Chapter 284 The award ceremony was tedious and drawn out, so itâs no surprise that some celebs chose to duck out early. Especially those who donât have any nominations or works on show, and were just here to strut their stuff on the red carpet.
But Mamie and Agnes, theyâre both up for Best Actress. Their sudden disappearance was, well, puzzling.
Their dates, Justin and Mr. Whitfield, were still in their seats, Jared seemed pretty chill, while Justin was constantly checking his watch.
The Best Actress showdown was set to kick off in twenty minutes Justin was clearly in a hurry. He leaned over and said a few words to Ivan. Ivan said, âWeâve still got time. I think they should be back on time.
Meanwhile, up on the sixteenth floor of the banquet hall annex, in an auxiliary lounge, Agnes was grilling Mamie.
âWhy did you come with Jared and I knew nothing about it?â
âAgnes, do I need to report my every move to you?â
âI donât need to know your whereabouts, but Jared is my husbandâ
âSo, thatâs why you deliberately stepped on my dress on the red carpet, to make me look like a fool?â
At this, Agnesâs tone sharpened, âYou brought that on yourself. Mamie, you might be a superstar in everyone elseâs eyes, but to me, youâre nothingâ
âAgnes, I canât believe you would stoop this low! And that crazed fan who tried to push me down the stairs a while back, did you put him up to it?â
Agnes said, âI have no idea what youâre talking about.â
âAgnes, stop pretending. The security in Century Building is tight, not even a fly could get in. I checked the elevator footage, you went up with that fan. Agnes, were you trying to kill me?â
âWithout evidence, how can you accuse me?â
âAgnes, I know what youâve done. I wonât let you get away with this. You said if you didnât win Best Actress, youâd voluntarily quit showbiz.â
Td like to see whoâs going to quit, you or me.â
Main hall of the gala.
The Best Actress award was about to be announced.
The nominees include superstar Mamie, rising star Agnes, seasoned actress Kaley, and sweetheart Silvia.
Of course, the odds-on favorite was Mamie, whoâs been Best Actress for three years running.
The host looked at the empty seats in the front row, and felt a little anxious.
Where did the two of them go?
The winners would be announced soon, and they hadnât appeared yet. Just when everyoneâs was nervous about the two of them, Mamie and Agnes walked in through a side door, one after the other, and returned to their seats.
The host breathed a sigh of relief, stepping into the center of the stage and holding an unopened envelope in hand: âAnd now, the moment weâve all been waitingâ for! The winner of the 23rd SH Gala Best Actress is...â
On the big screen behind the host, the images of the four candidates were constantly switching.
