Chapter 138
Agnes was fed up with Jared’s act of playing dumb.
“He’s better than you, Jared I’m done going around in circles with you. If you still refuse to divorce, I’ll go straight to a lawyer. If you don’t mind being exposed” Jared seemed indifferent on the surface, but anger was burning inside him
She was quite something, making him so mad in just a few seconds. In all these years, she was the first one to do so.
She had asked him for a divorce three times in just three days
Jared’s voice became colder. “Agnes, I forgot to tell you when we got married, divorce doesn’t exist in my dictionary, only widowhood”
Agnes looked at him in disbelief
His cold face sent shivers down her spine.
She had never seen such a sinister side of Jared before.
Jared slammed the door and left
Soon, Agnes heard the roaring sound of a car downstairs.
Jared had left Maplewood Manor
Where was he going so late?
Was he going to see Mamie?
Agnes was exhausted, she quickly fell asleep on the bed.
The next morning
Agnes went to the set
When she entered the makeup room, she saw everyone gathering together to discuss something
As she entered, everyone immediately quieted down.
They all had strange looks in their eyes.
Agnes was puzzled
Ava came over, a worned look on her face, “Agnes, you’re on the entertainment headlines”
She handed Agnes a tabloid.
The headline read, “Queen’s fiancé caught cheating, seen sneaking around with newbie at midnight.”
There were a few pictures below.
Paparazzi obviously took them with a telephoto lens.
Two people kissing in the hallway.
Agnes remembered the hallway of Maplewood Manor was transparent from north to south, and the southernmost balcony was floor–to–ceiling windows, probably where the photos were taken from.
The photos were not clear, but the silhouettes of the two people could be made out.
The article also revealed her identity
The report was sharp, directly pointing out she was the third party between Mamie and Jared.
There were various rumors that she had gotten the lead role in the new drama through under–the table means.
The internet was filled with criticism as soon as the news came out
Mamie’s fans called for “Agnes to get out of the entertainment industry; the topic had tens of millions of views and unprecedented heat
Even Justin’s fans feared that the female lead would drag down their idol, joining the call for “Demand for replacement of Cinderella’s female lead
Agnes’s name was immediately at the center of public opinion.
Beatrice crossed her arms and came over, gloating, “Agnes, what do you have to say now, still not admitting to being the third party? I wonder how you’ll clear your name this time Mr. Whitfield will hold a press conference at three in the afternoon, he’ll surely cut lies with you. If I were you, I’d rather kill myself now than drown in Mamie’s fans‘ saliva.”
