Chapter 742


    Agnes continued, "My mom was wronged. You thought she was corrupt because of your money, but in


    reality, my mom didn''t even use that money at all. It was all a set up by Laura."


    Agnes then went into detail about how Laura had manipted the situation, sowing discord between


    Preston Pritchard and Julia by exploiting their emotional rift, causing them to misunderstand each


    other.


    She also revealed how four years ago, Alyssa had deliberately brought up this matter, using a


    Text ? owned by N?velDrama.Org.


    misleading snippet of a recording to push all the me onto herself, and exposing the identity of


    Jared''s illegitimate son, ming it on her.


    Agnesid everything bare, sharing all the details of the past, the truth she discovered over the years,


    what had been happening in the Capital, and Laura''s current situation.


    Alyssa listened, shocked. Finally, after a long silence, she said, "I can''t believe there are such wicked


    people in this world. How can she still live a peaceful life after doing such terrible things?"


    "In this world, the wicked sleep soundly," Agnes replied. "It''s the good-hearted people who torment


    themselves over the smallest misdeeds. Like you. If I had asked more questions back then, or if you


    hadn''t been so quick to take the me, things might not have ended up like this."


    Both fell into silence, each lost in their thoughts. They hadn''t realized that their confrontation back then


    had stemmed from such a big misunderstanding.


    Agnes had wrongly believed that Alyssa was the one responsible for all the wicked things Laura had


    done. No wonder Agnes hated her so much. And Alyssa had thought that her own scandal was a result


    of Agnes'' revenge. In reality, none of it had anything to do with her. It was all Laura''s scheme.


    "I can''t believe we were both yed by that woman," Alyssa said, shaking her head in disbelief. "Her


    maniptions are downright chilling."


    "Indeed," Agnes agreed. "She''s cunning and calctive, exploiting our weaknesses and predicting our


    reactions."


    Alyssa shivered, struggling to wrap her head around everything.


    Agnes spoke again, "But it''s all over now, Alyssa. I want to apologize to you for ming you. I hope you


    can forgive me. My mom''s death had nothing to do with you. She felt she was carrying the burden for


    my father until herst breath. Stop ming yourself. Move on from the past. Open your heart to let the


    sunshine in."


    Hearing thest sentence, Alyssa couldn''t hold back her tears. She had spent years ming herself,


    unable to move on despite her father''s encouragements.


    Actually, she wasn''t ming herself for Julia''s death. She believed she had ruined Julia''s life.


    And because of that man, she had gotten hereuppance. She couldn''t forgive herself, neither of


    them deserved happiness. But now, hearing these words from Agnes, telling her to stop torturing


    herself and to let go of the past...


    Looking at the face that looked so much like Julia, she suddenly remembered the first time she met


    Julia.


    It was the first day of film school. The dorm was shabby and she wasn''t used to it. Her bed was


    situated where it rained in.


    Sheined, but was teased by her dorm mates as being a spoiled little princess.


    Only Julia came over and gently said, "Let''s switch beds. That one''s by the window and it''s too bright.


    I''m not used to it."


    Alyssa looked up to see a pair of clear, smiling eyes. From then on, they became best friends.
