Chapter 269
Agnes asked, “Just to be sure, did you put Kingdom Heart in my bag?”
Mamie snorted, “Are you accusing me or what?”
Agnes retorted, “Why are you so ungrateful? If it wasn’t for me just now, you’d still be being bullied by that woman. You’re always so cocky with me, why did you back down when facing an old woman?”
Mamie shot back. “Mind your own business” Mamie was fearless, but she was scared of that home.
She was afraid of hearing the family curse, afraid of anyone mentioning her parents‘ and Antonia’s deaths
Over the years, she often had nightmares and was afraid of the dark, so she preferred the spotlight on stage.
But Lara would show up every now and then to remind her, to provoke her.
She had been tormenting her since she was a kid.
That fear instilled from childhood still haunted Mamie.
She had tried to fight back, but each attempt only resulted in self–injury and implicated her brother.
Ivan had fallen out with the Bartley family for protecting her. He didn’t want a penny of the Bartley fortune and established Century Entertainment for her.
Mr. Brian cherished his eldest grandson, giving Lara the excuse to badmouth Mamie in front of him.
Even though Mamie was a popular star, the Bartley family had not only wealth, but the ultimate power
If not for Ivan’s protection, she would have sunk into the mire long ago.
Agnes took a deep breath and earnestly said “I swear, I didn’t take the necklace to frame you. I also believe you didn’t take it. From the start, I felt that someone was pulling strings behind the scenes, but I haven’t figured out what their real intent is. If you want to know too, we can team up.”
Mamie looked up and asked, “Why do you suddenly believe me?”
Agnes paused and said, “I’m not believing you, but I believe Jared. If he believes in you, then I trust his judgment.”
Mentioning Jared, Mamie’s eyes dimmed again.
She stared at the girl in front of her.
Agnes was makeup–free, looking as innocent as a high schooler.
But judging by her calm handling of Lara and her agility, Mamie was certain that this girl had an extraordinary endurance and courage that was incomparable
So now, she wasn’t sure if she was acting. What kind of person was she?
Mamie said, “Agnes, you’d better not give me a chance to catch you out.”
When Agnest left the hospital, she felt inexplicably happy.
For some reason, she felt like she had been reunited with Mamie.
As Agnes was about to hail a cab, a group of people suddenly rushed over from not far away. They shouted, “It’s her, Agnes! The homewrecker ruining Mamie’s happiness! She even has the audacity to show up at the hospital where Mamie is staying!”
A group of people holding placards rushed over.
Agnes could clearly see the words on the placards: “Agnes, get out of the entertainment industry!”
Agnes quickly realized that this crowd were probably Mamie’s fans.
