Heartstrings on Fire Novel Full Episode
Chapter 331-340

Chapter 331

Agnes didn’t expect Alyssa to be freaked out.

She rushed over, picking up the flower pot from the ground.

The pot was shattered, seemed like an expensive one.

The orchid was broken too, a kind that supposedly only blooms every few years.

Alyssa had been nurturing it for two years, and it hadn’t bloomed yet.

Agnes felt a certain indescribable emotion.

“I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to.”

But Alyssa just looked at the flower blankly, “It’s okay, just throw it away.”

“But this kind of orchid is ram”

Alyssa only had this one.

“It’s dead now, useless. Why would I keep it?”

Agnes noticed Alyssa’s voice was colder than usual.

The look in her eyes was icy, totally different from before

Truth be told, it had been a while since Agnes had been back.

Since her birthday party, Agnes and Alyssa had barely spoken.

But Agnes knew, Alyssa being like this was definitely due to the rare orchid.

The one she had painstakingly nurtured for two years, scared and ruined just like that

Agnes felt guilty, while Alyssa began tending to other flowers, “It’s okay, you can go now.”

Agnes had something to ask, but didn’t know how to word it.

She just stood there holding the flower pot, Alyssa straightened up, “What’s up?

“I have a question for you.

Alyssa seemed to reflexively furrow her brow

But she said, “What do you want to ask?”

Agnes hesitated and said, “Do you know a woman named Julia? She’s my biological mother.”

If Julia really knew her, or even if they were friends, then Agnes could learn more about that time from Alyssa.

Regardless of the truth, Agnes just wanted to know more.

But when Agnes said the name, Alyssa noticeably stiffened.

Her face turned pale, her eyes instantly complicated.

It was all very odd to Agnes. Why Alyssa reacted like that to her mother’s name?

But at the same time, Agnes was certain, Alyssa knew her mother.

“I don’t know her.” Alyssa said.

When Agnes looked at Alyssa again, she had turned around, casually tending to a lily

“Alyssa, are you sure you really don’t know her?”

“Agnes, I’ve told you I don’t know this person. I’ve never even heard this name. Why are you asking me this?”

For some reason, Agnes felt like her heart was being crushed by a stone, she could barely breathe.

Next, she felt a tremendous disappointment and confusion.

“It’s nothing, just a casual question” Agnes murmured.

At that moment, Ryder appeared at the door, “Time for dinner”

After speaking. Ryder glanced at Agnes, then left.

Agnes also left, still holding the broken orchid in her arms.

Alyssa didn’t move, she seemed to be focusing on caning for the flowers.

After Ryder and Agnes left, Alyssa’s legs suddenly went weak, and she sat down on the swing chair next to her

Chapter 332

From the moment she found out Agnes was Julia’s daughter, Alyssa knew the day would come.

She just didn’t see it coming this fast, this sudden.

And her first reaction was denial.

If Agnes wasn’t sure, she wouldn’t ask her straight out if she knew Julia.

But if Agnes knew about her past with Julia, she wouldn’t ask her like this.

Alyssa’s secrets, those deep in her memory, were like a mirror covered in dust.

And now, a gust of wind had come and blown away all the dust from the past.

The painful, dark, even mad past was reflected clearly in the mirror, making her scared and shaking.

Tim was already in the dining room, looking really happy to see Agnes.

“Agnes, it’s been a while since you’ve been home. You’ve lost weight.”

Agnes laughed, “Dad, I didn’t lose weight, and I’ll visit you more often.”

Tim let out a sigh on purpose, “We don’t have many people in our family. Recently I feel more and more lonely in this big house. It would be much livelier with a kid

around.”

Agnes was bothered.

Every time she visited, Tim would bring up this topic repeatedly.

Sometimes it was about his old war buddies holding their grandkids, sometimes about the housekeeper resigning to take care of her own kids.

Agnes understood his loneliness, but she can’t just have a kid immediately because he wants one.

Besides, she hasn’t graduated yet, and she and Jared haven’t even started planning their wedding

Most importantly, she’s only in her twenties, isn’t it too early to have kids?

