Heartstrings on Fire Novel Full Episode -
Chapter 131-140
Chapter 131
Sitting opposite Agnes, Justin plonked down a heap of barbequed Argentinean red prawns.
“So, what’s your game plan for your situation?” Justin asked, peeling shrimp.
Agnes wasn’t sure.
Her divorce agreement was torn to shreds by Jared.
“If you need a lawyer, I can help you out.”
Agnes didn’t want to escalate things to the point where the court had to intervene.
If it ever came to that, her relationship with Mr. Whitfield would be out in the open.
And Agnes knew very well Jared wouldn’t let things get to that point.
Perhaps he wouldn’t want anyone to know that he had been married before.
“Let’s wait and see. I believe he’ll call it quits, after all, bigamy is illegal.”
Justin nodded, handing over a peeled prawn to Agnes.
*Justin, I don’t want it. Agnes frowned.
“Jared’s watching.”
Agnes felt a pang of nerves. Without further hesitation, she took the prawn and bit into it.
Justin put on a disposable glove, chuckling while he fondly pinched Agnes’s cheek, “Agnes, you look adorable when you eat.”
Jared saw everything. His face was poker–faced, but his hands were balled into fists.
Agnes and Justin had their cozy moment; suddenly, she found it all a bit dull..
Why was she doing such childish things?
Would Jared care if he saw?
He might just think they were clowning around.
So, when Justin passed her another peeled prawn, Agnes stood up and said, “Justin, I’m stuffed. I’ll take off first.”
Agnes left alone. The party was still going, but Agnes returned to the dormitory.
The dormitory was very quiet.
Initially, the dormitory was rented by the production crew for the actors.
Now, almost all the actors were having a feast on the field.
The whole dormitory was pitch black, eerily silent.
Agnes was about to go in.
But she noticed a tall figure leaning under the street lamp in front of the dormitory.
Agnes was taken aback before realizing that it was Jared.
Why would Jared be here?
But Agnes quickly understood. Probably because he saw Mamie today and finally had an epiphany.
Maybe he came to talk about the divorce. That’s a good thing..
Agnes walked up to Jared.
“Were the prawns good?”
Before Agnes could open her mouth, Jared broke the silence.
His voice was low, with a hint of sarcasm and mockery that made people frown.
Agnes forced a smile, “Of course, they were good. They were air–shipped here, each live red prawn worth hundreds of bucks. They must taste great. Thanks to Mr. Whitfield’s generosity.”
“I think, you didn’t eat it because it tasted good, but because Justin personally peeled it for you. You two seemed pretty close.”
Agnes didn’t back down, “You and Ms. Mamie seemed pretty chummy too.”
Their eyes locked, and Jared’s eyes were cold, but there was a hint of anger.
After a while, Jared said, “If they were so tasty, why didn’t you eat more? Why’d you come back so early?”
Agnes shot back, “And you? Why are you lingering outside the girls‘ dormitory? Are you… waiting for me?*
Chapter 132
Jared went silent for a moment, then sand word for word, “I was indeed waiting for you”
“Really? So you’ve finally come to your seoses to sign the divorce papera?
The moment Agnes words left her mouth, the atmosphere turned i
The expression on Jared’s face seemed to change at her words.
This woman always seemed to be talking about divorce.
Was she really that desperate, not wanting to wait even for a moment
Was she itching to get rid of him so she could
The air went dead silent!
Agnes faintly felt her phone vibrating in her bag.
Who on earth would be calling her at this moment?
into Justin’s arms without any quilt?
Agnes began to rummage through her bag to get her phone out.
But this action was all too familiar to Jared
A few days ago, at the airport.
The moment Agnes saw him, she pulled out a set of divorce papers from her bag and shoved it in front of him, demanding a signature.
Did she always carry the divorce papers with her?
Was she always waiting to run into him to force him to sign?
As Agnes reached for her phone, Jared suddenly grabbed her hand.
The next second, Agnes found herself pinned against a lamppost by Jared.
Agnes was startled
“Jared, what the hell are you doing?”
Agnes snapped, looking up to see Jared’s cold and terrifying face.
Jared’s words seemed to be squeezed out through gritted teeth.
“Agnes, don’t push it!
