Heartstrings on Fire (Agnes and Jared)
Chapter 644

Jared's brow furrowed.

It really wasn't surprising that Leo had dug up all this information.

What Jared couldn't understand was how Agnes was connected to these people.

That guy, Bro Kear, Jared hadn't found any information about him so far.

But it did prove one thing, which is that man must have dark secrets.

Now another name had surfaced, Naylor.

More importantly, the rosary beads around Nocturne's neck seemed to have some connection with Reggie.

Agnes must know Reggie.

What on earth had Agnes been through over the years? Why was she involved with that man?

Jared was lost in thought.

Leo called out, "Mr. President, shall we continue the investigation?"

Jared looked up and said, "Forget Naylor, keep tracking where Reggie is now."

"Yes, Mr. President."

"By the way, how's the investigation into Cindy's photos going?"

"We've found the culprit. It's the security guard of the residential area. He has confessed to the crime. He claims he wrote the threatening letters and posted those photos because he didn't like celebrities. But I've looked into it. The guard has been working in the compound for ten years and has never stepped out of line. Ms. Sharon has been living in her villa for three years without any issue. But recently, the guard's mother fell seriously ill and was admitted to Hope Hospital's ICU. The cost per day is in the thousands. It's said that the guard paid half a million directly from his bank account. There's something fishy about this, I fear someone behind might be bribing him."

Jared's face darkened, "Check the guard's bank account and recent call logs, see who he has been in contact with."

"Yes, sir."

"You can go now."

"Okay."

As Leo was leaving and reached the elevator, he ran into Valeria.

"Ms. Thomas," Leo greeted politely.

Valeria nodded, "Is Jared in?"

"The President is inside."

Valeria said, "I need to talk to Jared."

"Please, go ahead, Ms. Thomas."

Valeria knocked on the door of the President's office, which was slightly ajar.

Jared looked up and stood when he saw Valeria, "Valeria, you're here."

Valeria came in and spotted the little boy sleeping on the couch, and her face broke into a soft smile, "What's it like to suddenly have a son to yourself?"

Jared, looking quite pleased, said honestly, "I feel blessed."

Valeria teased, "You've been acting like the world owe you for the past four years, and now you say you're blessed. Men are so fickle."

Jared laughed, "What brings you here?"

Valeria walked over to the desk and handed over a business card, "This is my friend Ammi, a highly recommended therapist. She specializes in treating depression. I thought maybe she could help Ms. Sharon."

Jared took the card, "Valeria, thank you."

Valeria smiled, "There's no need to be so formal between us. No one could have foreseen this."

Jared looked somewhat apologetic, "About the engagement, I'm sorry."

Valeria seemed unfazed, "Our engagement was a business deal from the start. Business deals can be canceled by mutual consent at any time. By the way, I have some good news. Count Alexandra received our engagement announcement and is considering giving me the wine agency rights. Luckily, the Countess was too scared to fly and didn't attend our engagement party. That saved us."
