Heartstrings on Fire novel Chapter 100

Beatrice turned and put the phone away.

Ava said, "You should delete that photo."

Beatrice retorted, "Stay out of my business with Agnes."

Ava replied, "I can't ignore it since I saw it. Agnes and I are friends."

Beatrice smirked, "Friends? I think you are trying to please her. You used to be an artist in the studio, and I know you've always wanted to sign with Starlight International Group. If you think pleasing Agnes can sign you to Starlight International Group, then you might as well please me, Agnes has no place in our family at all."

Ava said, "You're underestimating me. Starlight International Group isn't the only agency in the world. I, Ava, don't need to suck up to anyone. If Agnes has no status in your house, why is she the lead actress in this play and you're just a supporting actress?"

The words really angered Beatrice. Beatrice was too angry to speak, but an idea came to her suddenly.

Beatrice changed her tone, "Ava, I remember you auditioned for the lead role too before, didn't you?"

Ava asked, "What do you want to say?"

Beatrice shared, "Here's the truth. Agnes was shoved in there because this play was co-produced by my dad and Ivan. My dad wanted to get Agnes into the entertainment industry, so he forced her into the lead role. In fact, you were the first in the audition, but because of Agnes, you could only play a supporting role."

Ava said, "Don't try to stir things up, I won't believe you."

Beatrice played innocent, "I'm not lying. Doesn't it seem odd? You and Agnes go to the same school, but she's a journalism student. How did she suddenly get into acting, and as the lead? Anyone would find that hard to believe. Plus, she's doing this play just to get close to Justin."

The mention of Justin shocked Ava.

Beatrice knew Ava had a crush on Justin because she once accidentally discovered a fan tattoo of Justin behind Ava's ear.

Beatrice went on, "Did you know Agnes is a super fan of Justin? She doesn't show it in public, but her room is filled with Justin's posters. She's doing this play just to get close to him."
