Heartstrings on Fire novel Chapter 540

Beatrice felt a sharp terror rising from the pit of her stomach, spreading throughout her body in a flash.

She stared at the woman across her, Agnes, her body shaking uncontrollably.

It had been years.

Beatrice would sometimes wake up from nightmares about that one night.

She didn't exactly know who had saved Agnes back then.

She harbored a deep fear for Agnes.

She'd done so much, tried so hard to get Agnes out of the picture, but she was the one who ended up hurt.

It was as though God had a soft spot for Agnes, always getting her out of trouble.

Fortunately, Agnes had disappeared four years ago and no one knew where she went or what had happened to her.

Jared had searched frantically for her, but even he didn't find a trace.

Beatrice let out a sigh of relief in her heart, maybe that woman was already dead.

If Agnes was indeed dead, that would be the best.

There would be no more powerful rivals in this world.

Even if Jared loved her, he could do nothing.

All these years, she had pretended Jared was still her brother-in-law.

She faked amnesia, mimicking every move Agnes made.

What she once hated had now become her favorite pastime.

Sometimes, Beatrice even thought she was Agnes, the woman deeply loved by Jared.

Sometimes, Jared looked at her as if he was in a daze.

That gave Beatrice a glimmer of hope.

As time passed, Jared would eventually blur the lines between the real and the fake.

But Beatrice was still filled with fear.

What if Agnes came back one day?
