Heartstrings on Fire (Agnes and Jared) novel Chapter 982

Ryder had made it clear to her: "Leave Jared, and I'll give you whatever you want."

Now Jared was saying the same thing about Ryder, promising her the world if only she'd walk away.

Jared looked at her, his brow furrowed in confusion.

"What's so funny?" he asked with a slight edge to his voice.

"Jared," Agnes replied. "I don't need your bargains. I don't lack for anything. All I want right now is to leave."

"If you leave, I'll ruin Ryder's career. I'll make sure he ends up with nothing. Do you believe me?"

When she heard those words, Agnes wasn't particularly surprised.

Instead, she felt an expected sense of release.

Jared had actually said those words, just like what Ryder did.

Agnes laughed—a laugh so genuine that tears began to spill from her eyes.

It was absurd, the things that were happening in her life.

Jared's threats were a mirror image of Ryder's.

But why? Why were they both threatening her?

What did they see in her, Agnes, to use as a pawn?

They were both powerful, influential men—masters of their domains, capable of manipulating or even destroying others with ease!

Yet, why did they insist on dragging her into their power games?

Once, Agnes had a choice. Maybe if she had left, everything could've returned to how it was.

But now? Whether she stayed or left, one of them would be hurt.