But Agnes didn’t want to argue with Tim, so she just looked at Jared with pleading eyes.

Jared said, “Agnes is still young. She’s a kid herself, I don’t want her to become a mom so soon.”

“She is young, but what about you?” Tim looked disappointed. “And what’s wrong with having kids when you’re young? It’s easier to recover. Plus, we have so many housekeepers, you guys don’t have to take care of the kid yourselves, you just have to give birth, leave the rest to me. I’m old, and my health is deteriorating. This is the only wish I have left in my life…

Tim’s words got sadder and sadder.

Seeing the once brave man now so heartbroken, Agnes couldn’t bear it.

She quickly said, “Alright, we’ll have a baby. Dad, don’t worry, we’ll put it in our plan to have a baby as soon as possible”

Tim immediately lit up. “I love all my grandchildren, as long as it’s your and Jared’s child, I will spoil them. I’m not rigid, I won’t force you to have a certain number of kids, you can have as many as you want. If you only want one, I won’t insist. Whether it’s a boy or girl, I will leave all of Whitfield family’s assets to them.”

Tim was very happy, but Agnes looked helpless.

Tim’s mood swings were too drastic.

Just then, Ryder walked in.

Hearing what Tim said, he stopped at the door.

Agnes felt complicated Tim’s favoritism towards Jared had reached this point.

The child wasn’t even born yet, and he already said he would leave all the Whitfield family’s assets to them.

But Ryder was also Tim’s grandson, he even changed his last name.

Agnes sighed in her heart

Ryder had already come in Tim asked, “Where’s Alyssa?”

Ryder replied, “Mom said she wasn’t feeling well, so she didn’t want to have dinner tonight”

**

Chapter 333

When Tim heard that Alyssa wasn’t feeling well, Tim immediately became very concerned: “Why is she suddenly sick? Is it serious? I gotta go check on her.” Ryder replied, “No worries, she’s already resting”

Tim decided not to disturb Alyssa, but he was still on pins and needles.

Agnes was also feeling low, suspecting that Alyssa’s discomfort was due to her breaking Alyssa’s beloved orchid.

Tim said, “Alright, let’s eat dinner first.”

After dinner, Agnes retreated to her room, weighed down by thoughts all night.

In the end, she couldn’t help but tell Jared, “You go check on Alyssa. I broke her orchid today, I’m worried she’s mad at me.”

Jared replied, “She’s not the type to hold a grudge”

Nevertheless, he went to Alyssa’s room. Agnes initially didn’t want to, but felt like she should apologize properly and also headed to Alyssa’s room.

But the room was locked, and no one answered after she knocked a few times.

Just as she was about to leave, she saw two figures on the terrace, it was Jared and Alyssa..

Agnes went over and found Alyssa tending to her plants.

Jared was holding a pot of flowers, saying, “Alyssa, if you’d like, I can buy you a few more. Agnes didn’t mean to break your orchid.”

Alyssa replied, “I know. I don’t blame her.”

But when Jared asked why she didn’t eat and claimed to be unwell, Alyssa suddenly tumed serious: “Jared, if I didn’t like Agnes, would you leave her?”

Jared’s face turned serious at her words

He asked calmly. “But you used to like Agnes a lot. What happened?”

Alyssa’s face changed, but she didn’t answer his question.

She chuckled, “I was just joking, Jared, you know I’ll always support you.”

Hearing this, Agnes was stunned. Something inside her seemed to sink and she turned and ran off.

Alyssa saying she didn’t like her, even asking if Jared would leave her, hurt her deeply

Even though Alyssa later said it was just a joke, Agnes could tell it wasn’t, and it was more of a test.

Could it really be because of an orchid that Alyssa, who used to treat her so well, was acting this way?

Agnes couldn’t figure it out, and she felt incredibly down.

She didn’t want to return to her room, so she went to the yard and sat on a swing under a large locust tree, lost in thought.

Agnes was puzzled. Alyssa knew her mother, but pretended not to.

Alyssa’s current attitude towards her was also completely different from before

What was going on?

After a while, Agnes felt something on her ankle.

Looking down, she found Oscar licking her foot.

