Heartstrings on Fire (Agnes and Jared)
Chapter 620

Actually, Summer and Mr. Whitfield do look somewhat alike.

Especially those eyes of theirs that seem indifferent but yet see through everything.

Lately, there's been a rumor around the office that Mr. Whitfield had an illegitimate kid, and he brought him to the company every single day.

However, everyone's whispering that Summer was Mr. Whitfield and Sharon's child.

But, now thinking of it, Sharon's eyes do have a striking resemblance to Agnes'.

That would explain so many things over the past few years...

Even Leo was getting a headache, these relationships are just too messy.

Leo looked at Agnes who seemed to be deep in thought on the couch and cautiously greeted her, "Agnes, it's been so long."

Agnes lifted her head, gave Leo a small smile, "Leo, long time no see."

Leo took a rare moment to look over Agnes.

She had really changed a lot from her previous image.

Even her aura seemed different, even though she only said one sentence, Leo could tell that Agnes had become much stronger.

Leo chuckled, "Who would've thought, Summer is Mr. Whitfield and your son. I thought he looked familiar when we were in Manhattan. Now that I think about it, only a genius like Mr. Whitfield could produce such a smart kid."

Agnes gave a forced smile.

Leo got it, the relationship between Mr. Whitfield and Agnes probably wasn't too good.

Agnes stood up and headed for the bedroom.

Nocturne was sleeping, so this was probably the best opportunity.

Agnes entered the room and nonchalantly picked up Nocturne.

She turned around ready to leave.

Leo blocked the door, looking troubled. "Agnes, we were friends before, could you really bear to see me transferred to Africa?"

"Sorry, but I have to leave." Agnes felt guilty, but she didn't back down.

Plus, Leo was Jared's most trusted subordinate. Agnes didn't believe that Jared would really transfer him to Africa because of this. He was just trying to scare her.

Leo still blocked Agnes' path. "The villa is surrounded by journalists right now. Mr. Whitfield's sudden disappearance from his engagement party today has resulted in both the company and here being besieged by journalists. If you leave now, you'll definitely be photographed and that's when the trouble starts."

Leo knew that Agnes was a somewhat famous actress four years ago. She definitely wouldn't want to be harassed by journalists, let alone get involved in such a scandal.

As expected, Agnes frowned, seemingly wavering.

She didn't want to blow this up.

If they got exposed, the Whitfield family would also know about Nocturne's existence.

That would just cause more trouble.

Agnes turned back to the room and put Nocturne back on the bed.

Then she suddenly turned around again, "Didn't Jared just go to the engagement venue?"

If Jared went to the engagement venue, why are the journalists still camping here?

Leo sighed, "Mr. Whitfield didn't go to the engagement venue."

"Then where did he go?" Agnes was surprised.

What could be more important than his own engagement?

Especially since Valeria just called me?

"He...he... has some things to deal with."

This was the first time Agnes had seen Leo so hesitant, as if there was something he can't bring himself to say.

Agnes lowered her eyes, saying, "Never mind, you don't have to tell me. Where he went has nothing to do with me."

Leo seemed to breathe a sigh of relief. He really couldn't reveal where Mr. Whitfield went.

However, this was a secret that might be hard to keep.
