Heartstrings on Fire (Agnes and Jared) novel Chapter 762

Of course, Agnes wasn't oblivious to Jared's intentions. He was probably trying to remind Yolanda that he was Agnes' backup, her support system, but Agnes felt this approach might backfire.

Agnes stood up, hoisted her glass, and said, "Mr. Whitfield, thank you."

Jared merely chuckled, clinked glasses with Agnes, then downed his drink in one go.

Everyone present took notice that Mr. Whitfield was really giving Agnes due respect.

When others toasted earlier, Mr. Whitfield had merely sipped his drink. But when Agnes proposed a toast, he had consumed the entire glass.

Moreover, he had entrusted her with something as crucial as the promotional video.

Agnes was a returnee from overseas, that was true, but she was still a newcomer at the television station.

Snagging such a big project was like winning the lottery.

Yolanda’s face darkened, which everyone noticed. It seemed Agnes would get more trouble.

After the meal, people began to excuse themselves.

Agnes intended to leave with the others, but Jared held her hand directly. Agnes quickly withdrew her hand, looking around. Fortunately, no one saw it. A smirk spread across Jared's face.

Yolanda, however, saw everything, and she clenched her fingers.

It seemed that Jared still had a keen interest in his ex-wife. But Yolanda wasn't sure if Jared still had feeling for Agnes or intent on toying with her.
