Heartstrings on Fire (Agnes and Jared) novel Chapter 279

Chapter 279 

Agnes played the victim, “Why don’t you believe in me?” 

Justin sighed seriously, “Mamie’s been in this industry for ten years. She may be a bit headstrong and arrogant, but she’s well-respected, and her acting skills are top-notch. She’s buddies with the judges of SH Gala. The gala is organized by Universal International Entertainment, and their CEO is one of Mamie’s suitors. She’s got talent and luck, how could you possibly beat her?” 

Agnes didn’t seem to care, “Alright, Justin, enough said. If I really lose, then I’ll just quit acting. It’s not a big deal to me.” 

Justin didn’t know what to say to this stubborn girl in front of him. 

She gained huge success as soon as she debuted. Just with a TV series, she was nominated for best actress. This was a dream for many, but she didn’t give a 

damn. 

Then, Agnes thought of something, “Do you know what’s going on inside Starlight International Group?” 

Justin was a key member of Starlight International Group. In order to keep him, Preston had given him some shares, making Justin one of the shareholders. 

Upon hearing this, Justin frowned, “I only know that almost all the big names that Starlight International Group relies on have left. 

“Why is that?” 

Justin got serious, “In fact, your Dad has been less involved in the company in recent years, and your stepmother is basically in charge. She’s not a businessperson and she’s domineering and harsh. Im not surprised that Starlight International Group has become like this.” 

Agnes felt heavy-hearted. 

She knew what Justin was talking about, but after ten years, Laura was still the person her father trusted the most. So, there were many things that Agnes couldn’t say in front of Preston. 

Justin seemed to have thought of something suddenly, “But Agnes, there’s something you need to pay special attention to.” 

“What’s that?” 

“I once saw your stepmother with… 

Justin stopped mid-sentence, “Never mind, I don’t have solid evidence, I better not say it. But you should keep an eye on your stepmother’s actions and who she’s hanging out with.” 

Agnes felt puzzled. What was Justin trying to say? 

Just then, Emily came over 

“Agnes, Justin, it’s time for you to walk the red carpet.” 

Agnes and Justin left the hotel together. 

There were dedicated cars downstairs to pick up the guests. It only took three minutes to drive from the hotel to the venue, but the organizer probably prepared more than a hundred luxury cars to transport the stars. 

Justin helped Agnes into a convertible Ferrari.
