Heartstrings on Fire Chapter 328

Chapter 328 

Agnes mulled it over and then headed straight to CHERRY. 

Although CHERRY was a gossip magazine newspaper, it had been established for more than ten years, and it could be said that it was a media with rich experience. If the event from that era was as sensational as it seemed, she might be able to dig up something. 

Agnes was tight with the staff at the magazine, so she could come and go as she pleased. 

After all, she was a hot commodity in the entertainment industry. Everyone was always thrilled to see her. 

Agnes made a beeline for Ben, the most seasoned entertainment journalist at CHERRY 

He was also the only one who had been with the magazine for over ten years. 

When Agnes mentioned the scandal of the Angelic Wings Foundation’s donation fraud a decade ago. 

Ben frowned and said, “I have a vague memory of it, but I was a newbie then and don’t remember much. All I recall is that the news was all the rage, but because it involved some government corruption, it was squashed and all the online information was scrubbed. It’d be tough to find anything now. 

There was indeed no information online. 

Even when Agnes searched her mother’s name in the search engine, the results were blocked. 

Agnes was disappointed. 

But something suddenly occurred to Ben: “We have a warehouse where we store all the issues since the start. Even though the news was suppressed, there must have been coverage before that. If you really want to know, I can take you there.” 

A glimmer of hope sparked in Agnes’ eyes, “Ben, you’re a lifesaver.” 

Ben took Agnes to the warehouse, where mountains of newspapers were stored. Even though they were sorted by year in storage boxes, each box had at least a thousand issues. 

Ben said, “The incident you’re looking for is a decade old. Yes, the relevant materials are in here, but I can’t guarantee you’ll find them. With so many papers and no idea which issue it’s in, it’s like looking for a needle in a haystack.” 

But Agnes said, “I can take my time, Ben, you go ahead if you have things to do.” 

Ben had work to do in the afternoon, so he left soon after. 

Agnes was left alone in the warehouse, sifting through piles of newspapers. 

She went through them one by one, page by page. 

But there were just too many papers. After about four hours. Agnes had come up empty 

Later, Jared called 

He said his father invited them to dinner at the Whitfield Manor, Agnes agreed. 

Looks like she wouldn’t be finding anything today. 

Agnes decided to leave and come back tomorrow. 

But after sitting for a long time, her legs and feet were numb. 

As Agnes stood up, she tripped and knocked over a pile of newspapers. 

She immediately bent down to tidy up, but then she saw the front page headline on one of the papers, “Angel or Devil? Angelic Wings Foundation’s Julia Arrested for Embezzling Donations” 

Seeing her mother’s name, Agnes’ heart seemed to stop. 

There was also a photo on the paper. Indeed, it was her mother when she was younger 

But she was surrounded by police, with handcuffs on her wrists. 

Her face looked blank and desperate, like a puppet on strings, nothing like the mother Agnes remembered 

Agnes slowly bent down and picked up the paper. 

The report didn’t go into detail. 

Because it also involved political corruption, many government officials were implicated
