Heartstrings on Fire (Agnes and Jared)

Chapter 229

Beatrice couldn’t contain her excitement as she noticed Jared’s face growing more senous. She had

luck on her side when, years ago, Agnes was sorting out photos and she managed to secretly keep

one for herself.

Originally, she had intended to use it as leverage to threaten Agnes, but she hadn’t anticipated its use

in this moment

With a tinge of regret and nostalgia in her voice, Beatrice began spinning a tale, “You know, Agnes and

Elton were victims of a cruel twist of fate.

If only her fnend hadn’t stolen Elton away, they might have been married by now. They were incredibly

close, Elton used to visit our house frequently, even staying overnight in Agnes’s room when he didn’t

go home. We all thought they were destined to be together, but then…”

As expected. Jared’s expression darkened with each passing second. What Beatrice was saying

weighed heavily on him, and unbeknownst to her, Agnes was witnessing the whole exchange.

What nonsense was Beatrice spewing?

Sure, Elton Taylor did come over a lot, but even when he stayed the night, he definitely never slept in

her room.

Through all these years, from their childish youth to their clueless adolescence, they never crossed any

boundaries. Beatrice was just stirning the pot, trying to get Jared’s hackles up.

Her relationship with Jared already had a Ryder Whitfield shaped obstacle, and now there was an Elton

too. Agnes scoffed in her mind. This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.

Then she walked over, setting the fruit plate on the table.

She took the photo from Beatrice’s hand.

Agnes tore the photo into pieces, then threw them into a nearby trash can.

Beatrice was stunned, she even forgot for a second that Jared was right there, yelling but, “Agnes,

what the hell are you doing?”

It was only after she spoke that she realized Jared was right next to her.

She quickly changed her tone, “What are you doing this for? Jared’s not that petty, you don’t have to go

to such extremes to prove your innocence. Right, Jared?” Beatrice was thrilled seeing this

She knew there must be trouble in paradise between Agnes and Jared.

Because during dinner, Agnes didn’t say a word

Jared was poker-faced, showing no signs of emotional change.

But Agnes was a terrible actress, anyone could tell there were issues between the two

If not now, when would she have a better chance to stir things up?

Agnes said coldly, “Beatrice, it’s none of your business to meddle in our affairs. Do you think he’s some

kind of fool to fall for your cheap tricks?”

After saying that, she turned to Jared, “I need to talk to you.”

After that, Agnes turned and left.

Beatrice was fuming. She didn’t expect Agnes to be so ruthless in clearing up the misunderstanding.

She quickly explained to Jared, “Jared, I wasn’t trying to stir things up. She’s just being overly

suspicious, always thinking the worst.”

Jared, however, didn’t pay Beatrice any mind.

He followed Agnes straight upstairs.

After Agnes entered the room and closed the door, she turned around and asked, “Jared, what are you

here for?”

Jared replied, “Didn’t you say you had something to tell me?”

“Jared, I have nothing to say to you, I just don’t want to see Beatrice stirring up trouble”

“Why do you care about that troublemaker?”

Agnes was taken aback

So Jared knew what was going on

Jared said coldly, “You might not have anything to say to me, but I have something to say to you.”
