Heartstrings on Fire novel Chapter 197

Agnes followed Jared into the office.

Once they were in, Agnes said, "Honestly, I don't think this is right."

Jared chuckled, "What do you think isn't right?"

Agnes said, "The whole thing about you firing Yolanda. Even though she was deliberately making things difficult for me, it didn't have to result in her losing her job. Also, the Bowman family isn't just any ordinary family..."

"I got one question for you," Jared cut her off.

Agnes was taken aback.

Jared asked, "Are you happy that I fired her?"

After a moment of hesitation, Agnes blurted out, "Yes!"

Jared laughed softly, ruffled Agnes's hair and said, "That's all that matters. And this serves as a warning. Does anyone think they can mess with my wife, Jared's wife? Let's see who dares to bother you in the future."

Jared's words were said in a casual manner.

But Agnes felt like she was completely submerged in a jar of honey.

Suddenly, she stepped forward and wrapped her arms around Jared's waist, "Honey, you're going to spoil me rotten."

Jared turned, cupped Agnes's face and placed a gentle kiss on her forehead, "Spoil you rotten, I will. It's my pleasure."

Agnes was beaming inside.

Just as the two were planning to go out for a lavish meal, they received a call from Alyssa.

She said that Tim had just suffered a heart attack and was hospitalized.

So, they hurried off to the hospital.

Agnes was shocked, "You mean Tim was faking it?"

Jared nodded, "Didn't he look perfectly healthy? And if it was serious, wouldn't Ryder be there?"

"Maybe he doesn't know?"

"Maybe he just doesn't want to be part of their drama."

Agnes was speechless.

"Why don't you just expose the truth?" she asked.

Jared smiled, "Tim cares a lot about his pride. If I expose the truth, wouldn't that be a slap in his face? Let's just move back for a few days, so his efforts won't go in vain."

So, the next day, Agnes and Jared officially moved back to the Whitfield Manor with no set return date.
