Heartstrings on Fire (Agnes and Jared) novel Chapter 344

Chapter 344 

Before Hamish could say anything, Laura continued, “If you find it troublesome, then forget it. After all, I just think you have a high status in the film industry. If this kid can get some guidance from you, she’ll surely benefit for life” 

Hamish furrowed his brow, speaking with earnestness, “Laura, we’ve been old friends, so for your sake, I’ll take her under my wing. There’s actually a supporting role for a female character yet to be cast, but it also depends on this kid’s talent and dedication” 

Laura was delighted upon hearing this, “Beatrice, come on, thank Hamish” 

Beatrice was also thrilled and raised her glass for a toast. 

Laura smiled, saying, “Both of my daughters am now under your care.” 

Agnes’s expression remained unchanged throughout, and she seemed quite composed. 

It was understandable for Laura to help Beatrice secure a role 

Laura and Beatrice took their seats at the table together. 

After dinner, as they were leaving. Laura approached Agnes and said, “Agnes, why don’t you stay over at home tonight? It’s perfect because tomorrow you’ll join the filming team with Beatrice. If you both go together, you’ll have each other’s support, and I’ll be more at ease too.” 

The movie “Nebula Dreams” had dozens of scenes in total, but most of them were set in the bustling city of S City. Tomorrow, they would head there to join the filming team. 

Agnes didn’t want to go back, but outright refusing might offend her stepmother 

In fact, many people outside were curious about Agnes’s position in the Pritchard family and her relationship with Laura. 

At that moment, Jared unexpectedly showed up. 

Jared said, “Agnes won’t be going back tonight. She starts filming tomorrow, as you know, Ms. Laura. I can’t bear to be separated from Agnes.” 

Jared’s direct words caused a few people to chuckle, but his use of “Ms. Laura” also made everyone understand a few things. 

Today, Laura came to fight for a role for her daughter, using her relationship with Hamish on the surface, but in reality, it was also because Agnes had an important role in this movie, and Hamish was giving face to Agnes. 

Laura always referred to Agnes as her daughter in front of others, claiming their relationship was like biological mother and daughter 

Jared’s use of “Ms. Laura” exposed the true nature of their relationship, and it was likely that he called her that following Agnes’s lead. 

Laura had been part of the Pritchard family for ten years, yet Agnes had never addressed her as “Mom” to this day. 

This inevitably made people think their relationship wasn’t good, and the affection Laura displayed at the dinner table was merely a one-sided act. 

Laura’s smile seemed a bit forced, but she still said with a smile, “Young people are full of energy. Well then, we’ll be leaving now.” 

Beatrice glared angrily at Agnes and then left. 

After getting in the car, Agnes curiously asked, “Why did you suddenly come here?” 

Agnes hadn’t told Jared about the dinner tonight, so how did he know she was here?
