A man like Kearney, wouldn't be bothered about legality or morality.
He appeared refined, but he was a man who would resort to any means necessary to achieve his goals. Just like what Kearney had once confessed to Agnes.
There are things you can't do, but I can do them for you, because I'm not a good man to begin with.
In this world, the effective way to deal with evil is to fight fire with fire.
Deep down, Agnes was grateful to Kearney.
Soon, the situation took a drastic turn. The Criminal Investigation Departments of the Capital and Willowbrook Town began a joint investigation. Because of Vernon's statement, along with the recorded evidence he had cleverly kept from that time, an accident that had happened four years ago was quickly identified as a premeditated murder.
Vernon couldn't escape the responsibility, besides him, Berlin and Laura, the instigators, were also arrested.
Reggie used his political connections to ensure they wouldn't get away easily.
Even Cilian couldn't bail them out.
The investigation was still ongoing and the first trial was set for three days later.
The whole of the Capital was in chaos.
These two were involved in various sectors. Especially Laura's antique shop, which was greatly affected. She was completely caught off guard.
She knew Agnes would take some action, but she didn't expect it to happen this fast.
She was branded as a murderer so quickly.
The media in the Capital was buzzing.
"Oh my God, this woman is terrifying, murdering her own husband just to climb up the social ladder, truly, how vicious."
"Didn't they also expose her for cheating on Berlin? Everyone supported her then, it wasn't a matter of necessity, it was just old habits die hard."
"Berlin was wise, he quickly divorced her, but who would have thought he would be involved in this, ruined by a woman."
"The Thomas family sure has a lot going on recently, Cilian has always pampered his younger brother, he won't just stand by and watch him get into trouble, will he?"
