Heartstrings on Fire novel Chapter 1205

At the Taylor mansion, tensions were rising. Elton had been hastily called back by Riley, alerting him to an unexpected visitor. Upon entering the house, Elton found Jenny, brazenly sitting on the living room sofa as if she belonged there, leaving Hancock Taylor, Elton's father, on the verge of a heart attack from anger.

This wasn't just any girl; it was Jenny, the one who had caused chaos in their lives years ago, nearly ruining Elton's future. Back then, she had schemed to seduce Elton and falsely claimed pregnancy, forcing him to consider marriage. Her deceit was exposed at their engagement party when she had bribed a doctor to stage a miscarriage, almost destroying the Taylor family's reputation.

Riley, Elton's sibling, despised Jenny deeply, viewing her as a stain on their household. Once her plot unraveled, Jenny was expelled from school and vanished, leaving the Taylors to pick up the pieces. They believed the nightmare was over, until now.

Six years later, Jenny had the audacity to return, claiming she had something significant to announce to Elton. Rumors suggested she had climbed the social ladder, now known as Mrs. Wilson, accompanied by bodyguards and luxury cars. It seemed she had finally secured a wealthy old man, Mr. Wilson, to elevate her status.

Riley couldn't conceal their contempt. "Elton, get rid of this shameless woman. We don't need her contaminating our home," they urged as soon as Elton arrived.

Jenny, unfazed, smiled and said, "Don't be so quick to dismiss me. We might end up under the same roof."

Riley fumed, "I don't typically resort to insults, but you deserve it. You think you can live with us? You're dreaming. The Taylor family has no place for someone as cunning as you. Leave before we force you out."

Despite her newfound wealth, Riley was disgusted by how Jenny had likely risen to her position. Marrying into affluence and attempting to return to the Taylors as if nothing had happened was appalling. The very idea of sharing their home with her was revolting.

Jenny remained composed, her focus solely on Elton, who returned her gaze with visible disgust.

"Let's take this outside, away from my parents," Elton suggested, not wanting to upset them further.

Jenny, however, was unmoved. "Why not here? What are you afraid of?" she challenged.

The tension in the room was thick, and Hancock Taylor finally spoke, his patience exhausted. "Get her out of here. I don't want to see her," he commanded, tapping his cane in frustration.

The Taylor home, once a sanctuary of peace, had become a battlefield due to Jenny's return—a ghost from the past they thought they'd left behind.
