Heartstrings on Fire novel Chapter 317

Jared said, "You think you're good enough for me?"

Mariela's fingers froze suddenly on her shoulder strap.

She looked up at Jared, his face seemed stripped of a mask, his eyes filled with disgust.

Mariela seemed not to have heard correctly, she asked, "What did you say?"

Jared stepped back two paces, as if to keep his distance from her.

Jared said, "Mariela, You graduated from an elite school, don't you know what shame is?"

Mariela's gaze was full of disbelief, she had never seen anyone reject her before.

Actually, she had a hunch when she fell into the water.

But Jared still jumped in to save her.

This gave her a glimmer of hope.

She jumped into the water on purpose, just to test him.

Mariela said, "I can give up everything. Jared, do you believe in love at first sight? From the moment I saw you, my heart raced. I don't care about status, and I don't care about the future. I just hope you can give me a chance."

But the disgust in Jared's eyes became more and more obvious.

"Mariela, your behavior gives me a new understanding of human nature. I have no interest in people like you. Please don't do anything that makes you lose your dignity."

But Mariela was still not willing to give up.

As Jared turned to leave, she asked loudly, "Is it because of Agnes? I promise I'll keep it a secret. I won't let her know."

She didn't believe that a man like Jared would only have one woman in his life.

And spilling coffee on Jared's pants was just an excuse to have physical contact with him.

Most men couldn't resist this.

Although Jared's reaction at the time was big, she wasn't sure if he was pretending to be serious.

But then Agnes interrupted her, so she started another plan, using the rowing race to test Jared's feelings for her.

If he had realized her other intentions for him, he wouldn't have jumped in to save her.

Since he saved her, it means he accepted her "other intentions".

This was her way for years. It charmed countless men.

For someone like her, what other ways could she have to shoot to the top, besides being tough?
