Chapter 672 Laura was skilled at reading people/manipulating their emotions like a puppeteer.
She masterfully sowed discord and framed others, striking with precision.
Her mother had died from a profound misunderstanding and regret towards her father.
Her father never fully understood her mother until his death...
A heartbreaking tragedy had been orchestrated by Laura.
Laura, seeing Agnes almost lose control, maintained an unflinching smile, her face bearing an unwavering ease. As if they were just two old friends catching up. Laura took a sip of her tea, âWhatâs the matter, Agnes? Do you want to kill me?â
âI wish I could kill you right now,â Agnes admitted through gritted teeth.
Laura calmly replied, âBut you wonât, because you have no proof. Murder is punishable, but causing others to kill is the craftiest game in this world.âBooks Chapters Are Daily Updated Join & Stay Updated For All Books Updates...
âYouâre not afraid Iâll record all this and take you to court?â
âAgnes, I know you studied journalism and always carry a recorder, but I also know you didnât bring it today. We agreed this was a confèssion session. If I thought you had brought any recording devices, I wouldnât have said a word.â
Laura was right. She was smart and meticulous.
There was an infrared detector at her office door.
Any running recording devices or cell phones would be detected.
Laura brewed another pot of tea, continuing, âNow that Iâve confessed everything, itâs your turn. How did you find out that your fatherâs car accident was related to me and Berlin? And how did you break Berlinâs car?â.
Agnes began, âI found photos of you and Berlin having an affair in my dadâs drawer. The date on the photos was the day before my dadâs accident. I started to suspect that his accident was not accidental but premeditated. As for Berlinâs car, yes, I had someone tamper with it. My goal was to recreate the method you used years ago and make him suspect you. The photos he received of you and Hammer were also my doing. However, I spared him so he could survive.â
âYou didnât spare him out of kindness, but to use him against me. To have us destroy each other. Agnes, your tactics are just as vile.â
âEven at my worst, Iâm nowhere near as bad as you, Laura.â
Laura rose from her seat and walked behind. Agnes, placing a hand on her shoulder, âWe were mother and daughter once, even though you never saw me as your mother. Agnes, itâs better to resolve grudges than to hold onto them. Iâm getting old, and youâve managed to ruin my reputation. Letâs put the past behind us. Thereâs no deep hatred between us. I admit I was responsible for your motherâs ending, but her suicide was due to depression. She couldnât cope, and you canât blame that entirely on me. Your fatherâs accident was Berlinâs doing. Youâve avenged them by ruining me.â
