Chapter 329
The report said Julia once set up a fund named “Angelic Wings”, aiming to help orphans and left-behind children.
At that time, after the earthquake, many children became orphans. Julia raised funds, planning to build a welfare
home.
But shockingly, she transferred most of the donations she received into her personal account.
The story was finally revealed because of a one-time donation of $2 million from a wealthy man. However, this
money didn’t end up in the construction of the orphanage, instead, it vanished into thin air.
After an investigation, it was found that the money had been divided up and there was little left. In the course of the
investigation, some scandals of collusion between government and business were also revealed, and the impact
was extremely bad. In the end, Julia was sentenced to 8 years in prison, but due to health issues, the sentence was
postponed.

After Julia’s death, the two government officials involved were also taken down, and the whole drama gradually
faded from public view.
Because of orders from higher-ups, the media stopped reporting on it.
Agnes stared at the report, feeling her blood turning to ice.
She couldn’t believe her mom would embezzle donations.
Her mom had always been so gentle, so kind.
She often visited the welfare home to see the kids, buying them lots of stuff.
She was always super gentle with animals.
Agnes simply couldn’t picture her mom doing something like this.
Agnes felt a huge unease. She went from disbelief to gradually feeling upset and heartbroken.
If her mom really did these things, did she have her reasons?
Agnes was unwilling to think of her mom as a bad person.
However, as the years went by, all that was left were bits and pieces of clues.
Her mom was already gone.
There were so many things Agnes would never know
Agnes squatted down, going through all the reports about her mom again.
Some reports even dissected her mom’s family background in great detail.
In the pile of reports, Agnes found an old photo.
It was a photo of her mom when she was young, about twenty years old
At that time, her mom had just graduated from film school, and it was a graduation photo with her class.
Although these reports were just digging up some gossip, Agnes saw a familiar face in the photo.
It was Alyssa Whitfield.
Even though it was a photo from twenty years ago, Alyssa didn’t look much different from back then.

When she saw the photo, Agnes’s heart raced.
In the photo, Alyssa and Julia could be seen hugging each other, smiling broadly and looking very close. Agnes
stared at the photo for a long time.
Finally, the tucked the newspaper into her bag.
She skimmed through the event, realizing it was a long time ago.
Jared had already called to ask where she was
Agnes told him her location and Jared showed up quickly.
Agnes got into the car, her mind full of doubts.
As Jared was driving, he reached out and held Agnes’s hand, “Still struggling with that thing?”
Agnes shook her head, “It seems to be getting more complicated”
“Do you need my help?”
“No need, and if I can’t figure it out, I’ll ask for your help.”
Agnes fell silent for a while, then suddenly asked, “Did Alyssa graduate from film school?”
