Heartstrings on Fire (Agnes and Jared)

Chapter 107

Right at this moment, Agnes’s phone suddenly rang, and she quickly stood up to answer it

Lucky for her, the call came just in the nick of time, otherwise Agnes really had no idea how she was

gonna respond to Jared’s question.

Go public?

If she did, it would mean there’s no turning back, but Agnes was still on the fence.

About Mamie, she still hasn’t figured it out. And she was clueless about how Jared really felt about her.

The call was from Director Zoe. After hanging up, Agnes walked back to the dining table.

Jared was still sitting there Agnes took the initiative and said, “Director Zoe said we’re having a press

conference tomorrow afternoon to announce my leading role in the TV series and clarify my

relationship with Justin.”

Jared didn’t react, just tidied up the takeout boxes and left straight away.

Agnes could tell Jared seemed a bit ticked off.

Was it because she didn’t give him a clear answer just now?

Agnes’s allergic reactions had improved a lot, only a few red spots remaining on her face, but there

were still a bunch on her body.

Based on past experiences, it would probably take about half a month to fully recover

In the afternoon, people from the crew started to arrive in droves, but Justin was a no-show. NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.

Not until the press conference did Agnes see Justin again, but he seemed a bit off.

Up until they were about to go on stage, he didn’t say a word to Agnes

Ivan had already given her the speech for the press conference, but Justin was running the show,

Agnes just had to sit there and look pretty

The venue was packed, surrounded by reporters from major media outlets. Apparently, Justin’s fans

also showed up, crowding the outside of the hotel venue.

The press conference went as planned, the crew announced Agnes’s identity, and Zoe personally

declared Agnes as the leading actress of “the Magical Romance of Cinderella”

Justin clarified that his relationship with Agnes was strictly professional

Next up was the Q&A session. Most of the questions were prearranged with the media, so there were

no curveballs.

The press conference wrapped up quickly. As everyone was about to leave, the conference room door

was suddenly flung open.

A girl who looked like a student barged in, without warning, she hurled eggs at Agnes and yelled, “Get

out of showbiz, you sneaky climber, get out!”

Nobody had time to react, they could only watch as she lobbed the eggs in Agnes’s direction.

Agnes was completely blindsided, she was frozen in place, she even forgot to dodge.

In the critical moment, Justin shielded Agnes with his body, taking the hit from the flying eggs.

Two loud splats were heard

The two eggs splattered on the back of Justin’s head, leaving everyone in the room speechless.

After a moment of silence, Justin’s agent yelled, “Where’s Security?”

Security had already rushed over and quickly dragged the egg-throwing woman out of the room.

As she was being dragged out, she continued to loudly protest, claiming Agnes had climbed her way to

the top through illicit means.

Then, camera flashes went on and on

Justin’s agent and assistant stood in front, frantically waving their hands and saying, “Stop filming,

everyone please stop filming”
