Chapter 439 Laura spoke with concern on her face, âListen, Agnes, I suggest you sell your 20% stock in Starlight International Group shares as soon as you can if the company goes belly up, your shares will be worth jack, and you might even end up in debt. Iâm just looking out for you, Iâm willing to help you sell it, even if it means owing someone a favor. I know youâre not short on cash, and even if you canât rely on the Whitfield family in the future, youâll still have a worry free te Agnes responded coldly, âMs. Laura, save your breath. I wonât sell my stocks. Since youâve sold yours and made a fortune, why are you selling this house?
Lauraâs face changed, âThe money I got from selling those stocks isnât enough to cover the debts, Agnes. You probably have no idea how much debt your father has accumulated from his investments. I tried to talk him out of it, but you know your fatherâs temper, gentle on the outside, but inside heâs stubborn. He wouldnât listen to me. Now heâs fine, donât worry about anything, all the pressure is on me. Iâm a woman after all, I have no choice but to sell this house to make ends meet. Agnes, you need to understand me.â
Agnes saw through Lauraâs true intentions.
Her fatherâs current situation, Laura already had her eyes on someone new.
Berlin Thomas was a big shot in the Capital.
If Laura really tied the knot with him, she would definitely leave.
What she didnât expect was that Laura would sell the Pritchard familyâs old house before leaving, but she put all the blame on Preston Prestonâs investments over the years might indeed have been a loss.
But Agnes didnât know exactly what happened.
Laura took advantage of this to render Agnes speechless.
Agnes chuckled coldly, âMs. Laura, as far as I know, my father still had other properties over the years. Why not sell those instead of mortgaging the old house?â
Lauraâs face changed instantly.
Agnes continued, âThe villas my father owns have appreciated quite a bit. Altogether, they could cover the cost of the Pritchard familyâs old house. Those properties were also purchased by my father. If he woke up, if he really had to repay the debt, he would definitely have sold those first Donât you think so, Ms Laura?â
Lauraâs face turned sour. She didnât expect Agnes to remember those properties so clearly They were nearly all bought after her mamage to Preston and were joint assets With Prestonâs current condition, there was no hope of him waking up Those assets would belong to her alone in the future Now they were being targeted by this young girl who was not as docile as she appeared to be Laura needed to be more cautious.
Laura forced a smile, âAgnes, let me consider this. Itâs not that I donât want to sell them, itâs just that there are some legal difficultiesâ
âThat wonât be a problem, Ms. Laura. I have some professional friends who are very familiar with these matters. You can trust me to handle this.â
âNo, Agnes, you have been very hard to take care of your father recently, Rest assured, Iâll handle this. Iâll keep this old house How does that sound?
Agnes also showed a smile, âThatâs great, Ms. Laura, Iâm going upstairs nowâ
With that, Agnes turned and went upstairs.
