Chapter 535

After Lundy took off, Agnes hopped back into her car.

She sat there, lost in thought for a good while.

The situation seemed straightforward, but she knew better.

Whether the deposit receipt was with Alyssa or Laura didn’t make much difference.

Getting to either of them was gonna be a real pain in the ass.

Alyssa was holed up in S City.

And Laura had tied the knot with Berlin Thomas and was how living it up in the Capital.

Agnes hadn’t been back for long.

But she figured, now would be a good time to pay Laura and Beatrice a visit.

Perfect timing really, since she remembered Beatrice’s birthday was coming up tomorrow.

Given Beatrice’s social standing and her flamboyant personality, she was bound to throw a massive party.

A quick Google search confirmed Agnes‘ hunch – Beatrice was hosting a charity auction for her birthday.

Apparently, she was auctioning off her collection of jewels and antiques, and all the proceeds were going to charity.

This raised a few eyebrows for Agnes.

This didn’t sound like the Beatrice she knew.

She dug a little deeper into what Beatrice had been up to these past years.

Turns out, she had a pretty solid reputation in her circle.

She was handling PR for the Thomas Group.

The job might sound fancy and all, but it didn’t carry much weight. But, she had been killing it these past few years.

Four years ago, her reputation was in the gutter.

Of course, that was partly because Agnes had had her arrested, painting her as a cold and scheming woman.

She was kicked out of school and blacklisted in the entertainment industry.

But everything changed after a car accident Beatrice had.

Word has it that she suffered amnesia after a severe crash.

She didn’t remember anything about her past.

And the once arrogant and heartless Beatrice had a complete personality flip.

She turned kind and benevolent, and started doing all these charitable deeds.

Her big comeback was during a devastating earthquake two years ago.

Apparently, she sold all her jewelry and properties and donated tens of millions of dollars to the victims.

Suddenly, she was the talk of the town.

Agnes found an audio interview with Beatrice after her massive donation.

There was no video, just audio.

The voice was definitely Beatrice’s, but the tone was nothing like the Beatrice she knew.

Beatrice said, “I’ve done a lot of bad things in the past, and I’ve paid the price. I had a car accident and lost all my

memories. I believe it’s a second chance for me to start over. I’ve been through life and death, and it made me

realize the meaning of life, which is to help more people…”

After the interview, Agnes couldn’t help but scoff.

Beatrice’s way of polishing her image was quite crafty.

Amnesia?

Did she think this was some soap opera?

Beatrice had tried to off herself by driving off a cliff.

Agnes could still see the blood smeared all over Beatrice’s face and her fiery eyes.

Could Beatrice really change?

She’d find out tomorrow.

Agnes found out that Beatrice’s birthday charity gala was set at The Capital Hotel’s banquet hall.

She had invited a bunch of high society ladies from the Capital, as well as some tycoons, celebrities, and socialites.

As Berlin’s stepdaughter, Beatrice’s status now commanded respect from everyone.

Only 500 invitations were sent out.

Being a high society event, scalpers had scooped up the invites and were selling them at a premium.

Agnes didn’t put in much effort, just shelled out a little cash and snagged herself an invite.
