Chapter 168
Jared actually spouted some pretty mushy stuff, but it didn’t sound cheesy coming from him, kinda heart fluttering
All the girls in the room were shooting envious glances at Agnes. Jared was actually risking a showdown with Mamie for her.
A look of disbelief spread across Mamie’s face. She was with Jared for years, when did Jared ever say something sweet?
She even started to question, did they ever had a romance during those years? She thought his cold demeanor was just his nature, why did he seem like a changed man with Agnes?

Agnes saw Jared downing an entire bottle of booze, and worriedly asked, ‘Are you okay?”
Brayden chimed in, “No worries, Jared’s always had a great tolerance for alcohol. He’s been a heavyweight since his teens.”
Something flickered in Agnes’s mind, but she couldn’t quite put her finger on it. Something felt off.
Shawn asked again, “Round two?”
Mamie clenched her fists. With gritted teeth, she declared, “Bring it on!”
She refused to believe that she couldn’t take her down today.
Agnes hesitated, but Jared chuckled and said, “Have fun. If you can’t handle anymore, I’ll drink for you.”
The atmosphere was heating up.
Everyone was curious to see how this catfight would end.
The bottle started to spin again, and Everyone’s heart was in their throat.
In the end, the bottle slowly came to a halt, pointing at Mamie instead of Agnes. Everyone was taken aback, and some even wanted to applaud.
Finally, Mamie was picked.
Shawn breathed a sigh of relief. If it pointed at Jared’s wife three times in a row. Knowing Jared, he would cause a scene afterwards.
Everyone thought, this was getting interesting. Mamie had just targeted Agnes twice, and now was her chance to strike back.
Especially the young actresses, they seemed to be gloating. Mamie was always acting high and mighty, so they just wanted to see her stumble.
Shawn observed everyone’s reactions. Then he carefully said to Agnes, “You can make a request.”
Agnes and Mamie locked eyes, the first time she dared to meet Mamie’s gaze. She said seriously, “I hope you won’t disturb our life again.”
Agnes’s words were short and calm, but they carried an undeniable air of confidence and determination.
