Agnes was preparing for work when the door to her room swung open and an enraged Dorothy stormed in.
"Did you make a transaction of 10,000 dollars from your account?" Dorothy asked, catching Agnes off guard.
With her hand gripping the comb more firmly, she anxiously gazed at her mother through the mirror.
"I needed to buy a gift for Eric," she lied, looking away and continuing to carry on with her errand.
Dorothy clenched her jaw and marched toward her daughter, forcefully making her turn to look at her.
"Don't you lie to me, Agnes? I spoke with your manager, who informed me that you gave that money to Niko Ford. Don't tell me you actually hired him to leak that news about Winter and her daughter."
Agnes's face drained hue the instant her mother uncovered her deceit. She was fully aware that her mother kept a close watch on every aspect of her life, yet she foolishly thought that no one would ever discover it.
