Heartstrings on Fire Chapter 167

Chapter 167 

Shawn was eyeing everyone around him carefully. Jared didn’t seem to be stopping him, so he gave the bottle another spin. 

But, when the bottle came to a halt, it was once again pointing at Agnes, 

Everyone fell silent. 

Shawn, feeling a bit awkward, said to Agnes, “Agnes, I didn’t cheat, but your luck is really.” 

With everyone watching, there was no way Shawn could have cheated. 

Agnes accepted the challenge and asked Mamie, “What do you want me to do this time?”

Mamie had a cold look on her face. All eyes were on her. She stated slowly and clearly, “I want you to divorce Jared.” 

The room fell silent immediately. Things seemed to be getting serious. 

Everyone present knew that Mamie and Jared were childhood sweethearts. Their wedding news had even been rumored before. However, Jared suddenly announced that he was getting married with a young woman. The reason behind this was unknown to outsiders. 

But Mamie was also quite the character. She was a top star in the entertainment industry, the young lady of the Bartley family, pursued by many. 

To outsiders, she and Jared seemed equal rivals. Surely, she wouldn’t be troubled over a relationship. But it seemed like the reality was different. Now, her saying these words showed that she hadn’t let go of Jared. 

Everyone was stunned, unsure of how to diffuse the situation. 

Shawn said, “Mamie, it’s just a game, no need to take it so seriously.” 

Mamie looked at Agnes firmly, “Isn’t life just a game? If you’re in, you’ve got to play by the rules.” 

Agnes, without a moment’s hesitation, stood up and took a bottle of liquor from the box. She was about to chug it down but was stopped by Jared, “What do you think you’re doing?”

Shawn explained, “That’s the rule of the game. If you can’t complete the challenge, you have to drink a bottle. But this is a rare strong liquor. It could be bad for Agnes.” Jared took the bottle from Agnes and said, “The rules didn’t say someone else can’t drink for you, right?” 

Shawn quickly responded, “No, they didn’t.” 

Jared said calmly, “Agnes is my wife, and we are one. If she’s to be punished, then I’ll drink for her.” 

As he finished, Jared had already popped the bottle open and started drinking slowly. 

Everyone was taken aback. They all knew Jared’s words were actually meant for Mamie. 

Everyone felt a bit sorry for Mamie. How hurt must a woman be to use a game to try to win back her love? But they all knew, it was just a game for fun. Could it really change the current situation? 

Jared had made his stance very clear. 

Agnes stood there, bewildered, trying to stop him. But Jared gave her a comforting look, signaling her not to worry. Agnes didn’t know much about liquor, so she wasn’t aware of the potential consequences of the strong drink. But Mamie did. Seeing that Jared had drunk half of it, she said, “That’s vodka from the Balkans in Bulgaria. Aren’t you afraid of risking your life drinking like this?” 

Jared didn’t stop and drank it all in one go. The moment he put the bottle down on the table, everyone clapped for him. 

Jared didn’t seem to be affected by the drink, maintaining his calm and elegance. He said in a voice as calm as the breeze, “Asking me to divorce is like asking me to end my life.”