His voice was low and suppressed
His voice hinted at grinding anger, and his eyes were like the ocean at night, calm on the surface but seemingly about to unleash a tidal wave of rage that would swallow everything.
Agnes could feel the intense anger radiating from Jared, but she had no idea where this anger was coming from.
What had she done to piss him off?
Was there a more understanding woman in the world than her?
Wouldn’t anyone else demand some sort of compensation?
“Mr. Whitfield, how have I wronged you? The divorce papers clearly state that I don’t want anything from you. What else do you want? Just sign the papers, and we can cut our ties completely. I promise not to bother you or appear in your life to cause you trouble. If you’re still unsatisfied, tell me, what else do you want?”
Looking at Agnes, Jared wanted to strangle her.
She’d rather have nothing than have anything to do with him; quite a clean break indeed.
It just showed how little she cared about him, how desperate she was to leave him.
In her eyes, their marriage was just a nuisance she was eager to eliminate, awkward and ugly, with no nostalgia.
So, what did he, hot husband, mean to her?
Jared’s grip on Agnes’s wrist tightened, and Agnes cried out in pain, “Let go of me, Jared, what the hell do you want?”
“I’m going to show you what I will do next!”
Suddenly, Agnes felt a surge of pain in her back.
Jared had her pinned against the lamppost and was kissing her like a madman….
Agnes was truly stunned, having no idea what had just happened.
Jared’s kiss was unlike any before; it was suffocatingly intense!
Chapter 133
His calm, unique scent mixed with the smell of alcohol filled her nostrils and mouth.
Had he been drinking? That would explain everything!
Agnes pushed Jared away with all her strength, shouting, “Jared, what the hell are you thinking?”
Jared stepped back, touching his mouth where Agnes had bitten him in her struggle.
A mark of blood was left on his lip.
With another step back, his expression turned colder.
Agnes stared at him, her eyes wide and alert, like a cat ready to pounce.
Her anger slowly subsided.
Jared was back to his usual cold facade.
“Agnes, believe me or not, I can make Justin fall from great heights.”
“What are you trying to pull? A chill ran down Agnes’s spine.
“What I do depends on your actions, Agnes. Don’t make me jealous, or I don’t know what I’ll do.”
Before Agnes could respond, Jared had already turned and left.
Agnes stood there with a mix of anger and confusion.
What was wrong with Jared? He was back with Mamie, wasn’t he? Why would he say something like that? Does he want to share his heart with two different women? Even if she didn’t mind, would Mamie accept her existence?
Agnes couldn’t figure out what was going on in Jared’s head.
Her phone vibrated in her bag. It was a missed call from Justin.
Agnes was too upset to answer.
The next day, she continued filming.
For the next three days, Mamie was on set.
Agnes thought it would be challenging, but Mamie didn’t intentionally give her a hard time.
The last scene for Mamie was the grand finale of the drama.
It was the wedding of Sylvia and Samie. All their friends and family were present, and the couple received Naomi’s blessing.
In the afternoon, everyone went to Nora Church to film the wedding.
For the first time, Agnes was wearing a wedding dress, standing at the altar holding a man’s hand.
Justin looked stunning, like a prince straight out of a fairy tale.
Mamie had someone record the whole process and send it to Jared.
She also sent him a message: “Your wife has a bed scene tonight. Wanna come watch?”
Sure enough, Jared returned to Maplewood Manor early.
The only bed scene in the script was filmed at Maplewood Manor.
Agnes was a little scared about this scene.
The director explained. You need to show your feelings, got it? Samie should be filled with desire, a bit wild. The audience loves that Sylvia should go from shy to unrestrained, showing her deep love.”
Justin suggested, “I’m wonderful with it. How about we add a twist? Like the main characters taking a bath first?”
Agnes rolled her eyes at Justin.
Just hearing the director explain the scene made her blush.
She really disliked being intimate with men, even if it was Justin.
The thought of filming an intimate scene made her nervous.
But this was work, and as an actor, she had to separate her personal feelings from her professional duties.
Once everything was ready, the director waved his hand and said, “Action”
The scene started with Samie carrying Sylvia into the room, laying her on the bed, and then a deep kiss…
“Hold on.” A cold male voice came from the doorway
Everyone whipped their heads toward the source of the sound.
