Chapter 336 Even if something major was up at home, it was always Preston who would call.
Agnes stared at the caller ID on her phone, her brows furrowing slightly, but in the end, she picked up.
Lauraâs gentle voice came through the phone. âAgnes, will you come home for dinner tonight? Iâve made your favorite dishes.â
Hearing her voice, Agnes felt a pang of discomfort.
Lauraâs words from before were like thoms stuck in her heart.
She said her mother had brought it on herself and deserved her fate.
Even if her mother had done something wrong, Agnes didnât think Laura had the right to say these things.
Agnesâ voice was cold, âI have something on tonight. I wonât be home.â
âAgnes, are you still upset with me?â Laura asked, âI want to apologize for what happened the other day. Thatâs all in the past. I shouldnât have said those things. made you bear it all. Your mother was just impulsive back then and I shouldnât have slandered her out of spite. Agnes, Iâm a woman too. Your fatherâs heart still belongs to your mother, and I was just jealous. But can you forgive me this once? Iâve been part of this family for ten years. You might not consider me family, but I think of you as my own daughter. Let tonightâs dinner be my apology, okay?â
Agnes felt a whirlwind of emotions.
Even though she never considered Laura as family, Laura was her fatherâs wife and they had a child together She and Beatrice might not get along, but they shared the same blood.
If Laura really had nothing to do with her motherâs death, Agnes didnât see a need to hold a grudge.
After some hesitation, Agnes agreed, âAlright, Iâll be home tonight.â
âDonât forget to bring Jared with you. Iâve made his favorite dishes too.â
After she hung up. Agnes called Jared In no time, Jared came to pick her up and they both headed to the Pritchard family mansion.
On the drive, Jared suddenly asked, âOh, I forgot to ask, did your father sort out his companyâs issues?â
Agnes wasnât too clear on the current situation of Starlight International Group, but she gave all the money she received to help her father.
Preston didnât mention specifics after that.
Agnes replied, âItâs being sorted. Donât worry too much. If anything really happens, Iâll let you knowâ
Jared nodded, he had done some digging himself.
Starlight International Group was in dire straits, with only one artist, Justin, holding the fort. The others had already jumped ship.
The company was also facing severe financial issues He had already contacted Preston privately and sent a substantial amount of money in the name of the Tim Group.
Starlight International Group had temporarily escaped its woes, but Jared didnât tell Agnes about this.
Agnes was stubborn and sensitive.
Jared knew she didnât want their marriage to be a financial crutch for the family So, she insisted on signing up for a TV series and gave all the income to Preston.
The only condition Jared had when he helped Preston was not to use Agnesâ money.
He would find an excuse to return the money to her in time After all, it was her first paycheck, and it shouldnât be used to pay off someone elseâs debts.
