Heartstrings on Fire

Chapter 811
Since Ryder took over as the CEO of the Thomas Group, there was no way a project of that magnitude could be happening
without his permission.
Jared spoke up. “You don’t need to worry about the business side of things”
But how could she not worry? What exactly is Ryder up to?
For some reason, Agnes had a sinking feeling in her gut Echoing in her head was a warning from Alyssa, I know Ryder and
Jared well I don’t want them at each other’s throats over you”
Agnes couldn’t tell why that particular warning came to mind. But she couldn’t shake the nagging sense of foreboding Perhaps
this was just the beginning
Valeria stated, “Ryder’s intent is clear he’s trying to one up his uncle. The Thomas Group isn’t exactly known for their prowess in
the pharmaceutical sector, yet he’s dead set on building the largest pharmacy hub domestic, with an incredibly large budget
That’s why I left the Thomas Group I’ll admit he’s a skilled physician, but he’s no businessman He’s turned commerce into a
spiteful game. A kingdom, vast as it may be, is in peril without a wise ruler Valerias tone was cool and detached, as if she spoke
for Jared’s benefit alone
Agnes, however, was still panting, trying to regain her composure. The cold reality was setting in, if Ryder was fighting over on
Harmony Hollow’s territory just to spite Jared, then this was only the first step in using the Thomas Group to weaken Jared’s
influence. The extent of his future actions was impossible to gauge
A chill crept up Agnes spine
Jared, however, chuckled, “Every new sheriff wants to make a mark. Ryder’s eagerness to prove himself is understandable
Valeria, you’re wrong about one thing. I groomed Ryder myself He’s audacious yet meticulous, with a keen eye for detail. He’s
going to be a business titan”Books Chapters Are Daily Updated Join & Stay Updated For All Books Updates...
There was an unmistakable note of pride in Jared’s voice
Agnes knew that Jared harbored a kind of paternal fondness for Ryder a sentiment that didn’t view Ryder as a rival, and that was
what worried Agnes

Jared was exceptional, a genius in the cutthroat game of business, but he was too sentimental, especially when it came to family
Agnes greatest fear just like Alyssa had predicted, was that the two of them would end up hurting each other–maybe even
destroying each other
The whole day, the turmoil of these thoughts kept Agnes on edge.
The next morning bright and early, the head of station himself called Agnes, asking her to come to the TV station
Agnes figured it was time to put the news scandal to rest
Since yesterday, Jared had mobilized some media forces to quash the article about Sharon online. The buzz had certainly died
down considerably, but the story had already gone viral
Leo was a constant presence of Sharon, Agnes just hoped Sharon could get better.
Agnes arrived at the TV station at eight o’clock sharp
The head of station called her into his office night away Several department heads were there, and Yolanda, too.
As soon as Agnes walked in, the head of station came forward to apologize, “Agnes, I’ve looked into the article mess, and it
turns out Yolanda tampered with your computer and published that piece She’s confessed to everything We wronged you”
Turning to Yolanda, the manager barked, ‘Director Bowman, apologize to Agnes instant
Yolanda approached, her face etched with frustration and resentment, Agnes, I’m sorry I was foolish, and I hope you can forgive
me. Let’s put our differences behind us and move forward
But Agnes just scoffed, “If apologies could erase misdeeds, we wouldn’t have a need for law enforcement or the court of law,
would we?
