Chapter 472


    Agnes announced to the press, obviously burning her bridges. Once the media reports, there’s no


    turning back. Agnes seemed a bit dazed, finally saying to the journalists, “I’m just afraid I’ll regret


    it.”


    The media went wild with the news of Agnes and Jared’s divorce. Their high–society love story had


    ended in ruins, leading many to im they no longer believed in love. But a lot of women were


    thrilled, thinking the position of Mrs. Whitfield was finally up for grabs. Jared, though, hadn’t said a


    peep, but he did throw his phone when he saw the news. That tidbit had made the rounds over at the


    Tim Group.


    After holing up at home for two days, Agnes emerged on the third day to visit Century Entertainment.


    There were a lot of things she needed to discuss with Ivan. Ivan sighed, “I’m the one who brought you


    into the entertainment industry, but I know your heart’s not in it. If you want to leave, I won’t oppose.


    You’re with Starlight International Group now, I get it.”


    Agnes said, “Ivan, I want you to take over Starlight International Group. I’m just a figurehead there, the


    actual shares all belong to Century Entertainment. So, Ivan, I’m handing Starlight International Group


    over to you.”


    Ivan was stunned, “I can manage Starlight International Group for you, no problem. But from what


    you’re saying, are you leaving?”


    Agnes gave a littleugh, answering, “I’m nning to study abroad.”


    Ivan was silent for a while, saying, “You want to leave this ce that’s brought you so much sorrow,


    huh? I never expected you and Jared would end up like this.”


    Agnes forced a smile, trying to look rxed, “It’s my destiny, I don’t have any regrets.”


    Do you want to see Jared before you leave? He’s not doing too welltely.”


    Agnes lowered her head, “No, we’re no longer connected.”


    She managed to suppress the urge to ask what was wrong with Jared.


    Ivan sighed deeply, “Then let me treat you to dinner tonight, consider it my farewell to you. If you ever


    have any problems, you can alwayse to me.”


    Agnes went and hugged Ivan, “Thank you, Ivan. I’m leaving Starlight International Group in your hands,


    I feel relieved now.”


    “Agnes, just so we’re clear, I’m only managing Starlight International Group for you temporarily. You’ll


    have to take it back eventually. Don’t think you can throw this difficult business on me, I’m a shrewd


    businessman, I don’t do deals that lose money.”


    Agnesughed, answering, “Alright, you can manage it temporarily for me.”


    That night, Agnes, Ivan, and Mamie had dinner together. Mamie was angry the whole time. Agnes tried


    to cate her, but she remained upset. In the end, Agnes gave up and just chatted with Ivan. Then,


    Mamie couldn’t help but ask, “Agnes, are you really leaving? Even if you’ve divorced Jared, you still


    have friends here, are you really going abroad?”


    Ivan chimed in, “Agnes is going abroad to further her studies.”


    Mamie shot him a look, “Do you think I’m stupid? She’s running away! If she really leaves for a few

    years, what will happen to Jared? They’ll have no chance of getting back together.”


    Agnesughed.


    She had just divorced, and Mamie was already hoping she’d remarry Jared.


    Agnes said, “There’s no chance of us getting back together. After I leave, we’ll forget each other, and


    that’s not a bad thing.”


    Mamie’s face turned serious, “You’re callous, but I don’t think Jared can survive without you. Look at


    him now, he’s worn out, he’s not the Jared I know. He’s living alone at Maplewood Manor, drinking all


    day. When I went to see him yesterday, I could hardly recognize him.”
