Heartstrings on Fire (Agnes and Jared)

Chapter 56

Patrick declared, “I’ve got all of Jenny’s files, and I backed up all the fake ones loo. And the untouched half a million in my account is the best proof you n eed. Just trace the payment, and you’ll know I’m not lying.”

Jenny’s face tumed pale with fear.

“And the most important thing,” Patrick continued, “is whether Jenny is pregnant or had a miscarriage, t hat’s something a quick trip to the hospital can verify. It’s not something you can forge or lie about.”

Jenny could no longer stand upright, she stumbled back a couple of steps and plopped down on a near by chair.

Suddenly, she seemed to remember something and lunged at Elton, clutching his hand: “Elton, everyo ne else might misunderstand me, but you can’t. I love you, I really do.” Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.

The truth was as clear as day.

Everyone was shocked that such a young girl could be so cunning and manipulative.

Sarah stepped forward and said, “I can’t believe you’re this ruthless, even trying to scheme against the Taylor family. You nearly made us misunderstand Agnes. Thank God, we’ve seen your true colors now. If you actually married into our family, it’d be like inviting a wolf into the hen house.”

Everyone sighed in agreement.

Jenny, not caring about anything else, held onto Elton’s hand tightly and said, “Elton, I really love you. You know this. Please don’t leave

me.”

Elton stared coldly at Jenny Jenny, was the miscarriage part of your plan to set up Agnes? Stop lying, or I swear I won’t forgive you.”

Crying, Jenny replied, “I had no other choice. I had to make you give up on Agnes. Elton, we’ll have chi ldren. Soon. You have to believe me. I can’t live without you.”

Finally, Elton lost his temper, yanking his hand away from Jenny’s grasp.

“Jenny, how dare you lie to me like this? 1, Elton, hereby call off our engagement. From this moment on, we have nothing to do with

each other.”

Jenny nearly fell to the ground, clutching the corner of Elton’s shirt desperately, not caring about the judging eyes around her, pleading . “Elton, you can’t do this to me. I love you so much. We were supposed to get engaged soon and go study abroad together. You promised. You c an’t do this to me.”

Without a shred of pity, Elton shoved Jenny away, his eyes filled with disgust and anger.

Suddenly, Jenny turned to Agnes, lunging at her like a madwoman: “Agnes, I’ll kill you!” But Jared and Elton both grabbed her arms in

time

Jenny fell to the ground while the two men stood protectively beside Agnes.

Jenny ripped off her wedding dress in rage, her face twisted in fury: “Agnes, I hate you! I hate you! You’ ll pay for this, I swear! I’ll drag you down to hell, and I won’t let you off the hook!”

Jenny was shaking violently. As for Agnes, she was too shocked by the sudden turn of events to say anything.

Jared’s voice was low and icy. “Even now, you don’t know how to repent? You’re a smart girl, about to graduate from a prestigious

school. You could have had a bright future. But your jealousy led you to frame your friend. You brought this on yourself. It’s got nothing to do with anyone else.”
