Chapter 279 Agnes played the victim, âWhy donât you believe in me?â
Justin sighed seriously, âMamieâs been in this industry for ten years. She may be a bit headstrong and arrogant, but sheâs well-
respected, and her acting skills are top-notch. Sheâs buddies with the judges of SH Gala. The gala is organized by Universal International Entertainment, and their CEO is one of Mamieâs suitors. Sheâs got talent and luck, how could you possibly beat her?â
Agnes didnât seem to care, âAlright, Justin, enough said. If I really lose, then Iâll just quit acting. Itâs not a big deal to me.â
Justin didnât know what to say to this stubborn girl in front of him.
She gained huge success as soon as she debuted. Just with a TV series, she was nominated for best actress. This was a dream for many, but she didnât give a damn.
Then, Agnes thought of something, âDo you know whatâs going on inside Starlight International Group?â
Justin was a key member of Starlight International Group. In order to keep him, Preston had given him some shares, making Justin one of the shareholders.
Upon hearing this, Justin frowned, âI only know that almost all the big names that Starlight International Group relies on have left.
âWhy is that?â
Justin got serious, âIn fact, your Dad has been less involved in the company in recent years, and your stepmother is basically in charge. Sheâs not a businessperson and sheâs domineering and harsh. Im not surprised that Starlight International Group has become like this.â
Agnes felt heavy-hearted.
She knew what Justin was talking about, but after ten years, Laura was still the person her father trusted the most. So, there were many things that Agnes couldnât say in front of Preston.
Justin seemed to have thought of something suddenly, âBut Agnes, thereâs something you need to pay special attention to.â
âWhatâs that?â
âI once saw your stepmother with...
Justin stopped mid-sentence, âNever mind, I donât have solid evidence, I better not say it. But you should keep an eye on your stepmotherâs actions and who sheâs hanging out with.â
Agnes felt puzzled. What was Justin trying to say?
Just then, Emily came over âAgnes, Justin, itâs time for you to walk the red carpet.â
Agnes and Justin left the hotel together.
There were dedicated cars downstairs to pick up the guests. It only took three minutes to drive from the hotel to the venue, but the organizer probably prepared more than a hundred luxury cars to transport the stars.
Justin helped Agnes into a convertible Ferrari.
Because there were drones filming from the air, the car drove slowly From the moment they left the hotel, all the footage would be shown on the big screen at the ceremony.
A few minutes later, they arrived at The Jolsen Auditorium where the ceremony was held.
Outside the auditorium, a 500-meter-long red carpet was laid out, with barriers and security personnel on both sides.
A large number of journalists were taking photos and filming outside the barrier.
The whole red carpet area was flickering with lights, and the stars were gathered here like a galaxy.
