Heartstrings on Fire novel Chapter 251

The host's face shifted.

He seemed to sniff something fishy.

But Claud had whipped out the paperwork, so there shouldn't be any room for doubt.

The necklace, "The Heart of the Kingdom," belonged to the Stone Group before it was auctioned off.

And the Stone Group was the high muck-a-muck of the exhibition.

If the big cheese said it was a misunderstanding, then it surely was one.

The host quickly regained his composure and handed "The Heart of the Kingdom" to Jared, saying, "Seems like a mix-up, we owe you, Mrs. Whitfield, an apology. Here's your necklace, Mr. Whitfield, why don't you do the honors?"

Jared took the necklace and began to walk slowly towards Agnes. She was clearly puzzled, having no idea what was happening.

Did Jared really buy the necklace for her? It didn't seem like his style, leaving her with a mind full of questions but no answers in sight.

Amidst everyone's curious gaze, Jared approached Agnes and positioned himself behind her. With the necklace in hand, he gently placed it around her neck, saying, "Darling, I'm sorry. I wanted to surprise you, but it ended up causing a misunderstanding. My bad."

Jared's voice was so tender that it filled the other ladies present with envy. What made this woman so special that she had Mr. Whitfield wrapped around her finger? In that moment, Agnes was deeply moved.

She looked down at the ruby necklace around her neck, her eyes welling up, "Why didn't you tell me sooner?"

Someone in the crowd shouted, "Kiss, kiss!"

And then almost everyone joined in the chant.

Jared gave a small smile, then cupped Agnes' face and planted a deep kiss...

All this was seen by Mamie, her fingers clenched tightly.

Finally, she turned and left.

For the rest of the time, Agnes was showered with envy and praise.

She went from being accused of a thief to the most envied woman in the world.
