Heartstrings on Fire novel Chapter 1331

Elton's voice was firm, "I don't care what tricks you want to play against me, but you won't use the child as a pawn, and you won't harm Agnes in any way, or I swear, I won't let you get away with it."

"Elton," Jenny replied with a smug grin, "do you really think you have the standing to challenge me now? Your company is under my control, and I have custody of the child. If you marry me like a good boy, maybe I'll consider sparing her. Otherwise, I can make life a living hell for both of you."

"Jenny, don't you dare!"

"Oh, I dare, Elton. Why don't you try me and see? You're just as powerless as a beggar on the street right now. Beg me, and maybe I'll cut you some slack."

"I'd rather die than beg you," Elton retorted.

Jenny's arrogance was palpable. "We'll see about that, Elton. You'll be on your knees begging soon enough."

With that, Jenny turned to leave, but she paused when she saw Agnes standing in the doorway. Her expression wavered for a moment before she restored her haughty demeanor. With the click of her high heels echoing through the room, she sashayed over to Agnes, who stood resolutely in her path.

Agnes stared at Jenny, almost not recognizing her. This Jenny wasn't the timid, shy girl who used to follow her around, always keeping her head down. Now, she was a vision of sophistication, with immaculate makeup, perfectly styled hair, and adorned in an outfit that screamed luxury, topped off with an extravagant fur wrap. The massive diamond on her ring finger glimmered like a lighthouse beacon.
