Beatrice understood that Agnes' words were not trying to scare her.
She did hire a stand-in, only to trip Agnes up during the press conference.
However, this incident made Director Zoe very angry.
And Justin got hurt in the process too. He wasn't as easy to bully as Agnes. If he found out that she was the cause of his injury and hospitalization, coupled with how protective Justin was of Agnes...
Just like Agnes said, she might get kicked out of the crew.
Beatrice asked, "Agnes, what do you really want?"
Agnes replied, "I won't say it yet, but I'll hold onto this secret. If you pull any more stunts, I assure you, your reputation in the entertainment industry will go down the drain."
"Agnes, you wouldn't dare!"
"Just watch me!"
Beatrice was so angry that her fingernails dug deep into her palm, but finally turned away in her high heels.
From the side, Ava watched Agnes, thinking how foolish Beatrice was to think Agnes was a pushover.
At this moment, Agnes radiated power. Her grace and elegance were rare, and her upbringing made her stand out in an aristocratic way. Agnes was the true blue-blooded princess.
At dusk, Agnes went to visit Justin in the hospital.
Justin was sitting on the bed, seeming lost in thought. He didn't even react when Agnes knocked on the door.
Agnes walked in, and Justin turned his head to look at her, asking, "What do you want?"
Agnes asked, "Justin, are you mad at me?"
She could tell that ever since the press conference, Justin hadn't spoken a word to her.
Justin replied, "Of course I'm pissed."
"Why? What did I do to offend you?"
"You getting married is one thing, but why the hell did you choose to marry Jared?"
Surprised, Agnes asked, "Why should I go with you?"
Justin replied, "Agnes, don't forget. I got injured saving you. I even have a concussion. You helping me with my luggage, meals, and daily life, is that too much to ask?"
Agnes realized, he just needed a companion nurse.
Agnes asked again, "Then why don't you ask your agent, Sandy, or your assistant, Yvonne, to go with you?"
Justin replied, "Sandy is too busy, and Yvonne is too clumsy. If they were to come with me, would that even be a vacation?"
He then raised his voice, "Agnes, you just don't want to, do you? I risked my life to save you, and you can't even do this small thing in return. That's disappointing...”
Agnes immediately said, "Fine, I'll go with you."
Before Justin could finish his sentence, Agnes agreed.
Justin's way of talking was surprising. He actually said such sharp words out. Who knows what else he'll say next.
Justin raised an eyebrow, seemingly in a better mood, "Then you go home and pack your luggage, we will set off tomorrow morning."