Agnes squatted down, hugging Oscar’s head, her heart full of unspoken bitterness, “Oscar, can you tell me why? Why? Why?”

Suddenly, a chuckle came from afar.

Looking up. Agnes saw Ryder slowly walking over.

“Agnes, are you acting in a soap opera now?”

Chapter 334

Agnes was feeling super awkward.

Ryder showed up and she hadn’t noticed him at all.

Getting up, Agnes resettled herself on the swing. “What brings you here?”

“Just took Oscar out for a walk and we just got back. Oscar likes to play in the backyard after a walk. By the way, you’re sitting on Oscar’s swing now,” Ryder said. Agnes quickly got up, and Ryder’s smirk became even more pronounced.

Only then did Agnes realize that Ryder was just joking.

Golden retrievers don’t swing, so Agnes shot Ryder a glare.

Ryder came over, sat down on the stone bench under the locust tree, and while grooming Oscar, he asked, “Why are you sitting here all mopey? Where’s Jared?” “He’s chatting with your mom. I just came out for some fresh air.”

Then came a long stretch of silence

In the past, when Agnes and Ryder were together, she would always yak on and on while Ryder just listened, occasionally asking a question or two.

They had gotten close from rehearsing and performing in plays together.

But ever since she found out Ryder had feelings for her, Agnes felt like she couldn’t chat as freely as before.

Agnes didn’t speak and Ryder was silent, which made her feel even more embarrassed. Just as Agnes was about to leave, Ryder suddenly said, “Tm moving out soon.”

Curiosity piqued, Agnes asked, “Are you moving out of the Whitfield Manor? To where?”

“I’m interning at the Tranquil Care Hospital now, so I rented an apartment at the Lotus Residence nearby.”

Agnes nodded, “You’ve told me that your dream is to become an excellent neurosurgeon. Congratulations. You’re getting there.”

“It’s still early days. I still need clinical experience and practice. But I won’t give up.”

Agnes encouraged him, “Keep going, you’ll make it.”

“And you, you once told me you wanted to be a reporter”

Agnes’s eyes dimmed a bit.

Yes, her dream was to become a reporter, to expose the dark side of society, to help those on the edge of despair, to fight against the world’s injustices using the power of media

That was her dream. But now, she was stuck in the whirlpool of the entertainment industry for money.

Even though she didn’t hate this industry, it still had nothing to do with her dream.

Agnes gave a wry smile, “If there’s a chance in the future, I’ll still pursue my career dream.”

“What dream?”

Jared’s voice came from not far away.

Walking over with a smile, Jared asked, “How come I’ve never heard about your career dream?”

Agnes replied, “Because I want to do it on my own. If I told you, you’d arrange everything for me in a heartbeat. Where’s the fun in that?”

Jared ruffled Agnes’s hair, “So what is your career dream?”

“You guess, I’m not telling you”

Ryder had already stood up. Sensibly, he said, “Jared, I’m heading back to my room now.”

With that, he left with Oscar

Jared’s face turned cloudy. “Why can’t you share your dreams with me? Why only with Ryder?”

Agnes glanced at Jared, “Are you jealous?”

“You’re here appreciating the night scene, discussing life goals. Of course I’m jealous!

Jared was jealous like a kid

His expression seemed to say, Tm not happy, so come comfort

Chapter 335

Agnes suddenly slipped into Jared’s arms from his elbow, like a little fish, saying. “Don’t be mad, we didn’t really talk about anything, just a few words. I promise, from now on III only stargaze and chat about my life goals and dreams with you, okay?”

Jared looked down at Agnes’s fluffy head, her sparkling eyes looking innocent and cute.

He couldn’t help but cup her face, planting a big kiss on her, then said, “But I prefer talking about having kids with you.”

Agnes was taken aback, then said, “Mr. Whitfield, remember your old cold-hearted image?”

What happened to you now?

They stayed outside a bit longer before heading back. Agnes never asked what Jared and Alyssa had talked about.

Because she knew, whatever Alyssa had said, Jared definitely wouldn’t tell her the truth.

She didn’t want to push Jared to lie, so she chose not to ask.

