Chapter 167 Shawn was eyeing everyone around him carefully. Jared didnât seem to be stopping him, so he gave the bottle another spin.
But, when the bottle came to a halt, it was once again pointing at Agnes, Everyone fell silent.
Shawn, feeling a bit awkward, said to Agnes, âAgnes, I didnât cheat, but your luck is really.â
With everyone watching, there was no way Shawn could have cheated.
Agnes accepted the challenge and asked Mamie, âWhat do you want me to do this time?â
W G S C Z F Mamie had a cold look on her face. All eyes were on her. She stated slowly and clearly, âI want you to divorce Jared.â
The room fell silent immediately. Things seemed to be getting serious.
Everyone present knew that Mamie and Jared were childhood sweethearts. Their wedding news had even been rumored before.
However, Jared suddenly announced that he was getting married with a young woman. The reason behind this was unknown to outsiders.
But Mamie was also quite the character. She was a top star in the entertainment industry, the young lady of the Bartley family, pursued by many.
To outsiders, she and Jared seemed equal rivals. Surely, she wouldnât be troubled over a relationship. But it seemed like the reality was different. Now, her saying these words showed that she hadnât let go of Jared.
Everyone was stunned, unsure of how to diffuse the situation.
Shawn said, âMamie, itâs just a game, no need to take it so seriously.â
Mamie looked at Agnes firmly, âIsnât life just a game? If youâre in, youâve got to play by the rules.â
Agnes, without a momentâs hesitation, stood up and took a bottle of liquor from the box. She was about to chug it down but was stopped by Jared, âWhat do you think youâre doing?â
Shawn explained, âThatâs the rule of the game. If you canât complete the challenge, you have to drink a bottle. But this is a rare strong liquor. It could be bad for Agnes.â Jared took the bottle from Agnes and said, âThe rules didnât say someone else canât drink for you, right?â
Shawn quickly responded, âNo, they didnât.â
Jared said calmly, âAgnes is my wife, and we are one. If sheâs to be punished, then Iâll drink for her.â
As he finished, Jared had already popped the bottle open and started drinking slowly.
Everyone was taken aback. They all knew Jaredâs words were actually meant for Mamie.
Everyone felt a bit sorry for Mamie. How hurt must a woman be to use a game to try to win back her love? But they all knew, it was just a game for fun. Could it really change the current situation?
Jared had made his stance very clear.
Agnes stood there, bewildered, trying to stop him. But Jared gave her a comforting look, signaling her not to worry. Agnes didnât know much about liquor, so she wasnât aware of the potential consequences of the strong drink. But Mamie did. Seeing that Jared had drunk half of it, she said, âThatâs vodka from the Balkans in Bulgaria. Arenât you afraid of risking your life drinking like this?â
Jared didnât stop and drank it all in one go. The moment he put the bottle down on the table, everyone clapped for him.
Jared didnât seem to be affected by the drink, maintaining his calm and elegance. He said in a voice as calm as the breeze, âAsking me to divorce is like asking me to end my life.â
