Chapter 125
When Jared popped the question, she was left dilly–dallying
Mamie feared this guy would never open up to her, not really.

She even doubted if Jared’s feelings for her were as deep as she’d imagined. As her brother said,
proposing is just a guy going with the flow.
She had a Hollywood gig coming up then, so she used that as an excuse to turn him down.
Deep down, she wanted to chat about this with Jared. It was no small matter to her.
But what she never saw coming was hearing that Jared had tied the knot the moment she got back
home.
She couldn’t wrap her head around it. How could a guy like Jared ever lay his hands on another
woman?

But when she heard those words on the tape recorder, for the first time, Mamie realized Jared’s
feelings for that girl might be genuine.
She needed to get to the bottom of this herself.
Suddenly, Mamie said, “I heard that girl is the lead in your new movie, isn’t she? She’s shooting at
Lakeside College right now, right?”
Ivan frowned and asked, “What are you getting at?”
Mamie replied, “Let me play a bit part in the movie. I want to meet her.”
Ivan shot her down immediately, “Don’t cause a scene. Agnes is a good girl; you can’t mess with her.”
He knew his sister all too well.
But Mamie grabbed Ivan’s hand, put it on her face like when they were kids, half coquettishly, half
pleadingly, and said, “Brother, you’re the best person in the world to me. Will you help me? I won’t
mess with her. I just want to know why Jared chose her”
Lakeside College
Half a month later, it was back to business for the crew.
The July sun was blazing hot.
Before the shoot, a few young actresses were shooting the breeze.
Ava told Agnes, “Did you hear? They’ve finally cast the role of Naomi, and it’s Mamie! I saw her agent
negotiating with the director. Mamie’s joining us today.”
Naomi is the lead character, Samie’s sister. She’s described in the book as an upper–crust beauty.
Naomi doesn’t have many scenes, just three in total, but she plays a pivotal role in the storyline and is
an indispensable character.
They hadn’t found the right actress with such a distinct character description until now. Who would’ve
thought they’d have Mamie filling in?

Truth be told, Mamie and Naomi share many character traits.
Yet, Mamie has always been picky, only playing lead roles in movies, not even giving TV dramas a
second look, let alone a bit part like this.
Mamie’s name instantly thickened the air in the green room.
“Who would’ve thought we’d have Mamie on board? They must’ve shelled out big bucks. With her in
the show, the ratings will surely skyrocket.”
“You guys probably don’t know, but the producer of ‘Cinderella‘ is Ivan, who’s Mamie’s brother, so it’s
not that surprising.”
“Ivan backs so many projects yearly, why hasn’t Mamie ever been involved? I think it’s more likely
because Jared, the CEO of the Tim Group, is the big shot behind this show. Have you heard? Mamie
even proposed to Jared! They might be getting hitched soon.”
“I saw that news too, but it’s been hushed up now; after all, it’s Mamie’s private life. But I think there
might be some truth to it. Mamie’s about to break into Hollywood but suddenly getting married now.
Could she be pregnant?”
“Not necessarily, but which big shot in showbiz doesn’t have kids before getting married?”
