Heartstrings on Fire Novel Full Episode
Chapter 341-350

Chapter 341

Agnes just happened to be leaving the Century Building.

Beatrice was waiting at the entrance, arguing with a few security guards.

They wouldn’t let her in, but Beatrice insisted

Seeing Agnes, Beatrice got even more pissed off and charged over

She dropped her script and started interrogating.

Agnes picked up the script, “Beatrice, what the hell is wrong with you?”

“You’re asking what’s wrong? Agnes, am you deliberately trying to humiliate me? It’s one thing you didn’t give me a role, but now you promised me one, and what

kind of role is this?”

Agnes looked at the folder, indeed it was a script, but only one page

Beatrice’s role was a customer service rep, and she only had one line: “Welcome”

Jared was such a jerk.

He said he’d give Beatrice a line, and he literally gave her just one.

Such a minor role, and he even went through the trouble of sending her the script.

For Beatrice, it was a total insult

But Agnes just shrugged, “Didn’t you say you’d be willing to play a regular role? Didn’t you just say that?” Beatrice was livid, “So you used this to screw with me, to insult me, Agnes, your tactics are so low.

Agnes remained calm, “You begged Jared for this role, now that he gave it to you, you’re not happy. You need to take it up with him. What do you want from me? From the get-go, I never promised you anything. What does your lack of a good role have to do with me?”

Hearing this, Beatrice was even more furious.

Jared had clearly agreed.

Back then, he must have genuinely wanted to help her, it must be Agnes who messed up and came up with such a crap role to appease her.

Shed rather have no role than this

But Beatrice knew she had to keep her cool.

If Laura found out she went after Agnes because of this, she’d definitely criticize her for being hotheaded.

She had other reasons for wanting to be in this play, but Beatrice just couldn’t help being angry.

Beatrice gritted her teeth and said, “Don’t you worry, Agnes, even if it’s just one line, fl nail it. You just wait and see. You can try to stop me all you want, but one day you’ll pay”

With that, Beatrice stormed off in a huff.

Agnes was just left there, everything happened so fast.

Shooting starts tomorrow.

There’s a get-together tonight. Agnes, Mamie and the rest of the main cast were meeting the director and the producer for a meal.

The producer of this film was Farrell, the CEO of Universal International Entertainment

The film is specially tailored for Mamie. Her last movie got her an Oscar nomination, but she didn’t win.

Word is this film is a big budget global production, recruiting top Hollywood teams and renowned domestic directors, all for Mamie to take another shot at the Oscar

Farrell was going all out with his investment because he’s been chasing after Mamie.

Agnes went with Ivan

Apparently, Mamie and Farrell had gone out to play golf this afternoon.

Ivan didn’t look too good.

Others might not know, but Agnes knew why Ivan was down

But the atmosphere in the car was too stifling

Agnes couldn’t help but say, “They just played a round of golf, it’s normal between friends. Besides, if Mamie really liked Farrell, she would’ve accepted his advances a long time ago. Why would he still be chasing her after five years without success?”

Chapter 342

Ivan didn’t hide his emotions in front of Agnes. After all, she was the only one who knew his true feelings for Mamie.

“Things are different now, Mamie’s single, and that guy is like a weasel sneaking in, his specialty is to cling on like a leech.”

He seemed a bit pissed off after saying this.

Agnes had never seen Ivan so jealous before.

Guess all guys look the same when they’re green with envy, acting like petulant kids

Agnes couldn’t help but chuckle. She decided to poke him, “That might be a bit risky, after all, girls can be easily touched by a guy who gives his all. And for women, being touched and falling in love are like ice and water, once the ice melts, it becomes water.”

Hearing this, Ivan’s face darkened even more.

Dinner was at a five star hotel, filled with an antique aura, every brick and tile was a relic.

After parking the car, a doorman took over.

Stepping in felt like walking onto a movie set.

The private rooms here were named after the dwellings of ancient kings and queens.

When they entered, Hamish and several producers and editors were already there.

Also chatting were Farrell and Mamie

Farrell sat next to Mamie, performing a magic trick he just learned.

He covered his hand with a napkin, had Mamie blow on it, and when he removed it, there was a rose.

Then Farrell handed the rose to Mamie, saying in broken English, “Mamie, this rose is shy in front of you because you’re more beautiful that it.”