But, Agnes had a new worry hanging over her

When the holiday ended, Agnes headed to Century Entertainment the next day.

A few days earlier, Ivan had already sent her work schedule to her email.

Agnes looked at it, indeed it was full of work.

Agnes went to Ivan’s office.

When she walked in, there was another person inside.

It was Nyssa, who was a top agent at Century Entertainment, having helped many popular stars rise to fame.

Seeing her come in, Ivan introduced her, “Agnes, good timing. From now on, Nyssa will be your agent. She’ll discuss your upcoming work with you in detail later.”

Agnes immediately went over, smiling, “Nyssa, please take care of me from now on!

Nyssa replied, “No problem, we’ll help each other.”

In the morning, Agnes spent time understanding her work schedule for the next three months.

She had three ad endorsements, five interviews, two variety show guest appearances, and a movie,

Of course, the most important thing was that movie.

She had acted in a drama with Mamie before, which was actually a lead up to that movie, to promote it.

The movie was called “Nebula Dreams”

Mamie was the lead, and Agnes played a villain in it, quite challenging.

The scale of the movie was massive, almost the top production team in the industry, and the director was Hamish, who had just won a big award at the Cannes

Film Festival.

Basically, any actors who had acted in his movies, whether lead or supporting, would shine in the industry, because his standards were very high.

Countless aspiring actors, even if they didn’t get paid, would do whatever they could to show their face in his movies, as if that would gild their acting skills.

Nyssa also said, “You must seize this opportunity to act. It’s not easy to get the chance to act under Hamish’s guidance. You can learn a lot from him. Every frame of his movie is filled with artistry. Even though your character isn’t the lead, it has a lot of screen time, and the character’s development and range are extensive, it’s a big test for your acting skills, I believe you will gain something from this movie.”

Agnes replied, “Nyssa, don’t worry, I’ll cherish this opportunity.”

In the afternoon, Agnes received the script.

They planned to assemble in three days.

At five in the evening, Agnes suddenly received a call.

The call was from Laura

Over the years, Laura had called her only a handful of times.

Chapter 336

Even if something major was up at home, it was always Preston who would call.

Agnes stared at the caller ID on her phone, her brows furrowing slightly, but in the end, she picked up.

Laura’s gentle voice came through the phone. “Agnes, will you come home for dinner tonight? I’ve made your favorite dishes.”

Hearing her voice, Agnes felt a pang of discomfort.

Laura’s words from before were like thoms stuck in her heart.

She said her mother had brought it on herself and deserved her fate.

Even if her mother had done something wrong, Agnes didn’t think Laura had the right to say these things.

Agnes’ voice was cold, “I have something on tonight. I won’t be home.”

“Agnes, are you still upset with me?” Laura asked, “I want to apologize for what happened the other day. That’s all in the past. I shouldn’t have said those things. made you bear it all. Your mother was just impulsive back then and I shouldn’t have slandered her out of spite. Agnes, I’m a woman too. Your father’s heart still belongs to your mother, and I was just jealous. But can you forgive me this once? I’ve been part of this family for ten years. You might not consider me family, but I think of you as my own daughter. Let tonight’s dinner be my apology, okay?”

Agnes felt a whirlwind of emotions.

Even though she never considered Laura as family, Laura was her father’s wife and they had a child together

She and Beatrice might not get along, but they shared the same blood.

If Laura really had nothing to do with her mother’s death, Agnes didn’t see a need to hold a grudge.

After some hesitation, Agnes agreed, “Alright, I’ll be home tonight.”

“Don’t forget to bring Jared with you. I’ve made his favorite dishes too.”

After she hung up. Agnes called Jared

In no time, Jared came to pick her up and they both headed to the Pritchard family mansion.

On the drive, Jared suddenly asked, “Oh, I forgot to ask, did your father sort out his company’s issues?”

Agnes wasn’t too clear on the current situation of Starlight International Group, but she gave all the money she received to help her father.

Preston didn’t mention specifics after that.

Agnes replied, “It’s being sorted. Don’t worry too much. If anything really happens, I’ll let you know”

Jared nodded, he had done some digging himself.

