Chapter 273
Sure, Agnes was a fresh face who rocketed to stardom overnight, but how did she have the guts to say something
like that?
For the past decade, Mamie had been racking up awards left and right, bagged the best actress title three years in
a row, and was universally regarded as the queen of the entertainment industry.
Agnes throwing down this gauntlet was just asking for trouble.
A smirk crossed Mamie’s face.
“Agnes, are you sure you want to gamble with me?”
Even Ivan seemed caught off guard: “Agnes, don’t be rash.”

you stop hassling me”
Mamie gave a cold and arrogant laugh, “If I don’t win, Ill retire and leave the entertainment industry for good.”
With that, Mamie tumed on her heel and left.
The onlookers all felt a pang of regret. These two were just too impulsive. They were basically gambling with their
futures.
And anyone could see that Agnes was digging her own grave
In the CEO’s office.
Ivan said, “Why did you have to be so impulsive? I could have helped you deal with the issue between you and
Mamie.”
Agnes chuckled, “You know as well as I do, I never planned on sticking around in the entertainment industry. If I can
make a splash on my way out, it’s not a bad deal for me.”
Ivan was silent for a while, then sighed, “I know you’re not in it. Alright, you can go now
After finishing her work, Agnes didn’t head home, but went to Tim Tower instead.
With the Yolanda Bowman incident still fresh in everyone’s mind, everyone in the secretarial department was polite
to her as she passed through.
But there were odd looks in people’s eyes. Agnes figured it was because of the recent news, so she didn’t think
much of it.
Mia Taylor was surprised to see Agnes, “Agnes, was that really your sister who just came in? She was way over the
top.”

Agnes was taken aback “Who?”
Mia was surprised: “You don’t know? Half an hour ago, a girl named Beatrice Pritchard barged in, claiming she was
the CEO’s wife’s sister and demanded to see the CEO. We told her to wait, but she made a fuss, saying we were
brushing her off. She made a scene in the secretarial department for two hours and even had us pour her tea. I
wasn’t sure of her identity, so I let her have her way till the CEO finished his meeting”
Beatrice was here? Agnes frowned.
She headed to the CEO’s office, not bothering to knock, just pushed the door open.
Jared was writing something, then tore off a piece of paper and handed it to Beatrice.
Beatrice took the paper, thrilled: “Jared, you’re so generous! Our whole family is so grateful. Agnes is so lucky to
have married you.”
Jared’s voice was cold: “If there’s nothing else, you can leave now.”
Beatrice’s voice became even more coquettish: “Jared, I waited two hours for you in the secretarial department,
and now you’re in such a hurry to get rid of me? i haven’t eaten yet today, I’m starving. Can you take me out for a
meal?”
