Heartstrings on Fire Chapter 292

Chapter 292 

Mamie looked at Ivan suspiciously, “So you’re just planning to use me?” 

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, “Mamie, the whole world can misunderstand him, blame him, but you can’t. He just wants to protect you.” 

“Protect me?” 

“Only 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 that’s what Ivan’s thinking” 

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 Ivan’s eyes, Tm sorry, Mamie, I haven’t been able to protect you well.” 

“That’s not it.” Mamie whispered. 

Although everyone said she’s 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, “I know my brother has done many things to wrong you, but he did it all for me. I don’t dare to hope you’d forgive us, but I’m willing to face the consequences. Tomorrow, I’ll announce my retirement from showbiz, as compensation to you.” 

Ivan stared at her in shock. He quickly grabbed Mamie’s hand, “Since these things have been exposed, I’ll take responsibility for what I’ve done.” 

Agnes was also taken aback. 

Ivan said to Agnes, “You should know, everything I did was without Mamie’s knowledge. Otherwise, she wouldn’t 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 don’t blame her Tomorrow, I’ll hold a press conference to clear everything up, and I’m also willing to take all legal responsibilities” 

Mamie immediately objected, “No! If you hold a press conference, Century Entertainment will be finished.” 

Ivan turned to Jared and said, “Jared, I know you’re a man who holds grudges. I deceived you, betrayed you, but please, for the sake of our many years of friendship, don’t let Mamie be implicated.” 

Jared looked at Agnes and said, “All this time, the one you’ve hurt isn’t me, but my wife. I’m just a bystander. The final decision is Agnes’. If Agnes wants to put you in jail, I’ll hire the best lawyer to help her.” 

Mamie held Agnes” hand tightly, almost pleading. “Please don’t. Whatever my brother has done, I’ll take the fall. I’ll leave showbiz. I’ll stay away from you. Please 

don’t ruin him.” 

Agnes answered, “My reputation was damaged, I was slandered, and I was even almost framed as a murderer. How could I easily forget such things?” 

Mamie lowered her eyes. 

Agnes continued, “However, if you agree to my three conditions, I might consider not pursuing his responsibility.” 

Hope sparked in Mamie’s eyes, “Tell me, no matter what the conditions are, I’ll agred
