Heartstrings on Fire (Agnes and Jared) novel Chapter 967

Valeria felt a tinge of disappointment.

She deliberately brought up Agnes. The words she had just spoken were meant to catch Jared off guard.

But it seemed that only by mentioning Agnes did Jared's true emotions surface.

Valeria cut to the chase, "I told her that you are the reason I stayed with the Tim Group.

Jared's brow furrowed deeply.

Agnes had always been bothered by his relationship with Valeria. No matter how many times he explained, it did no good. In fact, Jared had always thought that Agnes used it as an excuse to push him away. But Jared had never imagined this.

He sighed, "Valeria, it seems you no longer fit in at the Tim Group."

Valeria barely reacted, just a slight curl of her lips in a nonchalant gesture.

"I didn't expect you to dismiss me so outright," she said.

In truth, this outcome didn't surprise her. That’s the type of person Jared was.

Over the years, there had never been any ambiguity between them.

She had always kept her emotions well hidden.

Jared looked at her gravely, "We're friends, and that's why I have to do what's best for you. Valeria, we're no longer suitable as partners."

"Alright, I understand," Valeria replied, still with that air of ease about her. "I'll resign from the Tim Group tomorrow, but I hope we can still be friends."

"We'll always be friends, and excellent business associates," he affirmed.

Valeria felt a sense of resignation as Jared strictly defined their relationship.

Just good business associates? Was that his final answer?
