Heartstrings on Fire (Agnes and Jared)
Chapter 378

Chapter 378

Agnes can't for the life of her figure out if her mom's death really had anything to do with Alyssa

She doesn't want to go around pointing fingers without any solid proof.

But there's no denying that there was some sort of connection, some sort of story between Alyssa and her mom. That's a given.

Agnes stared at the picture, her fingers slowly tightening around it.

She was dead set on getting to the bottom of this

Laura was a big shot in the entertainment industry a decade ago.

So, she and Hamish were old buddies.

Her mom was a star before Laura and Alyssa and Julia were part of the same generation in showbiz.

Agnes' grandma once told her that

Julia was a big deal back in the day, starred in a ton of movies, and had a massive fan base.

Hamish has been in the biz for over twenty years.

So, he should have some memories of her mom.

So, the next day, Agnes took a newspaper and went to see Hamish

Hamish studied the old photo, then after squinting, remarked, "Agnes, where did you replace this vintage snapshot? These are familiar faces from the first graduating class of StoryMasters Academy. Most have made significant marks in the industry. See him? He's a well-established actor, almost fifty, yet still performing his own stunts in action films. He's never needed a stunt double, which is truly commendable. And this one- isn't he the head of DreamWeave Film Academy? He started with a lot of talent but later transitioned into business investment. Now he's a big name in real estate. And her, very talented and smart, though perhaps not Hollywood's typical look. She didn't rise to stardom, but she married well and moved abroad."

Hamish looked at the photo as if he was looking at old friends, enthusiastically recounting each person's life experiences and anecdotes to Agnes.

When he mentioned Julia, Hamish noticeably paused, "This one

Seeing Hamish's hesitation, Agnes quickly asked, "Hamish, do you know her? She's my mother"

Agnes is Preston's daughter, all everyone knew was that Preston's first wife had passed away. The past had been forgotten.

So, Hamish didn't immediately connect the dots that Agnes was Julia's daughter.

Hamish hesitated and said, "I do know her, but we never worked together, so we weren't close. Twenty years ago I was still an unknown director and Julia was already famous, so I didn't have the opportunity to work with her. But later when I gained some fame, Julia had already married and had kids, left the industry. I just remember her being devoted to charity work for many years, until later.

At this point, Hamish paused, glanced at Agnes with some restraint, then sighed, "I don't remember much about the past."

Agnes knew, Hamish must be thinking of her mother being accused of embezzlement, her reputation ruined, and her suicide.

Her mom was famous in the past, Hamish must have known.

He was just considering her feelings now.

As for this, Agnes didn't really want to bring it up.

She pointed directly to another person in the photo and asked, "Hamish, do you know this person?"

The person Agnes was pointing to was Alyssa.

Hamish frowned slightly and said, "She's Alyssa, the youngest outstanding student from StoryMasters Academy, recommended to college at sixteen, the only daughter of the Tim Group, isn't she Jared's sister?"
