Heartstrings on Fire (Agnes and Jared) novel 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 explaining 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. 

He’s 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 doesn’t fully trust Agnes, he’d rather shell out 20 million bucks to keep the peace! 

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 Mamie 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 or 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.
