Heartstrings On Fire ( Jared and Anita )
Chapter 169

Chapter 169 

Mamie started to knock back the booze, head held high. 

Brayden came over, trying to reason with her, “Mamie, this could end badly. Quit the drinking. It’s just a game, no need to get so worked up.” 

But Mamie didn’t stop. She continued to drink, her eyes locked on Jared. 

Everyone could see it. Mamie was waiting for Jared’s reaction. If Jared stepped in, that would be a game changer. 

Right now, the situation was super awkward. 

If Jared didn’t step in, Mamie was definitely going to flip her lid. 

But then again, Mamie was Jared’s ex, and they grew up together. Even if the love was lost, they still shared a bond of friendship If Jared didn’t help, he might get a rep for being heartless. But if he did, to Mamie, it would be like giving her a glimmer of hope. 

A little spark could start a forest fire! In the future, Mamie would definitely stir up more trouble. 

And his wife was right there. If he wasn’t clear about his stand, it could cause misunderstandings. 

Jared’s brow furrowed. He didn’t seem to have any intention of stepping in. 

He kept looking at his watch, as if he was waiting for something. 

Just then, the door to the private room opened again. The man at the doorway was Ivan. 

He took one glance, strode over, and snatched the bottle from Mamie. He smashed the bottle, glass shards flying everywhere. 

Everyone gasped. 

He said to Mamie coldly, “How long are you planning to keep this up?” 

Ivan’s timely appearance was probably not a coincidence. No wonder Jared kept checking the time, he probably foresaw Ivan stepping in. 

In this world, the only person who could control Mamie, besides Jared, was probably her big brother Ivan. But Ivan was also known for spoiling his little 

sister rotten. 

Actually, many people there had also grown up together, so they knew that Mamie wasn’t always this arrogant. A huge part of it was because Ivan spoiled her. 

The Bartley family had a vast empire, but Ivan’s parents died in a car accident when he was 18. At that time, he was bullied by other family members, almost losing everything. 

Nobody knew how hard the 18–year–old Ivan worked to take over all the Bartley family’s businesses, started Century Entertainment, and bagged half of the entertainment industry. But everyone knew that during the hardest times, it was just him and his sister.  Sᴇaʀ*ᴄh the FɪndNøvel.ɴᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Later, after Mamie became famous, she mentioned in an interview. Their parents‘ death hit Mamie hard. She cried to her brother, saying that with their parents gone, nobody loved her anymore. 

Ivan told her that he would make her the center of attention in the entertainment industry, so that way everyone in the world would notice her, and she wouldn’t feel lonely. 

So, Century Entertainment was actually a star factory Ivan built for Mamie. 

This showed how much he loved his little sister. 

Mamie collapsed on the sofa. Probably due to the alcohol, she started crying into her hands. 

Without hesitation, Ivan squatted down, picked Mamie up, and left the private room in silence.
