Heartstrings on Fire (Agnes and Jared) novel Chapter 842

Indeed, Agnes recognized the faces, but some names escaped her, so she could only offer a vague "hello."

Agnes, however, left a lasting impression on everyone.

Back in the day, she was the talk of the town.

She was the celebrated Mrs. Whitfield, whose husband, the president of the Tim Group, was known for spoiling her rotten throughout the city.

But then, word got out they had divorced.

"Agnes, how could we forget you? You were a star that shone so bright. I still remember 'The Magical Romance of Cinderella' you filmed with Justin, right at our school. The whole place was abuzz. We all stayed at the dorms over summer break, just hoping for a glimpse of you two."

"I was hooked on that show too. It was a hit. But Agnes, with all that fame, why did you step away from the spotlight?" The classmate who asked this had been studying abroad as an exchange student and was out of the loop on recent events.

Amelia quickly stepped in to smooth things over, "Agnes had bigger dreams than show biz; she's a journalism major with a love for the media. She went on to pursue further studies and now she's the star host of a hit TV show."

"Oh, I remember now! You host 'The Primary Perspective,' right? I just watched your segment on the hospital protest. Agnes, you were so on point, the reporting was top-notch."

In no time, all eyes were on Agnes.

Amelia chimed in, "Alright, let's take our seats."

After Agnes sat down, Amelia addressed her, "I hate to bring this up, but as you know, the government is supporting a lot of professional schools right now, and our alma mater, Lakeside College, is on the list of potential beneficiaries. Our school has always had a bit of a private edge, but this government backing could make us one of the top institutions in the nation—a true legacy. So, could you possibly use your TV connections to feature our school, to share the history and accomplishments of Lakeside College, including its many distinguished alumni?"

No wonder Amelia was being so attentive; she had a favor to ask.

But for Agnes, it was no big deal—just a bit of her time and effort.
