Heartstrings on Fire (Agnes and Jared) novel Chapter 406

Chapter 406 

When she opened them again, they were filled with pain, “Yeah, your mom committed suicide years ago and I was partly to blame. I thought it was all water under the bridge and no one would bring it up again. But lo and behold, Jared married Julia’s daughter What a farcical twist of fate! How ridiculously ironic!” 

As she spoke, Alyssa seemed to find it amusing. 

Each of her words felt like a knife stabbing into Agnes 

At that moment, her words were piercing Agnes’s heart sentence by sentence. 

Alyssa tumed around. “From the moment I found out you were Julia’s daughter, I knew this day would come. I didn’t expect it to come so soon though. Agnes, yes, I was the one who drove Julia to her death. I despised her back then, but I regret it now. I regret it deeply.” 

Alyssa seemed like a different person. 

She leaned against the cherry tree next to her. 

Her eyes were welled up with tears, “I was young and reckless then, made many mistakes. The person I feel most guilty about in this world is your mom. Now, I don’t want to make excuses for myself. You can take your revenge on me however you like, but I won’t allow you to harm Jared in any way.” 

Deep down, Agnes was still holding onto a glimmer of hope 

She had been running away from the truth for a long time. 

She had been waiting for the day when she could confirm it herself. 

She hoped Alyssa would deny it. 

She hoped she would reveal some unknown secrets. 

But there were none. 

Alyssa admitted that she intentionally drove her mother to her death all those years ago. 

Agnes felt like it was a cruel joke. 

After marrying Jared, she had always respected his sister. 

But why did it turn out like this, why did the ending have to be this? 

Agnes got her answer, everything seemed to be within her expectations. 

But during this time, she didn’t dare to think about what to do after confirming it. 

If Alyssa really was the killer, what should she do? 

Alyssa’s words carried a biting edge. “You can take your revenge, but have you ever truly considered how? To confront all this, face it head-on?” 

“Divorce Jared, she continued. “I won’t let someone who poses a threat to him remain by his side. It’s evident you loathe me now. I doubt you and Jared will last.”
