Heartstrings on Fire (Agnes and Jared) novel Chapter 285

Chapter 285 

People’s tension reached its peak at this moment. “Ladies and gents, our Best Actress award goes to Sylvia from the “Magical Romance of Cinderella’, played by Agnes Pritchard!” the host announced in a booming voice. 

There was an uproar in the audience. Agnes’ acting was undoubtedly excellent. Her popularity skyrocketed after her performance in her first domestic fantasy idol 

drama. 

But in any case, compared with Mamie, she was slightly inferior in every way. She actually snatched the Best Actress award from Mamiel 

What’s even more shocking was the wager between Agnes and Mamie: the loser had to quit the showbiz. 

Now Agnes won. Was Mamie really gonna quit showbiz? 

The camera then zoomed into Agnes’s face. She was all smiles, not overly surprised, but calm, almost suspiciously calm. 

“SH Gala has always been fair and square. How much dough did the jury get from her? How the heck did she become the Best Actress?” 

“Don’t you know how powerful Ms. Pritchard’s background is? She’s the mistress of the Tim Group. It’s not impossible for her to buy a Best Actress award.” 

“But isn’t Mr. Whitfield close to Mamie?” 

“Maybe he’s just pretending to be close to Mamie. Perhaps, in reality, he’s helping his wife get rid of her competition.” 

“In any case, I think there must be something wrong with the selection of the best actress this year.” The host’s voice echoed in the hall, “Now, please welcome Ms. Pritchard to the stage to accept her award.” 

Agnes stood up and walked to the stage. 

Presenting the award was famous director Darby. He handed the trophy to Agnes and hugged her. “Congratulations, Ms. Pritchard.” 

“Thank you,” Agnes said. 

Now it was time for her acceptance speech. 

Standing in front of the podium, Agnes graciously said, “Thank you, SH Gala, for this honor. Thanks to all my fans. I’m really surprised to receive this award today… While Agnes was giving her speech, all eyes were on Mamie. 

For her, the honor of Best Actress was snatched away by a newcomer. She shouldn’t be able to accept it. 

Was there really gonna be news about Mamie quitting showbiz tomorrow? 

Even the cameraman pointed the lens at Mamie. Agnes was giving her speech on the stage, but the big screen’s background was Mamie’s face. 

Mamie looked serious, but she kept her cool. 

After all, she’s been through thick and thin in showbiz. After losing the Best Actress award, she still managed to stay calm, even pulled off a standard smile when the camera panned over her. 

If she really quit showbiz, that would be a huge loss for the industry.