Chapter 134
Jared stood at the door, his icy demeanor seemingly dropping the room temperature.
A sea of puzzled faces filled the room.
“Wasn’t Mr. Whitfield always up to his neck at work?
Why did he always have time to monitor the film crew, mainly when this scene didn’t even involve Mamie?”
Mamie was there, too. Despite not being part of the scene, she was on set watching, just like everyone else
Seeing Jared, Mamie’s face subtly changed.
She didn’t think he would actually show
Under the scrutiny of everyone, Jared walked in, approached Agnes, and coldly said, “No bedroom scenes. Get a stand–in”
His words made the room even quieter. Everyone was taken aback.
Mr. Whitfield didn’t want Agnes to do a bed scene?
This was big news
Was there something between Mr. Whitfield and Agnes?
What’s more, Mamie was also present. Mr. Whitfield actually stopped another woman from doing a bed scene in front of Mamie without considering her feelings.
Everyone’s eyes fell on Mamie. As expected, her expression had turned sour.
Agnes felt even more awkward.
Has Jared gone nuts?
Telling her what to do in front of everyone, wasn’t he afraid of being misunderstood?
Justin stood before Agnes and asked, “Mr. Whitfield, don’t you think you’re overstepping your boundaries? What’s your relationship with Agnes that even her scenes are your concern?”
“You know our relationship. On the other hand, you should check if you can handle it before trying to steal someone else’s girl”
The director came over, looking puzzled.
Justin turned to the director, “Director Zoe, if a stand–in is used, I’m out. You can get whomever you want.”
Director Zoe was in a bind, “Mr. Whitfield, Agnes‘ stand–in isn’t on set. This might be difficult.”
Jared didn’t care, being the main investor in this drama.
“Who said the stand–in had to be a woman? I meant for Justin’s part.”
The director was taken aback. Ivan had found a stand–in for Agnes but not for Justin.
“Then who could replace Justin?” Director Zoe asked, puzzled.
“Me, Jared answered without hesitation.
Agnes was stunned. What on earth was happening?
Everyone was confused.
But one thing was clear….
There’s definitely more than meets the eye between Agnes and Mr. Whitfield.
The awkwardness was reaching a breaking point when Ivan stepped in and broke the stalemate.
He had actually come with Jared and had seen everything from the door.
As the producer, Ivan had a lot of say here..
Ivan walked over and whispered something to the director.
The director’s face was a mix of expressions. Then he said to Justin, “Justin, step outside with me. I have something to discuss with you”
Reluctantly, Justin was led out by Ivan. Suddenly, the director waved his hand and said, “Let’s continue shooting; everyone back to your positions.”
Everyone was stunned
What were they supposed to shoot without the male lead?
“Mr. Whitfield, you’ll be Justin’s stand–in Let’s get started, the director said.
What the heck was going on?
Why would Tim Group’s CEO, Jared, play a stand–in on a whim? Especially in a bedroom scene?
Was Jared really not worried about Mamie getting jealous?
Chapter 135
C
Chapter 135
Jared is getting changed.
Agnes notices that the people around them are whispering
“What’s the deal between Agnes and Mr. Whitfield?”
1sn’t Mr Whitfield about to marry Mamie? Why is he still actively doing love scenes with Agnes in front of Mamie?”
“1 heard before that Agnes was pre–selected for the lead role, with a sugar daddy backing her up. It seems like that sugar daddy is Mr. Whitfield.”
“Who would’ve thought that quiet Agnes was this type of girl?”
Beatrice also witnessed this scene today
She was fuming.
She had suspected something between Agnes and Jared before.
She didn’t expect it to be true.
She never thought that the quiet and reserved Agnes would actually be the type to cling to the powerful, even to be a mistress.
All her pride was just a facade.
Jared had finished changing and came out.
The director explained the plot.
Because they switched stunt doubles, the shooting plan was different from before.
Every move of Agnes became the focus.
Jared would only appear from behind throughout.
Agnes stared at Jared as he slowly approached.
This man, does he really not know what he’s done? Doesn’t he know how much trouble he’s caused her today?
But Jared completely ignored Agnes‘ glare.
He even nonchalantly raised an eyebrow.
