Heartstrings on Fire novel Chapter 1061

But whether it was Albert's Arms or Berlin, both were a thousand miles away from the Capital. Investigating from such a distance was a logistical nightmare for Agnes. So, Agnes opted for a shortcut. She decided to seek out Ryder. Finding the whereabouts of the elusive chemist was the only way to uncover the identity of the puppet master pulling the strings. And Ryder knew where to find this mysterious chemist.

Agnes gave Ryder a call. Cutting straight to the chase, she said, “I want to know about the conditions you mentioned last time?”

Ryder replied, “I’m at my apartment. Come over, and we’ll talk.”

Agnes headed to Ryder’s high-rise apartment. In her memory, she had never been here before. But according to Jared, there was one night she got so drunk that Ryder had to bring her here.

Agnes took the elevator up. She stood at the doorstep of Ryder's apartment floor, her heart heavy. She didn’t know what opening this door would entail. But she was sure nothing would be the same after this. She didn’t want to guess what Ryder might propose. If he asked her to leave Jared and move abroad like last time, what would she do?

Agnes was in turmoil. But she really didn’t have the luxury of time to ponder these things. Jared was currently facing murder charges. Without new evidence, he would soon be convicted. And the public pressure was enough to crush anyone. The Tim Group was also teetering on the brink, caught in an unprecedented public relations crisis. Economists had estimated the scandal had already cost The Tim Group nearly ten billion. Agnes was running out of time. This was the only thing she could do for Jared.
