Heartstrings on Fire novel Chapter 278

Agnes mulled it over for a bit, then went back to her room to grab that check. Then she headed to Preston's office.

Preston was just sitting on the couch zoning out.

Agnes walked over and handed him the check, "Dad, you hang on to this for now. It may not do much, but it's better than nothing."

Preston looked up, "Agnes."

"Consider it as a loan from the Tim Group. I'll figure out a way to pay it back. I'll try to find other sources of cash too. I've just taken a gig as a brand spokesperson, once I get the fees for that, and payment for my previous film and some other income, I'll transfer it all to your bank account."

Preston felt uneasy, "Agnes, you don't have to do this. I don't want to drag you down."

Agnes was cool as a cucumber, "Look, the way things are at home, I can't just turn a blind eye. I'll do my best, but I hope you guys won't rely on Jared. He's my husband, but he doesn't owe us anything."

Preston sighed, "Don't worry. No matter what Laura says, I won't jeopardize your happiness. I owe you too much. You've finally found a home where I can rest easy. I won't let anyone look down on you."

That wasn't really what Agnes meant. In fact, if there were no other options left, Agnes would definitely ask Jared for help.

But Agnes hoped that as long as there were other options, they wouldn't view the Whitfield family as their only hope.

As Agnes left the study, she was stopped right at the door by Beatrice.

"Agnes, you're so low! That money was clearly borrowed by me."

Agnes looked at her coldly, "Since you overheard my conversation with Dad in the study, you should know, I'll be paying Jared back this money. If you want this favor, then write a check, I'll give it to Jared, and you can pay him back."
