Heartstrings on Fire (Agnes and Jared) novel Chapter 886

"Later, I asked my mom about it, and she said it was a gift from her dearest friend, something of great significance to her. I think it was the charm you gave her, the one you tossed into the trash. But my mom, she quietly picked it back up."

Hearing this, Alyssa finally broke down, tears streaming down her cheeks.

She hadn't fallen apart like this in years. She never imagined that Julia had retrieved the bracelet from the trash.

The symbol of their friendship had been personally discarded by Alyssa, yet Julia had salvaged it. Julia had long since forgiven her.

Clutching Agnes, Alyssa wept openly.

The airport was bustling with people who couldn't help but stare at the scene unfolding before them.

Alyssa had always been a socialite, careful about her public image. But at that moment, none of that mattered. The demons that had haunted her for years seemed to vanish. The torment, the control, the gnawing at her soul, the darkness residing deep within her – it all disappeared knowing Julia had forgiven her.

By the time they got to the hotel, it was late.

Only then did Alyssa tell Agnes that the first person they needed to see tomorrow was Cilian Thomas. Only Cilian had the influence to summon the old family doctor.

The next day, after breakfast, Agnes accompanied Alyssa to the headquarters of the Thomas Group.

The towering glass skyscraper left Agnes in awe.

Cilian's office was on the 99th floor.

Alyssa had clearly made an appointment with Cilian. As soon as they arrived at the Thomas Group entrance, a sharply dressed man came to greet them.

He introduced himself, "I'm Mr. Thomas' secretary, Carroll Clark. Please, just call me Carroll."

Alyssa nodded.

Then, Carroll led them upstairs. They took the elevator directly to the 99th floor.

Agnes had never been to the Thomas Group before and found it as vast as a labyrinth. Entering the lobby, she wondered if a shout would echo through the space.
