Chapter 21
Agnes said, “He’s really not my boyfriend, so you won’t get anywhere with me. You won’t be able to
score an exclusive interview with Jared.”
Upon hearing Agnes‘ confirmation, Jenny felt somewhat relieved.
She had gone through hell and high water to snatch Elton from Agnes. If Agnes was already chasing
after Jared, wouldn’t that mean she had done Agnes a favor?
Jenny said, “I can handle the interview. But since our boss wants us to work together, I hope you won’t
let your personal feelings interfere with our work. This task has been fully entrusted to me, so you gotta
play by my rules.”
Agnes didn’t take it to heart, because only Agnes knew how busy Jared was. A guy who sometimes
had to travel to four different countries in a day, how could he possibly spare time for an interview with
a small school media outlet?
And that was how the first day of school ended.

read “Off to Melbourne for three days.”
Agnes heaved a sigh of relief, but strangely, felt a tinge of sadness. Thinking about what happened last
night, it still felt like a stab in the heart.
Preston called that night, telling her to prepare for Tim’s birthday party in two days. Agnes flatly
declined, saying she had already passed the invitation to Beatrice. He sighed but didn’t say anything
more.
After hanging up, Agnes stared blankly at the note Jared left.
If Tim’s birthday party was in two days, and Jared was going to be away for three days, would Jared be
there?

If Jared wasn’t there, how could the Whitfield family use this opportunity to set him up on a blind date?
Or was Jared deliberately avoiding this arrangement by going on a business trip?
In the next two days, Jenny tried every trick in the book to contact the secretary department of the Tim
Group, but all she got was a no
Jared was not accepting any media interviews.
During the Journalism Society meeting, Lily advised her to drop Jared and choose another task. Jenny,
however, insisted, “I know that Tim’s birthday party is tomorrow night. I have an invitation. As long as
I’m there and see Jared, I’ll find a way to convince him to accept our interview.”
Everyone was surprised. Tim’s birthday party was a family gathering at their mansion, the Whitfield
Manor. There were rumors that the main purpose of the party was to set Jared up on a blind date. All
the young ladies from the well–knowh families in Willowbrook Town had received invitations. Nobody
expected Jenny to have one.
They didn’t know much about Jenny’s background, only that she and Agnes were close. Agnes was a
genuine rich girl, so her family must have been well–off too. No wonder she had the guts to propose
interviewing Jared.
Then someone asked, “Agnes, did you get an invitation?”
Agnes said, “No.”

Jenny immediately replied, “Don’t worry, I’ll take Agnes with me tomorrow.”
Agnes didn’t expect Jenny to have gotten an invitation to Tim’s birthday party. It must have been Elton
who helped her.
At this thought, Agnes felt annoyed. She didn’t want to attend the party, otherwise, she wouldn’t have
given her invitation to Beatrice so easily.
But the next day after class, Jenny stopped Agnes who was about to leave, “Pick up the photography
and interview equipment at The Journalism Society. We’re going to the Whitfield Manor later.”
Agnes replied, “I’m not going. I don’t have an invitation, and I won’t be allowed in.”
Jenny confidently pulled out an invitation and waved it in front of Agnes, “Don’t worry, I have an
invitation and I can get you in. Plus, we’re both responsible for this interview. You gotta help me.”
Agnes still coldly said, “I don’t want to go.”
Suddenly, Jenny pulled out several photos from her bag, “How about these photos then? Do you want
them?”
What Agnes saw was a photo of her with Elton.
