Heartstrings on Fire novel Chapter 14

When Agnes rushed in, Kerri was being pinned down on the lab bench by a few people.

Cecile was holding a scalpel, lightly tracing it across Kerri's face, "So you had the audacity to seduce Prince, huh? I'm going to ruin your pretty face. Let's see if Prince will even glance at you after that!"

Kerri kept trying to explain, "I really did not seduce him. We're both medical students in the same research group. Talking is normal. I spoke to him and you are accusing me of seducing him. If you occasionally chew a bone, should I call you a dog? Would you accept that?"

Cecile angrily shot back, "How dare you insult me? You're really too big for your boots. I think it's about time someone taught you a lesson."

The scalpel in her hand was about to slash down.

"Stop!" Agnes shouted from the doorway.

Everyone turned to look at the door, Cecile also froze when she saw Agnes.

Agnes was well-known at school. Not only because of her pretty face, but also because of her family background. She was the daughter of Preston, a big shot in the entertainment industry, who controlled Starlight International Group, one of the biggest talent agencies in the country.

Cecile had always wanted to befriend Agnes at school because she was studying acting. But Agnes didn't give her the time of day, and even reported the bullying incident that nearly got Cecile expelled. This created a deep-seated animosity between them.

Cecile warned, "Agnes, you better keep your nose out of my business, or we'll settle old scores today."