Having been around Jared for so long. Agnes knew this was a sign he was in a good mood.
This was too much.
According to the script, Jared would suddenly lift Agnes, who was standing at the door.
Jared walked over without hesitation and lifted Agnes.
Agnes was not ready and screamed. But she reflexively wrapped her arms around Jared’s neck.
The director shouted: “Action!”
Jared held Agnes and walked towards the bed.
He had barely walked a few steps when the director yelled cut.
“Agnes, your expression is wrong. It needs to be loving; why do you look like you’re about to die together?”
Agnes wished she could die with this man, it would save her from the upcoming rumors and gossip.
But Agnes didn’t want to delay the shooting.
Agnes adjusted her mindset.
Jared lifted Agnes again, walked to the bed, put her down, undid his tie, and kissed her without hesitation.
There was a collective gasp in the room.
But the director also yelled cut at that moment, “Agnes, you’re too stiff. Relax a bit. You must consider the person in front of you as someone you deeply
love”
If Agnes had a knife right now, she’d stab Jared.
The director re–explained the plot for a while.
“Take it from the top”
But Agnes’s performance was not satisfactory each time, which resulted in the kissing scene being shot several times.
Some girls around them whispered “Is Agnes doing this intentionally, trying to take advantage of Mr. Whitfield?”
“I think Agnes is challenging Mamie Agnes’s relationship with Mr. Whitfield is definitely special. But Mamie and Mr. Whitfield are recognized as a couple, so that’s why Mamie was not nice to Agnes before. Now with Mr. Whitfield’s appearance, Agnes has a chance to retaliate. Didn’t you see Mamie’s face.
how awful it looked?”
“Who would’ve thought Agnes could be so cunning? Isn’t this publicly humiliating Mamie? Mamie might be so angry that she can’t accept it.”
Chapter 136
When Jared was shooting the kiss scene, his powerful chanisma made all the girls squeal
He was just too hot and charming
Everyone wished they could be the one in bed with him at that moment
He was like the overbearing CEO in revels In fact, he was the overbearing CEO in real life
Agnes had some drinks and was a bit dizzy Ava had walked up to her, holding the unsteady Agres Agres, are you okay?
Agnes shook her head
The director, watching the screen, couldn’t help but compliment, Agnes, you did great this time. The depth of your eyes and your expressions of love were perfect. The kiss scene was very natural, no awkwardness at all
Of course, they were natural Countless kiss scenes had made them experts
Because there was another scene that night
So Agnes returned to the set with everyone else
On the way, everyone was quiet
May Kelly couldn’t help but ask, “Agnes, what’s going on between you and Mr. Whitfield?
Agnes didn’t know how to answer.
With all the commotion today, things had changed.
She originally wanted to divorce peacefully, pretending she had never met this man.
But now.
And Agnes didn’t know how it was going to blow up. Marnie probably wouldn’t let her off the hook.
Agnes didn’t know how to answer, so she leaned on Ava’s shoulder and pretended to be dizzy, I have a headache
Ava quickly said, “Let Agnes rest for a while, she can’t hold her liquor, she must be drunk now”
Beatrice teased from the side, “I think you’re drunk on Jared’s kiss, Agnes. I didn’t expect you to be so careless, becoming someone else’s mistress Didn’t you know that Mamie and Jared are getting married soon?”
“Weren’t you saying that was just a rumor?”
Beatrice was taken aback but still retorted, “Agnes, what’s really going on between you and Jared? Don’t tell us there’s nothing or treat us like idiots”
“He’s my husband, okay?” Agnes just let it all out
Everyone in the car went quiet.
Beatrice was stunned, then laughed. “Agnes, are you daydreaming? If Jared is your husband, I’ll jump off a building”
Beatrice’s laughter was full of scorn
In Jared’s eyes, Agnes was probably just an embarrassing mistress, and she dared to claim she was his wife.
A man like Jared, even Mamie didn’t deserve him, how could he marry Agnes?
Everyone else also looked skeptical
As if Agnes was drunk and talking nonsense.
Suddenly, Agnes thought, why bother hiding it?
Even if she told the world that she and Jared were married, no one would believe her anyway
The scene that night didn’t get shot.
Because Justin was nowhere to be found
Agnes called him, but Justin didn’t pick up.