Mamie burst into laughter, “Farrell, your English has improved a lot.”

Agnes almost forgot

Farrell was of Korean nationality, he was mixed race, but mainly lived in Korea.

The most renowned Korean agencies were under Universal International Entertainment.

He was handsome, no less than the stars in the entertainment industry.

So whether it’s here or in Korea, he was quite popular and well-loved.

“Child’s play.” Ivan suddenly whispered next to Agnes.

Agnes almost burst out laughing.

Ivan walked over with Agnes, introducing everyone in turn.

Agnes stood next to Ivan, politely greeting everyone.

When introducing Farrell, Ivan paused and said, “This is the president of Universal International Entertainment, Farrell, his English is ‘great, I’m sure he’ll take good care of us in the future.”

Ivan changed his tone when he said “great”.

Hearing Ivan’s words, Farrell responded with a big smile, “Ivan, I’m really happy that you’re praising me”

Everyone suddenly burst into laughter, even Mamie couldn’t help but laugh.

She grabbed Farrell’s arm and said, “He’s teasing you, didn’t you notice the change in his tone when he said ‘great?”

Farrell still looked puzzled, “Huh? Isn’t Ivan complimenting my English?”

Then, he suddenly turned to Ivan, “Ivan, that’s not cool, why are you teasing me? You know I’m mixed race, but I’ve always lived in Korea, that’s why my English isn’t that good”

Chapter 343

Ivan chuckled like a mischievous kid, “Haha, I was just kidding to see how good your English is. In fact, you speak English very well.”

Hamish jumped in to explain, “Actually, Mr. Bartley here is hinting that you should win the girl’s heart ASAP”

Farrell was thrilled to hear this.

He walked over to Ivan, gave him a light pat on the shoulder, “I’ll do my best to win Mamie’s heart soon.”

Ivan’s face darkened immediately, and Agnes finally got the meaning of you reap what you sow.

The dinner went smoothly, with everyone in high spirits.

Even though Hamish was rumored to be a strict person, he was actually quite fun and humorous in private.

He often cracked jokes, keeping everyone in stitches.

When it came to movies, he could talk on and on, without a pause.

Suddenly, the door to the private room swung open, revealing two familiar figures.

Agnes looked surprised seeing Laura and Beatrice walking in.

Laura, holding a glass of wine, strode in, Theard you’re here, Hamish. I had to come and toast you, after all, you directed my first film.”

Hamish was equally pleased to see Laura, “Long time no see, Laura! Your departure from the acting scene was a big loss for us. Come on, let’s drink up.” Agnes was surprised to find that Laura and Hamish were close

After finishing her drink, Laura said, “I overheard in the hallway that you are here. My daughter, Agnes, is going to star in your new movie. Hamish, you must take good care of her”

Laura was active in the industry and had connections with all the directors and producers

Over the years, she had been handling most of the affairs of the Starlight International Group. Everyone respected her and knew about the Pritchard family’s

situation.

Laura was Agnes’s stepmother.

Hamish responded, “I like Agnes. I’ve watched her TV dramas. She’s a promising newcomer. Leave her to me, and you can rest easy”

Laura poured another drink and toasted Hamish.

At this point, she gave Beatrice a signal.

Beatrice stepped forward promptly, “Hamish, I’m Beatrice, and you’re my idol, Im so happy to meet you today. Let me toast you too.”

Beatrice had just graduated from high school and was studying at an acting school.

She was not famous in the industry, and Hamish didn’t know who she was

Laura introduced her, “This is my daughter Beatrice. She’s studying acting at a film school. You’ve always been her idol. She was thrilled to know you’re here today. She admires you so much.”

Hamish, already a bit tipsy, was flattered by Laura’s praise and was in high spirits.

He turned to look at Beatrice, “Future star, eh? The entertainment industry will be yours, the Pritchards, soon,”

“You’re giving her too much credit,” Laura chuckled, “Hamish, there’s something I’m a bit embarrassed to say. My little girl loves acting, especially seeing her sister Agnes in your drama, she’s green with envy. She also wants to play a small role in your drama. Could you consider giving her a chance to hone her acting skills?” Hamish frowned slightly.

Everyone present understood that Laura’s real purpose today was not to drink.

She was here to get a role for her biological daughter.

