Chapter 255


    Jared didn’t hesitate: “I know what Mamie is like. Although she can be a bit bossy and stubborn at


    times, she wouldn’t do something as low as this.”


    Agnes suddenlyughed.


    Just as she thought, Jared chose to believe Mamie without a second thought.


    She didn’t need to ask any more questions.


    She didn’t have any solid proof that Mamie had set her up.


    But the reason Jared trusted Mamie was because he knew her. He believed she hadn’t stolen the


    ne because “she didn’t have the guts”,


    Agnes took off the ne from around her neck and handed it to Jared “This thing is too precious, I


    can’t ept it.”

    Jared’s face turned cold: “What are you doing? I bought it for you. If I don’t give it to you, who the hell


    should I give it to?”


    “Whoever you want to give it to.”


    Jared looked at Agnes quietly, then said coldly: “Fine.”


    On the way home, they both remained silent.


    Agnes didn’t know what Jared was thinking.


    And she didn’t want to know.


    Jared said he would investigate, so she would wait for his investigation.


    When they got home, Agnes went straight to the guest room.


    In the days that followed, Agnes was swamped with work and had little to rest


    Even though she and Jared lived under the same roof, they hardly saw each other.


    And when they did, they didn’t chat


    On Christmas Day, “The Magical Romance of Cindere”, starring Agnes and Justin, premiered.


    The show’s ratings skyrocketed on the first day, reaching the highest in its time slot.


    The unique magical themebined with a young idol drama setting and Justin’s poprity


    immediately caused a huge stir


    The next morning. Agnes woke up to find her name all over the news headlines.


    This was what they called instant fame.


    The poprity of “The Magical Romance of Cindere” severely disrupted Agnes’ life


    Every time she went to school, she was mobbed by fans.


    Even in the quietest library, crowds of people nearly caused chaos just to catch a glimpse of her.


    Adding to the fact that she would run into reporters everywhere, Agnes could hardly go to school


    anymore.


    Luckily, all her sses had ended and she only needed to finish writing her thesis


    Agnes had no choice but to take a two-month leave of absence, in the hope that her life would return to


    normal once the buzz around the show had died down.


    During those days, she was constantly busy with press conferences,mercial events, and


    interviews.


    Sometimes, Agnes didn’t go home for a week, staying in an apartment arranged by thepany.


    Jared called her every day, but they only talked briefly


    At some point, Agnes felt a rift growing between them,


    This rift had always been there, but they had chosen to ignore it in the past.


    This nft was caused by their hasty marriage…


    Looking back, the realized the hadn’t even known this man for a full year.


    After attending a grand opening ceremony, Agnes returned to Century Building.


    Ivan, who also attended the event, was the owner of Century Building and Agnes’ temporary agent,


    with all her work arrangements made by him.


    By the time she got back, Agnes waspletely worn out. In the dressing room, she quietly removed


    her makeup alone.


    Ivan walked in, holding a paper bag “I noticed you didn’t have dinner tonight, so I bought you a burger


    and fries.”


    Agnes was surprised. “You left the car first, just to buy me dinner?”


    Ivan smiled gently I know you’ve been upset recently, but you still need to eat well
