Finally, Agnes left Nocturne at the Whitfield Manor.
She needed to start thinking long-term.
Tim was so pissed, there's no way she could stick around the Whitfield Manor any time soon.
Agnes left the Whitfield Manor. She was beat.
Grabbed a cab, went straight back to the Pritchard family's villa.
She'd been on high alert, but it all went belly up in the end.
All Agnes wanted now was to get some sleep.
But as soon as she got back to the Pritchard family's villa, something felt off.
The front door was open.
Someone broke into the villa?
Agnes was a little nervous.
She thought it was a burglar, was about to call the police.
But then she spotted the shoe print at the entrance.
For some reason, she recognized the owner of shoe print right away.
Combined with the strong scent of Beatrice's favorite perfume.
Beatrice was back.
There were no signs of forced entry, the door was unlocked with a key.
Back in the day, when Agnes got the deed from Laura, Beatrice flat out refused to hand over the keys.
Agnes didn't push her.
She was just going to change the locks later.
But she didn't get a chance to change the lock when Beatrice tried to run her over with her car. Then she went abroad.
But four years later, Beatrice had settled down in the Capital.
Now she's back in Willowbrook Town and at the Pritchard family House. Agnes took off her shoes and went quietly upstairs. Beatrice was in Agnes' bedroom.
She hunched over, rummaging through the drawer by Agnes' bed.
"Beatrice, what the hell are you doing?"
Agnes broke the silence.
Beatrice nearly jumped out of her skin.
She stood up quickly.
She was holding a stack of photos.
