Heartstrings on Fire (Agnes and Jared)

Chapter 290

Agnes asked casually, “So, when did you start having a scheme against me?”

Ivan frowned, thinking, “Well, that was a long time ago. Right from the first time we met.”

“The first time we met, you mean when we had that car accident?”

Agnes recalled her first encounter with Ivan. She had scratched his fancy car with her bike and ended

up paying him two grand.

A smile spread across Ivan’s face, “I noticed you were out of it, so I deliberately had my driver steer

towards you, causing you to hit my car?

Agnes had suspected Ivan had been plotting from early on, but she never guessed that even their first

meeting was preplanned.

So, every step she took afterward, including acting in the TV drama and her daily life, were all part of

Ivan’s plan.

Agnes found this seemingly gentlemanly man in front of her terrifying

“Ivan, you’re such a conspirator.”

Ivan smiled gracefully. “Thanks for the compliment.”

Then he took a deep breath, “But Agnes, you got one thing wrong just now.”

“What?”

“You said that the mastermind would definitely be the first person to show up here tonight, to enjoy the

fruits of his victory. But that’s not necessarily the case.”

“What are you trying to say?”

I’m saying. I genuinely wanted to comfort you.”

Agnes snorted, “How hypocritical.”

“It’s okay if you want to misunderstand me. Agnes, my goal was indeed to make you divorce Jared. I

didn’t want to see Mamie upset. She’s my precious little sister, so I had to do this. But I can make it up

to you.”

“How to make up for it?”

“After you divorce Jared, I can marry you!”

“I don’t deserve you.”

Ivan smiled gently, “If you’re not willing to accept my compensation, I won’t force it. But I have a few

questions for you.”

“Go ahead”

“Since you’ve been suspicious of me and saw through my motives and means, and even can predict

my next move, why did you play along? Now that the game is up, no one will believe you, not even

Jared. You’ve failed. What’s the point of knowing the truth?

The lighting in the hall remained dim. Half of the man’s face was hidden in the shadows, like a

seemingly gentlemanly devil.

Agnes said calmly: “No, Ivan, you definitely didn’t expect that all of this is a sham. This is just a

performance Mamie and I put on. The so-called bet, the dress-stepping incident, and even the words

we exchanged in the dressing room, everything was preplanned. It’s just a show. The headline

tomorrow won’t be about me framing Mamie. Instead, it’ll be about Mamie and I collaborating on a new

movie with real-life actors, depicting the changes in the entertainment industry. Today’s gala is just a

part of the real story in the movie. We contacted Universal International Entertainment in advance and

explained our intentions and demands. The president of Universal International Entertainment agreed

and shared parts of the script with a few A-listers attending the gala. The stars in the audience can

testify in front of the media that everything today was just acting according to the script. Mamie and I

even filmed a video explaining this half a month ago. The fan sabotage, the dress-stepping incident,

and this gala, all are part of the script. In fact, Mamie and I withdrew from the competition for Best

Actress long ago. The SH Gala will announce the new winner of the Best Actress, and a proper awards Content © NôvelDrama.Org.
