Chapter 506
Agnes has always been a clock-in, clock-out type of gal
Lately, she’s been up to her eyeballs in work stress.
Her company’s just gone and set up a new Journalism Society in Willowbrook Town, called “NEWS”, and they’ve got their sights set on her as president. Agnes has been batting away this idea for months
But today, she got hauled into the boss’s office yet again.
Agnes didn’t want to go back to Willowbrook Town right now. First off, her son Nocturne was sick and needed regular treatments.
Secondly, she just didn’t feel it’s the right time.
She knew that someday she would have to go back.
There were some loose ends and responsibilities that she needed to tie up.
Over the years, Agnes had been working at the biggest news corporation in Manhattan, partly for personal reasons.
For the past four years, she’d been digging into her mom’s old graft and charity fraud case.
Looking back, there were a lot of things that still didn’t add up.
The reason Agnes kicked off her investigation again was because she bumped into Alicia while working at The Journalism Society
Alicia was a small-time actress int
tycoon and settling down here.
entertainment industry twenty years ago, never really made a name for herself, and ended up marrying a Manhattan
While shooting “Nebula Dnes overheard the director, Hamish, mention Alicia
At that time, Agnes didn’t think much of it.
But Agnes remembered that Alicia was a graduate of StoryMasters Academy, same class as her mom Julia.
During an interview, Agnes (
got to chat with Alicia, who’s now a bigwig behind the scenes.
Agnes asked her about the old times.
Alicia, Julia, and Alyssa Whitfield used to be roommates.
They had a very good relationship. Even though Alicia ended up in Manhattan, it didn’t put a damper on their friendship.
So, Alicia had some insight into Julia and Alyssa’s relationship.
She also knew a bit about their falling out and the charity fraud case involving Agnes’s mom.
Alicia said Agnes’ mother once came to her drunk and talked about the incident. Julia said she was cornered, that it was a mistake made by Preston, and she took the fall for him, as a way to pay him back.
At the time, Alicia never understood what Julia meant by these words. But Julia kept mentioning Preston, and occasionally the name Laura came up. But there wasn’t a peep about Alyssa
Alicia was just relaying the facts.
By her own admission, she didn’t remember everything clearly after all these years.
But Agnes was confused. Why was her mom always saying she took the fall for Preston?
If Julia knew that Alyssa had set her up, what did this have to do with Preston?
Laura claimed to be an outsider, clueless about the whole situation.
But why did Julia mention her name when she was drunk?
Agnes felt there was more to the story
And then there was the graft case.
Agnes was determined to get to the bottom of it.
Her one and only wish now was to bring the truth to light and clear Julia’s name.
Agnes had already dug up some leads
Apparently, Julia had bribed government officials with over five million.
This was later exposed, leading to the dismissal and imprisonment of those officials.
Because this incident involved all kinds of major corruption cases. Both men ended up getting sentenced to over a decade in prison.
One of them offed himself before he could be locked up
The other one had already served over a decade in the Capital’s high-security Lockdown Penitentiary
But, according to what Nate learned by hacking into the system, the guy had been so well behaved over the years that he had his sentence reduced by three years and was recently released from prison.