Starlight International Group was in dire straits, with only one artist, Justin, holding the fort. The others had already jumped ship.

The company was also facing severe financial issues

He had already contacted Preston privately and sent a substantial amount of money in the name of the Tim Group.

Starlight International Group had temporarily escaped its woes, but Jared didn’t tell Agnes about this.

Agnes was stubborn and sensitive.

Jared knew she didn’t want their marriage to be a financial crutch for the family

So, she insisted on signing up for a TV series and gave all the income to Preston.

The only condition Jared had when he helped Preston was not to use Agnes’ money.

He would find an excuse to return the money to her in time

After all, it was her first paycheck, and it shouldn’t be used to pay off someone else’s debts.

Chapter 337

The Pritchard family’s mansion was just around the corner, and Beatrice was waiting at the front door.

As soon as she saw the two of them get out of the car, she greeted them warmly. “Agnes, you’re back! Come in quick, it’s freezing out here.”

Agnes only thought Beatrice’s behavior was unusual.

Because when they walked in, Beatrice actually had slippers ready for her.

Beatrice had never done such a thing before.

Even if she wanted to show off in front of Jared, she wouldn’t go this far

Today, she wasn’t sticking to Jared like a candy wrapper like she used to.

Instead, it seemed like she had switched targets and was trying to please Agnes at every turn. Agnes was feeling a bit uneasy..

When they were climbing the stairs, Jared was leading the way, and Beatrice was walking behind, arm in arm with Agnes.

Agnes deliberately slowed her pace.

Once Jared was upstairs, Agnes stopped in her tracks and refused to move

“Agnes, why aren’t you moving? Mom’s already made dinner. If you don’t hurry up and eat, it’ll get cold. Come on, she cooked all your favorite dishes.”

To someone who didn’t know them well, they might like the sisters were really close

“Beatrice, stop pretending. What’s going on with you?”

But Beatrice laughed and said, “What’s wrong? It’s nothing. I just feel like I’ve been so stupid. Dad told me about the money you gave him to save the company. Agnes, I really admire you. I was wrong to fight with you all the time: Can you forgive me? Can we make up and forget the past, be good sisters?”

Beatrice’s expression seemed sincere

But Agnes wouldn’t have fallen for it if she hadn’t known the real Beatrice.

Agnes pulled her arm out of Beatrice’s grip, “Beatrice, stop it. I think our old way of getting along was just fine. You’re acting like you’re plotting something. If you have something to say, just say it. You’re making me uncomfortable.”

Beatrice’s face seemed to change for a moment.

Then her smile widened, and she even began to flirt, “Agnes, you’re really breaking my heart. I really do want to make up with you. We’re both dad’s daughters, and we share some of the same genes, I’m your family, right?”

Hearing this, Agnes felt a pang in her heart.

As a child, Agnes had imagined having a sister or brother.

Then her dad remarried and brought home a sister – Beatrice.

Although Agnes couldn’t accept her father’s new marriage, she had no ill feelings towards Beatrice, after all, she was also dad’s child.

Over the years, Beatrice had always been aggressive and confrontational, even going out of her way to humiliate others.

Most of the time, Agnes chose to bear it.

She thought, no matter how despicable the person in front of her was, she was still her family.

But over these years of interaction, Agnes had never thought of making up with Beatrice.

This was making her very uncomfortable.

And there was definitely a reason for Beatrice acting like this.

If she was sincere, that would be weird.

Still, Agnes didn’t want to argue with her.

She simply said, “I’d be grateful if you could stop being so confrontational all the time”

After that, she continued upstairs.

Beatrice chased after her, “Agnes, I promise I won’t be confrontational anymore. I’ll listen to you from now on, okay?”

Agnes looked at Beatrice, her brow furrowing even more.

What was up with her?

As soon as they set foot in the dining room, Laura greeted them warmly.

“Agnes, Jared, welcome back! Come on in, dinner’s all set.”

Preston was also in the kitchen.

Chapter 338

And he seemed in high spirits, no longer the anxious and helpless soul he’d been

Seeing Jared, he also stood up and said, “You’re back.”

