Heartstrings on Fire (Agnes and Jared)

Chapter 284

The award ceremony was tedious and drawn out, so it’s no surprise that some celebs chose to duck

out early. Especially those who don’t have any nominations or works on show, and were just here to

strut their stuff on the red carpet.

But Mamie and Agnes, they’re both up for Best Actress. Their sudden disappearance was, well,

puzzling.

Their dates, Justin and Mr. Whitfield, were still in their seats,

Jared seemed pretty chill, while Justin was constantly checking his watch.

The Best Actress showdown was set to kick off in twenty minutes

Justin was clearly in a hurry. He leaned over and said a few words to Ivan. Ivan said, “We’ve still got

time. I think they should be back on time.

Meanwhile, up on the sixteenth floor of the banquet hall annex, in an auxiliary lounge, Agnes was

grilling Mamie.

“Why did you come with Jared and I knew nothing about it?”

“Agnes, do I need to report my every move to you?”

“I don’t need to know your whereabouts, but Jared is my husband”

“So, that’s why you deliberately stepped on my dress on the red carpet, to make me look like a fool?”

At this, Agnes’s tone sharpened, “You brought that on yourself. Mamie, you might be a superstar in

everyone else’s eyes, but to me, you’re nothing”

“Agnes, I can’t believe you would stoop this low! And that crazed fan who tried to push me down the

stairs a while back, did you put him up to it?”

Agnes said, “I have no idea what you’re talking about.”

“Agnes, stop pretending. The security in Century Building is tight, not even a fly could get in. I checked

the elevator footage, you went up with that fan. Agnes, were you trying to kill me?”

“Without evidence, how can you accuse me?”

“Agnes, I know what you’ve done. I won’t let you get away with this. You said if you didn’t win Best

Actress, you’d voluntarily quit showbiz.”

Td like to see who’s going to quit, you or me.”

Main hall of the gala.

The Best Actress award was about to be announced.

The nominees include superstar Mamie, rising star Agnes, seasoned actress Kaley, and sweetheart

Silvia.

Of course, the odds-on favorite was Mamie, who’s been Best Actress for three years running.

The host looked at the empty seats in the front row, and felt a little anxious.

Where did the two of them go?

The winners would be announced soon, and they hadn’t appeared yet. Just when everyone’s was

nervous about the two of them, Mamie and Agnes walked in through a side door, one after the other,

and returned to their seats. C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.

The host breathed a sigh of relief, stepping into the center of the stage and holding an unopened

envelope in hand: “And now, the moment we’ve all been waiting” for! The winner of the 23rd SH Gala

Best Actress is…”

On the big screen behind the host, the images of the four candidates were constantly switching.
