Chapter 292 Mamie looked at Ivan suspiciously, âSo youâre just planning to use me?â
Being the daughter-in-law of the Whitfield family and the lady of the Tim Group, those titles are pretty attractive, huh?
If she married into the Whitfield family, it would definitely give his career a big boost, right?
In the past, Mamie would never doubt her own brother But now, after Ivan has done so many unbelievable things, Mamie suddenly felt lost.
She looked at the man in front of her, the man who once loved her deeply, and felt as if she had never really known him.
At this moment, Jared said, âMamie, the whole world can misunderstand him, blame him, but you canât. He just wants to protect you.â
âProtect me?â
âOnly the Whitfield family can overwhelm the Bartley family. If you become the daughter-in-law of the Whitfield family, no one from the Bartley family would dare to mess with you. I guess thatâs what Ivanâs thinkingâ
On hearing this explanation, Mamie was flooded with a mix of emotions.
Shock, guilt, sorrow, heartbreak, all these intense emotions seemed to weave into a net, tightly enveloping her.
She quietly looked at Ivan, unable to say anything for a moment.
A hint of pain showed in Ivanâs eyes, Tm sorry, Mamie, I havenât been able to protect you well.â
âThatâs not it.â Mamie whispered.
Although everyone said sheâs domineering and willful, she could still distinguish right from wrong.
Ivan did make mistakes, but all his actions were for her.
Suddenly Mamie spun around and bowed deeply to Agnes, âI know my brother has done many things to wrong you, but he did it all for me. I donât dare to hope youâd forgive us, but Iâm willing to face the consequences. Tomorrow, Iâll announce my retirement from showbiz, as compensation to you.â
Ivan stared at her in shock. He quickly grabbed Mamieâs hand, âSince these things have been exposed, Iâll take responsibility for what Iâve done.â
Agnes was also taken aback.
Ivan said to Agnes, âYou should know, everything I did was without Mamieâs knowledge. Otherwise, she wouldnât have helped you catch me, the one pulling the strings behind the scenes. Since all this has nothing to do with her, I hope you donât blame her Tomorrow, Iâll hold a press conference to clear everything up, and Iâm also willing to take all legal responsibilitiesâ
Mamie immediately objected, âNo! If you hold a press conference, Century Entertainment will be finished.â
Ivan turned to Jared and said, âJared, I know youâre a man who holds grudges. I deceived you, betrayed you, but please, for the sake of our many years of friendship, donât let Mamie be implicated.â
Jared looked at Agnes and said, âAll this time, the one youâve hurt isnât me, but my wife. Iâm just a bystander. The final decision is Agnesâ. If Agnes wants to put you in jail, Iâll hire the best lawyer to help her.â
Mamie held Agnesâ hand tightly, almost pleading. âPlease donât. Whatever my brother has done, Iâll take the fall. Iâll leave showbiz. Iâll stay away from you. Please donât ruin him.â
Agnes answered, âMy reputation was damaged, I was slandered, and I was even almost framed as a murderer. How could I easily forget such things?â
Mamie lowered her eyes.
Agnes continued, âHowever, if you agree to my three conditions, I might consider not pursuing his responsibility.â
Hope sparked in Mamieâs eyes, âTell me, no matter what the conditions are, Iâll agred
