Heartstrings on Fire novel Chapter 1062

Agnes felt a pang in her heart upon hearing Ryder's words, but her response was nearly cold, “Ryder, I didn't come here for this. Because I don't love you, I'm not moved. I just want to know where the drug maker is.”

Ryder's eyes seemed to frost over at her words. His tone changed slightly as well, “Can't hold back anymore, huh?”

Agnes admitted, “I can't. I never thought you'd conspire with outsiders to go after Jared, Ryder. When did you become so vindictive?”

“Don't worry, he won't die. I'll get him the best lawyer. Even if he's found guilty, at most he'll get life without parole.”

Agnes looked at Ryder incredulously before managing to say, “You're vicious.”

But Ryder appeared indifferent, pulling a thorn from the cactus he was holding. “Agnes, I've said it before, for you, I'd do anything. You're all thorns, and I'll pick them off one by one until one day, you're smooth and pristine, ready to accept my embrace.”

Agnes was irritated, her eyes brimming with cold fury as she stared at Ryder. She had never imagined their relationship would come to this point since the day they met.

“Ryder, don't dream anymore. From now on, we're not even friends. State your terms.”
