Chapter 255 Jared didnât hesitate: âI know what Mamie is like. Although she can be a bit bossy and stubborn at times, she wouldnât do something as low as this.â
Agnes suddenly laughed.
Just as she thought, Jared chose to believe Mamie without a second thought.
She didnât need to ask any more questions.
She didnât have any solid proof that Mamie had set her up.
But the reason Jared trusted Mamie was because he knew her. He believed she hadnât stolen the necklace because âshe didnât have the gutsâ, Agnes took off the necklace from around her neck and handed it to Jared âThis thing is too precious, I canât accept it.â
Jaredâs face turned cold: âWhat are you doing? I bought it for you. If I donât give it to you, who the hell should I give it to?â
âWhoever you want to give it to.â
Jared looked at Agnes quietly, then said coldly: âFine.â
On the way home, they both remained silent.
Agnes didnât know what Jared was thinking.
And she didnât want to know.
Jared said he would investigate, so she would wait for his investigation.
When they got home, Agnes went straight to the guest room.
In the days that followed, Agnes was swamped with work and had little to rest Even though she and Jared lived under the same roof, they hardly saw each other.
And when they did, they didnât chat On Christmas Day, âThe Magical Romance of Cinderellaâ, starring Agnes and Justin, premiered.
The showâs ratings skyrocketed on the first day, reaching the highest in its time slot.
The unique magical theme combined with a young idol drama setting and Justinâs popularity immediately caused a huge stir The next morning. Agnes woke up to find her name all over the news headlines.
This was what they called instant fame.
The popularity of âThe Magical Romance of Cinderellaâ severely disrupted Agnesâ life Every time she went to school, she was mobbed by fans.
Even in the quietest library, crowds of people nearly caused chaos just to catch a glimpse of her.
Adding to the fact that she would run into reporters everywhere, Agnes could hardly go to school anymore.
Luckily, all her classes had ended and she only needed to finish writing her thesis Agnes had no choice but to take a two-month leave of absence, in the hope that her life would return to normal once the buzz around the show had died down.
During those days, she was constantly busy with press conferences, commercial events, and interviews.
Sometimes, Agnes didnât go home for a week, staying in an apartment arranged by the company.
Jared called her every day, but they only talked briefly At some point, Agnes felt a rift growing between them, This rift had always been there, but they had chosen to ignore it in the past.
This nft was caused by their hasty marriage...
Looking back, the realized the hadnât even known this man for a full year.
After attending a grand opening ceremony, Agnes returned to Century Building.
Ivan, who also attended the event, was the owner of Century Building and Agnesâ temporary agent, with all her work arrangements made by him.
By the time she got back, Agnes was completely worn out. In the dressing room, she quietly removed her makeup alone.
Ivan walked in, holding a paper bag âI noticed you didnât have dinner tonight, so I bought you a burger and fries.â
Agnes was surprised. âYou left the car first, just to buy me dinner?â
Ivan smiled gently I know youâve been upset recently, but you still need to eat well
