Heartstrings on Fire (Agnes and Jared)
Chapter 610

Agnes couldn't take Nocturne away from Jared without raising suspicion.

She even considered asking Ryder for help.

But Ryder's been busy attending a medical summit in Manhattan.

And even if Ryder did intervene, there was no guarantee it wouldn't make Jared suspicious.

Still, Agnes kept tabs on Nocturne's whereabouts every day.

She found that Nocturne's daily locations were between Tim Tower and Maplewood Manor.

The fact that Jared was taking Nocturne to the office everyday was beyond Agnes' expectations.

It only made her worry more.

With so many people in the office, rumors were bound to fly.

Tim Tower, Jared's office.

When Leo walked in with some documents, Jared was sitting in his office chair, staring blankly at his computer.

Lately, Mr. Whitfield had been spacing out a lot.

Leo knocked on the door.

Finally, Jared came back to reality and said, "Come in."

After Leo reported on the work progress of the past few days, he told Jared, "Mr. Whitfield, the engagement party invitations are ready for you to review." With that, Leo placed an invitation on Jared's desk.

The invitation was in an envelope style, with the names of Jared and Valeria on it.

It was very simple, but had a nostalgic feel to it, especially with both of their names printed on it, giving it a unique charm.

Jared only glanced at it briefly without even opening it.

He said, "Tell Valeria, anything she likes is fine. Don't bother showing me this stuff anymore."

Leo did as he was told.

Everyone at the Tim Group knew that Mr. Whitfield was getting engaged in a week.

The media had been reporting on it for half a month.

People had been speculating that Valeria was Mr. Whitfield's fiancée.

When it was officially announced, no one was surprised.

Both Jared and Valeria were well-matched elites in society.

Valeria was the general manager of the Thomas Group, and she was said to run a vineyard abroad.

Such a powerful woman was beyond reach for most.

But recently, a piece of news caught everyone's attention.

It was a video of newcomer Sharon from the entertainment industry crying in a parking lot.

Some said she was devastated upon hearing about Jared's engagement.

Others speculated it was a publicity stunt.

It was an open secret in the entertainment world that Jared was Sharon's sugar daddy.

Sharon was an artist under Century Entertainment.

More than once, the media had captured pictures of her dining with Ivan, Mamie, and Jared.

Being able to dine with these high-profile people meant she had a powerful backing.

Considering Sharon was an orphan and used to be a bartender, it was hard not to question how she climbed the social ladder.

Rumors had been going around that she had multiple sugar daddies.

Until one time, the media caught Jared personally taking Sharon to the hospital - to the gynecology department.

Later, Sharon's abortion records were exposed by the media.

This confirmed the rumors that Jared was Sharon's sugar daddy.

In fact, there had been many female celebrities rumored to be involved with Jared over the years, but most of these rumors were short-lived.

Sharon was an exception, she had been with Jared for three years.

She had an abortion for Jared and lived in his mansion.

Jared even hosted a personal concert for her, which catapulted her to the pinnacle of the entertainment world.

There were even rumors that Jared's affection for her exceeded his affection for his ex-wife.

But when the news of Jared's engagement came out, the public opinion began to shift.
