Heartstrings on Fire novel Chapter 1245

Nate's thoughts mirrored Agnes's worries exactly.

Phenix had been convinced for the longest time that Kearney was Sean.

And Kearney himself seemed to have vanished from everyone's memory, like a ghost.

Phenix had thoroughly replaced the image of Sean with Kearney, as if Sean's face had been entirely erased from her mind.

But now, the truth was starting to unravel, and Agnes was utterly taken aback.

Taking a deep breath to steady herself, Agnes said, "There are only two possibilities here. One is that Phenix has snapped out of it and is back to her old self. The other is that she’s been pretending all along, fully aware that Kearney is not Sean."

Her heart pounded faster with each passing second as she delved deeper into the situation.

If it was the first scenario, if Phenix had come to her senses after their trip to Australia, then she would know Sean had died.

But what happened at Lake Michigan? Phenix might still be in the dark about that. Agnes herself wasn’t sure if Phenix knew about Kearney’s schemes or that Kearney was the one who killed Sean.

According to Nate’s intel, Phenix was still spending her days with Kearney, showing no signs of distress. If that were the case, she likely didn’t know the full story yet.

But if it were the second possibility...

If Phenix had been faking it all along, then things were far more serious. She would be aware that Kearney was Sean’s murderer, that he had done unspeakable things, even drugged and violated her.

If Phenix knew all this yet feigned ignorance, what did that mean?
