Heartstrings on Fire (Agnes and Jared)

Chapter 130

Agnes figures if Jared wants to play lovey–dovey in front of her, he should knock himself out.

Maybe after he’s done expressing his feelings, he’ll be willing to sign the divorce papers.

Agnes just wants to quit the drama.

In the evening, a truck pulled up to the set.

Boxes and boxes of seafood were unloaded.

The crew even set up an open–air barbecue.

Ava took a look and came back, all impressed, “Wow, Mr. Whitfield really went all out. Australian lobsters, abalones, mussels, and whole tunas, all brought in by the truckload. I heard he even hired a Michelin–starred chef. We’re really in for a treat tonight.”

The feast was set up at the Lakeside College field.

It was a sight to behold. Long tables covered in white tablecloths, exuding an exotic charm.

A barbecue area, a main course area, various drinks, and red wine were on the tables.

Everyone from the crew gathered, singing, dancing, and enjoying the barbecue. It was a real hoot.

But Mamie and Jared were nowhere to be seen.

No surprises there.

Maybe they’re at some posh restaurant right now, enjoying steak and violin serenades.

The girls from the crew were all gathered, enjoying the seafood feast.

May Kelly took a bite of sea urchin sashimi and praised, “This is the freshest sea urchin I’ve ever had. We have Mamie to thank for this. Mr. Whitfield is such a big spender. I wonder when he’ll marry Mamie. I can’t wait to see what the wedding will be like.”

Beatrice scoffed from the side, “Haven’t you ever had anything nice? You’re swooning over a sea urchin.”

“Beatrice, why are you so mean?”

“Am I wrong?” Beatrice clearly had a bone to pick.

*Beatrice, it seems like you’re feeling down this afternoon. Was it because Mr. Whitfield didn’t acknowle dge you when you said hello? I know you have feelings for him, but unfortunately, he’s engaged to Ma mie”

Beatrice expressed her frustration by saying, “I don’t appreciate how you spoke to me. The rumors about Mr. Whitfield marrying Mamie are u nfounded and should not be taken seriously”

“Everyone knows Mamie proposed. And now, on her first day on set, Jared throws this huge feast for e veryone. Isn’t it obvious? Beatrice, you might have a powerful dad, but you’re no match for Mamie”

“One day, I’ll be even more famous than Mamie. One day, the woman by Jared’s side will be me. Mark my words, you bunch of never–will–be’s.”

With that, Beatrice stormed off.

Amelia broke down, “She’s too much. She thinks she can do whatever she wants on set because she’s Preston’s daughter. She’s just a supporting actress but more arrogant than the lead. Always bossing u s around like we’re her servants. She thinks she owns the place.”

Someone tried to comfort her, “Let it go. She’s the daughter of the boss of Starlight International Group, and her mom’s a famous actress. She’s been spoiled since she was a kid. We, who have no connections, just have to put up with it. Once you’re famous, you won’t have to put up with her anymore.”

Agnes watched, expressionless, not getting involved.

Except for Ava, she had no friends on the set.

Everyone thought Beatrice was the Pritchard family’s golden child, trying to get on her good side while deliberately alienating Agnes.

But what Beatrice just said shocked Agnes.

She didn’t expect Beatrice to have such high hopes for Jared.

If she ever finds out about her and Jared’s brief marriage, who knows how she’ll react?

But no one’s supposed to know, right?