Everyone sat down to eat

Agnes noticed that everyone was acting so strangely. Beatrice was even peeling shrimps for her.

If Beatrice was doing this to butter up Jared, Agnes would get it.

But now, with Beatrice’s attention shifted to her, Agnes felt particularly uncomfortable.

Midway through the meal, Preston handed over a bank card saying, “Agnes, take your money back.”

Agnes was baffled, “Dad, I’m not strapped for cash. You keep it for a rainy day.”

Preston said, “Starlight International Group’s crisis is over. The Japanese bank agreed to loan us funds. We’ve finally weathered the storm.”

Hearing Preston’s words, Agnes finally breathed a sigh of relief.

No wonder Preston seemed so cheery today.

Without making a fuss, Agnes accepted the bank card.

After dinner, Preston and Jared were having a coffee chat in the living room, while Agnes retreated to her room.

Soon, Beatrice was at the door..

She was holding a fruit plate, filled with sliced fruits.

Beatrice used to barge in without knocking.

But today, she knocked a few times.

Agnes, can I come in?”

Agnes was confused, but didn’t rush to find out why. She believed the truth would come out sooner or later

“Sure, come in.”

Beatrice walked in, handed the sliced fruits to Agnes, “Agnes, I prepare these fruits myself. Give them a try.”

Agnes tried one and said, “Thanks.”

Beatrice put down the fruit plate, but didn’t leave.

She hesitated for a while, as if she had something to say.

Agnes said straight up. “Spit it out. I might not have time for you later.”

Finally, Beatrice said, “Agnes, I hope you can put in a word for me with Director Hamish, see if I can get a small part in Nebula Dreams. I heard there are still many”

minor roles uncast.”

So that was it.

Actually, Agnes had guessed it all along.

Agnes said, “I can’t do that. I haven’t even met the director. And he’s known for being strict, hates industry’s under-the-table dealings, and has high standards for every role. I can’t help you.”

“Agnes, I know this is a bit troubling for you, but I have no other way. Even a small role, I’d take it. I want to shine like you in the entertainment industry. Most importantly, I hope to be able to take responsibility for my career like you when faced with difficulties. Agnes, can you help me?”

Agnes responded formally, “I really can’t help you. It’s beyond my reach.”

Beatrice hesitated for a while before saying, “I know you’re not familiar with Director Hamish or even know him, but I heard he’s tight with the Whitfields, he and Tim are good friends, and I think Jared is familiar him. If Jared could put in a few good words for me…”

“Beatrice, it’s absolutely impossible. Don’t be under any illusions” Agnes cut her off sternly.

Beatrice seemed taken aback.

Chapter 339

“Beatrice, you can ask me for help, but you can’t expect me to beg others for you. Especially when it’s about their principles, I won’t put them in a tight spot just to help you. If you really want a role in Hamish’s movie, there are auditions. You can go through the regular process. If you don’t have the chops, I won’t lift a finger”

Beatrice stood in front of Agnes, and she seemed very aggrieved. “I know this is a hassle for you. Forget it if you don’t want to do it.”

With that, she turned to leave.

Just as she got to the door, Jared walked in.

Beatrice glanced at Jared, and her tears immediately fell

But she didn’t stop. She wiped her tears and bolted.

Jared frowned, “What’s going on? You two squabbled? It’s rare to see you on the losing side.”

“It’s her problem”

It’s normal for Beatrice to ask for a role, but when Agnes said no, she didn’t fight back, and she didn’t get angry, which was unusual. The old Beatrice would never let things slide if she didn’t get her way.

What’s more, she had prepared for a long time this evening, and had done a lot of preparatory work, including peeling shrimp and preparing fruit. Was she just putting on a show of weakness for Jared?

Agnes couldn’t figure it out, and she didn’t want to.

Whatever Beatrice wanted, she wouldn’t help, so she didn’t need to dig deeper.

The next day. Agnes and Jared went to the restaurant and saw Beatrice bustling about in the kitchen.

Seeing them, Beatrice immediately beamed, “You’re up! Mom and dad left for work early. I made breakfast, come and eat.”

This time, Agnes really started to admire Beatrice’s persistence..

