Heartstrings on Fire Chapter 442

Chapter 442 

Grinning, Valeria let out a nonchalant air, “To me, my dad is just a competitor in my career. I don’t have much affection for him. Of course, part of what I’m doing today is to fight for my mom’s rights in her divorce. In this, I’m just like Ms. Pritchard.” 

Agnes was taken aback by how well this woman saw through her. 

Regardless of whether her father could recover. 

Laura was definitely going to divorce him. 

Otherwise, she wouldn’t be offloading assets now, having sold her shares in Starlight International Group for a fat profit. 

Sure, if Laura wanted to divorce, Agnes wouldn’t object. 

It’s just that she was too greedy, wanting to snatch everything from the Pritchard family. 

Agnes didn’t care about the wealth. 

But she would never let Laura sell the Pritchard family’s old mansion. 

Agnes was also looking for a solution. 

Unexpectedly, Valeria offered to help. 

Valeria seemed to know her situation like the back of her hand. 

She shared Berlin’s location. If Laura and Berlin were in the same spot, there would be evidence of Laura’s affair… 

Once they had the evidence, even if they divorced, Laura wouldn’t get any advantage. 

Besides, it’s a scandal, Laura wouldn’t want it publicized. 

So, then, many things could be negotiated. 

Agnes took the chip and said, “I agree, but promise me that when you deal with Laura, don’t involve my father.” 

“Of course, Valeria replied with a smile. “Here’s to a fruitful cooperation.” 

Agnes raised her glass to clink with hers, “May we both get what we want.” 

The meal was quite enjoyable. 

Valeria kept a polite but somewhat cold distance. 

Agnes didn’t expect to get too close to her, after this, they probably wouldn’t cross paths again, so they just chatted casually. 

When Agnes got back, she sneaked the chip onto Laura’s phone while she was showering. Once the chip was attached, it automatically went into stealth mode. 

No trace was visible. 

Quite the black tech indeed. 

Agnes didn’t have time to marvel, she quickly left Laura’s room. 

As she stepped out, she bumped into Beatrice at the door. 

Frowning, Beatrice asked, “What were you doing in my mom’s room?” 

Agnes replied calmly, “I wanted to discuss something with Ms. Laura. Since she’s resting, I’ll come back later.” 

With that, Agnes walked off. 

Beatrice entered Laura’s room, Laura just came out of the shower. 

Beatrice told Laura what happened with Agnes. 

Laura frowned, “Agnes seems preoccupied lately, I wonder what she’s thinking.“. 

Impatiently, Beatrice said, “I can’t wait to see how long she lasts. I look forward to the moment she falls from heaven to hell.” 

Laura walked over, comfortingly stroked Beatrice’s hair and said, “Don’t rush. Tomorrow, the president of Nova Media will come for a meeting, you should attend. If you can make a friend, that would be great.” 

Beatrice asked, puzzled, “Is that the new media company that bought Starlight International Group?” 

“Yes.” 

“Who’s backing Nova Media? How could a new company afford to buy Starlight International Group at such a high price? Aren’t they afraid they’ll lose everything?” A smug smile appeared on Laura’s face, “You’ll find out tomorrow. Whoever it is, they must be rich but not very smart. Luckily, I seized the opportunity to sell all my shares for a handsome profit. Otherwise, I might not be able to sell them when they become worthless.” 

“That’s true, but mom, don’t forget Agnes still has 20% of the shares. If she sells them, won’t she profit too? Dad was so biased, why did he give everything to that bitch and leave me with nothing?” 

Laura chuckled, “You think selling shares is a good thing? Look at the state of Starlight International Group now, don’t you get it? If Agnes is willing to sell all her shares now, sure, she could indeed make a fortune. But with her character, she’ll never let go of the company that her mother put so much effort into. When Starlight International Group goes bankrupt, her stocks might turn into a huge debt. Just wait and see, she’ll get her just desserts.” 

A smile spread across Beatrice’s face, “Mom, you’re so wise.” 

Beatrice dolled herself up in a power suit for the office the next day. 

She admired herself in the mirror, looking all curvy and satisfied.
