Heartstrings On Fire

Chapter 506

Agnes has always been a clock-in, clock-out type of gal

Lately, she’s been up to her eyeballs in work stress.

Her company’s just gone and set up a new Journalism Society in Willowbrook Town, called “NEWS”, and they’ve got their sights set on her as president. Agnes has been batting away this idea for months

But today, she got hauled into the boss’s office yet again.

Agnes didn’t want to go back to Willowbrook Town right now. First off, her son Nocturne was sick and needed regular treatments.

Secondly, she just didn’t feel it’s the right time.

She knew that someday she would have to go back.

There were some loose ends and responsibilities that she needed to tie up.

Over the years, Agnes had been working at the biggest news corporation in Manhattan, partly for personal reasons.

For the past four years, she’d been digging into her mom’s old graft and charity fraud case.

Looking back, there were a lot of things that still didn’t add up.
