Heartstrings On Fire

Chapter 24

Ryder strolled over, eyed Agnes and asked, “What are you doing here?”

Caught off guard. Agnes stammered, “It’s a long story”

The butler inquired, “Mr. Ryder, do you know them?”

Ryder pointed at Agnes and said, “She’s a friend”

He then glanced at Jenny and declared casually, “Don’t know this one though”

Jenny got kicked out.

Standing outside the Whitfield family mansion, Jenny was fuming. She couldn’t believe that Agnes had somehow gotten in with Ryder. Inside, it was all glitz and glamour, but she had got no part in it!
