Heartstrings on Fire (Agnes and Jared)

Chapter 288



Chapter 288

Agnes’ voice was eerily calm, almost sincere in a strange way.

“Ivan, it’s just you and me here. I know that the moment you stepped in, all the security cameras

stopped working. There’s no need for you to deny it.”

A silence hung in the air before Ivan responded with a smile, “So you think I’m the one who leaked the

video that tarnished your reputation?” “That’s not a suspicion, it’s a fact.”

Tve always been good to you. Why would you think that?” Ivan’s tone remained smooth and steady.

Their conversation had an eerie calmness, like a casual chit-chat.

Agnes said. “The circuit on the 16th floor is faulty, no guests are allowed in. No one would go to the

16th floor unless they knew we were there.”

“Oh? So you’re implying that I knew you were on the 16th floor and I purposely filmed the video?”

“The lounge we were in was tucked away, in the middle of the floor. This building has dozens of floors,

countless rooms and lounges, it wouldn’t be easy to find us.” “Then why do you suspect it was me?”

“Because the only person who knew where I was, was Justin. I intentionally let Justin tell you?

Ivan frowned, “So you knew I was coming?”

“Yes, I knew you’d come. I even intentionally said those things to Mamie. I knew you’d definitely record

it and then blow it up.”

A look of confusion swept across Ivan’s face.

He chuckled, “Well, I’m puzzled. If you had suspicions about me, why would you deliberately say things

that mislead the public? The crazy fan incident had nothing to do with you. Why would you take the

blame for a premeditated murder?”

Ivan looked at Agnes, a peculiar light in his eyes, more like admiration, “Agnes, can you tell me what

you’re doing?”

Agnes also laughed, “I did this just to bait you.”

“Bait me?” Ivan smirked, “But why would you do that? How did you know I’d reveal the video at the

ceremony?”

“Because it was the perfect time to take me down. I’d just won best actress, I was at the peak of glory.

Releasing the video at that moment would send me straight to hell”

Thave no reason to do that.”

“You do. You did it for Mamie.” Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

The atmosphere suddenly grew tense.

Agnes continued, “Was it you who planted Kingdom Heart’ in my bag to frame me? You probably did it

to ruin my reputation. I don’t think you’d arrange for a crazy fan to threaten Mamie, but once that

happened, you manipulated public opinion, painting me as a home wrecker. Moreover, you intentionally

gave Mamie’s endorsement to me, creating more conflicts between us. Today, if I didn’t win the best

actress, you probably wouldn’t be in such a rush. But because I forced Mamie out of the entertainment

industry, you had no choice but to take me down now.”
