Heartstrings On Fire

Chapter 704

Agnes was at a loss for words, feeling as if she were in a dream.

For a moment. she thought perhaps everyone’s fate, every event in their life, every encounter, was preordained. That from birth to death, every detail of one’s life was choreographed by a divine playwright.

She had specifically gone out to clear her mind and avoid him.

Yet here he was, clearly not alone.

At his side, her arm entwined with his, stood none other than Valeria.

Valeria’s appearance that day was striking.

A low–cut white evening gown, her makeup as sharp and flawless as ever.

Tall and slender, she looked like a supermodel straight from a Paris runway, her presence radiating power.

Compared to Valeria, there was one aspect where Agnes couldn’t compete.
