Heartstrings on Fire

Chapter 754
This woman was identical to Agnes. She looked like a mirror reflection of Agnes, even more than Beatrice who did surgery. But
she seemed young, a petite and slender figure with short hair. Her demeanor was quite different from Beatrice’s.
Mr. K strolled around the woman, “Hey, what’s your name?”
The woman glanced at him nonchalantly. “Agnes.”
Mr. K turned to Jared in surprise, “Wow, Jared, she even has the same name.”
But something didn’t feel right. He looked at Agnes, then back at Jared Both were gazing at him with an affectionate sort of pity.
Finally, Mr. K realized that the person standing before him wasn’t a substitute. It was Agnes herself!
Stuttering, Mr. K exclaimed, “Agnes, it’s really you”
Agnes smirked at him. “I believe you were just about to give me a lesson.”
Mr. K almost fell to his knees. He quickly put on a fawning smile, “Agnes, I wouldn’t dare. You know I just like to run my mouth. I
might rough up Jared a bit, but I wouldn’t dare lay a finger on you. Plus, everyone knows you’re a black–belt in karate.”
Jared’s icy voice came from behind him, “I’ve been itching for a fight lately, looking for someone to practice with me.”
Mr. K suddenly felt like he was caught between a rock and a hard place. He had managed to offend both of them.
Mr. K said, “Agnes, you look stunning today. I’ve got to go, I’ve got some work to do.”
With that, he opened the office door and bolted. As he left, he muttered, “Damn, Jared is so unlucky. After four years, he’s still
under the thumb of the same woman Love is a dangerous thing, I’ll never get involved with it, ever.”
At that time, Mr. K had no idea how soon he would break his promise.
Agnes watched him leave, asking, “How old is Mr. K this year?”
“22”
“Not a child anymore, but he still acts like a child”

“He’s just a kid at heart. Besides computer data, there’s nothing else in his head.”
“I guess all geniuses are socially inept, just like Nate”
“Who’s Nate?”
Agnes smiled, “A person from Manhattan, also Nocturne’s mentor, a computer whiz.”
Agnes didn’t want to say much about Nate, Kearney, and Phenix. These people’s identities were usually murky. Once exposed,
they could easily find themselves in danger. So Agnes avoided talking about them whenever she could!.
Of course, Jared didn’t pry. He knew that Agnes had lately been dealing with some people with mysterious backgrounds, and
Even Reggie Albert was
somehow involved.
Jared had casually asked about it once, and Agnes had simply said that she had been saved by someone in the past, who she
now called her godfather. This godfather had several children, who were the mysterious figures now appearing in her life. But
Agnes didn’t want to elaborate
Jared respected her privacy and didn’t press her on it. However, Agnes did say that when the time was right, she would
introduce Jared to her godfather And her godfather was Reggie.
The name stirred a complex mix of emotions in Jared.
Reggie, Regret? Why did he choose that name?
One day, he would get to the bottom of it.
