Heartstrings on Fire novel Chapter 327

The air in the study seemed to freeze in an instant, even Agnes looked flabbergasted.

Laura lifted her head, one hand covering her cheek, looking incredulously at Preston.

All these years, Preston had treated her like a precious gem.

No matter what she did, even if she brought Starlight International Group to the brink of bankruptcy, Preston never blamed her.

But there was one taboo between them all these years – that woman, Agnes's biological mother, Julia.

Preston was also stunned.

He was always gentle, and even in middle age, he was quite a gentleman.

His actions just now were out of control due to his emotions.

Preston grabbed Laura's arm, "I'm sorry, Laura, I didn't mean to..."

But Laura violently shook off Preston's hand, "Always for that woman, Preston, do you have a conscience? She's been dead for ten years. Ten years, and you still can't forget her. Whenever she's mentioned, you become a different person. She's your ex-wife, then what am I? I've been with you quietly for ten years, and took care of you and your daughter for ten years. Is my devotion less important than a dead person? Preston, I'm not going to let this go!"

With that, Laura turned around and left.

Preston wanted to chase after her, but after two steps, he came back.

He sat on the couch smoking, while Agnes was stunned.

After a long time, Agnes asked with a trembling voice, "That's not true, right?"

Agnes hoped Preston would deny it. She firmly refused to believe that her mother committed suicide for a mistake that ruined her reputation.

Preston sighed, "It's all true, but your mom was impulsive back then. I couldn't believe it either, but that was the result of a police investigation. Your mom committed suicide out of guilt. It was a big scandal at that time. The police investigation files, including your mom's statement, are all in a safe. If you don't believe it, I can show you."

Agnes still couldn't accept it.

How could it be like this? That can't be true!
