Chapter 440 After Agnes went upstairs, Lauraâs face changed immediately.
Sheâd 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 Juliaâs house.
1 The house was actually mortgaged to an informal auction house.
The auction process wouldnât be publicized.
Better just let the little girl feel at ease, and not suspect anything.
By the time the house was auctioned off, she wouldnât be able to do anything about it.
But, she needed to distract the girl, so she wouldnât keep her eyes on this matter.
Right now, she wasnât sure about her relationship with Jared.
If Jared intervened, itâs 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 didnât believeâa word Laura said.
She had to find a way.
She couldnât 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 didnât want to pick it up initially, but then noticed the caller ID showed it was from the Capital.
She didnât seem to know anyone from there.
Her heart started to race.
She had a hunch, this wasnât a prank call, After hesitating for a moment, Agnes picked up the phone.
A crisp female voice came from the other end, âIs this Ms. Pritchard? Iâm sorry to disturb you, I am Valeria Thomas, I would like to meet you.â
Agnes was taken aback to receive a call from Valeria.
If it wasnât for hearing her name from Kerri Bradford this morning, she wouldnât have known her.
âHow did you get my number?â
âI have my ways, but if I have disturbed you, Ms. Pritchard, I apologize. I have something to discuss with you... about your stepmother.â
Upon the mention of Laura, Agnes felt a slight stir in her heart.
Laura had a past with Berlin, and Valeria was Berlinâs daughter.
Was there a connection there?
âWhat do you need from me?â
âItâs not convenient on the phone. Seven in the evening, Cloud View, I invite you to dinner.â
And with that, the call ended.
Agnes didnât 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 cleanâcut white suit, leaving a strong impression.
Her hair was shoulderâlength, 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.
