Heartstrings on Fire novel Chapter 571

Upon hearing this, Kevin instantly fell silent.

Agnes had heard about this before.

Valeria held a significant position in the Thomas family, even surpassing Mr. Berlin.

But her status wasn't given by the Thomas family, it was earned by her own abilities in the Thomas Group.

Raleign and Kevin were both directors of the Thomas Group, but their positions were only in name with no actual power.

Valeria, however, was the CEO of the Thomas Group, holding true power.

Even within the Thomas family, her words carried heavy weight, second only to the head of the Thomas family.

Raleign changed the topic, "Valeria hasn't been home for over half a year, I wonder if she'll bring her mysterious fiancé for us to meet this time."

Kevin snorted, "Mysterious? Isn't he just the CEO of the Tim Group, Jared Whitfield, Ryder's... uncle?"

Everyone knew a bit about the relationship between Jared and Ryder, but not much.

After all, when Ryder returned to the Thomas family, the rumors about Ryder's uncle becoming his brother were quickly squashed.

But rumors always have a source, and the Thomas family knew it was true.

But this was considered taboo in the Thomas family. Supposedly, the head of the Thomas family divorced because he couldn't stand that Alyssa Whitfield's brother was actually his son, born when he was just 16.

At the time of the divorce, Raleign and Kevin were young and had only faint memories of their stepmother.

She was a beautiful but cold woman.

From the day she married their father, she never seemed to smile.

They knew even less about the real reason for the divorce, only remembering that it happened quietly and without warning.

Upon hearing Jared's name, Agnes was slightly taken aback.

Everyone knew Valeria's fiancé was Jared.

But Agnes was curious, could a person like Valeria tolerate her fiancé having a flirtatious relationship with her stepsister?

In Agnes' memory, she and Valeria once teamed up to against Laura.
