Heartstrings on Fire novel Chapter 276

Preston looked up to see Agnes.

His face turned ashen, then he forced a smile, "Agnes, what brings you back all of a sudden?"

Agnes strolled in and said bluntly, "I just saw Beatrice in Jared's office. She borrowed money from him. What the hell is going on?"

Preston gasped, "She really went to him? I've told her countless times not to bother Jared. This is our family business."

Agnes anxiously asked, "What happened?"

Preston sighed, "I invested in some projects earlier and they tanked. The company's strapped for cash now. Some of our top-tier talent contracts are expiring, and they're not keen on renewing with us."

"Why didn't you tell me sooner?"

"What good would telling you do? We didn't even tell Beatrice. She probably overheard my conversation with Laura and went to Jared for the money. But that won't solve the problem. She's such a naive kid."

Agnes frowned, "How much do you need?"

Preston paused, "Twenty million dollars."
