Chapter 367
Mamie suddenly looked up and asked, “How did you know all this?”
Agnes spilled the beans about catching Ivan kissing Mamie in the hospital. Even though she promised Ivan she would keep it hush-hush, Agnes felt there was no point in hiding it anymore.
Upon hearing this, Mamie was stunned for a long time, her mind flooded with mixed emotions. First came quilt, embarrassment, and confusion, then shock, and surprisingly, a touch of delight. She never knew her brother was so into her.
Seeing Mamie in a daze, Agnes got a bit worried.
“What are you gonna do now?”
Mamie snapped out of it and sighed, “Just gonna go with the flow”
Agnes thought about it and agreed. Given their special statuses, there was no freedom in matters of the heart.

In the entertainment industry, this sort of thing wasn’t uncommon. The path to success was always filled with challenges, and Agnes had stood out from the get-go.