Agnes lay on the dorm bed, Jared’s face kept flashing in her mind.
Ava kept poking her head out from the top bunk, seemingly wanting to say something.
Agnes just asked, “If you have a question, just ask
Ava finally asked, Agnes, what’s really going on between you and Mr. Whitfield?”
Agnes answered, “If I told you we’re married, would you believe me?”
“I would.”
This time it was Agnes who was surprised, “Why?”
“Because the way Mr. Whitfield looks at you is different. How should I put it? It’s full of love”
Jaled looked at her with eyes full of love, and she didn’t even notice
Suddenly, Ava got excited and crawled down from the top bunk and into Agnes’s bed
If you’re married to Mr. Whitfield, why is there a rumor that Mr. Whitfield is going to marry Mamie?”
10:31
Agnes sighed, “We are indeed married, but we’re getting a divorce soon.”
Chapter 137
“What the hell?”
“He’s not into me, I’m just his plan B.”
Ava could sorta guess the situation.
In the love story of Cinderella and the Prince, a princess is always a perfect match for the prince.
Seeing Agnes’s mood. Ava didn’t ask any more questions.
Agnes’s phone started to ring. It was freaking Jared.
Agnes hesitated but answered it anyway.
Jared’s deep and magnetic voice came from the other side, “Why haven’t you come back yel?”
“Not coming back; I have work early tomorrow.”
“You promised to come home tonight.”
“When did I promise you that?”
“Hmm?” Jared’s voice went up. “Do you need me to remind you?”
Agnes blushed instantly.
Of course, she remembered.
“I don’t want to come back, Agnes whispered.
“Do you want me to pick you up?”
“No“”
“Then show up in half an hour.”
Jared hung up before she could reply.
Agnes was pissed off but got up and put on her shoes anyway.
“Agnes, where are you going this late?”
Agnes sighed, “To see an annoying old man.”
Ava,
Agnes didn’t dare to disobey Jared, so she obediently went to Maplewood Manor.
Maplewood Manor was brightly lit
As Agnes started to climb the stairs, she was pulled back by a strong force.
The next second she was pinned against the wall.
Kisses showered down on her.
That familiar scent made Agnes’s mind go blank
In front of her was a stunningly handsome face.
People always say Jared is an aloof god, just one look could make your heart race.
But honestly, Jared is even more irresistible when he’s passionate.
Jared had one hand against the wall, the other hand holding Agnes’s head, holding her in his arms, dominant yet gentle.
Jared was a great kisser, Agnes couldn’t resist
Soon she was dizzy and disoprented.
Finally, Jared carried Agnes into the bedroom.
The moment they hit the bed, Agnes suddenly snapped back to reality.
She pushed Jared aside.
The interrupted man looked disgruntled.
“What time is it, and you won’t let me kiss?”
“Jared, if you need to satisfy your desires, find another woman, don’t come to me.”
Agnes was pissed
Was she his tool for venting desires?
Coming home without a word, and just…..
Jared’s lace turned dark instantly
“Find another woman? Agnes, what are you talking about?”
“I’m just speaking the truth, Jared, I don’t know what you guys think, but for me, many problems can’t be solved by being intimate; we better keep some
distance now to avoid awkwardness in the future.”
Jared sat up straight, the desire in his eyes slowly faded, replaced by a deep indifference.
1s Justin really that good that you’ve decided to divorce me?”
Agnes felt confused, not knowing how the topic suddenly changed.
But what does this have to do with Justin?
Their problems were never about Justin, Jared was always good at shifting focus.
Chapter 138
Agnes was fed up with Jared’s act of playing dumb.
“He’s better than you, Jared I’m done going around in circles with you. If you still refuse to divorce, I’ll go straight to a lawyer. If you don’t mind being exposed” Jared seemed indifferent on the surface, but anger was burning inside him
She was quite something, making him so mad in just a few seconds. In all these years, she was the first one to do so.
She had asked him for a divorce three times in just three days
Jared’s voice became colder. “Agnes, I forgot to tell you when we got married, divorce doesn’t exist in my dictionary, only widowhood”
Agnes looked at him in disbelief
His cold face sent shivers down her spine.
She had never seen such a sinister side of Jared before.
