Chapter 388


    Jared’s voice was chill as ice. Don’t worry your pretty little head about it. She has to pay the piper”


    Agnes really didn’t want to stick her nose in this mess


    Beatrices actions were way out of line, and she couldn’t just sit fight anymore.


    Beatrice was all grown up now and ought to own up to her


    Agnes had tried to stay out of the family drama, but retuming to the fim set, it was dear that news had


    spread like wildfire


    The gossip was relentless. Beatrice had been arrested night afternding back in town, and someone


    had tipped off the authorities. She now faced charges of assault, pressed by Jared. The media reveled


    in the juicy details of Beatrice’s envy towards Agnes, her hiring goons for malevolent deeds, and even


    stories of her misconduct at school


    Almost overnight. Bestrior’s reputation was in ruins. The film school she attended expelled her, and the


    few gigs the had in the pipeline, like small ads and web senes dropped her instantly


    N?velDrama.Org owns all content.


    It was shocking for many to process how a young girl, not even in her twenties, could be so malevolent


    To make matters worse, Jared’s high-profilewyer swiftly secured a three-year sentence for Beatrice


    after just one trial


    Agnes was taken aback by Jared’s ruthlecèness in exposing all the sordid details to the public Beatrice


    had aspired to make a mark in the entertainment industry. but now, her prospects looked bleak. Her


    academic and professional ties were severed


    Throughout the chaos, Laura tried maching out to Agnes multiple times, but she never answered.


    Agnes was engrossed in her work, and not even Preston, her own father made an attempt to contact


    her in the part month.


    Today marked a milestone for Agnes as shepleted all her film scenes. The crew celebrated her


    dedication with a wrap party. As the night drew to a close and farewells were exchanged. Mamie


    presented Agnes with a gift, a beautiful diamond brooch.


    She said. “This was a gift Jared gave me when I won my first award, I’ve been hanging on to it. But


    now I’m giving it back to you, I’ve let go of Jaredpletely, i wish you both well. But Agnes, you’re too


    soft hearted, you were bullied by me befo, how you’re being pushed around by your wicked sister you


    have to face all of this, remember my words, don’t be a pushover, it’s a dog-eat-dog world, especially


    this showbiz, you have to be kind, but also have to have some backbone, or else you’ll get walked all


    over. Of course, I believe Jared will stand up for you, but in the end, you have to fend for yourself in this


    world.”


    Agnes was touched, replying. “Mamie, thank you, I’m sorry too.”


    Agnes had been meaning to apologize to Mamie


    Because before. Beatrice had drugged the food on set, aiming to set her up, but ended up hurting


    Mamie


    It led to her sleeping with Ivan.


    From then on Agnies noticed Mamie and Ivan’s rtionship had changedpletely


    Now they were pretty much secret lovers


    However


    Sometimes Agnes could tell they were both in pain, being bound by morality and social taboos


    They had the title of siblings and could never be open and free like regr lovers.


    Mamie just smiled and said. “You don’t have to feel guilty about this, it’s not your fault. Besides, I


    should thank her for bursting this bubble, otherwise, I might never have taken this step”
