Heartstrings on Fire (Agnes and Jared)
Chapter 440

Chapter 440

After Agnes went upstairs, Laura's face changed immediately.

She'd never noticed before, how smart this little girl really was.

Agnes seemed indifferent to the household affairs on the surface, but unexpectedly, she knew everything so clearly.

Laura sneered, it was impossible to sell all her properties and only keep Julia's house.

1

The house was actually mortgaged to an informal auction house.

The auction process wouldn't be publicized.

Better just let the little girl feel at ease, and not suspect anything.

By the time the house was auctioned off, she wouldn't be able to do anything about it.

But, she needed to distract the girl, so she wouldn't keep her eyes on this matter.

Right now, she wasn't sure about her relationship with Jared.

If Jared intervened, it's gonna get even worse.

After returning to her room, Agnes laid on her bed, feeling powerless.

Her stomach started to hurt.

It had been the longest time of her life.

And she had no idea when it would end.

She didn't believe'a word Laura said.

She had to replace a way.

She couldn't let Laura sell the old house easily.

As Agnes was lying on the bed in a daze, her phone suddenly rang.

She glanced at it, it was an unknown number.

She didn't want to pick it up initially, but then noticed the caller ID showed it was from the Capital.

She didn't seem to know anyone from there.

Her heart started to race.

She had a hunch, this wasn't a prank call,

After hesitating for a moment, Agnes picked up the phone.

A crisp female voice came from the other end, "Is this Ms. Pritchard? I'm sorry to disturb you, I am Valeria Thomas, I would like to meet you." Agnes was taken aback to receive a call from Valeria.

If it wasn't for hearing her name from Kerri Bradford this morning, she wouldn't have known her.

"How did you get my number?”

"I have my ways, but if I have disturbed you, Ms. Pritchard, I apologize. I have something to discuss with you... about your stepmother."

Upon the mention of Laura, Agnes felt a slight stir in her heart.

Laura had a past with Berlin, and Valeria was Berlin's daughter.

Was there a connection there?

"What do you need from me?"

"It's not convenient on the phone. Seven in the evening, Cloud View, I invite you to dinner."

And with that, the call ended.

Agnes didn't even get a chance to respond.

But the voice was so determined, as if she knew Agnes would surely come.

And sure enough, Agnes arrived at Cloud View at seven.

Cloud View was unusually quiet today, it had been booked out, no other customers.

As soon as Agnes walked in, a waiter guided her.

Finally, Agnes saw a woman by the window.

The woman was dressed in a clean-cut white suit, leaving a strong impression.

Her hair was shoulder-length, neat and tidy, she looked confident.

Her makeup was not flashy, but the ultimate elegance and refinement were impossible to ignore.

At the moment, she seemed to be working, in front of her was a laptop, with headphones on, speaking fluent French.

The woman, exuding an elite aura, sat there, like a bright scenery.