Chapter 344

Before Hamish could say anything, Laura continued, “If you find it troublesome, then forget it. After all, I just think you have a high status in the film industry. If this kid can get some guidance from you, she’ll surely benefit for life”

Hamish furrowed his brow, speaking with earnestness, “Laura, we’ve been old friends, so for your sake, I’ll take her under my wing. There’s actually a supporting role for a female character yet to be cast, but it also depends on this kid’s talent and dedication”

Laura was delighted upon hearing this, “Beatrice, come on, thank Hamish”

Beatrice was also thrilled and raised her glass for a toast.

Laura smiled, saying, “Both of my daughters am now under your care.”

Agnes’s expression remained unchanged throughout, and she seemed quite composed.

It was understandable for Laura to help Beatrice secure a role

Laura and Beatrice took their seats at the table together.

After dinner, as they were leaving. Laura approached Agnes and said, “Agnes, why don’t you stay over at home tonight? It’s perfect because tomorrow you’ll join the filming team with Beatrice. If you both go together, you’ll have each other’s support, and I’ll be more at ease too.”

The movie “Nebula Dreams” had dozens of scenes in total, but most of them were set in the bustling city of S City. Tomorrow, they would head there to join the filming team.

Agnes didn’t want to go back, but outright refusing might offend her stepmother

In fact, many people outside were curious about Agnes’s position in the Pritchard family and her relationship with Laura.

At that moment, Jared unexpectedly showed up.

Jared said, “Agnes won’t be going back tonight. She starts filming tomorrow, as you know, Ms. Laura. I can’t bear to be separated from Agnes.”

Jared’s direct words caused a few people to chuckle, but his use of “Ms. Laura” also made everyone understand a few things.

Today, Laura came to fight for a role for her daughter, using her relationship with Hamish on the surface, but in reality, it was also because Agnes had an important role in this movie, and Hamish was giving face to Agnes.

Laura always referred to Agnes as her daughter in front of others, claiming their relationship was like biological mother and daughter

Jared’s use of “Ms. Laura” exposed the true nature of their relationship, and it was likely that he called her that following Agnes’s lead.

Laura had been part of the Pritchard family for ten years, yet Agnes had never addressed her as “Mom” to this day.

This inevitably made people think their relationship wasn’t good, and the affection Laura displayed at the dinner table was merely a one-sided act.

Laura’s smile seemed a bit forced, but she still said with a smile, “Young people are full of energy. Well then, we’ll be leaving now.”

Beatrice glared angrily at Agnes and then left.

After getting in the car, Agnes curiously asked, “Why did you suddenly come here?”

Agnes hadn’t told Jared about the dinner tonight, so how did he know she was here?

Jared looked a little disappointed. “I won’t be able to see my lovely wife tomorrow, so I naturally wanted to look at you a bit more tonight.”

Agnes’s heart was filled with sweetness, “The crew will have breaks, so don’t worry, I’ll come back to see you whenever I have time.”

1 may have been waiting too long for your vacation.”

Agnes helplessly said, “There’s nothing I can do about it. You need to work, and so do). Just endure it for a while.”

Jared raised an eyebrow, “No problem, I’ll come see you when I’m available”

Chapter 345

Agnes didn’t take it too seriously.

He was so busy, so he didn’t have time to trek all the way to S City, a thousand kilometers away, just to see her.

She was flying to S City the next day, and her flight was at nine.

When Agnes woke up, it was already eight. She might not make it

And Jared was still snoozing

They had both been dog-tired the previous night, so they were out like a light.

Maybe it was because they were about to part ways.

But now there was no time.

Agnes hastily woke Jared up. “You gotta drive me to the airport, it’s a race against the clock, I still gotta go through security.”

Agnes quickly got out of bed, but before she could steady herself, Jared caught her

And there she was, pinned under Jared again.

The sleepiness gradually faded from his eyes, replaced by a spark of something else.

He didn’t say a word, just started kissing her neck, his hand roaming all over her

Agnes was freaking out, “Jared, knock it off, I’m gonna miss my flight”

“No way, no way, move aside.”

But her resistance was futile, and by the time she came to her senses, another hour had passed

Agnes stared helplessly at the ceiling, completely exhausted, while the man next to her rolled out of bed, satisfied.

