Heartstrings On Fire

Chapter 377

Chapter 377

Beatrice went on, “Agnes, your heart must be in a twist. You’ve fallen for the man from your enemy’s family. You

and Jared are like Romeo and Juliet. I heard Jared’s mum is out of the picture and his sister Alyssa raised him all by

herself. To him, Alyssa is like a mother. Do you think he’ll still love you when he finds out your mum and his sister

were at odds? Will he be on guard with you, like he’s with a thief? Agnes, if it was truly his sister who caused your

mum’s death, do you think he’d tolerate someone who’s itching for revenge? Do you think you could ever measure

up to his beloved sister?” Agnes just stood there, frozen.

Beatrice got more and more cocky, “If I were you, I’d ditch Jared. I couldn’t share a bed with someone who had a

hand in my mother’s death. Agnes, I’ve said it before, the title of Mrs. Whitfield doesn’t suit you. Better cut your

losses now, or else you’ll be the one in pain. I’m just looking out for you…*

“Enough, Beatrice. Don’t think I don’t know what you’re up to. You’re just trying to stir the pot for your own gain.

But let me tell you, even if I divorced Jared, even if all the women in the world were wiped out, Jared wouldn’t give

you a second glance. Do you really think Jared would marry a woman from the Pritchard family if Alyssa was really

responsible for my mother’s death? All this talk today is just because you want to be Mrs. Whitfield. But don’t

forget, in everyone’s eyes, we’re sisters. So, don’t get your hopes up. Jared will never cross paths with you.”

Beatrice was livid, “Agnes, you’re talking nonsense. Jared will fall for me. I will marry him. I will become Mrs.

Whitfield”

Agnes scoffed, “I forgot to tell you, I once asked Jared what he thought about you. Guess what he said?”

Beatrice, bracing herself for bad news, asked, “What did he say?”

“He mentioned that just seeing you makes him lose his appetite, Agnes responded.

Without another word, Agnes left, disregarding the insults Beatrice shouted after her. She flagged down a taxi and

headed back to the Celestial Skyline Hotel. After taking a long shower, she organized her belongings and even went

as far as to clean the already immaculate room. When she was done, fatigue had set in. Agnes often busied herself

when she was upset to prevent her mind from wandering. But tonight, lying on the sofa, the confrontation with

Beatrice at the airport echoed in her thoughts.

She was aware of Beatrice’s intentions to cause chaos and knew she had walked into a trap. Yet, her curiosity

compelled her to delve deeper, to determine if Alyssa had any role in her mother’s death.

Doubt began to gnaw at Agnes’ confidence.

She got up, pulled out two old newspapers from a decade ago from the bottom drawer.

The ones she found at CHERRY.

Agnes studied the graduation photo from that year.

Her mother and Alyssa, arm in arm, head next to head, looking very close.

Why would Alyssa deny this, even claiming to have never heard of the name Julia?
