Chapter 241

Agnes made a beeline for the lounge.

The lounge door was wide open, with only Jared and Alyssa inside.

Concerned about Alyssa’s injury, Agnes approached her and asked. “You okay, girl? I heard you got hurt. Where did you get banged up?” Observing Alyssa’s hand wrapped in gauze, Agnes reached out to check on it, but to her surprise, Alyssa pulled her hand away and responded distantly. “I’m fine.”

Feeling a bit awkward, Agnes straightened up and withdrew her hand, glancing briefly at Jared, who seemed to wear a slight frown. Just then, Ryder walked into the