She rarely saw Beatrice swallow her pride like this, and she wasn’t ready to throw in the towel yet.

Sure enough, over breakfast, Beatrice brought it up again.

This time she asked Jared directly. “Jared, could you do me a favor?”

Agnes frowned, “Beatrice, I made myself clear yesterday”

But Beatrice looked hurt, “Agnes, don’t be like this. It’s just a small favor for Jared. And it’s about my dream. I don’t care if you think I’m beneath my dignity, I have to fight for my dream.”

“Alright, I’ll help you.”

Jared took a bite of food and suddenly spoke.

Both Beatrice and Agnes were stunned

Beatrice was surprised because Jared agreed before she even asked.

She felt an irrepressible joy, but she didn’t let it show in front of Agnes

Agnes, however, looked serious. What on earth was Jared thinking?

Jared said, “I heard your conversation last night. You want me to help you get a role in Hamish’s movie, no problem, it’s a piece of cake.”

Beatrice’s joy was even greater. She didn’t expect Jared to remember their conversation from last night.

You agreed so quickly.

What does this mean?

But Agnes seemed very cold.

But she was also confused. This wasn’t Jared’s usual style.

Sure enough.

Next, Jared said, “Tve read the script too. There’s a role that I think suits your needs. The Whitfield family has some connections with Hamish. I think if I ask him to give you a role, he won’t refuse”

Chapter 340

Beatnce was thrilled. Jared had just said there was a role that suited her.

What was that supposed to mean?

It meant Jared knew her well, so much so that he thought about her even when he was reading the script.

So, she held a special place in Jared’s heart.

He knew Agnes would be pissed, but he still mentioned the role in front of her

Beatrice was over the moon. It seemed her goal would be reached soon.

It was hard for Beatrice to hide her excitement. She grabbed Jared’s arm and couldn’t help but coo, “Thank you, you’ve been so good to me.”

But Jared dodged her hand, a look of disgust crossing his face. This left Beatrice puzzled.

Still, considering Jared was fighting for her role, Beatrice brushed it off.

Maybe he just didn’t like being touched.

Agnes watched the pair coldly, then abruptly put down her fork, “I’m done.”

Then Agnes got up and left the restaurant.”

Watching Agnes go, Beatrice immediately said, “Why is she so upset? We’re family. It’s okay if you help me. She’s just being petty. But I won’t hold it against her.”

Jared seemed to ignore her, he got up and went after Agnes.

Beatrice watched through the restaurant window as Agnes walked out, got into Jared’s car.

They both looked pretty unhappy.

Beatrice was thrilled.

If Agnes was unhappy because of her, or if a rift formed between them, Beatrice would be even more delighted.

After all, she got a role, caused a misunderstanding, and it didn’t cost her the effort she had been putting in since last night.

Beatrice clenched her fist, a malicious grin on her face

Agnes, your good days are numbered.

After Agnes got into the car, she angrily asked, “Jared, what’s the deal? Why are you getting a role for Beatrice?”

Agnes had always despised the unspoken rules of the entertainment industry, she would never do such a thing.

But Jared just laughed, “Why so uptight? I’m just trying to get back at her for you”

A puzzled Agnes asked, “What do you mean ‘get back at her for me? What do I need you to do?”

“You know how Beatrice always bosses you around, makes your life miserable? Now it’s her turn to taste her own medicine.”

Agnes seemed to get it, “So you’re just promising her verbally, and not actually going to get her the role?”

Jared started the car, glanced at Agnes, “I keep my word. If I said I’d get her a role, I’ll get her a role”

“What do you mean?”

Jared finally stopped being cryptic, “She said she wanted to play an ordinary role, night? Let’s give her an ordinary role, how’s that sound?”

Agnes was taken aback, “So you’re making her an extra? She’ll never accept it”

Jared smirked, “Don’t worry, I’ll make sure she has lines.”

Agnes had been reading scripts at the company for the past few days.

They were set to start filming in three days.

Unexpectedly, on the third day, Beatrice found Agnes.

She angrily threw the script in front of Agnes, “Agnes, this is your evil, isn’t it?”
