Agnes' Awakening: From Zero to His Whole World novel Chapter 296

But on her very first day back, Agnes was hit with a huge shock.

The entrance to the Tidewhisper Lily studio had been smashed.

Someone had even sprayed big, ugly words in bright paint—"Murderer," "Butcher," and other hateful insults.

The staff had just arrived too, and everyone stood there in shock.

"Oh my God, what happened here?"

"Who would do something this awful? This is way too much! What are they trying to do?"

"Damn! Are these haters or something? This is insane! Let's check the security footage right now! We have to call the police!"

"I'm so mad right now... Agnes, are you okay?"

Agnes's face turned pale. She knew exactly who was behind this. That person was getting bolder and bolder.

But then again, if they could kill someone, something like vandalism was nothing to them.

She told the staff to call the building cleaners, then went to the security room to check the footage.

The video showed that late last night, a few people in black hoodies came to the studio entrance.

From the way they dressed and moved, they looked like street thugs.

Agnes knew they were probably hired to cause trouble.

After telling security to call the police, she headed back to the studio.

But from far away, she heard a sharp, eerie sound—bagpipes.

She quickened her pace. What she saw made her frown.

A group of people were kneeling at the entrance, crying loudly.

Soft candlelight flickered. White lilies and roses lined the hallway, their strong scent filling the air.

A black-and-white photo of Monica was placed right in the center.

The sound of bagpipes mixed with their wailing, making the whole scene feel chilling.

"Monica, you died such a tragic death..."

"Monica, why was your life so cruel?"

"Agnes, you murderer! Get out here! I want my daughter back!"

"Come out! You evil woman, Agnes! Come apologize to Ms. Hale and pay with your life!"

Inside the studio, the employees were already arguing with them.

"Who are you people? Leave now! Are you crazy? Stop making a mess! We're calling the police!"

Agnes asked, "You're Monica's parents?"

The woman nodded. "Yes! Monica is my biological daughter! We had no choice back then, so she was adopted by another family!"

As she spoke, she began to cry.

"She was lucky to be adopted by a rich family... But now... Sob..."

The man held her and said angrily, "Monica was framed again and again by that Agnes! In the end, she even caused her death! Agnes is evil!"

Agnes asked coldly, "Who told you that Agnes killed Monica?"

The woman answered, "Mrs. Hale from Hale Pharmaceuticals in Grandridge! She's Monica's adoptive mother. She raised Monica herself. She wouldn't lie to us!"

Agnes frowned in confusion. Bianca is in prison. How could she still be planning all this?

While she was distracted, the woman pointed at her again and shouted, "Who are you? Why are you asking so many questions? Call Agnes out here!"

Agnes let out a cold laugh. "Let me tell you something. I don't care if you really are Monica's biological parents. I want you gone—right now. Instead of going to the police to find out the truth, you come here to cause trouble. Someone must have put you up to this."

The middle-aged man sneered. "Wow, you're young, but you sure are arrogant. Who do you think you are? Move aside, or I'll..."

He raised his hand as if to slap her.

"Or I'll hit you too! Now move! Call Agnes out here!"
