Heartstrings on Fire novel Chapter 515

When Agnes spat out these words, it felt like her heart was being stabbed with a needle.

Her kid, Nocturne, a bastard? How could that be?

Nocturne was her everything - her sunshine, her hope, her most beautiful mark left in this world.

She'd give up everything for him.

But she had to say it this way.

Jared was still... well, Jared!

Agnes could feel his anger.

Four years ago, he must've found out.

And then, suddenly, she disappeared.

Agnes could imagine Jared's anger four years ago.

His cold demeanor just now wasn't because he'd forgotten her, but because he was telling her that it was not going to be easy to bury the hatchet.

Old scores would be settled.

Agnes was mentally prepared.

But she didn't expect Jared to be so eager.

He chased her down and dropped a bombshell.

Agnes felt her head spinning, but she tried to keep it together, to not look like she was panicking.

This woman was heartless, too cruel.

She actually harmed an innocent life.

His child, her child too.

How could she!

Jared felt like if he had a knife, he might have killed her.

Agnes's voice was composed, with a soothing tone, "We both know what happened between us. Your mother caused my mother's suicide, almost died herself. I saw it as her repentance, but that doesn't mean I forgave her or stopped investigating. I won't let my mother bear a sinner's name even in death. Four years ago, I couldn't face the Whitfield family, but now I'm back, and I won't avoid you anymore. Be prepared, one day I'll expose the truth. Even if it's past the statute of limitations, I'll use public opinion to make the real sinner bear their sins and live in agony!"

Jared's eyes grew colder, "I don't care about any of that, I just want to know, what did you do to my child four years ago?"

"Jared, long time no see, you've become slow. Wasn't I clear enough? The feud between the Whitfield family and me isn't over, our conflict is just beginning. I wouldn't have a child of the Whitfields and let it become an obstacle to my revenge. Yes, I was pregnant, but that child... I didn't give birth to it."
