Heartstrings on Fire (Agnes and Jared) novel Chapter 638

Agnes couldn't bear to let her mind wander too far.

But she had to think it through.

She never doubted the possibility.

Agnes remembered, it was Laura who called her that day, breaking the news that their dad had been in a car accident and was in emergency care at the hospital.

Turned out he was DUI.

But according to Agnes' understanding of her father, Preston, he was always serious and a stickler for rules.

He'd been driving for years without a single blip on his record.

There was no way he could have been drink driving.

But Agnes just thought Preston must have been in a bad mood due to work stuff at the time, she didn't think much of it.

But now...

Agnes felt chills creeping up from her feet.

Could it be, even her father's accident had something to do with Laura?

She had to get to the bottom of this.

Agnes forced herself to stay calm and collected her thoughts.

Agnes had a sudden thought.

The car her father was in during the accident was now in the villa's garage.

The car had crashed into a bridge, and the front of the car was totally wrecked.

The cops took the car as evidence at first, but after it was determined that it was a DUI, the car was returned.

But by then, her father had passed away and Laura had moved out of the Pritchard family villa.

Agnes hadn't bothered to fix the car and it's been sitting in the underground garage.

Agnes seemed to have thought of something.

She rushed to the garage.

The black car was still there, its front distorted from the severe impact.

Agnes inspected it thoroughly.

Four years had passed, she couldn't find anything unusual.

Besides, she didn't know much about cars.

Suddenly, a name popped into Agnes' head.

Naylor.

Naylor was the fourth child that Reggie Albert adopted.

He was the most carefree one.

Agnes had just left the Whitfield Manor this morning and finally got some alone time.

Yet, a few hours later, she saw Jared again.

Jared didn't answer Agnes' question.

He just noticed that Agnes was all dressed up, like she was going somewhere.

Jared asked, "Where are you going?"

"None of your business."

Agnes didn't have time to waste and she didn't have the energy to deal with Jared.

Agnes didn't ask about Jared's uninvited visit.

Whatever he wanted to say, even if she didn't ask, he would come out with it.

As Agnes walked past Jared, she said, "I'm leaving. You should leave too, Mr. Whitfield."

Agnes made it clear that she wanted him to leave.

Jared just quietly watched Agnes.

Jared himself wasn't sure why he was at the Pritchard family villa.

When Jared was at the office, standing by the window looking down, his mood was different than usual.