Seeing him in such a good mood that he was even humming a tune, Agnes was fuming.

She got up and gave Jared a pinch on the arm, “It’s all your fault, what do we do now, I’m gonna miss my flight.”

But Jared just cheerfully said, “Well, I’m heading to S City for a business trip these few days, and I happen to have a private jet.”

Agnes’ eyes lit up. “You have a private jet? Why didn’t I know?”

“Agnes, you know so little about your husband’s assets. I’ll have Nancy draw up a list of my properties for you tomorrow.”

Agnes laughed, “Is that necessary? Isn’t this a good thing? Don’t you rich guys worry about marrying gold-diggers?”

“Agnes, you’re mistaken. The moment we got married, those assets weren’t just mine anymore, they were ours. If you don’t know about them, it means you don’t care about me, so you need to get acquainted”

Agnes was speechless

Jared’s way of thinking seemed a bit off the wall, but having a private jet to ride in was just too comfy

Once they were on the plane, Agnes stretched out on the massage chair, “Did you plan this all along, is that why this morning you…”

She broke off, blushing

“What?”

Jared, who was buried in a pile of paperwork, suddenly looked up, a teasing smile on his face, “Of course I planned it. That’s why I was so reckless.”

Agnes huffed, “Can you tell me in advance next time you decide to be reckless? I get nervous easily”

I’m giving you a heads up now” Jared put down his paperwork and walked over to Agnes,

Agnes had a bad feeling about this, “What are you up to?”

Jared was already taking off his clothes, “Didn’t you say I need to give you a heads up if I want to be reckless?”

Agnes couldn’t fathom how this man could have so much energy when she was utterly drained.

She took the initiative to tackle Jared, “No, stay cool.”

Agnes even used some wrestling moves.

Jared laughed, “Are you scared of me?”

Agnes blushed, “Who’s scared of you? I just don’t want you to disrupt my work”

Jared held Agnes tight, “Alright, I’ll stop teasing you. I can’t bear to see you so worn out.”

They laid there comfortably, chatting

“What brings you to S City this time?”

Agnes didn’t know much about Jared’s work, nor did she ask much about it.

Chapter 346

Jared started, “It’s not exactly business. Alyssa is planning to start her own clothing brand in S City, so I bought an old brand for her as a foundation. She doesn’t know jack about business operations, so I gotta help her out here for now”

Agnes was shocked, “Alyssa’s coming to S City too?”

Jared answered, “She’ll be here in a couple of days.”

Agnes pondered over it. She remembered the last thing Alyssa said to Jared, which made her feel a bit down.

She knew how important Alyssa was to Jared

If Alyssa really didn’t like her, Jared would be caught between a rock and a hand place.

Agnes initially planned to ask Alyssa more about her mother’s past, but now she didn’t dare to bring it up.

“Silly girl, what are you thinking, so lost in thought?” Agnes snapped back and gave Jared a smile. “Nothing much, by the way, where are you staying after you arrive in S City?”

Jared laughed and said, “What, do you want to live with me?” Agnes retorted, “I wish I could live as far away from you as possible.” This was her true feelings.

If she and Jared stayed in the same hotel, would she have time to go over her scripts at night?

Jared seemed a bit miffed, “Agnes, I feel you’ve been giving me the cold shoulder recently.”

Agnes was taken aback, “No, I haven’t”

Jared said, “You’ve got so many fans now, and you’re not as sweet to me as before

Agnes was bewildered, “No, I haven’t, seriously.”

Jared suggested, “Then move in with me at the Grandeur Mirage Manor

Although Agnes never lived in S City, she knew that “Grandeur Mirage Manor was the most luxurious villa community in the city center.

She didn’t expect Jared to have a place there.

Agnes responded, “No way, I must stay in the hotel arranged by the crew, otherwise people will say I’m putting on airs

Jared gave her a sour look

Agnes tried to pacify him, “How about this, if I finish work early, or on a day off, I’ll definitely come visit you, okay?”

Finally, Jared reluctantly agreed.

At noon, they arrived in S City

S City is a global financial metropolis.

The land value here is sky-high, and the housing prices are through the roof.

Many people work their whole lives, and can’t even afford a small house outside the outer ring of S City

Agnes thought about Jared’s villa in Grandeur Mirage Manor.

