Heartstrings on Fire (Agnes and Jared) novel Chapter 629

Ryder's words made the room fall into an eerie silence in an instant.

Just now, the air seemed to be filled with sparks, but now it's cold as ice.

Alyssa, feeling uneasy, decided to step out of the room.

She was just at the door when she overheard Ryder's words.

It nearly scared the bejesus out of her.

The others in the room were just as taken aback, even Agnes was too stunned to react.

They all stared at Ryder's rigid profile.

Only Jared, radiating cold energy, said, "Ryder, have you lost your freaking mind?"

Ryder turned around, looking calm, "The one who's lost it should be you. You ditched your own engagement, now you're forcing Agnes to marry you. Let me make things clear, Agnes is not your wife, nor your puppet. You don't have the right to force her into anything she doesn't want."

Jared stepped up to Ryder, "And what gives you the right to lecture me? Even if we're divorced, she's still mine."

"You're not the law, it's not all about what you say."

Jared snorted, "Our business is none of your concern, at least I am Nocturne's father."

"My understanding of what a father is might be different from yours, and who Nocturne wants as his father is still up in the air."

The two kept going back and forth, neither backing down.

Jared finally chuckled, "So, you've known all along that Summer is my son."

"I've known Agnes for three years abroad, naturally, I'd know."

Jared's fingers clenched into a tight fist.
