Heartstrings on Fire (Agnes and Jared)

Chapter 43

Those past events felt like they happened just yesterday, as if a long period had passed

Etton approached Agnes and said, ‘Agnes, I really miss you‘

Agnes replied, “We’re done, Elton Please don’t do this.”

Elton reached out to hold Agnes’s hand ‘Agnes, I know you hate me, but could you forgive me one last

time? Agnes, I love you, I can’t live without you.”

But Agnes stepped back, looking up at Elton “Elton, we’re past the point of no return. Jenny is

pregnant, you have to find courage. Don’t bother me anymore, things between us are long over”

Pain flickered in Elton’s eyes

As Agnes tried to leave, Elton blurted out, Jenny’s pregnancy was a fluke. She planned it. Agnes,

please don’t ignore me, do you know how much I’ve suffered these days?”

Elton’s tone was almost child like at the end. NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.

This was Elton’s way, every time he upset her, he would act like a child, despite being much older than

her.

But Agnes used always to forgive him.

But now Agnes felt annoyed. “Elton, can’t you grow up? You are not a kid anymore. Haven’t you faced

the reality yet? You think you can just apologize and everything will be fine? Also, Elton, I’m not the

same person anymore, we…it’s impossible.”

They were at the school gate, and though it was noon and not many people were around, people

started glancing over.

Agnes turned and ran back to school.

Eton chased after her, but Agnes quickly entered the nearby library, which was off–limits without a

student ID, leaving Elton stuck outside.

Agnes found a corner and sat down. She was spacing out, but all she could think about was Jared’s

face.

Agnes knew that even if Jenny wasn’t pregnant, there was no future for her and Elton, because there

was also Jared between them.

Right now, Agnes couldn’t help but wonder, what was Jared doing?

Meanwhile, at TimTower, on the 60th floor, in the CEO’s office.

A casually dressed guy pointed at Jared’s face, bellowing, “I, Mr. K, am a top–notch hacker in the

country, you called me here in such a hurry, I thought the Tim Group’s secret system got hacked! And

you want me to hack a campus forum? Jared, aren’t you looking down on people?”

Jared, expressionless, slowly picked up a pen, signed a check and pushed it over: “A hundred

thousand dollars, enough?”

Mr. K had already opened his laptop, sat up straight, and said seriously: “Just look at you. We’ve been

friends for years. I can handle it right away.”

Despite his words, he didn’t hesitate to pocket the check.

In just a few seconds, Mr. K snapped his fingers: “Done, it’s just hacking a small forum, want me to

hack Lakeside College’s official website too?”

“No need, but I need the real information of the anonymous poster,” Jared stated.

That’s easy, give me half a minute.”

Sure enough, half a minute later, Mr. K had dug up all the identity information of the anonymous

poster.

Mr. K closed his laptop and said, “As a big company’s CEO, your scandals have never stopped. I’ve

never seen you take it so seriously, why would you care about a trivial campus rumor now?”

Mr. K took a glance, Jared had called him over just to take down a post, titled “Exposing the

Relationship between Agnes and Jared, the CEO of the Tim Group“.
