, Kearney spoke up, “You gonna be okay here on your own? Want me to stick around tonight?”

Agnes shook her head with a smile, “I know you’re busy. Go on home, this is my place, I’ll be fine.”

Kearney nodded, “Call me if you need anything.”

Agnes got out of the car and headed towards the villa.

Kearney drove off.
