Heartstrings on Fire (Agnes and Jared) novel Chapter 521

Chapter 521 

Agnes had been knocking for a while, but no one was answering the door. 

Where was her grandmother? 

“Agnes, quit knocking Your grandma moved out half a month ago ” 

Hearing the voice, Agnes turned around, surprised, “Mariela?” 

Sure enough, it was Mariela 

Coming over, Manela said, “Haven’t seen you in four years. Never heard from you after you divorced the heir of the Whitfield family. Where’ve you been?” 

Agnes forced a smile and said, “I relocated another place.” 

Agnes was vague about her whereabouts 

But Mariela looked like she’d just solved a puzzle, “I thought so! Agnes, I’m so envious of you. You’ve got all that dough, you don’t have to put up with anyone’s crap even after divorce, you can just start fresh somewhere else… Meanwhile, I’m stuck in this rundown country place, penniless, after my own divorce.” 

Agnes raised an eyebrow, “You were married?” 

Manela sighed, “Forget it, let’s not go there. I must’ve been blind, married a total jerk.” 

Manela didn’t want to elaborate. 

A lot must’ve happened in the past four years. 

But right now, Agnes was mainly concerned about her grandmother. 

She quickly asked, “Mariela, do you know where my grandma went?” 

Mariela replied, “Your grandma, she was picked up by Mr. Whitfield.” 

Agnes felt a pang of anxiety. 

Jared Whitfield? 

Manela continued, “I saw it with my own eyes, Mr. Whitfield came to pick her up himself half a month ago. Your grandma went with him.” 

Agnes felt a chill in her heart. 

Why did Jared take her grandmother? 

Mariela tentatively asked, “You’ve been divorced from Mr. Whitfield for a while now, he suddenly takes your grandma… Does he have some ulterior motive?” This was exactly what Agnes was worried about. 

Why did Jared take her grandmother, especially half a month ago? 

Jared seemed to really hate her when he saw her yesterday. 

Would he do anything harmful to her grandmother? 

Jared wouldn’t harm an old woman, would he?

But Agnes was uncertain now. 

The Jared from before would never, but what about now? 

After all, they’d been divorced for four years. 

And Agnes felt that Jared absolutely detested her now. 

Seeing Agnes‘ expression, Mariela said, “Agnes, are you back to patch things up with Mr. Whitfield?” 

Agnes was still lost in her past memories and didn’t hear clearly, she paused, “Mariela, what did you say?” 

Mariela said. “Agnes, you’ve not been this city these years, I’m not sure if you know about these things. Mr. Whitfield’s personal life has been quite messy. You know the celebrity, Sharon? Rumor has it she’s had four abortions for him. And your half–sister from your father’s side, she’s been his secret mistress for years, it’s an open secret in the circle. Everyone knows about Mr. Whitfield’s engagement to Valeria Thomas. Agnes, I know Mr. Whitfield treated you well before, but he’s not the same man anymore. Don’t let his sweet talk fool you.” 

Without thinking, Agnes frowned. 

She had occasionally heard about Jared while in Manhattan. 

But those were about his business affairs. 

She didn’t know much about his personal life, except for the news of Jared’s upcoming engagement that was exposed by the media. 

But hearing Mariela’s words now, Agnes felt a heavy sadness in her heart.
