Heartstrings on Fire (Agnes and Jared)

Chapter 279

Agnes played the victim, “Why don’t you believe in me?”

Justin sighed seriously, “Mamie’s been in this industry for ten years. She may be a bit headstrong and

arrogant, but she’s well-respected, and her acting skills are top-notch. She’s buddies with the judges of

SH Gala. The gala is organized by Universal International Entertainment, and their CEO is one of

Mamie’s suitors. She’s got talent and luck, how could you possibly beat her?”

Agnes didn’t seem to care, “Alright, Justin, enough said. If I really lose, then I’ll just quit acting. It’s not a

big deal to me.”

Justin didn’t know what to say to this stubborn girl in front of him.

She gained huge success as soon as she debuted. Just with a TV series, she was nominated for best

actress. This was a dream for many, but she didn’t give a

damn.

Then, Agnes thought of something, “Do you know what’s going on inside Starlight International

Group?”

Justin was a key member of Starlight International Group. In order to keep him, Preston had given him

some shares, making Justin one of the shareholders.

Upon hearing this, Justin frowned, “I only know that almost all the big names that Starlight International

Group relies on have left.

“Why is that?”

Justin got serious, “In fact, your Dad has been less involved in the company in recent years, and your

stepmother is basically in charge. She’s not a businessperson and she’s domineering and harsh. Im

not surprised that Starlight International Group has become like this.”

Agnes felt heavy-hearted.

She knew what Justin was talking about, but after ten years, Laura was still the person her father

trusted the most. So, there were many things that Agnes couldn’t say in front of Preston.

Justin seemed to have thought of something suddenly, “But Agnes, there’s something you need to pay

special attention to.” NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.

“What’s that?”

“I once saw your stepmother with…

Justin stopped mid-sentence, “Never mind, I don’t have solid evidence, I better not say it. But you

should keep an eye on your stepmother’s actions and who she’s hanging out with.”

Agnes felt puzzled. What was Justin trying to say?

Just then, Emily came over

“Agnes, Justin, it’s time for you to walk the red carpet.”

Agnes and Justin left the hotel together.

There were dedicated cars downstairs to pick up the guests. It only took three minutes to drive from the

hotel to the venue, but the organizer probably prepared more than a hundred luxury cars to transport

the stars.

Justin helped Agnes into a convertible Ferrari.

Because there were drones filming from the air, the car drove slowly

From the moment they left the hotel, all the footage would be shown on the big screen at the

ceremony.

A few minutes later, they arrived at The Jolsen Auditorium where the ceremony was held.

Outside the auditorium, a 500-meter-long red carpet was laid out, with barriers and security personnel

on both sides.

A large number of journalists were taking photos and filming outside the barrier.

The whole red carpet area was flickering with lights, and the stars were gathered here like a galaxy.
