Chapter 729


    Agnes felt a pang of sorrow in her heart. She walked straight over to Mamie and hugged her.


    Mamie struggled a bit, but Agnes held her even tighter, and in the end, Mamie stopped struggling. They


    both ended up crying.


    Choking on her words, Mamie said, "Don''t think that this means I''ve forgiven you. If you ever disappear


    like that again, I swear I''ll skin you alive."


    Two men stood on the sidelines, watching this scene.


    Jared spoke up, "She never showed that much concern for me." Ivan echoed, "Same here."


    The two men exchanged a nce and said in unison, "Ah, women."


    When they sat down, Mamie was like a different person. She was all warmth and concern for Agnes,


    asking about her life over the past few years. And Agnes shared her experiences in Manhattan in a


    chatterbox manner.


    Mamie listened, her heart aching. A young woman struggling alone in a foreign ce, wandering for


    four years.


    Agnes talked about her thrilling experiences as a journalist as if they were just interesting stories.


    But everyone else was on edge, only she seemed nonchnt. Even Jared was hearing these stories


    for the first time.


    Every time Agnesughed while discussing the hardships she faced, Jared felt as if he had been


    stabbed in the heart. At the end, Mamie held Agnes'' hand and said, "It''s good that you''re back now.


    You have family and friends here. Maybe you could take over Starlight International Group, your


    father''s legacy."


    Ivan added, "Yeah, I''ve been running it for many years. It''s time for me to step back."


    Agnes replied, "Ivan, it''s precisely because you''ve run it for so many years that I can''te back.


    Starlight International Group doesn''t really have anything to do with me anymore. I''m very grateful that


    you helped out when it was in trouble. The shares of Starlight International Group are yours. It''s your


    business now."

    A smile crept onto Ivan''s face. "Agnes, there''s something I''ve never told you. It wasn''t me who saved


    Starlight International Group."


    Agnes was surprised. "What do you mean?"


    Ivan nced at Jared. "It was all Jared''s doing. He funded everything but did it under the name of


    Century Entertainment because he knew you wouldn''t ept his help. If you want to thank someone,


    thank Jared."


    Agnes was shocked. She had no idea about any of this four years ago when she had a falling out with


    Jared. Had Jared really been helping her behind the scenes?


    Agnes turned to look at Jared, who calmly had some water. "Don''t look at me like that. It was no big


    deal."


    Whether it was a big deal or not, Agnes knew better. It was all Laura''s scheming back then. If she


    hadn''t asked for such a high price, Laura wouldn''t have sold her shares. And then Jared had to buy


    back all the shares from various shareholders, which wasn''t a smooth process.


    He must have done all this under a lot of pressure from his family.


    Agnes couldn''t describe how she felt. All she knew was that she owed this man a lot.
