Chapter 290
Agnes asked casually, “So, when did you start having a scheme against me?”
Ivan frowned, thinking, “Well, that was a long time ago. Right from the first time we met.”
“The first time we met, you mean when we had that car accident?”
Agnes recalled her first encounter with Ivan. She had scratched his fancy car with her bike and ended up paying
him two grand.
A smile spread across Ivan’s face, “I noticed you were out of it, so I deliberately had my driver steer towards you,
causing you to hit my car?
Agnes had suspected Ivan had been plotting from early on, but she never guessed that even their first meeting was

Agnes found this seemingly gentlemanly man in front of her terrifying
“Ivan, you’re such a conspirator.”
Ivan smiled gracefully. “Thanks for the compliment.”
Then he took a deep breath, “But Agnes, you got one thing wrong just now.”
“What?”
“You said that the mastermind would definitely be the first person to show up here tonight, to enjoy the fruits of his
victory. But that’s not necessarily the case.”
“What are you trying to say?”
I’m saying. I genuinely wanted to comfort you.”

“After you divorce Jared, I can marry you!”
“I don’t deserve you.”
Ivan smiled gently, “If you’re not willing to accept my compensation, I won’t force it. But I have a few questions for
you.”
“Go ahead”
“Since you’ve been suspicious of me and saw through my motives and means, and even can predict my next move,

and I put on. The so-called bet, the dress-stepping incident, and even the words we exchanged in the dressing
room, everything was preplanned. It’s just a show. The headline tomorrow won’t be about me framing Mamie.
Instead, it’ll be about Mamie and I collaborating on a new movie with real-life actors, depicting the changes in the
entertainment industry. Today’s gala is just a part of the real story in the movie. We contacted Universal
International Entertainment in advance and explained our intentions and demands. The president of Universal
International Entertainment agreed and shared parts of the script with a few A-listers attending the gala. The stars
in the audience can testify in front of the media that everything today was just acting according to the script.
Mamie and I even filmed a video explaining this half a month ago. The fan sabotage, the dress-stepping incident,
and this gala, all are part of the script. In fact, Mamie and I withdrew from the competition for Best Actress long
ago. The SH Gala will announce the new winner of the Best Actress, and a proper awards dinner will be rescheduled
three days later
