Chapter 266
Agnes was full of doubts. How could it be such a coincidence?
Someone had framed her for stealing a necklace, and it seemed like that incident was being used to stir up trouble.
Agnes could sense that someone was pulling the strings behind the scenes.
The first person that came to mind was Mamie.
But firstly, Jared believed in her. Secondly, even if the necklace incident could be explained as Mamie setting her up, what about the actions of the crazed fans? Could Mamie risk her life just to create a scandal?
Besides, the situation was so dangerous at the time, and the criminal lost his life as a result. It couldn’t have been premeditated.
Agnes was very confused, but she didn’t want to create another disagreement between Jared and Mamie because of this.
Jared must have seen the news too. He was on the phone with his secretary early in the morning.
By the afternoon, the reports about this incident on newspapers and TV had disappeared, but the online discussions were still heated.
Public opinion on social media was very hard to control. The more people tried to suppress a view, the more popular it became.
But Agnes comforted Jared and told him not to pay too much attention to the rumors online.
Before long, the heat of this topic will naturally die down. There were countless news in the entertainment industry every day. Truth or lies, right or wrong. black or white, how many people really cared?
Still, Agnes wanted to confirm some things personally.
That afternoon, Agnes went to the hospital.
Was Mamie faking her illness?
Only when they were alone could she possibly show her true colors.
Agnes went to the VIP ward of the hospital. The whole floor only had her as a patient, and there was a security guard at the entrance of the floor.
The security guard recognized Agnes, knowing that she was the woman who had come to the hospital with Jared yesterday.
Agnes walked past without any problems.
The hallway was carpeted thickly, and Agnes made no noise when she walked on it.
Agnes got to the door of the ward.
She was going to knock, but found that the door was open, and there was more than just Mamie in the room.
Agnes clearly saw that it was a middle–aged woman in her forties or fifties, dressed very fashionably and in designer clothes.
Agnes didn’t know who she was. She remembered Ivan saying that their parents had died in a plane crash a long time ago.
Just then, the harsh voice of the woman came over.
“You’ve disgraced the Bartley family! You’re just an actress, nothing more than a cheap woman who sells herself in front of the camera! Why did we ever adopt you?”
Mamie curled up at the head of the bed, seemingly unable to bear it any longer and ended up saying “When you say things like that, you don’t sound like a rich lady from a respectable family, you sound more like a shrew from the street.”
The elegantly dressed woman was infuriated by her words. She took a step forward and slapped Mamie hard across the face, “You little bitch, you’re getting brazen, even daring to talk back to me! I don’t care if you’re a star out there. In here, you’re just a dog raised by the Bartley family!”
