Heartstrings on Fire novel Chapter 171

Right now, Agnes just wanted to find a place to hide. She had zero memory of what Jared had told her, but there were some things she couldn't just spill out.

She was a lightweight when it came to drinking, and she wasn’t a pleasant drunk. On top of that, she had ten years of taekwondo under her belt, so she was strong.

What Jared said wasn't entirely out of the question. Agnes was so embarrassed she totally forgot what she was originally talking about. She thought they were both drunk that day, so that’s why...

Suddenly, Agnes remembered something. She asked, "Aren't you the one who can't get drunk?"

Brayden had just mentioned that Jared could hold his liquor. He'd just downed a bottle of hard liquor and was totally fine now. Meanwhile, Mamie was acting out after just two sips, showing how strong that stuff was.

Jared nodded, "Indeed, I can hold my liquor pretty well."

Agnes asked, "Then how did you get drunk at that dinner with Director Zoe?"

That time Jared, as an investor, had gotten drunk at a dinner. Ivan ended up dumping him on her. In the end, Agnes had to book a room at the hotel.

At that time, Agnes was mad at Jared because of his relationship with Mamie, but that day, Jared ended up having the upper hand.

Jared said casually, "Agnes, they say some people are born with a worm inside them, so they don't get drunk. But sometimes the worm needs to rest. That day, the worm inside me happened to be resting."

Agnes was confused, thinking about what kind of worm he was talking about. When she turned her head and saw the smirk on Jared's face, Agnes suddenly got mad, "Jared, are you messing with me again?"