Jared slammed the door and left
Soon, Agnes heard the roaring sound of a car downstairs.
Jared had left Maplewood Manor
Where was he going so late?
Was he going to see Mamie?
Agnes was exhausted, she quickly fell asleep on the bed.
The next morning
Agnes went to the set
When she entered the makeup room, she saw everyone gathering together to discuss something
As she entered, everyone immediately quieted down.
They all had strange looks in their eyes.
Agnes was puzzled
Ava came over, a worned look on her face, “Agnes, you’re on the entertainment headlines”
She handed Agnes a tabloid.
The headline read, “Queen’s fiancé caught cheating, seen sneaking around with newbie at midnight.”
There were a few pictures below.
Paparazzi obviously took them with a telephoto lens.
Two people kissing in the hallway.
Agnes remembered the hallway of Maplewood Manor was transparent from north to south, and the southernmost balcony was floor–to–ceiling windows, probably where the photos were taken from.
The photos were not clear, but the silhouettes of the two people could be made out.
The article also revealed her identity
The report was sharp, directly pointing out she was the third party between Mamie and Jared.
There were various rumors that she had gotten the lead role in the new drama through under–the table means.
The internet was filled with criticism as soon as the news came out
Mamie’s fans called for “Agnes to get out of the entertainment industry; the topic had tens of millions of views and unprecedented heat
Even Justin’s fans feared that the female lead would drag down their idol, joining the call for “Demand for replacement of Cinderella’s female lead
Agnes’s name was immediately at the center of public opinion.
Beatrice crossed her arms and came over, gloating, “Agnes, what do you have to say now, still not admitting to being the third party? I wonder how you’ll clear your name this time Mr. Whitfield will hold a press conference at three in the afternoon, he’ll surely cut lies with you. If I were you, I’d rather kill myself now than drown in Mamie’s fans‘ saliva.”
Beatrice was ecstatic
Last night, she saw Agnes sneaking out late at night and hired paparazzi to follow her.
Unexpectedly, they bumped into such big news.
This time, there’s no way Agnes could redeem her image.
In the entertainment industry, nothing is more despised than low morals.
She was involved in a relationship between Marie and the CEO of the Tim Group right at the crucial time of their engagement.
As soon as the news came out, the Tim Group immediately announced that they would hold a press conference, obviously eager to clarify the situation.
This kind of thing is all too common in the entertainment industry
In these cases, either you deny it until there’s concrete evidence, usually, the weaker party takes the blame. Of course, the man might give the woman a sum of money enough for her to live worry–free for the rest of her life.
But anyway, Agnes’s acting career will be completely ruined.
Matrice was over the moon.
Chapter 139
She thought Jared was just into Agnes for her looks and was just messing around with her.
Now that the cat was out of the bag. Agnes became his liability, and he would ditch her without a second thought
Beatrice was just waiting for the moment to see Agnes’s reputation take a nosedive
Even though the news had hit the fan. Director Zoe didn’t give a hoot, all the morning shoots went as planned
Even though no one directly addressed it, it was in everyone’s mind.
At lunch, Agnes received a message from Jared
It was a simple text 2 pm. Tim Tower Presidents meeting room, let’s call it quits.
Agnes stared at her phone for a good ten minutes
She felt like a knife was cutting her
Even though she saw this day coming it still hurt like hell.
Was it over?
Jared finally got it, she should breathe a sigh of relief.
But under the current circumstances, Agnes had no clue how Jared would deal with it.
Maybe to save Mamie’s face, he would really do as Beatrice predicted and cut ties with her
If Jared had some decency, he might publicly announce their short lived marriage and sign the divorce papers
But Agnes thought, given their current relationship, Jared wouldn’t be that decent
No matter the outcome, Agnes was ready to bite the bullet
As Agries was in a daze. Justin sat down next to her, “I’ll go with you this afternoon”
Agnes immediately put her phone away
Justin gave her a glance. “Don’t hide it, I saw it”
“I dont want to go from one mess to another
“I can tell the world that I like you, Agnes If you divorce him today, fil marry you tomorrow”
“Justin, don’t joke around I dont feel that way about you, we’re just friends”
“This is the third time you ve rejected me Justin was clearly disappointed
But after a while, he suddenly ruffled Agnes’s hair, it’s okay, I can wait for you, I’m so handsome, you’ll fall for me sooner or later
Agnes asked the director for leave.
