Chapter 425


    Laura and Beatricepletely lost it and burst into tears.


    Only Agnes managed to keep her cool.


    “Thank you, Doctor. What should we do next?”


    “You need to get the patient admitted now, and deposit some cash into the patient’s medical card for


    treatment expenses. Keep in mind that these expenses could be sky–high, as the patient needs to be


    under intensive care.”


    For the rest of the time, Agnes was tied up in handling all these procedures.


    The car ident had also caused a pile–up with two other vehicles.


    The cops came by in the afternoon to investigate the scene.


    Agnes went to the police station to give her statement.


    By evening, she was back at the hospital.


    Preston was in the ICU.


    Laura was crying outside the room.


    A lot of people came to see him.


    There were executives from thepany, and some artists who had been tight with Preston.

    “Laura, you gotta toughen up. With Mr. Pritchard in this state, Starlight International Group is on your


    shoulders now. And remember, as long as there’s life, there’s hope. Mr. Pritchard will pull through.”


    Laura couldn’t stop crying, “How could he be so heartless, lying there without a care in the world,


    while all the bankruptcy shit of Starlight International Group falls on me. Beatrice is so young and


    Agnes doesn’t give a damn. Are they trying to kill me?”


    Laura was crying her eyes out.


    Her old pals were all heartbroken to see her like this.


    Agnes walked over.


    -Beatrice started to pick a fight, “Dad’s in there, hanging by a thread, and you, the big star, can take it


    easy. Agnes, you’re so cold–blooded. You haven’t shed a tear


    since the beginning. You’re so ruthless.”


    As Beatrice finished, all eyes were on Agnes.


    In a sh, everyone was questioning, doubting, their faces a mix of emotions.


    Agnes didn’t give a damn.


    She walked up to Beatrice, her face expressionless, “What good does crying do? Does it magically


    handle all the hospital procedures and treatment ns? When something happens, you take care of


    crying, and I handle the rest.”


    “Agnes, you…”


    Agnes left Beatrice speechless, shaking in anger.


    Preston’s old friends started tofort Agnes.


    They praised her for being cool–headed and able to manage the situation, calling her a responsible


    individual.


    They left shortly.


    Only then did Agnes ask Laura, “You said something about Starlight International Group going


    bankrupt. What’s up with that?”


    Laura exined, “Starlight International Group’s finances have been in shambles for a while now. With


    dad in this state, what are we going to do about the massive debts and the looming bankruptcy?”


    “But didn’t the Tim Group cover the big gap for Starlight International Group? How could it still be like


    this?”


    Jared never told Agnes about this.


    She didn’t ask him once she found out.


    The Whitfield family still owed her that,


    Laura sighed, “That money, although it temporarily saved Starlight International Group, all your dad’s


    previous investments were lost. He even used half of Starlight International Group’s shares to repay


    debts. Now almost all those projects are losing money, and Starlight International Group isn’t what it


    used to be. If this continues, Starlight International Group will go under soon.”


    -Agnes felt the pressure increase in her heart.


    Laura seemed to have another idea, “Maybe you could ask the Whitfield family for help again? Right


    now, they’re the only ones who can save Starlight International Group.”
