Chapter 426 Agnes said, âThe Whitfields ainât some ATM for us Pritchards. They ainât obligated to save Starlight International, and I ainât gonna go begging them.â With Agnesâ current relationship with the Whitfield family, how could she possibly ask them for help?
Alyssa was the one who killed her mom.
If she went begging to the Tim Group to save Starlight International, she would end up a laughingstock.
Beside her, Beatrice sneered, âAgnes, you still care about your pride now? Canât even ask for this small favor, and you call yourself a Whitfield, your fatherâs daughter?â
After saying this, Beatrice threw herself against the glass outside the ward and sobbed, âDad, look at how heartless your daughter is. You even gave her 20% of Starlight Internationalâs shares.â
The Whitfields held 45% of Starlight Internationalâs shares overall.
20% of which was Agnesâ.
Starlight International was founded by her parents.
Her mom once held 20% of Starlight Internationalâs shares.
After her mom passed away, her father transferred these shares to Agnes before getting married.
Because of this, Laura and Preston nearly came to blows for ten years.
Agnes said, âI will find another way. I wonât ask the Whitfields, and neither should you.â
Beatrice turned her head, her eyes full of curiosity, even anticipation, âAgnes, have you divorced Jared?â
âWho said weâve divorced?â A cold male voice came from behind.
Everyone turned to look at the corridor.
Jared was walking over leisurely.
Dressed in a suit, he looked like he just came from a business meeting.
Agnes found it strange.
Didnât Jared say he was going on a business trip to Japan?
Jared had already reached them.
Laura politely said, âJared, youâre here.â
âSorry, Ms. Laura, I rushed back from Tokyo as soon as I heard. Iâm a bit late.â
When Laura heard this, she began to tear up again, âSo unlucky, why am I so miserable? If your dad passes away, the Pritchards are done for.â
Jared said, âDad will be fine.â
Then he turned his gaze to Agnes.
Agnes had been hanging her head, not looking at Jared.
She was discussing divorce with Jared, but she didnât want Laura and Beatrice to know about their affairs yet.
Because she knew thatâs what they were hoping for.
Jared reached out to touch Agnesâs hair, pulled her into his arms, and patted her back like comforting a child, âDad will be fine.
Donât worry, Iâll take care of everything.â
Agnes felt terrible in her heart. Ever since she learned of her fatherâs accident, Agnes had been running on autopilot. There were many things to be handled, many responsibilities to bear.
So, she had to stay calm, control her emotions, and stay clearâheaded.
She didnât have time to reflect, nor indulge in her grief.
Because she had no one to rely on.
But the moment Jared pulled her into his arms, Agnes felt her nerve snap.
Tears streamed down her face.
Agnes didnât say anything, just let Jared hold her for a while.
She needed to be vulnerable for a moment.
