Heartstrings on Fire novel Chapter 147

Justin stated, "I get it; she met you first. But Mr. Whitfield, you better treat Agnes right. In this era of frequent divorces, I won't hesitate to swoop in and take her if you mess up."

Jared answered nonchalantly, "You won't get the chance. We're pretty harmonious and might have a kid soon."

Agnes blushed.

What was Jared talking about?

He pulled her in for a hug, then turned to Justin, grinning, "Right, honey?"

His smile was infectious, but it sent chills down Agnes' spine. She could only nod vaguely.

Jared affectionately ruffled Agnes' hair.

Watching them, Justin couldn't stomach it any longer and left the lounge.

Jared turned to Agnes, "I'm uncomfortable with you working with a guy who's into you."

Agnes chuckled, "Well, Justin is quite handsome and has a lot of fans."

When she glanced at Jared, his face had turned stern.

She quickly added, "But you're richer. I remember an old saying, 'Good-looking folks are a dime a dozen, but the rich ones are the real catch.'"

Jared's face darkened even more…

As Agnes and Jared left together, they drew envious glances.

On their first day out, Mr. Whitfield publicly visited Agnes.

His assistant even handed out gift cards, which were very generous.

Beatrice had smashed everything in her room.

Then, she threw herself onto her bed and wept.

She pounded her fist on the bed, seething with resentment.

Laura walked in, "Why aren't you dressed yet? We're visiting the Whitfields today. Don't be late."

Beatrice was furious, "I'm not going! I can't stand Agnes' smug face. I can't accept her success!"

Laura approached Beatrice, disdainfully asking, "Is that all you're capable of as my daughter?"

Beatrice sobbed, "But she's married to Jared now. I've lost my chance. What can I do now?"

Laura laughed coldly, "So what if she's married? Didn't your father marry Julia first? But who's enjoying the high life as Mrs. Pritchard now? Isn't it me?"
