Chapter 324 Before they left, grandma handed Jared a bag with a pair of handmade cotton shoes in it. âI made these shoes for you. I planned to spend a couple more days on them, but since youâre leaving so suddenly, I finished them last night. Not sure if theyâll fit though.â
Agnes had never seen Jared so excited.
He tried the shoes on immediately and ran a couple of laps in the yard like a kid: âGrandma, the shoes fit perfectly. Thank you.â
And then he refused to take them off.
Grandma was also thrilled. As they pulled away, she stood in the doorway.
Jared watched her leaning against the door frame in the rear view mirror. He said to Agnes, âI think grandma is too lonely. We should bring her to the city to live with us.â
Agnes shook her head: Tve told you many times, she wonât leave her farmland and sheep. Sheâs used to the country life and wouldnât fit in the city. Let her live her way.â
Jared nodded, âThen we must come back to visit her more often.â
Agnes smiled and held Jaredâs hand: âThank you. Youâve been working hard these days.â
âItâs nothing. I actually had a pretty chill time. But why did you decide to come back so soon? I really donât want to go back to work! If youâre successful, could you consider raising me?â
Agnes didnât expect Jared to say such a thing.
She pretended to be serious: âWhat is your specialty that makes it worth my raising?â
Jared replied honestly: Tm good with my hands and Iâm not clingy. Does that count?
Agnes was speechless.
After returning. Jared went to the office.
Agnes knew that he would be very busy for a while.
After all, the Tim Group was a huge business empire, being able to take a few days off was a luxury for him.
Agnes returned to the Pritchard family.
As the butler opened the door, Agnes asked: âWhereâs my dad?â
âHeâs in the study Agnes nodded and went straight upstairs.
The study door wasnât completely shut. Agnes saw her father sitting at his desk, smoking He looked troubled by a pile of documents on the table.
Suddenly, he threw all the documents to the floor in frustration, smashing the ashtray in the process.
Agnes frowned, pushed the door and went in.
Preston seemed slightly stunned when he saw Agnes.
Then he hid his imitated expression and said gently: âAgnes, youâre back.â
Agnes looked at the mess on the floor and asked. âWhat happened?â
Preston stood up: âNothing. Itâs just a minor issue at the company. Donât worry.â
Agnes knew all about the companyâs issues, and they were definitely not minor.
But for now, she was also looking for solutions.
Agnes started Tve signed a contract with Century Entertainment for one million dollars. Plus my previous eamings, thatâs a total of 1.2 million. Iâll transfer this money to your account as soon as possible. You can use it to deal with the current difficulties. If thatâs not enough, Fl figure out something else.â
Preston immediately looked ashamed: âHow can I use your money, especially when youâve worked so hard for it.â
Preston knew Agnes didnât want to develop a career in the entertainment industry Signing with Century Entertainment was clearly for the signing fee âLetâs not talk about other things during this special time. Anyway, I wonât just sit by and watch Starlight International Group go bankrupt. After all, mom co-founded this companyâ said Agnes The mention of Agnesâs mother seemed to change Prestonâs expression slightly
