Heartstrings on Fire novel Chapter 1014

Agnes reached out to Phenix again.

Phenix mentioned that it had been a while since she last saw Kearney. She was immersed in the excitement of her upcoming wedding with Sean in Bali, reveling in the joy of being a bride-to-be, hardly thinking about anything else.

Agnes chose not to share the troubling news about Albert’s Arms and the drug trafficking case with Phenix. Firstly, the matter was highly confidential. Secondly, Agnes didn't want to dampen Phenix's happiness with such grim news.

Agnes maintained a neutral stance on the issue. Manufacturing and trafficking drugs were unforgivable crimes that wreaked havoc on countless families every year. If someone at Albert’s Arms was indeed involved in drug trafficking, Agnes wouldn't cover for them. She was determined to bring the truth to light.

The next day, the news was flooded with reports of the Black Falcon Unit's arrest of Lanny. The evidence against him for selling drugs was irrefutable, leading to his prosecution.

Jarvis had also been in touch with Agnes, mentioning that their actions had scared off the bigger fish, so the hunt for Honey Badger had to be put on hold. He had since moved on to the Capital to continue his investigation.

Like during lunchtime. Agnes used to join Ben, Ramona, and the others in the station's cafeteria. But these past few days, they seemed to vanish right before lunch, leaving her no choice but to join Jared. Their lunchtimes inevitably drew attention. Almost everyone at the TV station knew Jared, and his decision to work there as an assistant was the talk of the town. Agnes had become a subject of gossip.

She had even run into Yolanda Bowman in the cafeteria twice. Just now. Yolanda, aware that Jared had lost his CEO position, mocked him in front of Agnes. Agnes couldn't stand it and snapped back. But Jared remained unfazed.

After sitting down, Agnes looked up and said, “Jared, are you really okay with being my assistant here, subject to ridicule and disrespect? What are you thinking? Have you really given up on the Tim Group for good?”
