When Kerri and Brayden showed up, they overheard Agnes and Jared talking about getting divorced.
When they heard the word divorce, their faces immediately dropped.
They thought it was just a small quarrel between husband and wife, but they didn't think it would be serious enough to make them divorce. They used to be so sweet together.
When Agnes was filming in S City, Jared even contemplated moving his whole office there.
He got a good ribbing from his buddies for that for a while.
Once they got into the house, Kerri went straight into Agnes' bedroom.
She directly asked the doubts in her heart, "Agnes, what happened? Things have gotten so bad that you guys are talking about divorce? That's a huge deal for any couple, let alone the Whitfield family. Do you realize what that means?"
Kerri knew all too well about this.
She had tried many ways to divorce Brayden before.
Agnes had a pained expression on her face.
She anxiously ran her fingers through her hair, "I know it has nothing to do with him, but he's Alyssa's brother. Even if we don’t divorce now, Alyssa won't let someone who poses a threat to her be her brother's wife. Our relationship is beyond repair, Alyssa and I are enemies now. I don’t want Jared to be caught in the crossfire."
"Kerri, I feel so helpless. All this time, I've been thinking, if Alyssa really did kill my mum, what should I do? But up till now, the only solution I can think of is divorcing Jared. This happened so many years ago, and all the evidence has been destroyed. The Whitfield family won't let their daughter take the fall for her 'carelessness'. And my mum killed herself due to depression, so legally, I can't punish Alyssa. But I know the truth now. I can't just let this slide. Kerri, what should I do?"
