Heartstrings on Fire (Agnes and Jared) novel Chapter 480

Chapter 480 

Everyone fell silent right away. 

Albert slowly said, “These are all the kids I’ve brought up since they were young, consider them your brothers and sisters. This is my second kid, Kearney, and this is the third, Phenix.” He pointed at the boy driving, “This is the fourth, Naylor.” Then he pointed at a young girl in the corner, “That’s the fifth, Nathalie.” 

Only then did Agnes notice the girl in the corner. 

She was tiny and dressed in all–black sportswear. Despite being with everyone else, she was hardly noticeable, like she could turn invisible. Agnes was still confused, 

For a moment, before she could react, her mind was full of questions. 

Like who is Albert really, why is he here at this time, who are these people, where are they going… 

But these questions were too complicated. 

Agnes could not speak for a moment. She had been through too much that night. 

From the moment she found out that Beatrice wanted to harm her, Agnes felt that the blood–related family ties in this world suddenly became worthless. Where should she go now? 

Agnes wanted to go back to the countryside, to live with her grandmother. 

But she couldn’t, because Jared would quickly find her there. 

And this city could no longer accommodate her. 

Albert brought Agnes to a casino on the hillside. 

Beyond the casino was a villa surrounded by a lake. 

A speedboat took them across the lake. 

On the way, Agnes saw many bodyguards dressed in black. 

Everyone who saw Albert showed an inexplicable awe. 

And when they saw the woman in red and the man in glasses, they were all very respectful. 

They seemed to be the real bosses here. 

Agnes had suspected that Albert was not an ordinary person. 

But she didn’t expect him to be this powerful. 

After entering the villa, Albert turned to Agnes and said, “You stay here for now and think about what you want to do next.” 

Agnes felt that Albert seemed to know something. 

But as for what to do next, Agnes had no clue.

Albert took Agnes to a room. 

Agnes sat on the sofa, dazed. 

Albert poured a glass of water for Agnes and handed it over. 

Agnes looked up at Albert, “Who exactly are you?” 

Why was he so respected, why did he have such a luxurious villa? 

Why were people so afraid of him? 

Albert smiled slightly, “Are you scared?” 

Agnes shook her head, “I consider you as my godfather, but I don’t even know your name.” 

Albert’s eyes squinted slightly. 

There was a long scar at the corner of his eye.
