Chapter 325

Agnes cut straight to the chase, “Dad, do you remember that yesterday was the anniversary of mom’s passing?”

Preston’s expression changed immediately. “How could I possibly forget?”

A wave of sadness washed over Preston’s face, “It’s been a whole decade since your mom passed away. I visited

her yesterday. Her image on the gravestone is still the same as it was ten years ago, her smile so kind and loving.

But I’ve aged”

Seeing her dad’s melancholic demeanor, Agnes said, “Dad, I have a question for you, and I want you to tell me the

truth.”

Preston had rarely seen her daughter look so cold. He had a sense of foreboding in his heart. “What’s wrong?”

“How did mom really die? Was it due to illness, or was it suicide?”

Agnes’ lips trembled as she uttered the word suicide.

Even now, Agnes couldn’t accept this reality

When Preston heard the word, he seemed frozen. For a moment his face changed strangely. Just by looking at

Preston’s unusual behavior, Agnes felt like she already knew the answer.

Preston asked, “Who told you this, was it your grandma?”

“You don’t need to know how I found out. I just want the truth. Did mom commit suicide? Tell me, did she die by

suicide?”

Agnes was getting worked up, her fingers clenched tightly into a fist

Her body started to tremble uncontrollably.

Suddenly, the man she’s been calling ‘dad for over two decades felt like a stranger to her.

Preston looked at Agnes, his strength seemed to drain away.

He slumped into the couch, one hand covering his face in agony, “Your mom… she committed suicide.”

That sentence, like, threw Agnes into the deep end. So it was all true. Her grandma was telling the truth. Her

mother had committed suicide because of her father’s betrayal.

Agnes was devastated.

She had a perfect family, a mother who loved her dearly, but it was all ruined by her own father.

Agnes gripped her hand tightly, holding back the tears.

“Dad, why did you do this? Why did you betray mom? What was wrong with mom? Why did you have to mess

around with other women? Why did you hurt mom? Why did you make her feel so desperate that she committed

suicide?”

Preston looked utterly miserable, he couldn’t even lift his head.

Every mention of Julia seemed to plunge him deeper into his memories of the past, and he started choking back

sobs.

Seeing him like this, Agnes was almost certain of his guilt.

Now, Agnes could finally understand the despair her mother must have felt when she was betrayed by the person

she trusted the most.

She felt like the world was too filthy, not worth sticking around.

“Why did you do this? Tell me, you married Laura less than half a year after mom died. Beatrice Pritchard is only

two years older than me, which means you’ve been having an affair for at least eight years. I’ve never brought this

up before, but that doesn’t mean I wasn’t affected. I’ve been trying to convince myself, telling myself that even

though you betrayed mom, you still loved her. That woman was just a momentary lapse in judgment. But now,

mom committed suicide because of you, you’re the one who drove her to it, you’re the murderers!”

Agnes was almost screaming out of control.

“Who told you we killed your mother? She brought it on herself.” A female voice echoed from the doorway.

Agnes turned around, and there stood Laur
