Heartstrings On Fire ( Jared and Anita )
Chapter 253

Chapter 253

Agnes wasn’t daydreaming

She’s been listening to their conversation all this time.

In their chat, Jared never considered another possibility

That Mamie might be setting her up

Jared said he’d get to the bottom of it and give Mamie an explanation.

Why the hell does he owe Mamie an explanation?

Agnes is the one being victimized here.

It’s most likely that Mamie set her up, so why is he still explaning things to her?

Jared insisted that he trusts Agnes’s integrity, but his only evidence in her favor is that “Agnes isn’t capable of pulling something like this off

He bought that necklace and kept it secret, which means he’s still having doubts.

Hes doubting if she really did steal, if she tainted the Whitfield family’s reputation, and if she set up Mamie.

Otherwise, he could ve just launched a thorough investigation and made the results public.

Because he doesnt fully trust Agnes, he d rather shell out 20 million bucks to keep the peacel

Should Agnes feel happy or sad about Jared’s willingness to foot the bill for her without hesitation?

Agnes’s mood was sinking, feeling like a wave of sadness was washing over her

Agnes stood there for a while.

Soon after, her phone rang

It was Jared calling.

Agnes suddenly didn’t want to pick up.

Because Agnes didn’t know what to say

Should she confront him?

Agnes suddenly felt a little scared.

Before, Jared had always protected her in front of Mamie

But then, Mamie was just being a brat, obviously bullying her.

Jared was like a hero defending the weak.

But that didn’t involve the fundamental trust.

Now, Agnes was having doubts

If he had to choose between Marie and her, who would Jared choose?

Would he choose to trust Mamie without hesitation?

Actually, she already saw Jared’s answer just now.

All this time, Agnes overlooked that Jared and Mamie have been best buds since they were kids.

Even if they don’t have romantic feelings anymore, the understanding and trust between them still exists.

Maybe, is Mamie using this?

The phone rang again, Agnes hesitated whether to answer it not.

But the phone screen suddenly went black

The phone ran out of juice

Agnes finally breathed a sigh of relief.

This spared her from making a decision.

When Agnes returned to the parking lot, Jared’s car was already gone.

It was late into the night, and Agnes had no idea what time it was.

Dressed in her formal attire, Agnes aimlessly wandered the streets.

Thankfully it was late at night and the streets were deserted.

Otherwise, she would’ve drawn a lot of weird looks.

Agnes didn’t know how long she walked, finally she sat down at the edge of a flower bed,

Agnes felt lost, unable to describe her feelings.

“You’re really gutsy, walking around at night with such an expensive necklace on.”

Suddenly, a male voice floated down from above

Unapier 253

Agnes looked up and saw it was Ivan.

Agnes was a bit surprised: “What are you doing here?”

Ivan replied: “I just came out and bumped into you.”

Agnes looked around and realized she had unwittingly walked to the Century Building

Agnes forced a smile: “What a coincidence.

Ivan’s voice was gentle and inviting: “Get in the car, I’ll drive you home.”
