Heartstrings on Fire (Agnes and Jared) novel Chapter 248

Chapter 248 

Suddenly, the whole venue went dead silent. 

Everyone was staring in shock at the two women in the middle of the room. 

These two women were familiar faces to everyone. 

One was a top-tier actress, the object of everyone’s attention with an immense reputation. 

The other, although a newcomer in the entertainment industry, was already immensely popular. She was also the lady of the Tim Group. 

There were plenty of gossips surrounding these two women. 

They all involved one man – Jared, the CEO of the Tim Group. 

There were rumors that Jared was the secret boyfriend of Mamie, who even proposed to him. But it was later revealed that Jared was already married, and his wife was none other than Ms. Pritchard who was currently in the room 

The relationship between these two women was notonously bad. If the Heart of the Kingdom was stolen, there was no way they could have done it together. 

But if it was said that one of them did it, that was even harder to believe 

Mamie, an international star known for hes arrogance, wouldn’t stoop to theft 

And Ms. Pritchard, hailing from a prominent family and the lady of the Tim Group with immense wealth, had no reason to risk her reputation for a necklace. 

When Mamie and Agnes heard the security manager utter their names, they were both stunned. 

Agnes had a bad feeling about this 

Mamie, upon hearing her name, stormed out of the crowd, pointing at the manager and said, “How dare you slander me, bring out whoever is in charge here!” 

Those present knew about Mamie’s temper 

The MC hastily apologized, “Ms. Mamie, you are our special guest, we’re not suspecting you. But the necklace is missing, and we need to investigate. Could you tell us why you were on the second floor when it’s clearly marked as off-limits?” 

Mamie turned around, sneered,” was following Ms. Pritchard up 

In an instant, Mamie’s words drew all eyes to Agnes. 

Agnes felt her heart sink. 

Her feeling of unease intensified. 

The MC also approached, “Ms. Pritchard, why were you on the second floor?” 

Agnes answered truthfully, “I was tired and was looking for a rest room” 

Agnes hadn’t noticed the “no entry” sign, which made her feel even more puzzled. 

The MC was at a loss of what to do. 

After all, these were two women not to be trifled with. 

The manager said, “We’re sorry, but to clear your names, please cooperate with us for a check”
