Heartstrings On Fire

Chapter 15

No doubt about it, Ryder had a hell of a handsome face. You could tell just by the way Cecile, who was mad as hell a moment ago, was now blushing like a ripe tomato. And the girls around her were practically shooting heart eyes.

Agnes was quick off the mark, and blurted out, “Good timing, handsome. How can you sit back and watch your crazy fans bully other students in your name? Sure, it’s not directly your fault, but it’s happening because of you Can’t you rein in your fans a bit? Or do you actually enjoy being put on a pedestal?”

Agnes knew her words were a bit harsh, and she knew none of this was really Ryder’s fault But his hands–off attitude was basically that of a bystander, and he was the only one who could get these people to cool their jets.

She raised her hand to slap Agnes. But her hand was stopped mid–air by Ryder. His voice was cold as ice, “When are you going to stop this nonsense?”
