Heartstrings on Fire (Agnes and Jared)

Chapter 550

Many professionals were called upon the stage to start examining the painting together.

T

Truth be told, Beatrice wasn’t scared one bit.

There’s no way Agnes would have a clue whether the painting was real or fake, and most of the

experts present today were specifically invited by Laura for her support.

Over the years, Laura started dipping her toes into this circle. She always had plenty of opportunities

and was good at networking.

Most of these experts were friends with Laura.

Even if the painting turned out to be a fake, no one would probably dare to say it’s a fake.

Sure enough, after a round of observing and checking, everyone started saying, “This Venus‘ is genuine. If it’s a copy, it’s impossible to forge it so realistically. Ms. Beatrice has been misunderstood.”

Once someone expressed their opinion, the rest followed suit.

Beatrice was quite pleased with herself, thinking, “Agnes, this is the Capital, not Willowbrook

Town..You’re no longer the Pritchard family’s missy, nor Jared’s wife. What tricks do you have up your

sleeve to stir up trouble here? How many people would believe you based purely on your words?”

By this time, public opinion had shifted.

“So it turns out Ms. Beatrice was misunderstood by this lady, accusing someone’s charity painting to

be a fake for no reason. If not for the purpose of slander, what’s her intention?”

“Right, Ms. Beatrice’s charity work over the years is well–known to all of us. Even though Ms. Beatrice

had plastic surgery, it’s not illegal. It’s the kind heart that matters most.”

“I think it’s Ms. Pritchard who dumped Mr. Whitfield back then and now regrets it. She wants to

reconcile with Mr. Whitfield, but Mr. Whitfield is head over heels for Ms. Beatrice. Mr. Whitfield even

splurged on Ms. Beatrice’s diamond bracelet, which must have made her jealous. That’s why she

slandered Ms. Beatrice to ruin her birthday party.”

“Who would have thought that this pretty Pritchard family missy has such a nasty heart.”

Everyone started discussing, no longer hiding their criticisms of Agnes.

Beatrice, hearing these comments, was over the moon with joy.

Beatrice walked up to Agnes with a hurt look, “Sis, you saw it all. We haven’t seen each other in years,

and I’ve forgotten about the past. I don’t know if I did something wrong to hurt you before. Why would

you come back and slander me like this? If it’s because of my past mistakes, I apologize. But today’s

event is for charity. The money will be donated to the orphanage, helping thousands of kids change

their tragic fate. If your words ruin it, you’d be ruining their lives!”

With that, Beatrice’s eyes welled up with tears. She looked so sad, as if she was about to burst into

tears.

People around started criticizing Agnes.

“Ms. Pritchard is making a joke of children’s lives, she isn’t afraid of retribution?”

“If Ms. Pritchard is here to seek help from her stepmother, why is she burning bridges?” This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

“Ms. Pritchard, please leave. You’re not welcome here.”

Suddenly, all eyes were on Agnes, and Agnes was secretly delighted.

In all these years, it seemed Beatrice’s acting skills had significantly improved.

What surprised Agnes the most was that in the past, Beatrice would surely step up her attack and act

recklessly.

But now, she learned to use public opinion to attack her, playing the victim.

It seemed she really had changed.

But Agnes didn’t have the time to play along with her act.

Agnes glanced at her watch and felt that it was about time.
