Heartstrings on Fire (Agnes and Jared)
Chapter 682

A man like Kearney, wouldn't be bothered about legality or morality.

He appeared refined, but he was a man who would resort to any means necessary to achieve his goals. Just like what Kearney had once confessed to Agnes.

There are things you can't do, but I can do them for you, because I'm not a good man to begin with.

In this world, the effective way to deal with evil is to fight fire with fire.

Deep down, Agnes was grateful to Kearney.

Soon, the situation took a drastic turn. The Criminal Investigation Departments of the Capital and Willowbrook Town began a joint investigation. Because of Vernon's statement, along with the recorded evidence he had cleverly kept from that time, an accident that had happened four years ago was quickly identified as a premeditated murder.

Vernon couldn't escape the responsibility, besides him, Berlin and Laura, the instigators, were also arrested.

Reggie used his political connections to ensure they wouldn't get away easily.

Even Cilian couldn't bail them out.

The investigation was still ongoing and the first trial was set for three days later.

The whole of the Capital was in chaos.

These two were involved in various sectors. Especially Laura's antique shop, which was greatly affected. She was completely caught off guard. She knew Agnes would take some action, but she didn't expect it to happen this fast.

She was branded as a murderer so quickly.

The media in the Capital was buzzing.

"Oh my God, this woman is terrifying, murdering her own husband just to climb up the social ladder, truly, how vicious."

"Didn't they also expose her for cheating on Berlin? Everyone supported her then, it wasn't a matter of necessity, it was just old habits die hard."

"Berlin was wise, he quickly divorced her, but who would have thought he would be involved in this, ruined by a woman."

"The Thomas family sure has a lot going on recently, Cilian has always pampered his younger brother, he won't just stand by and watch him get into trouble, will he?" The affairs of the Thomas family became a hot topic for everyone.

On the day Laura was convicted of murder, Agnes cried her heart out.

Laura was sentenced to eight years.

For Agnes, although it wasn't enough to console her deceased parents, it was enough to momentarily bring her peace. That woman finally got what she deserved.

Berlin was sentenced to six years, but both of them hired lawyers to appeal.

Beatrice was dumbfounded. She had been in a state of shock these days, because she couldn't believe her mother would murder her father.

In her heart, her father was irreplaceable, despite always competing for attention with Agnes since childhood.

Preston always favored Agnes a little more, but in Beatrice's heart, he was still her father.

When her father died in an accident, she grieved for a long time, and she blamed everything on Agnes, the unlucky person. But Beatrice never thought that it would be her mother who deliberately murdered him.

Beatrice couldn't accept this fact for a while.

And these days, she had been on vacation in Mauritius.

The island where she was vacationing had no service.

When she returned home, Laura had already been arrested for murder and the trial was about to begin.

Beatrice also attended the trial.

After the verdict was announced, Laura, through some connections, asked to see her.

Beatrice went.

The room was an old interrogation room.

When Beatrice faced Laura again, she still couldn't believe it.

"Mom, did you really plot to murder Dad?"
