Chapter 291
Agnes spoke firmly, “Ivan, I haven’t failed. But everything you’ve done can’t stay hidden anymore.”
Ivan’s face changed instantly.
He stepped forward, “What are you talking about? Are you and Mamie playing some kind of game?”
Agnes nodded, “Yes, all of today was just a performance choreographed by us.”
“I don’t believe you could pull off the SH Gala”
“I really don’t have this ability, but your sister does. Mamie and the president of Universal International Entertainment, Farrell, are friends. She asked him for a favor and he agreed instantly.”
Ivan’s face darkened.
That guy Farrel, after all these years, is still causing trouble for him!
“Why would Mamie agree to play along with you?”
“I guess that’s the only thing you didn’t see coming, ’cause you think she’s too proud and the person she dislikes most is me. But I never told her that I suspect you’re the puppet master behind the scenes. Even if I did, she wouldn’t believe me, so, I had to let her see and hear for herself.”
After saying that, Agnes suddenly turned around, “Come out.”
Ivan felt a sinking feeling in his heart.
Mamie and Jared both emerged from behind the big screen.
Mamie looked complicated, stepping up to Ivan.
Ivan’s calm and gentle expression finally faded, “I thought you’d gone back to the hotel?”
“Agnes said she’d show me a good show, so I came back.
Ivan turned to Jared, “So you’re in on this too.”
Jared said, “They’re the directors, and I’m just a supporting actor.”
Mamie looked at Ivan incredulously. “Why would you do this?”
“Because I don’t want to see you depressed all the time because of a man. I wanted to help you reclaim everything that belongs to you.”
Mamie looked tom.
She used to hate Agnes for stealing her lover.
