Chapter 540: Chapter 542

Chapter 542 Laura was also a bit taken aback by Agnes‘ reaction.

How could this little lass be homeless?

All the assets of the Pritchard family back then, including Starlight International Group, real estate, and the Pritchard family’s mansion, all of it now belongs to her. Although she’s been missing over the years, but with Ivan at the helm, Starlight International Group has been thriving, almost regaining its former glory.

This girl really has the luck of the devil, so many top–notch guys are so good to her.

She holds the shares of Starlight International Group and is nominally the chairman of Starlight International Group.

Even if she completely ignores the company’s affairs and just relies on dividends, she’d have enough to compete with the country’s rich list.

Someone like that, crying in front of her and asking for shelter, must have an ulterior motive.

Already, there are reporters who are snapping away at this scene.

No matter what Agnes‘ purpose is, it’s a good thing that she didn’t cause a public scene.

No matter what Agnes‘ intentions are, Laura had to get through tonight first.

Laura would not allow her to ruin Beatrice’s birthday banquet and make Beatrice the laughing stock of everyone.

Otherwise, all their efforts over the past four years would be wasted.

Laura said, “How could i possibly say no to you? I’m over the moon that you’re back.”

With that, Laura even faked wiping away a tear from the corner of her eye.

Everyone was confused by this scène. Who exactly is this girl who just showed up?

At this point, Laura started introducing Agnes to everyone: “I would like to introduce everyone to my ex–husband’s daughter, Agnes. She and Beatrice are half–sisters, so it’s not strange that they look alike.”

Then she turned to Agnes as if to explain, “You’ve been gone so long you probably don’t know. Beatrice was in a car accident four years ago. She was lucky to survive but she hurt her brain and doesn’t remember the past, She doesn’t remember you, so you’ll need to be patient with her.”

Agnes didn’t know if Beatrice had told Laura about the reason for her accident.

Agnes pretended to understand, “So that’s why Beatrice suddenly didn’t recognize me. She lost her memory.”

After saying that, Agnes glanced in Beatrice’s direction.

Beatrice was standing there like a puppet, still somewhat unable to believe what was happening.

Agnes was back. She was really back.

Everyone finally understood the relationship.

So, this sudden appearance of a girl who looked like Ms. Beatrice was actually Ms. Beatrice’s half–sister.

That explains why they look similar.

But it seems like their relationship is quite harmonious.

Agnes‘ appearance was just treated as a minor episode.

After all, in the circle of the Capital’s wealthy, few people knew about their past.

Although Agnes was a popular celebrity four years ago, the entertainment industry has completely changed over the years, with wave after wave of newcomers.

Agnes only acted in one movie before leaving the entertainment circle, so everyone had long forgotten about her.

Besides, Agnes‘ current image is very different from the past, so no one would dig into who she really is.

This was fine too, Agnes didn’t want to attract too much attention.

The banquet hall was almost full.

Laura announced the start of the banquet, asking everyone to enjoy the food first as the auction would start later.
