Chapter 273
Sure, Agnes was a fresh face who rocketed to stardom overnight, but how did she have the guts to say
something like that?
For the past decade, Mamie had been racking up awards left and right, bagged the best actress title
three years in a row, and was universally regarded as the queen of the entertainment industry.
Agnes throwing down this gauntlet was just asking for trouble.
A smirk crossed Mamie’s face.
“Agnes, are you sure you want to gamble with me?”
Even Ivan seemed caught off guard: “Agnes, don’t be rash.”
But Agnes brushed him off, saying firmly, “I want to bet with you. But if both of us lose, we wipe the
slate clean, and you stop hassling me”
Mamie gave a cold and arrogant laugh, “If I don’t win, Ill retire and leave the entertainment industry for
good.”
With that, Mamie tumed on her heel and left.
The onlookers all felt a pang of regret. These two were just too impulsive. They were basically
gambling with their futures.
And anyone could see that Agnes was digging her own grave
In the CEO’s office.
Ivan said, “Why did you have to be so impulsive? I could have helped you deal with the issue between This text is © NôvelDrama/.Org.
you and Mamie.”
Agnes chuckled, “You know as well as I do, I never planned on sticking around in the entertainment
industry. If I can make a splash on my way out, it’s not a bad deal for me.”
Ivan was silent for a while, then sighed, “I know you’re not in it. Alright, you can go now
After finishing her work, Agnes didn’t head home, but went to Tim Tower instead.
With the Yolanda Bowman incident still fresh in everyone’s mind, everyone in the secretarial
department was polite to her as she passed through.
But there were odd looks in people’s eyes. Agnes figured it was because of the recent news, so she
didn’t think much of it.
Mia Taylor was surprised to see Agnes, “Agnes, was that really your sister who just came in? She was
way over the top.”
Agnes was taken aback “Who?”
Mia was surprised: “You don’t know? Half an hour ago, a girl named Beatrice Pritchard barged in,
claiming she was the CEO’s wife’s sister and demanded to see the CEO. We told her to wait, but she
made a fuss, saying we were brushing her off. She made a scene in the secretarial department for two
hours and even had us pour her tea. I wasn’t sure of her identity, so I let her have her way till the CEO
finished his meeting”
Beatrice was here? Agnes frowned.
She headed to the CEO’s office, not bothering to knock, just pushed the door open.
Jared was writing something, then tore off a piece of paper and handed it to Beatrice.
Beatrice took the paper, thrilled: “Jared, you’re so generous! Our whole family is so grateful. Agnes is
so lucky to have married you.”
Jared’s voice was cold: “If there’s nothing else, you can leave now.”
Beatrice’s voice became even more coquettish: “Jared, I waited two hours for you in the secretarial
department, and now you’re in such a hurry to get rid of me? i haven’t eaten yet today, I’m starving.
Can you take me out for a meal?”
