Heartstrings on Fire (Agnes and Jared)

Chapter 721

Countess Alexandra was taken aback. With a second look at Kearney, she asked, "Kearney, isn't

Agnes your fiancée?"

A hint of hurt flashed across Kearney's face as he replied, "I wasn't prepared. I thought it was the right

time. I'll have a serious talk with her. She's a lovely and kind-hearted girl, that's why many people love

her."

Everyone looked at Kearney with sympathy. It was clear that he had no idea this was coming. He was

so close to success, yet a curveball was thrown his way. That must have been hard to swallow.

At this moment, Bella came to Kearney's side.

Seeing the pain etched on Kearney's face, Bella felt a pang in her heart. She comforted him in her

broken English, "Kearney, out with the old, in with the new, just like the saying goes. Don't be upset.

You're so great, I can be your girlfriend."

Bella's words shocked Count and Countess Alexandra, and Valeria.

It was fortunate that the surrounding French guests didn't understand Bella’s words.

Valeria was particularly surprised.

Kearney was indeed a formidable character. Although she couldn't tell if his feelings for Agnes were

genuine or fake, he managed to win the heart of Bella, the little princess, on their first meeting. This

rival was not to be underestimated, she thought.

After Agnes ran out of the hall, she didn't know where she was going.

It wasn't out of anger. The incident was indeed beyond her expectations, but it wasn't enough to make

her lose control. It was when she looked at Kearney, he gave her a signal to run out.

Agnes knew that staying at the event would only make things even more awkward, and she had no

idea what Jared might do.

Kearney signaled her to escape, and she couldn't have been happier.

After Agnes left, she initially wanted to find Kearney's car. But she didn't expect to enter a garden

maze. After a few rounds, she was completely lost.

When it rains, it pours.

Jared, however, followed her all the way. He kept a distance of about two meters from her.

Agnes stopped when she reached a dead end and turned around, "Jared, you ruined everything today."

Jared just stood there, watching Agnes silently.

Agnes was still filled with anger, but Jared's anger seemed to have completely disappeared, all that

was left was a thick sense of sadness and helplessness.

"I know I messed up," Jared said quietly. "But, Agnes, I can't control myself. I can't stand to see you

marrying someone else." Jared looked sad, his aura no longer sharp and cold, but filled with sorrow. It

was a type of sorrow that made one's heart ache to see. Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.

Agnes casually said, "Dummy, it's a sham."

Something flickered in Jared's eyes. He took two steps toward Agnes, "What do you mean, what's a

sham?"

Agnes suddenly realized that she might have revealed too much. This was Kearney's business matter.

Although Agnes didn't understand how the proposal could boost their business, Valeria and Kearney

were business rivals, so she couldn't say too much.

Agnes pursed her lips, "The proposal was a sham. It was all just an act. But now you've messed it all

up."