She started thinking, the most unfair thing in the world might be that what you pursue your whole life is some people are born with.

In the afternoon, Agnes joined the crew and attended the opening ceremony.

The crew also arranged for a hotel.

Their main filming location in the near future was S City TV station, and the hotel was the nearby Celestial Skyline Hotel.

After a busy day, Agnes checked into the hotel.

Mamie also came along, always with a bodyguard

This was mainly because she had too many fans and a crazy fan incident had happened before

Concerned, Ivan assigned two more bodyguards.

Mamie was quite annoyed by this.

While they were checking in, Beatrice also happened to arrive.

In fact, only the main cast of the film were arranged to stay at the Celestial Skyline Hotel, while the rest of the cast were arranged to stay in the crew’s dormitory

Of course, Beatrice was one of them.

But she didn’t stay in the crew’s dormitory, but moved her luggage to the Celestial Skyline Hotel by herself.

When she saw Agnes and Mamie, Beatrice walked over with a smile, “Mamie, what a coincidence, I didn’t expect you to stay here too.”

Mamie glanced at her through her sunglasses, “And you are?”

Chapter 347

“Tm Beatrice. I’m actually in the movie the Magical Romance of Cinderella, and we met a couple of nights ago at the hotel.” Mamie said, “Sorry, I can’t remember.” Mamie had already checked into the hotel.

Mamie took her room key and said to Agnes, Tm heading upstairs now. Come by my room later. Tonight, you’ll join me and some influential people from the industry for dinner. It’ll be beneficial for your future connections”

Agnes nodded in agreement, and Mamie left directly

Beatrice couldn’t believe her eyes as she witnessed this scene. She knew that Mamie and Agnes had collaborated in an act during the SH Gala, but she always thought it was just a reluctant cooperation between the two. After all, Mamie’s involvement in “The Magical Romance of Cinderella” had made Agnes’ situation

quite miserable.

When did their relationship become so good? Wasn’t Mamie interested in Jared? Wasn’t she Jared’s ex-girlfriend? Given her high status, how could she spare Agnes?

Beatrice couldn’t comprehend it at all.

Agnes paid no attention to Beatrice and simply waited for the hotel staff to handle the check-in procedure.

But Beatrice approached Agnes, feeling triumphant. “Didn’t I disappoint you, Agnes? You must be seething inside right now.”

Agnes couldn’t be bothered. She frowned and said, “Beatrice, if you have delusions, go see a doctor. I’ve said it before, your role has nothing to do with me, and I don’t care if you’re playing the lead or some minor role. Your affairs are none of my concern, so please stop bothering me from now on.”

The hotel staff respectfully handed the room key to Agnes, but Beatrice snatched it away and threw it on the ground. “Agnes, I know you’re furious. Don’t pretend You wanted to block my path in the entertainment industry, but let me tell you, I won’t let you succeed. One day, I’ll have more fans and be more famous than you. Your jealousy won’t do you any good. It’s all because I have a good mom, while your mom is nothing but a dishonest fraud.”

Agnes’ face darkened instantly. “Beatrice, if you say that about my mom again, you’ll regret it.”

“I told you, Agnes, your birth mother is nothing but a scammer, a big fraud!”

As soon as Beatrice finished that sentence, Agnes stepped forward and pinched Beatrice’s chin with force.

Beatrice’s jaw dislocated, and she couldn’t close her mouth, leaving it wide open.

Beatrice had no idea what just happened, but she knew she suddenly couldn’t speak, couldn’t close her mouth, and felt intense pain in her jaw.

you bi bitch…

She couldn’t even clearly utter the profanity, and saliva involuntarily dripped from her mouth.

However, Beatrice was filled with fear at that moment, not knowing what Agnes had done to her.

Just then, a group of reporters barged in.

Even though security guards were trying to stop them, they still took photos chaotically, pointing their cameras inside.

Beatrice was very angry.

Chapter 348

If she was photographed like this, her image would be ruined.

She grabbed Agnes’ arm, babbling. “Agnes, I messed up”

Agnes didn’t give her the time of day. She picked up her room key, grabbed her luggage, and headed upstairs.

Beatrice could only put on a face mask and head to the hospital

As she passed a bunch of paparazzi, she was scared to death of being photographed, but she didn’t expect those reporters to not even bat an eye at her

They were all snapping away at Agnes figure, which only made Beatrice even more ticked off.

