Agnes mulled it over for a bit, then went back to her room to grab that check. Then she headed to
Preston’s office.
Preston was just sitting on the couch zoning out.
Agnes walked over and handed him the check, “Dad, you hang on to this for now. It may not do much,
but it’s better than nothing”
Preston looked up. “Agnes.”
“Consider it as a loan from the Tim Group. I’ll figure out a way to pay it back. I’ll try to find other sources
of cash too. I’ve just taken a gig as a brand spokesperson, once I get the fees for that, and payment for
my previous film and some other income, I’ll transfer it all to your bank account.
Preston felt uneasy, “Agnes, you don’t have to do this. I don’t want to drag you down
Agnes was cool as a cucumber, “Look, the way things are at home, I can’t just turn a blind eye. I’ll do
my best, but I hope you guys won’t rely on Jared. He’s my husband, but he doesn’t owe us anything.”
Preston sighed, “Don’t worry. No matter what Laura says, I won’t jeopardize your happiness. I owe you
too much. You’ve finally found a home where I can rest easy. I won’t let anyone look down on you.”
That wasn’t really what Agnes meant. In fact, if there were no other options left, Agnes would definitely
ask Jared for help.
But Agnes hoped that as long as there were other options, they wouldn’t view the Whitfield family as
their only hope.
As Agnes left the study, she was stopped right at the door by Beatrice.
“Agnes, you’re so low! That money was clearly borrowed by me.”
Agnes looked at her coldly. “Since you overheard my conversation with Dad in the study, you should
know, I’ll be paying Jared back this money. If you want this favor, then write a check, I’ll give it to Jared,
and you can pay him back.”
Beatrice looked at Agnes with disdain, “Jared is your husband, Isn’t his money your money? I won’t fall
for your trick and take on this debt for no reason.”
“Since you also know that his money is my money, then what does my money have to do with you?”
Beatrice was furious, “Agnes, don’t get cocky! Everything you have now will be mine sooner or later!
Just wait and watch!”
Agnes had no interest in arguing with her
She went straight into her room, closed and locked the door, leaving Beatrice to pound on the door in
anger.
In the following days, Agnes was still swamped with work.
Yesterday, she flew to S City. This year’s SH Gala was being held there.
Her bet with Mamie had already caused a stir online. Most people thought Agnes was being
overconfident and was asking for trouble. Of course, there were also people praising her for her
courage and willingness to challenge a top star
The day before the gala, Agnes was scheduled to walk the red carpet with Justin.
Justin had been abroad shooting commercials these few days, so Agnes rarely had the chance to see
him.
When Justin arrived and saw Agnes, he started scolding her, “Why did you bet with Mamie? You have Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
no chance of winning, why do something so foolish?”
Agnes laughed and replied, “That was just an impulsive thing, but what if I get lucky?”
“No matter how lucky you are, you can’t win, Justin was really pissed.
