Heartstrings on Fire (Agnes and Jared)

Chapter 178

After Agnes came out, she gave Jared a ring.

Jared was in a meeting, but he paused it, and went to the balcony to answer, “Agnes, what’s up?”

Agnes asked, “Can you do me a favor?”

“Shoot.”

“I remember you said you have a hacker mate, the one who traced back the anonymous posts Jenny

Fitz spread on the school forum. Can you pass me his contacts? I need him to do me a favor”

Jared responded, “Sure, I’ll shoot his info your way later.”

It took Agnes by surprise how quickly Jared agreed, so she asked, “Aren’t you curious about what favor

I need?”

Jared said, “If you wanted to tell me, you would’ve.”

Agnes thought it was unnecessary to bother Jared about it. Plus, what she needed was kinda childish,

so she said, “I’ll fill you in when I get the chance.”

“Sounds good.” Jared’s voice was gentle.

After hanging up, Jared dialed Mr. K’s number.

Mr. K responded, “I’ll go all out.”

Jared said, “Report back to me afterwards.”

Mr. K retorted, “Isn’t that a bit much? Why are you always keeping tabs on her?”

Jared countered, “Our company’s tech director position is still up for grabs. Maybe I should have a chat

with your mom?”

“Jared, I messed up! My mom still thinks I’m in the States, don’t spill the beans. Whatever Agnes asks

me to do, I’ll keep you posted.”–

Agnes soon received a call from an unknown number: “Hello, this is Mr. K, what can I do for you?”

Agnes made her request. Mr. K assured her, “No problem, I’ll sort it out in no time.”

Agnes felt a bit embarrassed, “Thanks, sorry for the trouble.”

Mr. K cheerfully said, “It’s okay! Jared’s business is my business, Jared’s wife is my…”

Agnes was taken aback.

Mr. K realized he’d put his foot in his mouth and quickly apologized, “Sorry, I misspoke, don’t take it NôvelDrama.Org holds © this.

personally. I’ll get back to you.”

With that, Mr. Khung up.

Agnes was still a bit dazed.

Why did this guy seem so unreliable?

-But as it turned out, although Mr. K was a bit of a chatterbox, he was top notch.

In the afternoon, Agnes’s votes started to skyrocket.

By the cut-off time for voting, Agnes had just edged out Cecile Higgins by a single vote.

Agnes had asked Mr. K to help her rig the votes. She told him that she just needed to beat the original

first place by a hair.

And this “hair” turned out to be one vote.

It was clear that in the afternoon, Cecile was also rallying for votes.

But, she was always held back by Mr. K.

The video of Agnes and Cecile’s morning conversation at the classroom door was also uploaded to the

school forum. Soon, the whole school knew that these two popular girls were officially at war!
