Chapter 285 Peopleâs tension reached its peak at this moment. âLadies and gents, our Best Actress award goes to Sylvia from the âMagical Romance of Cinderellaâ, played by Agnes Pritchard!â the host announced in a booming voice.
There was an uproar in the audience. Agnesâ acting was undoubtedly excellent. Her popularity skyrocketed after her performance in her first domestic fantasy idol drama.
But in any case, compared with Mamie, she was slightly inferior in every way. She actually snatched the Best Actress award from Mamiel Whatâs even more shocking was the wager between Agnes and Mamie: the loser had to quit the showbiz.
Now Agnes won. Was Mamie really gonna quit showbiz?
The camera then zoomed into Agnesâs face. She was all smiles, not overly surprised, but calm, almost suspiciously calm.
âSH Gala has always been fair and square. How much dough did the jury get from her? How the heck did she become the Best Actress?â
âDonât you know how powerful Ms. Pritchardâs background is? Sheâs the mistress of the Tim Group. Itâs not impossible for her to buy a Best Actress award.â
âBut isnât Mr. Whitfield close to Mamie?â
âMaybe heâs just pretending to be close to Mamie. Perhaps, in reality, heâs helping his wife get rid of her competition.â
âIn any case, I think there must be something wrong with the selection of the best actress this year.â The hostâs voice echoed in the hall, âNow, please welcome Ms. Pritchard to the stage to accept her award.â
Agnes stood up and walked to the stage.
Presenting the award was famous director Darby. He handed the trophy to Agnes and hugged her. âCongratulations, Ms.
Pritchard.â
âThank you,â Agnes said.
Now it was time for her acceptance speech.
Standing in front of the podium, Agnes graciously said, âThank you, SH Gala, for this honor. Thanks to all my fans. Iâm really surprised to receive this award today... While Agnes was giving her speech, all eyes were on Mamie.
For her, the honor of Best Actress was snatched away by a newcomer. She shouldnât be able to accept it.
Was there really gonna be news about Mamie quitting showbiz tomorrow?
Even the cameraman pointed the lens at Mamie. Agnes was giving her speech on the stage, but the big screenâs background was Mamieâs face.
Mamie looked serious, but she kept her cool.
After all, sheâs been through thick and thin in showbiz. After losing the Best Actress award, she still managed to stay calm, even pulled off a standard smile when the camera panned over her.
If she really quit showbiz, that would be a huge loss for the industry.
Everyone thought, with so many loyal fans and a decade in showbiz, she wouldnât just walk away.
If Agnes was smart enough, she should take this opportunity to give Mamie a way out, to resolve the conflict. This would earn her respect and could be beneficial for her career.
It was the perfect ending everyone was hoping for But at this moment, Agnes on the stage had finished her thanks-speech.
She didnât leave the stage, but stared straight at Mamie She paused for a moment and then said, âI think everyone knows about the bet between Mamie and me...
