Heartstrings on Fire (Agnes and Jared) novel Chapter 481

Chapter 481 

Agnes was gobsmacked. 

The guy in front of her was actually such a big shot, yet she had casually accepted him as her foster father. 

Now she understood why she was ganged up on by those thugs. 

Even though they had the upper hand, they suddenly looked like they’d seen a ghost. 

They were very frightened. Turned out it was because of the string of beads Albert had given her. 

Back then, a thug named Mono had cut her arm with a knife, instantly severing the thread of the beads. 

The beads scattered all over the ground. 

Mono’s face suddenly became frightened when he saw the beads. 

Turns out they recognized the beads as Albert’s personal belongings. 

No wonder when Mono and his gang turned themselves in later, they all had injuries, but none of them dared to say who did it. 

So that’s what happened. 

Agnes was still reeling from the shock. 

She suddenly remembered when she first met Albert, he was just working in a small restaurant. 

How could such a person be a bigwig in the underworld? 

Seeing Agnes‘ stunned expression. 

Albert smiled faintly, “Did my notorious reputation scare the pants off you?” 

Agnes quickly shook her head, “I just thought, I just thought…” 

In truth, Agnes was scared stiff. 

Because the word on the street was that Reggie was ruthless. 

“Do you think I’m from a different world than you?” 

Agnes automatically nodded her head. 

Yes, she had no idea what the supposed gangster world was really like. 

Her impressions of these people were still from TV dramas. 

But Albert’s image was far from that. 

He was always smiling softly, dressed in a formal suit. 

There was even a refined elegance about him, like a gemstone that has been smoothed and mellowed by time. 

Albert chuckled, “Don’t worry, even though I’m no saint, I won’t hurt my own children. You are my goddaughter, from now on, I’ll treat you as if you were my own flesh and blood.”
