Heartstrings on Fire novel Chapter 721

Countess Alexandra was taken aback. With a second look at Kearney, she asked, "Kearney, isn't Agnes your fiancée?"

A hint of hurt flashed across Kearney's face as he replied, "I wasn't prepared. I thought it was the right time. I'll have a serious talk with her. She's a lovely and kind-hearted girl, that's why many people love her."

Everyone looked at Kearney with sympathy. It was clear that he had no idea this was coming. He was so close to success, yet a curveball was thrown his way. That must have been hard to swallow.

At this moment, Bella came to Kearney's side.

Seeing the pain etched on Kearney's face, Bella felt a pang in her heart. She comforted him in her broken English, "Kearney, out with the old, in with the new, just like the saying goes. Don't be upset. You're so great, I can be your girlfriend."

Bella's words shocked Count and Countess Alexandra, and Valeria.

It was fortunate that the surrounding French guests didn't understand Bella’s words.

Valeria was particularly surprised.

Kearney was indeed a formidable character. Although she couldn't tell if his feelings for Agnes were genuine or fake, he managed to win the heart of Bella, the little princess, on their first meeting. This rival was not to be underestimated, she thought.

After Agnes ran out of the hall, she didn't know where she was going.

It wasn't out of anger. The incident was indeed beyond her expectations, but it wasn't enough to make her lose control. It was when she looked at Kearney, he gave her a signal to run out.

Agnes knew that staying at the event would only make things even more awkward, and she had no idea what Jared might do.
