Heartstrings on Fire (Agnes and Jared)

Chapter 285

People’s tension reached its peak at this moment. “Ladies and gents, our Best Actress award goes to

Sylvia from the “Magical Romance of Cinderella’, played by Agnes Pritchard!” the host announced in a

booming voice.

There was an uproar in the audience. Agnes’ acting was undoubtedly excellent. Her popularity

skyrocketed after her performance in her first domestic fantasy idol

drama.

But in any case, compared with Mamie, she was slightly inferior in every way. She actually snatched

the Best Actress award from Mamiel

What’s even more shocking was the wager between Agnes and Mamie: the loser had to quit the

showbiz.

Now Agnes won. Was Mamie really gonna quit showbiz? C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.

The camera then zoomed into Agnes’s face. She was all smiles, not overly surprised, but calm, almost

suspiciously calm.

“SH Gala has always been fair and square. How much dough did the jury get from her? How the heck

did she become the Best Actress?”

“Don’t you know how powerful Ms. Pritchard’s background is? She’s the mistress of the Tim Group. It’s

not impossible for her to buy a Best Actress award.”

“But isn’t Mr. Whitfield close to Mamie?”

“Maybe he’s just pretending to be close to Mamie. Perhaps, in reality, he’s helping his wife get rid of her

competition.”

“In any case, I think there must be something wrong with the selection of the best actress this year.”

The host’s voice echoed in the hall, “Now, please welcome Ms. Pritchard to the stage to accept her

award.”

Agnes stood up and walked to the stage.

Presenting the award was famous director Darby. He handed the trophy to Agnes and hugged her.

“Congratulations, Ms. Pritchard.”

“Thank you,” Agnes said.

Now it was time for her acceptance speech.

Standing in front of the podium, Agnes graciously said, “Thank you, SH Gala, for this honor. Thanks to

all my fans. I’m really surprised to receive this award today… While Agnes was giving her speech, all

eyes were on Mamie.

For her, the honor of Best Actress was snatched away by a newcomer. She shouldn’t be able to accept

it.

Was there really gonna be news about Mamie quitting showbiz tomorrow?

Even the cameraman pointed the lens at Mamie. Agnes was giving her speech on the stage, but the

big screen’s background was Mamie’s face.

Mamie looked serious, but she kept her cool.

After all, she’s been through thick and thin in showbiz. After losing the Best Actress award, she still

managed to stay calm, even pulled off a standard smile when the camera panned over her.

If she really quit showbiz, that would be a huge loss for the industry.

Everyone thought, with so many loyal fans and a decade in showbiz, she wouldn’t just walk away.

If Agnes was smart enough, she should take this opportunity to give Mamie a way out, to resolve the

conflict. This would earn her respect and could be beneficial

for her career.

It was the perfect ending everyone was hoping for

But at this moment, Agnes on the stage had finished her thanks-speech.

She didn’t leave the stage, but stared straight at Mamie

She paused for a moment and then said, “I think everyone knows about the bet between Mamie and

me…