She arrived at Tim Tower on time
She had interned there, so she knew the place like the back of her hand
To enter the meeting room, one has to pass through the president’s secretary’s office first
She almost knew everyone there
Everyone peculiarly looked at her.
Yolanda Bowman stood directly before Agnes “Is it true about you and Mr. Whitfield?”
Yolanda was a year ahead of her, had already graduated, and worked in the secretary department
But during her internship, Agnes noticed that Yolanda had a big crush on Jared.
“This is my business and has nothing to do with you” Agnes didn’t know Yolanda very well and was not in the mood to explain.
After saying that, Agnes bypassed her and was about to leave.
Yolanda was so angry that she stomped her foot and pointed at Agnes’s back, “You shameless homewrecker, how dare you show up today? I want to see what happens you”
Yolanda didn’t even care about her image anymore
All because she had been crushing on Jared for so long and was still ignored by him
But the photo leaked yesterday. Jared was so passionate, radiating masculine solid charm, which was a total opposite of his usual cold demeanor
It’s not that she resented Agnes for being the third wheel, but why couldn’t she be Jared’s lover?
Chapter 140
Chapter 140
The press conference was held in the meeting room, and Agnes purposely arrived a bit late
By now, many reporters had already gathered there.
The Interview hadn’t even started and everyone was already chit chatting
“Where’s Mamie? I thought she’d be here”
*This time, Mamie really lost face. She just got engaged not long ago, and her fiancé is now invalveil in a scandal with a newbie in the entertainment industry”
“You guys are just too naive. Which man in the entertainment circle doesn’t love a few lovers? Maybe Mamie just chose to look the other way. As long as she can hold onto the title of Mrs Whitfield, what harm can these rumors do?”
“But Mamie is indeed awesome. She managed to get the Tim Group CEO to clear up the rumors. It seems he really cares about her”
Jared sat in the chairman’s seat, his gaze fixed on the door as if waiting for something.
The moment Agnes appeared, Jared’s expression shifted slightly
He couldn’t be waiting for her, could he? Agnes thought gloomily
Yes, how was she supposed to sign the divorce agreement if she didn’t show up?
All the cameras were ready.
Mr. Whitfield might not be a figure in the entertainment industry, but because of his background, he has always been the focus of attention
Especially it’s rumored that he is Mamie’s fiancé
This incident has stirred up unprecedented attention in the entertainment circle
At this moment, Jared’s secretary, Leo, stood up and said, “Everyone quiet down. The clarification press conference will now begin. Mr. Whitfield has something to say”
The meeting room instantly fell silent
Reporters swarmed around
Jared slowly removed his glasses, stood up, and began, “Recently, there have been a lot of rumors about me and Agnes…”
The meeting room was eerily quiet, with only the sound of camera shutters.
At this time, a lot of people were already pouring in through the door.
Some young female secretaries led by Yolanda, and even Mamie’s fans who had caused trouble earlier, managed to sneak in through some means, holding signs that read “Agnes, leave the entertainment industry“.
Everyone saw this scene.
Jared’s voice was clear, with each word entering everyone’s ears, “Now I will make things clear. Those are not rumors.
This statement plunged the entire meeting room into silence.
Everyone wore a surprised expression.
What did Mr. Whitfield mean?
Are the rumors false? Could they be true?
Agnes was also stunned
Because at this moment, Jared’s gaze was fixed on her face. Agnes felt her heart stop beating for a moment.
A reporter suddenly asked, “Mr. Whitfield, what is your relationship with Agnes? Is she truly your mistress, as the rumors suggest?”
Seeing one reporter ask a question, the others couldn’t help but follow sult, throwing out one prickly question after another.
“Mr. Whitfield, does Mamie know about your relationship?”
“We heard that Agnes knocked on your door in the middle of the night. Is that true?”
“As the lead actress in the new drama The Magical Romance of Cinderella, there have been rumors that Agnes got the role through unfair means. Are you involved?”
One question after another was hurled out.
Jared coldly said, “Enough“”
The venue once again fell into silence
