Heartstrings on Fire (Agnes and Jared) novel Chapter 317

Chapter 317 

Jared said, “You think you’re good enough for me?” 

Mariela’s fingers froze suddenly on her shoulder strap. 

She looked up at Jared, his face seemed stripped of a mask, his eyes filled with disgust. 

Mariela seemed not to have heard correctly, she asked, “What did you say?” 

Jared stepped back two paces, as if to keep his distance from her. 

Jared said, “Mariela, You graduated from an elite school, don’t you know what shame is?” 

Mariela’s gaze was full of disbelief, she had never seen anyone reject her before. 

Actually, she had a hunch when she fell into the water. 

But Jared still jumped in to save her. 

This gave her a glimmer of hope. 

She jumped into the water on purpose, just to test him, 

Mariela said, “I can give up everything. Jared, do you believe in love at first sight? From the moment I saw you, my heart raced. I don’t care about status, and I don’t care about the future. I just hope you can give me a chance.” 

But the disgust in Jared’s eyes became more and more obvious. 

“Marela, your behavior gives me a new understanding of human nature. I have no interest in people like you. Please don’t do anything that makes you lose your dignity.” 

But Mariela was still not willing to give up. 

As Jared turned to leave, she asked loudly, “Is it because of Agnes? I promise I’ll keep it a secret. I won’t let her know.” 

She didn’t believe that a man like Jared would only have one woman in his life. 

She thought if she had a chance, she could, as long as there was a glimmer of hope. 

Jared said, “I won’t betray my wife, as for you, you only make me feel disgusted.” 

Manela’s heart felt like it had been stabbed by a knife. 

Jared’s humiliation of her was like stripping her naked and throwing her into a crowd 

Mariela, trembling, said, “Since you’re not interested in me at all, why did you save me today?” 

“Because Agnes is very innocent. If I didn’t save you, you would definitely swim up yourself. But then, Agnes would find out you were acting, everything you did was to get close to me! 

Mariela, surprised, said, “Is that the reason? You knew I could swim?” 

Jared said, “Mariela, your tactics are too poor.” 

Marela no longer held back, she walked up to Jared and asked with a smile, “When did you realize I liked you? Was it when I asked you to fix my computer? Or was it last night when I deliberately spilled coffee on you?”
