Heartstrings on Fire (Agnes and Jared) novel Chapter 568

Chapter 568 

Hammer was left speechless by a single sentence. 

Everyone present had their own thoughts. 

People didn’t expect that Ryder would go so far as to protect a woman of unknown identity after returning. 

Beatrice, standing on the side, was so furious she was trembling. 

She had put a lot of effort into planning this, teaming up with Hammer to drive Agnes away. 

But unexpectedly, Ryder had to come back at this critical moment, 

Beatrice knew about Ryder’s past relationship with Agnes, but that was all four years ago. 

Why did Ryder care so much about Agnes as soon as he returned? 

Looking at their eyes, their natural way of speaking, it was obvious they had been in contact. Agnes said she had been missing for four years. 

But as soon as she appeared, not only did she see Jared, but Ryder also came to help her. 

What on earth was she trying to do? 

Hammer quickly stepped back, “Ryder, I didn’t mean that, I didn’t mean to drive Agnes away. Since Agnes is your friend, she is naturally a distinguished guest in our house. I will take good care of her.” 

Agnes just felt a terrible headache. The figures in front of her seemed to sway. 

She felt like she couldn’t hold on any longer. 

Ryder also saw this. 

He directly supported Agnes‘ arm, “I’ll take you back to your room first.” 

Everyone watched as Ryder helped Agnes back to her room, but they didn’t return to the guest room. 

Ryder took Agnes to his own room. 

If Agnes was Ryder’s friend, it wouldn’t be strange for him to protect her like that just now. 

But Ryder taking Agnes to his own room, that was very unusual. 

Ryder was a man with severe cleanliness issues, his room was locked all year round. 

Even if it was full of dust, he wouldn’t let anyone step in. 

He didn’t allow anyone to touch his things, let alone his bed being slept in by others. 

More importantly, Ryder hadn’t had a girlfriend in these years. 

There were rumors that he was gay, and his father’s biggest concern was this. 

But now Ryder had brought a woman into his room. 

His father might be overjoyed when he found out. 

A group of servants were chatting in the corridor. 

“I thought Agnes is the daughter of Mrs. Berlin’s ex–husband, how could she know Ryder?”
