Chapter 324
Before they left, grandma handed Jared a bag with a pair of handmade cotton shoes in it. “I made these shoes for
you. I planned to spend a couple more days on them, but since you’re leaving so suddenly, I finished them last
night. Not sure if they’ll fit though.”
Agnes had never seen Jared so excited.
He tried the shoes on immediately and ran a couple of laps in the yard like a kid: “Grandma, the shoes fit perfectly.
Thank you.”
And then he refused to take them off.
Grandma was also thrilled. As they pulled away, she stood in the doorway.
Jared watched her leaning against the door frame in the rear view mirror. He said to Agnes, “I think grandma is too
lonely. We should bring her to the city to live with
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtus.”
Agnes shook her head: Tve told you many times, she won’t leave her farmland and sheep. She’s used to the
country life and wouldn’t fit in the city. Let her live her way.”
Jared nodded, “Then we must come back to visit her more often.”
Agnes smiled and held Jared’s hand: “Thank you. You’ve been working hard these days.”
“It’s nothing. I actually had a pretty chill time. But why did you decide to come back so soon? I really don’t want to
go back to work! If you’re successful, could you consider raising me?”
Agnes didn’t expect Jared to say such a thing.
She pretended to be serious: “What is your specialty that makes it worth my raising?”
Jared replied honestly: Tm good with my hands and I’m not clingy. Does that count?
Agnes was speechless.
After returning. Jared went to the office.
Agnes knew that he would be very busy for a while.
After all, the Tim Group was a huge business empire, being able to take a few days off was a luxury for him.
Agnes returned to the Pritchard family.
As the butler opened the door, Agnes asked: “Where’s my dad?”
“He’s in the study
Agnes nodded and went straight upstairs.
The study door wasn’t completely shut. Agnes saw her father sitting at his desk, smoking
He looked troubled by a pile of documents on the table.
Suddenly, he threw all the documents to the floor in frustration, smashing the ashtray in the process.
Agnes frowned, pushed the door and went in.
Preston seemed slightly stunned when he saw Agnes.
Then he hid his imitated expression and said gently: “Agnes, you’re back.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAgnes looked at the mess on the floor and asked. “What happened?”
Preston stood up: “Nothing. It’s just a minor issue at the company. Don’t worry.”
Agnes knew all about the company’s issues, and they were definitely not minor.
But for now, she was also looking for solutions.
Agnes started Tve signed a contract with Century Entertainment for one million dollars. Plus my previous eamings,
that’s a total of 1.2 million. I’ll transfer this money to your account as soon as possible. You can use it to deal with
the current difficulties. If that’s not enough, Fl figure out something else.”
Preston immediately looked ashamed: “How can I use your money, especially when you’ve worked so hard for it.”
Preston knew Agnes didn’t want to develop a career in the entertainment industry
Signing with Century Entertainment was clearly for the signing fee
“Let’s not talk about other things during this special time. Anyway, I won’t just sit by and watch Starlight
International Group go bankrupt. After all, mom co-founded this company” said Agnes
The mention of Agnes’s mother seemed to change Preston’s expression slightly
