Chapter 265
Agnes suddenly froze. She was just making an example.
“I didn’t mean that. I was just making an example.”
“So you still haven’t forgotten about that guy?”
“I forgot about him a long time ago.”
“Do you guys still keep in touch?”
“No, absolutely not.”
Agnes turned red as a beet, flustered.
Jared suddenly reached out and ruffled her hair, “Don’t ever mention that guy again, got it? Not even in your thoughts.”
Agnes obediently agreed.
Just like that, Jared’s distraction made Agnes forget what she was about to say.
What was it again?
Regardless, despite the scare today, Agnes’ gloomy mood of the past few weeks had lightened up.
She actually wanted to ask about the necklace but didn’t in the end.
Ivan had mentioned before that the investigation had hit a roadblock
The auction house people disappearing without a trace indicated that there were some big, shady hands pulling the strings behind the scenes.
Agnes wasn’t sure if Mamie was trying to harm her, but she believed that one day, the truth would come out eventually
The next day, whether it was the social or the entertainment section, the main headline was about Mamie being held hostage by a rabid fan.
There happened to be a reporter at the scene. The whole incident on the rooftop was recorded in its entirety.
Aside from highlighting the social phenomenon of rabid fans being, several parts of the video were singled out by the entertainment media, including the part where Jared confessed that he was Mamie’s favorite person.
As Agnes was there, she knew full well that this was a case of the media taking things out of context for the sake of grabbing attention.
Everyone there knew that the criminal was mentally unstable; Jared had to say that to get the criminal to lower his guard.
But now, that statement had become evidence of a relationship between Mamie and Jared.
Rumors started spreading that Agnes was the third party in Mamie and Mr. Whitfield’s relationship.
Because according to the criminal’s time frame, Mamie had proposed to Mr. Whitfield when she was at Dragon Bay, showing that they were still together.
However, based on Jared’s previously revealed mamage timeline, he was already married to Agnes at that time.
Mamie’s love life was sensationalized by the media and became a hot topic on social media.
Agnes even saw fans calling for a boycott of “Cinderella” and for her to quit the entertainment industry
There were tens of thousands of comments in support of this, but Agnes didn’t pay much attention to it.
She knew the truth. As a communications student, she knew that the hype around such scandals wouldn’t last more than a few weeks. As long as she ignored them, the rumors would eventually fade.
But Agnes had a bad feeling in her gut.
Online public opinion had always been diverse and contradictory, but after the incident, all she saw were insults and slurs against her.
She couldn’t help but suspect that someone was manipulating public opinion.
