Heartstrings On Fire

Chapter 24

Ryder strolled over, eyed Agnes and asked, “What are you doing here?”

Caught off guard. Agnes stammered, “It’s a long story”

The butler inquired, “Mr. Ryder, do you know them?”

Ryder pointed at Agnes and said, “She’s a friend”

He then glanced at Jenny and declared casually, “Don’t know this one though”

The butler got the drift immediately, and his attitude towards Agnes changed, “Since you’re a friend of Mr. Ryder, you can go in. But as for you, miss, without an invitation, you need to leave. If you try to sneak in over the wall again, we’ll call the cops.”

Jenny got kicked out.

Standing outside the Whitfield family mansion, Jenny was fuming. She couldn’t believe that Agnes had somehow gotten in with Ryder. Inside, it was all glitz and glamour, but she had got no part in it!
