Heartstrings on Fire novel Chapter 265

Agnes suddenly froze. She was just making an example.

"I didn't mean that. I was just making an example."

"So you still haven't forgotten about that guy?"

"I forgot about him a long time ago."

"Do you guys still keep in touch?"

"No, absolutely not."

Agnes turned red as a beet, flustered.

Jared suddenly reached out and ruffled her hair, "Don't ever mention that guy again, got it? Not even in your thoughts."

Agnes obediently agreed.

Just like that, Jared's distraction made Agnes forget what she was about to say.

What was it again?

Regardless, despite the scare today, Agnes' gloomy mood of the past few weeks had lightened up.

She actually wanted to ask about the necklace but didn't in the end.

Ivan had mentioned before that the investigation had hit a roadblock.

The auction house people disappearing without a trace indicated that there were some big, shady hands pulling the strings behind the scenes.

Agnes wasn't sure if Mamie was trying to harm her, but she believed that one day, the truth would come out eventually.

Mamie's love life was sensationalized by the media and became a hot topic on social media.

Agnes even saw fans calling for a boycott of ‘Cinderella’ and for her to quit the entertainment industry.

There were tens of thousands of comments in support of this, but Agnes didn't pay much attention to it.

She knew the truth. As a communications student, she knew that the hype around such scandals wouldn't last more than a few weeks. As long as she ignored them, the rumors would eventually fade.

But Agnes had a bad feeling in her gut.

Online public opinion had always been diverse and contradictory, but after the incident, all she saw were insults and slurs against her.

She couldn't help but suspect that someone was manipulating public opinion.
