Heartstrings on Fire (Agnes and Jared) novel Chapter 255

Chapter 255 

Jared didn’t hesitate: “I know what Mamie is like. Although she can be a bit bossy and stubborn at times, she wouldn’t do something as low as this.” 

Agnes suddenly laughed. 

Just as she thought, Jared chose to believe Mamie without a second thought. 

She didn’t need to ask any more questions. 

She didn’t have any solid proof that Mamie had set her up. 

But the reason Jared trusted Mamie was because he knew her. He believed she hadn’t stolen the necklace because “she didn’t have the guts”, 

Agnes took off the necklace from around her neck and handed it to Jared “This thing is too precious, I can’t accept it.” 

Jared’s face turned cold: “What are you doing? I bought it for you. If I don’t give it to you, who the hell should I give it to?” 

“Whoever you want to give it to.” 

Jared looked at Agnes quietly, then said coldly: “Fine.” 

On the way home, they both remained silent. 

Agnes didn’t know what Jared was thinking. 

And she didn’t want to know. 

Jared said he would investigate, so she would wait for his investigation. 

When they got home, Agnes went straight to the guest room. 

In the days that followed, Agnes was swamped with work and had little to rest 

Even though she and Jared lived under the same roof, they hardly saw each other. 

And when they did, they didn’t chat 

On Christmas Day, “The Magical Romance of Cinderella”, starring Agnes and Justin, premiered. 

The show’s ratings skyrocketed on the first day, reaching the highest in its time slot. 

The unique magical theme combined with a young idol drama setting and Justin’s popularity immediately caused a huge stir 

The next morning. Agnes woke up to find her name all over the news headlines. 

This was what they called instant fame. 

The popularity of “The Magical Romance of Cinderella” severely disrupted Agnes’ life 

Every time she went to school, she was mobbed by fans. 

Even in the quietest library, crowds of people nearly caused chaos just to catch a glimpse of her. 

Adding to the fact that she would run into reporters everywhere, Agnes could hardly go to school anymore. 

Luckily, all her classes had ended and she only needed to finish writing her thesis 

Agnes had no choice but to take a two-month leave of absence, in the hope that her life would return to normal once the buzz around the show had died down. 

During those days, she was constantly busy with press conferences, commercial events, and interviews. 

Sometimes, Agnes didn’t go home for a week, staying in an apartment arranged by the company. 

Jared called her every day, but they only talked briefly 

At some point, Agnes felt a rift growing between them,
