Heartstrings on Fire (Agnes and Jared)
Chapter 800

"It might be her, but I'm not sure. The News Department isn't exactly her fan club, but she's got a few lapdogs who suck up to her. I can't exactly say who's done this, but I'm heading over to the TV station to

replace out."

Jared stood up, "I'm coming with you."

Agnes hesitated, "Is that a good idea?"

"Our relationship is bound to be public sooner or later," he reasoned, "The media already think you're on a vengeful rampage against me. If I appear with you, it might dispel those rumors. Maybe we should take this chance to announce we're back together."

"If we do, the media will claim that I'm jealous of your relationship with Sharon and trying to make a statement as the wronged wife. It'll be even more chaotic."

The media always had a knack for sensationalism. There was nothing they couldn't make up.

Agnes felt that the timing wasn't right.

"The longer we wait, the more people will attack you, Agnes," Jared said, "I can't wait any longer."

Agnes was moved that Jared's first concern was for her.

She took a deep breath. "Alright, we'll go to the TV station together. But let's hold off on the announcement for now. We need to replace out who's trying to frame me first. Only when the truth is out can we clear my name."

Jared nodded. They prepared to leave together.

Just as they reached the door, Jared received a call from Leo.

Sharon had gone missing. Her assistant and agent were at a loss, having no idea about her whereabouts.

Jared's face turned serious.

Agnes knew this was a serious matter, because Sharon had severe depression. A few leaked photos had driven her to attempt suicide before.

Now, her darkest past was being ruthlessly exposed.

Agnes couldn't imagine the extent of the damage the news and the crude descriptions would have on Sharon.

Regret washed over Agnes. If only she hadn't been petty yesterday, and if only she had greeted Sharon openly, perhaps none of this would have happened. Jared wouldn't have had to explain in the office where they could be overheard, leading to this mess.

Ultimately, it was her fault.

Being a leading lady was Sharon's dream.

Yesterday should have been a happy day for her, a day when she could have finally let go of her past.

Agnes felt she had ruined it all.

If Sharon did something drastic because of this, Agnes wouldn't be able to forgive herself.

"Jared," Agnes grabbed his arm, "Go replace Sharon first. I'm afraid something might happen to her."

Jared had thought of Sharon's situation the moment the news broke.

He had immediately sent Leo to Sharon's villa, hoping she hadn't seen the news.

But now, Sharon was missing.

Things were indeed serious.

"Alright," Jared said, "I'll go look for her. You head to the TV station. Call me if there's any trouble."

Agnes nodded. "Go. Let me know as soon as you replace her."

With that, Jared left. Agnes headed to the TV station alone.
