Heartstrings on Fire (Agnes and Jared) novel Chapter 987

Agnes was well aware that Jared had cast caution to the wind in his search for her.

She also knew that to pave his way, Jared had utilized a hefty sum from The Tim Group's coffers, jeopardizing a crucial project in the process.

But what Agnes didn't realize was that Jared had encountered a landslide, facing a life-threatening situation.

The pang of guilt in her heart was unbearable.

After all, everything traced back to her – it was all because of Agnes.

At this moment, she was nearly at a loss for words.

Leo added, "There's something else you might not know. After Mr. Berlin was acquitted and released, Jared was ridden with guilt. He felt helpless and eventually had someone rough up Berlin – knocked a tooth right out of his mouth."

Agnes looked up in surprise.

Jared had done something like that? Could it be that he truly was unaware of Berlin’s release?

This incident had always been a sore point for Agnes.

It was also the final straw that had severed her relationship with Jared.

Agnes had always refused to believe that Jared, as sharp as he was, could be ignorant of such a matter. But now, reflecting on it, she realized she hadn't placed enough trust in Jared.

"I've been with the boss for years," Leo said, "and it pains me to see him suffer like this. During the years you vanished, he was enveloped in gloom. He's an incredibly astute man – no one could defeat him. Yet, he's trapped himself in a cage of his own making, unable to break free because the only one who can outsmart him is himself. Agnes, you hold the key to that cage."

Agnes felt she couldn't bear to listen any longer.

Why did she still doubt him?

Doubt Jared's closeness with Valeria.

Doubt Jared's devotion to her.
