Heartstrings on Fire novel Chapter 534

Lundy started to speak, "About this whole thing, it's been bugging me for years. To be honest, I've never even met this Julia person. But back then, my greed got the better of me and I made a terrible mistake. I wanted that huge sum of money. The deal was for me to handle a large amount of funds discretely, through bank procedures. To put it bluntly, it was money laundering. I secretly went through with it, never imagining that I was digging my own grave."

"So, you're saying you've never met my mother, who gave you the money then?"

"All the operations were managed by my secretary at the time. But after the shit hit the fan, he vanished without a trace. He's still missing, which only makes me think this was a trap, expertly laid out for me. But I have no idea if the target was me or Julia."

Agnes had already guessed as much, she figured this was all Alyssa's doing.

Even Tim knew, only the Whitfield family had the clout to get away with it. Despite many suspicions, no one dared to dig in.

But over the years, Agnes had found new leads.

Especially through Alicia, Agnes knew Laura and her father were also involved.

If Laura was involved, things got even more complicated.

Agnes asked, "Did you ever hear about a woman named Laura?"

Lundy shook his head, "Doesn't ring a bell."

Lundy put it plainly, "In other words, whoever made the original deposit must still have the receipt from the Swiss bank. Whoever has the receipt for the half a million is the mastermind."

Agnes was surprised by this unexpected windfall.

Things just got a whole lot simpler.

For the past four years, Agnes had been suspecting that Laura was also involved in the past incident, or at least pulled some strings behind the scenes.

Now, if she could just figure out whether the deposit receipt was with Laura or Alyssa, everything would be crystal clear.
