Agnes' smile was clearly a bit forced.
Justin was anxious as heck on the side. He knew that this whole scene would totally be blown up by the media.
He also found Agnes' reaction a bit weird because she's normally not like this.
Back in Dragon Bay, they had similar encounters. At that time, Agnes just seemed crushed and left, not as confrontational and fierce as now.
Obviously, Agnes had grown a lot over these few months.
Justin shifted his gaze to Jared.
He thought Jared would explain a bit, but Jared just kept smiling as if none of this had anything to do with him.
Justin's fist clenched unconsciously, regretting letting go so easily in the past.
Other stars on the red carpet were also standing near them, not wanting to miss out on the drama.
Mamie's smile, though casual, was dazzling, "Ms. Pritchard, you must remember our agreement."
"Sure thing."
"I hope you won't regret it, Ms. Pritchard."
"Same to you."
Both were smiling, but anyone could notice the hostility hidden beneath those smiles.
In front of everyone, Mamie took Jared's arm, "Jared, let's go in."
Jared nodded.
Justin's eyes were fixed on Agnes. He was really worried about her.
The reporters were disappointed that they didn't catch a "wardrobe malfunction" shot.
But still, this was a major red-carpet mishap.
Mamie let out a scream. Her dress was halfway off, but luckily Jared reacted quickly and took off his own suit jacket to cover Mamie.
Mamie turned her head, fuming, "Agnes."
Agnes quickly responded, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to."
Mamie was so angry that she was shaking all over.
Mamie's assistant rushed over to pick up her dress, "Mamie, let's leave first."
Mamie glared at Agnes, "We'll settle this later."
