Heartstrings on Fire (Agnes and Jared) novel Chapter 661

Beatrice was feeling unsure.

If Agnes was truly putting on an act, she certainly deserved an Oscar.

Beatrice asked, "What brings you here?"

Agnes had just returned to Willowbrook Town, so why was she back to the Capital so quickly?

Agnes began, "Well, I came for that $5 million deposit slip. I figured if you couldn't find it, I'd swallow my pride and ask Laura for it. Or perhaps I could trade her something valuable I have."

Beatrice looked at the woman before her closely.

Could it be that Agnes really didn't know what happened to Laura?

Beatrice said, "You don't need to bother my mother. I found the deposit slip you want. I had to sneak it out, though. It's from a small, obscure Swiss bank. I couldn't even find any information about it. It probably went bust. But it's just $5 million, I can't believe you're so hung up on it."

To Beatrice, $5 million was nothing.

But Beatrice knew that Agnes was always intensely possessive about anything her mother left behind.

No matter if it was five million or five hundred, she would move heaven and earth to get it back.

To be honest, Agnes had really changed since she last returned.

Sometimes, when Beatrice looked at Agnes' calm and cool face, she felt a pang of fear deep in her heart.

She had never been afraid of Agnes before.

Agnes took the check from Beatrice's hand.

As expected, it was a deposit slip from a Swiss bank for $5 million.

The payee was indeed Lundy.

It felt like a weight had been lifted from Agnes' heart.

Ever since her father's car accident was revealed to be a setup by Laura, Agnes had been more or less certain.

The death of her mother years ago must have had something to do with Laura.

Agnes had always thought that Alyssa had framed her mother with a bribe.
