Heartstrings on Fire novel Chapter 391

Laura didn't see that coming from Agnes.

But it does make sense.

She's been sharp as a tack since she was a kid.

Laying low all these years in this household, she was actually playing her cards close to her chest.

How else could she have slipped into being Mrs. Whitfield without a peep?

And got Jared wrapped around her little finger?

Laura went, "Since you've found out, I won't beat around the bush anymore. Maybe Beatrice did all those things in a fit of pique, or maybe she's green-eyed because you're so outstanding. I just let her tell you that your mom's death has something to do with Alyssa. I'm doing this for your own good. If I knew the truth and didn't tell you, I'm afraid you'd blame me, even hate me later."

Agnes' heart was racing, "What's the real deal you know?"

Agnes asked, "So why are you telling me all this now?"

"You and Jared have already tied the knot in secret. Plus, most of Alyssa's past actions happened abroad, so we didn't really pay much attention to this issue. Let bygones be bygones. The things from back then are too murky to investigate now. That incident might just have been a coincidence, might have nothing to do with Alyssa. Since you've married into the Whitfield family, your dad doesn't intend to dig into the past. He just doesn't want this to come between you and Jared."

Frowning, Agnes said, "But you still managed to let me in on this."
