Heartstrings on Fire Chapter 462

Chapter 462 

Mentioning this topic, Beatrice couldn’t help but frown in confusion, asking, “Mom, do you love Dad?” 

Beatrice found it hard to swallow, Laura had been with other men when Dad was in the hospital…. 

Laura laughed as if she had heard a very funny joke. “Love? Love is the cheapest thing in the world. Once you fall in love with someone, they become your weakness. Has your father ever truly loved me in all these years? In his heart, it’s always been Julia. Beatrice, remember my words, a man’s favorite is always the one who doesn’t love him.” 

Before Beatrice could respond, the room door was suddenly flung open, with Agnes appearing at the entrance. 

Both Laura and Beatrice looked surprised. 

Yet, Agnes had already stepped in, “The biggest mistake my father made in his life was probably marrying a woman like you. But thankfully, having the chance to divorce you during his lifetime was his good fortune.” 

Laura stood up, a smirk spreading across her face. 

Laura said, “Agnes, you’re back. Don’t worry, I’ll pack my things and move out in a couple of days. This house, from beginning to end, is all yours.” 

Agnes snorted, “Ms. Laura, you should know, I didn’t come back because of this.” 

Laura put on a surprised expression. 

Then she said, “Is there something else?” 

Agnes didn’t want to beat around the bush anymore, “Did you expose Alyssa? Did you pin the blame on me?” 

Laura replied, “Agnes, I really don’t know what you’re talking about. Do I have the capability? How much could I know about the Whitfield family’s affairs?” Agnes frowned. 

Laura had clearly told her the secret yesterday. But today, after the news broke, she suddenly denied it. 

Agnes laughed, “Ms. Laura, you really don’t have to worry that much. Rest assured, this is your room, there are no cameras, and I didn’t bring a recorder.” Laura was just afraid to admit it and give Agnes a handle over her. 

Agnes had to admire her prudence. 

Laura studied Agnes carefully.

Although Agnes had disliked her since she was a child and had always been wary of her, Laura knew Agnes well. 

Seeing her expression and tone, Laura knew she was not here to play tricks but to confirm things. 

So, Laura didn’t hide it anymore. 

“Yes, I did arrange for the news to be exposed. The silhouette in the photo does look like you, I had it taken on purpose, so now everyone thinks you exposed the Whitfield family’s secret.” 

Laura’s brilliance lay in this, the exposed news had solid evidence. 

Of course, the shocking secret of the Whitfield family got revealed, and no one bothered to find out if the whistleblower was her. 

Instead, the audience was more willing to believe this was internal conflict within the wealthy family, a complex web of deep–seated grudges, which made them more invested. 

“Why did you do this?” 

“To be honest, Agnes, you’ve brought me such a big gift, how could I not return the favor? I know you’re kind–hearted and gentle, but think about it, Alyssa is Jared’s birth mother, and she killed your mother, can you really forgive her? I did what you couldn’t decide to do, shouldn’t you be thanking me?” 

Agnes laughed coldly, “Ms. Laura, mind your own business. You framing and accusing me doesn’t mean I can accept it all. Since you’re already divorced from my father, you and I have no connection. From now on, we go our separate ways, we owe each other nothing, no connection. I hope there won’t be any intersection in the future, and I hope you won’t make trouble for me.” 

Laura laughed, “Of course, it’s only natural. Things have come to this point, and I don’t want to see this outcome either. I’ve been with your father for so many years, there’s still some feelings. If you ever run into any trouble in the future, feel free to come to me, I’ll do my best to help.” 

“Well, then I really appreciate it, Ms. Laura.”
