Heartstrings on Fire novel Chapter 277

"Alright, you two can cut out the arguing now," Laura cut in.

Laura took the check and put it in front of Agnes, "Agnes, don't get mad. Beatrice is still young, not quite understanding certain things, but she means well. If this money is causing you trouble, then take it back. Our company may be in a tight spot, but we're not desperate for half a million."

Even though Laura spoke softly, her words were dripping with sarcasm.

Preston was quite irked as well. The Pritchard family used to be loaded, when did they ever squabble over half a million?

Preston said impatiently, "Agnes, take this money back to Jared. After all, it's our family issue, we really shouldn't have involved him."

Agnes quietly pocketed the check and said, "Dad, I'll figure out the money you need. But we really can't accept Jared's money."

Preston sighed. Beatrice and Laura exchanged a look.

After dinner, Preston and Laura went to the study.

Agnes returned to her room.

She laid on her bed pondering over many things, then got up and went to the study.

The study door was closed, but the conversation inside was clearly audible.

Agnes hoped her marriage to Jared could be pure, not tainted by business interests.

She didn't want the Whitfield family to become the Pritchard family's financial safeguard.

But now, with their family facing a crisis, she couldn't just stand by.

After all, that was the company her father founded and her mother put her hard work into it.

Agnes ran her fingers through her hair, filled with anguish and indecision.
