Heartstrings on Fire (Agnes and Jared)
Chapter 621

However, Agnes quickly got wind of Jared's whereabouts.

That night, Agnes wasn't feeling well. She started to have fever again.

To top it all off, Leo was bustling about in the living room all night, and there was a swarm of journalists outside.

Agnes crashed early, figuring she'd deal with stuff the next day.

But who would've thought the first thing she'd see on her phone in the morning was a major piece of celebrity news.

The headline read "Sharon Attempts Suicide over Love, Shadowy Sugar Daddy Ditched Engagement Party to Visit Hospital.".

The news reported that rising actress Sharon attempted suicide at her riverside mansion last night. Her manager discovered her and rushed her to the hospital. Afterwards, Jared was spotted visiting Sharon at the hospital. Coincidentally, yesterday was supposed to be Jared's engagement day...

The article went into great detail about Jared and Sharon's scandal.

Of course, this included all sorts of speculations and theories.

Online media was all abuzz about it.

Trending on Twitter were names like Jared, Sharon, Valeria.

The comments were all over the place.

"Who would've thought Sharon, who always seemed so innocent, was so cunning. She took advantage of Jared's engagement day to create such a scene, successfully stirring up Jared's engagement. She'd do just about anything to get what she wants."

"I actually think Sharon really loves Jared. Who would joke about their own life, wasn't it confirmed that she had an abortion for Jared?"

"Jared must still have feelings for her, he left Valeria and rushed to the hospital, regardless if Sharon did it on purpose, she won this battle."

"I've got some insider info, Sharon and Jared already have a son, and Jared often brings him to the company. They say the little boy looks just like Jared, so even though Sharon can't be Jared's wife, she gave birth to a child of the Whitfield family. She's totally riding on a child's coattails!"

The online comments were colorful. Agnes glanced at a few then shut off her phone.

She didn't know Sharon, nor was she clear about Sharon and Jared's relationship.

But Agnes felt a bit sorry for her.

Agnes, holding Nocturne, was ready to leave.

Leo immediately stood up, saying, "You can't leave, Mr. Whitfield said he'll be back soon."

Of course, she couldn't wait for Jared to come back.

This time Agnes didn't hold back. She took action.

She had learned Taekwondo, and she often worked out while living abroad.

Leo was taken aback by her sudden action, and was knocked to the ground by Agnes.

Agnes picked up Nocturne and was about to leave.

Just as she reached the door, she ran into Jared, who had just returned home.

Agnes hadn't expected Jared to return so soon.

"Where are you going?" Jared's voice was cold.

"You just need to manage your own people, don't worry about me."

Agnes thought about Jared bringing up remarriage yesterday, and suddenly felt it was so ironic.

Jared just said, "Eat breakfast first, and we'll talk later."

Agnes saw that Jared was holding a food box in his hand, which seemed to contain breakfast.

Agnes had no appetite at all, replying, "I'm not eating, Jared, there's nothing to explain between us. If you don't let me go, I'll call the police right now."

Jared sneered, "Then go ahead, call the police?"

"Jared!"

Seeing the two seemed about to start arguing, Leo quickly stepped in, "Mr. Tim just called, he asked you to return to the Whitfield Manor later, he specifically mentioned to bring Summer!"