Agnes was feeling down in the dumps. Indeed, Beatrice’s words had really ticked her off.

Beatrice was always spouting off hurtful things, but Agnes never held a grudge.

But when Beatrice brought up her mom, Agnes couldn’t hold back anymore.

Up until now, Agnes still couldn’t come to terms with what her mom did back in the day. Those old news stories seemed to scream out the harsh reality. Whenever Agnes thought of this, it felt like a punch to the gut

Agnes headed back to her room, and after a bit, she heard a knock on the door.

Agnes opened the door to see Mamie standing there.

Agnes called out, “Mamie.”

Mamie walked in, seeing Agnes low spirits, “What’s up with you?”

There were so many annoying things, and Agnes didn’t know where to start.

Mamie didn’t pry. She just helped Agnes pick out some clothes, “Come on, let’s go out and blow off some steam. I’ve got some friends coming over tonight, let’s go together.”

Agnes wasn’t in the mood, “I’ll pass. I start filming tomorrow. I’ll stay at the hotel and read the script.”

With you feeling this down, I doubt you’ll be able to concentrate on the script. Come on, there’ll be some familiar faces. It might do you some good to get out

Mamie was pretty persuasive, and in the end, Agnes followed her out.

They snuck out, Mamie didn’t even bring any bodyguards.

Agnes didn’t have a clue where Mamie was leading her, turns out they ended up at some hidden bar.

This bar was tucked away in a small alley. You wouldn’t know it was there unless you were a regular

But the inside of the bar was spacious and luxurious, with waitstaff bustling around

There was even a band performing on stage, pretty popular online with a lot of fans.

Agnes followed Mamie into a VIP room, which was quite large and filled with people

Some were singing, some were playing cards, it was quite lively.

When Agnes and Mamie appeared at the doorway, everyone was shocked.

Everyone knew about Mamie and Jared, and the young woman before them was Jared’s wife

Their joint appearance was quite a shocker

Could it be that Mamie had brought this young woman here for them to mess with?

There were indeed some familiar faces in the room, like Shawn, whom Agnes had met at Brayden Simonds’ birthday party.

Shawn’s hometown was in S City. Shawn couldn’t believe it when he saw these two.

Today’s plan was just to welcome Mamie, so why did Mamie bring this young woman along?

The last time at Brayden’s birthday, these two women had caused quite a scene, almost scared the living daylights out of everyone.

What on earth was happening today?

What shocked Shawn even more was Mamie actually holding Agnes’ hand as they walked in.

She even introduced Agnes to all her other friends, who were all bigwigs in the industry like screenwriters and authors.

These were all the connections Mamie had accumulated over the years, so why was she introducing this young woman?

Chapter 349

When Shawn was introduced, Mamie nonchalantly said, “This is the rich playboy you’ve met before.” Shawn snapped back, “Everyone has their own image. Why do I get pegged as just a rich playboy?”

Mamie sternly wamed Agnes, “Mark his face well. You can befriend anyone, but steer clear of him, He’s known as S City’s most infamous ladies’ man. He flits from one woman to another, almost like a prized stallion. Keep your distance.”

“Mamie,” Shawn interjected, sounding exasperated, “Why are you painting me in such a bad light? Even if you hadn’t warned her, I wouldn’t dare pursue Jared’s woman. Give me some respect here”

After Shawn finished speaking, he wanted to slap himself twice.

Why did he have to blurt out “Jared’s woman”?

Would Mamie be angry?

He was really confused by the situation.

What was Mamie’s purpose in bringing this actress today?

Everyone present seemed aware of the situation and shared Shawn’s confusion. So, when Shawn voiced his thoughts, many felt anxious on his behalf. Yet, Mamie remained stoic, showing no reaction.

Mamie shot Shawn a dismissive glance, stating, “It’s good you understand. If you step out of line, Jared won’t hesitate to handle you”

Later that evening, while the group enjoyed drinks and conversation, Agnes abstained from alcohol, choosing instead to sip on a glass of juice.

Shawn spent the entire evening observing Mamie and Agnes closely.

Their relationship really seemed to have been mended.

It didn’t look fake, there wasn’t even a hint of conflict

But everyone knew how hung up Mamie was on Jared.

