Heartstrings on Fire Novel Full Episode

Chapter 687 

Agnes whirled around, only to find her neck strangled from behind before she could even react. She tried to fight back, but her assailant had anticipated this, and promptly shoved a chloroform–soaked cloth over her mouth and nose. 

Agnes only struggled for a moment before her consciousness started to fade, but before her eyes closed, she faintly recognized that face. It was Hammer, the butler of the Thomas family. 

Hammer had been trailing Agnes for several days now. But the girl was vigilant, nearly exposing him on multiple occasions. Thankfully, today, he had found the perfect opportunity. 

Agnes was staying at Eden Nights before, a place Hammer had no chance to make a move on. 

However, Agnes had moved out two days ago for some reason. 

Now, she was staying in a small inn. 

The underground parking was simple and the security cameras were long broken. 

This was the perfect time to strike. 

Hammer, with a cruel determination, pressed the cloth harder against Agnes‘ mouth and nose. 

Agnes struggled for a moment, but quickly lost her senses under the influence of chloroform. 

Looking around, Hammer ensured no one was in sight. 

He hurriedly shoved Agnes into the backseat, jumped into the driver’s seat and ignited the engine. But just as Hammer’s car was about to exit the underground car park, Jared’s car made a U–turn back. 

Hammer had watched from the shadows as the two had argued earlier. He had decided to strike after Jared left, when Agnes was in a state of shock and less alert. But Hammer hadn’t expected Jared to return so quickly. 

Trying to stay calm, Hammer drove past Jared’s car. 

Agnes was now lying in the backseat of his car, and he could only hope that Jared didn’t see it. 

Still Hammer couldn’t help but feel anxious and sped up. 

Jared drove into the car park and noticed something amiss. 

Agnes‘ car door was still open, a set of keys lay on the ground next to the car. 

And just a moment ago, he saw a car leaving. The driver seemed vaguely familiar. 

Jared suddenly recalled, that man was Hammer. 

A horrible thought dawned on Jared. 

He immediately spun his car around, following in pursuit. 

Hammer exited the car park and merged onto the city’s elevated highway. But not long after, he noticed Jared’s car tailing him. His heart pounded in his chest. 

If he was caught, and Agnes was found unconscious in his car, he was done for 

Hammer pushed his car to its maximum speed. 

He absolutely couldn’t let Jared catch up. Failure was not an option. But as Jared watched the car in front speed up frantically, he became more certain something was amiss. 

Was Agnes in the car? What was Hammer trying to do? 

Jared didn’t have time to ponder. His only goal was to stop the car in front. 

However, Hammer was driving recklessly. 

Jared didn’t want to push him too hard, if Agnes was in the car, and an accident occurred… 

Jared couldn’t bare to think about it. 

Still, he kept a safe but close distance from the car in front. 

Finally, Hammer’s car entered a tunnel. 

The tunnel was narrow and built under the river. 

As Hammer approached the tunnel entrance, he saw it blocked by a line of police cars. 

During the chase, Jared had already called the police. 

Now, at least four police cars were waiting at the tunnel entrance, ready to capture Hammer.
