Heartstrings on Fire

Chapter 5

Jenny’s coldness shocked Agnes, and her tone turned chilly, “So, you’re not going to forgive me? Agnes, you already have so much. Why are you trying to steal Elton from me? You just don’t want me to be happy, do you?”

Agnes was speechless, baffled by Jenny’s logic. It was Jenny who had butted into her relationship with Elton first.

However, now Jenny was saying that she didn’t want her to be happy.

Agnes said, “There’s nothing left for us to talk about. I have to work; you go do your thing”

Just as Agnes was about to turn around and leave, Jenny grabbed her arm, “Agnes, let me tell you one more thing…”

“What are you doing?”

Suddenly, a tall figure appeared in the doorway. Elton had walked over, his face full of unhidden anger, “Jenny, how many times have I told you, stop bothering Agnes.” Jenny immediately put on a pitiful face, “I came to ask her for forgiveness. I’ve been begging her. It was all my fault. It has nothing to do with you.”
