Heartstrings on Fire novel Chapter 166

Shawn felt Agnes's eyes boring into him, her gaze so intense it left him quaking in his boots. Fear was etched all over his face as he stammered, "Agnes, don't kid around like this. Jared will have me killed."

Agnes held her stare for a moment longer before her eyes drifted past him, towards the entrance of the private room.

Just then, the door swung open. Jared and Aaron sauntered in.

Agnes sprang to her feet, striding past Shawn towards Jared. She closed the gap between them in a heartbeat, planting a kiss on Jared's lips.

Cheers and whistles erupted in the room. Every guy there breathed a sigh of relief. Jared's timing was impeccable.

Mamie had said any guy in the room, but she hadn't specified who.

It was clear Mamie's aim was to stir up trouble. Everyone knew Jared's territorial nature. His wife was off limits. Rumor had it, he personally stepped in whenever his wife had to shoot intimate scenes.

But instead of causing a stir, they all got a front seat to a lovey-dovey show.

Jared was taken aback at first. He didn't expect the usually reserved Agnes to make such a bold move in public. But he didn't push her away.

Shawn approached with his phone, quickly explaining, "Jared, play along for a minute. Agnes and Mamie are playing a game."

Jared's brow furrowed, but he quickly caught on and played along. As the kiss went on, he even started to take the lead.

Mamie's face darkened. She didn't expect Jared to come back just in time. She knew Jared was a stickler for rules, and he wouldn't allow his woman to get cozy with another man. But this backfired on her, giving them a chance to flaunt their love.

Thinking of the sight of them kissing, Mamie's hand tightened into a fist as she coolly declared, "One more round!"

The room fell silent for a second before Shawn excitedly ran back.

This was getting interesting. The new flame and the old love were squaring off. Who would Jared choose?

Everyone was enjoying the spectacle. After all, Jared was the golden boy, and his life was as precise and flawless as computer data. He had never encountered a problem he couldn't solve. So his friends, who had grown up with him but always lived in his shadow, were more than happy to stir the pot!
