Heartstrings on Fire novel Chapter 185

Agnes went upstairs with Jared, giving a nod to Tim as they passed by.

They hung out for a bit. Suddenly, the butler popped up, "Sir, your guests have arrived."

Tim cracked a satisfied smile, "Jared, come down with me to welcome the guests. Agnes, go fetch Ryder and both of you head straight to the dining room."

Agnes gave a curt nod.

Tim and Jared went downstairs.

Agnes was taken aback for a moment, then turned around to find Ryder.

The closer she got to Ryder's room, the more peeved she felt.

Finally, she stopped at the door.

Agnes took a deep breath, getting ready to knock, but before her fingers touched the door, it swung open.

Ryder was standing there.

Agnes froze, hand still hanging in mid-air.

Ryder seemed just as surprised to see Agnes at his door. He paused, then scowled, "What do you want?"

Agnes asked, "Why did you help Cecile today? She was clearly in the wrong."

Agnes couldn't hold back her annoyance.

Ryder replied, "I just told the truth. You really didn't need to waste your energy."

Agnes was riled up by his words, "So, you're so sure you guys are going to win, huh?"

"I never do anything I'm not confident about."

"So, you joined Cecile's team just to help her beat me? Ryder, what did I do wrong? Why are you treating me this way?"

Ryder's gaze darkened, "You didn't do anything wrong."

Agnes was confused, "Then why are you treating me this way?"
