Chapter 729

Chapter 729

Agnes felt a pang of sorrow in her heart. She walked straight over to Mamie and hugged her

Mamie struggled a bit, but Agnes held her even tighter, and in the end, Mamie stopped struggling. They both ended

up crying.

Choking on her words, Mamie said, “Don’t think that this means I’ve forgiven you. If you ever disappear like that

again, I swear I’ll skin you alive.”

Two men stood on the sidelines, watching this scene.

Jared spoke up. “She never showed that much concern for me.” Ivan echoed, “Same here.”

The two men exchanged a glance and said in unison, “Ah, women.”

When they sat down, Mamie was like a different person. She was all warmth and concern for Agnes, asking about

her life over the past few years. And Agnes shared her experiences in Manhattan in a chatterbox manner

Mamie listened, her heart aching A young woman struggling alone in a foreign place, wandering for four years.

Agnes talked about her thrilling experiences as a journalist as if they were just interesting stories.

But everyone else was on edge, only she seemed nonchalant. Even Jared was hearing these stories for the first

time.

Every time Agnes laughed while discussing the hardships she faced, Jared felt as if he had been stabbed in the

heart. At the end, Mamie held Agnes hand and said, “It’s good that you’re back now. You have family and friends

here. Maybe you could take over Starlight International Group, your father’s legacy

Ivan added, “Yeah, I’ve been running it for many years. It’s time for me to step back.”

Agnes replied, “Ivan, it’s precisely because you’ve run it for so many years that I can’t come back. Starlight

International Group doesn’t really have anything to do with me anymore. I’m very grateful that you helped out

when it was in trouble. The shares of Starlight International Group are yours. It’s your business now.”

A smile crept onto Ivan’s face. “Agnes, there’s something I’ve never told you. It wasn’t me who saved Starlight

International Group.”

Agnes was surprised. “What do you mean?”

Ivan glanced at Jared. It was all Jared’s doing. He funded everything but did it under the name of Century

Entertainment because he knew you wouldn’t accept his help. If you want to thank someone, thank Jared”

Agnes was shocked. She had no idea about any of this four years ago when she had a falling out with Jared. Had

Jared really been helping her behind the scenes?

Agnes turned to look at Jared, who calmly had some water “Don’t look at me like that. It was no big deal”

Whether it was a big deal or not, Agnes knew better. It was all Laura’s scheming back then. If she hadn’t asked for

such a high price, Laura wouldn’t have sold her shares. And then Jared had to buy back all the shares from various

shareholders, which wasn’t a smooth process.

He must have done all this under a lot of pressure from his family.

Agnes couldn’t describe how she felt All she knew was that she owed this man a lot.