Back then, she even drank several bottles of hard liquor but still refused to give up.

So, what was the situation now?

Jared was really amazing.

He could actually make these two women live in peace, which made Shawn admire him greatly.

Driven by curiosity, Shawn sat next to Agnes, “Agnes, why are you sitting here alone, Aren’t you bored?”

Agnes glanced at Shawn, “I don’t know how to play.”

“If you don’t, I can teach you.”

Saying that, Shawn picked up a deck of playing cards, shuffled them, and happily began dealing.

But Agnes was still not interested.

Shawn, feeling awkward, suddenly asked, “Agnes, tell me the truth, have you and Jared divorced?”

That was the only possibility Shawn could think of

Agnes frowned at the gossipy Shawn, Til tell him tonight that you asked me this question.”

“No, Agnes, Jared will think I hope you two divorce. He definitely won’t let me off the hook. I hope you two can be happy and have a child soon.”

Agnes ignored him.

Rejected, Shawn could only quietly walk away with his cards

He still couldn’t figure out Mamie’s intent.

But based on his understanding of Mamie, she might be planning a big move.

He knew that Mamie was a notoriously strong-willed and capricious person, she could definitely accomplish anything.

Now she had brought Agnes to the bar

Could it be…..

A series of dramatic revenge scenarios floated through Shawn’s mind,

Therefore, he went outside the bar alone, quietly picked up his phone, and dialed Jared’s number…

Chapter 350

When Jared picked up the phone, Shawn hastily updated him on the situation in the private room.

Finally, he said: “Jared, get your ass over here before Mamie starts throwing a fit. Don’t worry, I’ll make sure no one gets near her until you arrive”

After hearing everything, Jared responded with surprising calmness, “Just keep your distance from her. That’s all task.” He then ended the call.

Shawn felt wronged. Today, both Mamie and Jared seemed off Jared was always so protective of Mamie. Why didn’t he seem concerned about her potentially being mistreated today?

As Shawn re-entered the private room, he noticed some people pressuring Agnes to drink. Unexpectedly, Mamie intervened to prevent them. Shawn blinked in disbelief, questioning if he was hallucinating. But as the evening progressed, none of the troubles he’d anticipated materialized, Ultimately, Mamie and Agnes departed together.

At their hotel. Mamie reminded Agnes, “Rest up, we have work tomorrow.”

Agnes replied with a nod, “You too. Mamie”

She felt a deep sense of gratitude for Mamie, who genuinely considered her a friend. That night, Mamie introduced Agnes to her friends without any reservations. It struck Agnes as strange, just months earlier, they were at odds. Yet now, they stood as friends. Upon getting to know Mamie better, Agnes malized she wasn’t as haughty or overbeanng as she’d initially thought.

She was straightforward, strong most of the time, but sometimes, she acted like a little girl.

That’s why her friends all liked her.

Agnes, who was initially down, felt much better after hanging out with Mamie

Agnes returned to her room.

Upon opening the door, something felt off

Agnes was staying in a suite. Why were the lights in the living room on?

She found it strange, but walked in anyway.

When she opened the door to her bedroom, she was shocked.

Sitting on the bed, in his pajamas, with a laptop in his hand, that man was clearly Jared.

Upon hearing the noise at the door, Jared looked up and asked nonchalantly “Back already? Did you have fun at the bar?”

Agnes’s eyes widened in surprise. However, the sight of Jared evoked a mix of shock and exhilaration within her

She rushed over, a flurry of questions spilling out, “What brings you here? Don’t you reside at the Grandeur Mirage Manor? How did you enter without a key card? And how did you know I was in the bar?”

Her excitement palpable, she continued her rapid-fire questioning

Jared shut his laptop and responded calmly, “Aren’t you aware that the Celestial Skyline Hotel is a part of the Tim Group, and I run the show here? I have the liberty to pick any room I desire. And really, I’m just sharing a room with my wife, nothing more. You dashed off to the bar barely half a day after I was gone. How could I not be concerned? So, I’ve decided to stay with you from now on.”

Agnes was shocked: “You’re moving in with me?”

“Why, you don’t want me to?”

“No, I just want to know…”

Why would he want to share a hotel room with her when he had his own villa?

“You can choose. Either I move in here, or you move to my villa. It’s up to you.”
