Heartstrings On Fire

Chapter 528

Jared, now that I’m back, anything you’ve got, bring it on me. My grandma’s old if you hurt her, I swear I’ll make you pay,” Agnes said.

Jared stared at Agnes coldly, “Alnght, Agnes, you said it. If you want to know where your grandma is, follow me, agree to my terms and I guarantee she won’t be hammed. On the contrary, fil take good care of her”

With that Jared turned around and walked back into the room.

Agnes had no choice but to follow him in

As soon as Jared entered the room, he started to take off his jacket and then turned to Agnes, “Close the door”

Agnes frowned, but she did as he asked.

After Jared finished taking off his coat, he started to undo the buttons of his shirt collar and then slowly walked towards Agnes.

Feeling a sense of danger, Agnes backed away and asked, “Jared, what the hell are you trying to do?”

Anytime, she would instinctively push the man away.
