Heartstrings on Fire (Agnes and Jared) novel Chapter 452

Chapter 452 

Valeria was the woman Alyssa had always wanted to set up with Jared

She seemed to have a pretty good grasp on their current situation and was certain they will eventually divorce

However, Agnes wasn’t exactly clued in on where Valeria stood with Jared

Agnes said, I’m just popping in, if he’s not here I’ll leave right away.” 

As his wife, Ms. Pritchard, you don’t know where he is?” 

Agnes simply smiled and said, You know my father’s been sick, I’ve been spending my time at the hospital with him, not really in the mood to worry about anything else.” 

Agnes didn’t say much else, nor did she want to spill the beans about her current situation with Jared

She was clearly uncomfortable, as Valeria was obviously digging

Valeria said, I see, we had lunch planned today but he didn’t show, Jared is usually a man of his word, it got me a bit concerned.” 

“He probably had more pressing matters to attend to.Agnes shrugged it off

Agnes chuckled and said, I have some things to deal with, I’ll be heading out.” 

Ms. Pritchard,Valeria stopped her. My father went to a meeting at the hotel in the next block today, but he went alone, no secretary in tow.” 

Valeria moved closer to Agnes, Maybe you should check on your stepmother’s whereabouts, you might be in for a surprise.She continued, smiling at Agnes, Opportunities like these are hard to come by, good luck.” 

With that, she left

Agnes stood there, her brow furrowed

It was clear what Valeria was hinting at, she was suggesting Agnes catch her stepmother in the act of cheating

Valeria’s father, Berlin, wasn’t a local of Willowbrook Town, he just came here on business trips occasionally

So, besides that one time at the golf course, Agnes didn’t have any concrete evidence

Without proof, it was hard for Agnes to go up against Laura

Agnes discovered that Laura had mortgaged the Pritchard Mansion to an underground auction house and the auction had already begun. In a week, the auction would start

If she didn’t act now, she would be too late

Furthermore, Laura decided to auction the house early because she and Berlin’s project was snatched by someone else, causing Berlin to suffer a huge loss and become a bit cold towards Laura

This was undoubtedly Valeria’s doing

To please Berlin, Laura arranged an overseas vacation

So, she needed to solve the house auction problem pronto

As Agnes left the Tim Tower, she called Ben

Upon hearing the news, Ben was thrilled. Trust me, I’ll bring all the journalists, this is what we’re best at.” 

Agnes confirmed Laura’s itinerary

Ben was an old hand at this and managed to find their room number. Sure enough, the two of them only booked one platinum presidential suite

In the afternoon, Ben and a few others managed to sneak into the hotel to keep an eye on things
