Heartstrings on Fire novel Chapter 369

Mamie could tell Agnes was really down in the dumps.

Mamie's tone was stern: "Agnes, snap out of it, do you really think that sort of person is worth it?"

Agnes felt a deep pain in her heart. Even though she and Beatrice had their differences, they were bound by blood.

They were sisters. They could move past previous disagreements. But Agnes never imagined Beatrice would wish harm upon her.

Did such a deep grudge truly exist between them? Sinking into her chair, Agnes wondered, "How could she be so cruel?"

"Agnes, you have to face reality. You're in the entertainment industry now and that's how it rolls. If you're popular, people will be green with envy. If you're not, they'll push you around. It doesn't matter whether they're friends or family. When I first started, a friend stabbed me in the back. Because of her, my reputation was almost ruined and I was nearly blacklisted in the industry. That's when it hit me, you can only trust yourself in this world. I had to toughen up, make those who envied me even more jealous. They may not like me, but they can't do squat. And as for those who aren't friendly to you, you don't need to show them any mercy."

"But she's my dad's daughter, what can I do to her?"

Mamie said, "You may not be able to do anything, but I can. After all, she was the one who drugged me. This score, I will settle."

Mamie made her entrance with confident strides. Though she possessed her own private makeup room, today she chose to grace the main makeup area with her presence. As preparations buzzed around with artists attending to actors, the room's energy shifted the moment she stepped in.

Warm greetings flowed towards Mamie, a testament to her status. But her eyes scanned the room purposefully, settling on Beatrice. With a hint of disdain, Mamie addressed her, "Beatrice."

Beatrice, wearing a congenial smile, responded, "Mamie, how can I assist you?"

It was no secret in the team about Mamie's formidable standing.

Not only was she a revered superstar, but she also held the privilege of being the sister to the president of Century Entertainment.

Her stature in the entertainment industry was unparalleled. Naturally, many sought her favor or at least a word with her. Yet Mamie remained largely indifferent to these overtures.
