Celeste''s manager was more like a personal assistant than a real manager. It was always Celeste who called the shots, and the manager just worked for her.
In fact, Celeste had an entire team dedicated to her career in the entertainment world, including her manager. They were there to map out her path and n strategies to keep her star shining bright. Whatever Celeste wanted, they made it happen in the industry.
And Celeste was indeed someone who had a say in many circles. Her reputation as a princess in Virell''s showbiz wasn''t just for show. Her connections were solid, and everyone knew to give her the respect shemanded.
Right now, Celeste was just waiting for Miranda to get hereuppance from the Ashcroft family and the Everhart family. She knew Sebastian and Elian well enough. Anyone trying to gain publicity by associating with them was bound to regret it, whether they were starlets or wealthy heiresses looking for attention. Especially Elian, who hated clingy women.
Even though Celeste had noticed the unusual way they acted around Miranda, she was convinced that once they saw Miranda''s attempts to market herself through this ridiculous voting scheme, they''d drop her like a hot potato. After all, they were part of the same elite circle, and Miranda could never really break into it.
Logging into her ount, Celeste posted a pointed message, "A few days ago, someone brought her sister along to snatch something from me. Now she''s trying totch onto my friends and stir up fake romances? Can''t live without a man, huh? Some people really don''t deserve what they have, no wonder the fake always beats the real."
Celeste had always disliked Miranda. Finally finding an outlet to vent her frustrations, she didn''t hold back. Her post was loaded with implications, and the inte quickly picked it apart.
1. Miranda and Hannah had crossed Celeste and taken something from her.
2. Mr. Elian Ashcroft and young Mr. Everhart were Celeste''s friends.
3. Celeste was calling Miranda desperate for male attention, implying she was cheap and clingy.
4. She mocked Miranda''s ties with the Hawke family, hinting at favoritism towards a fake heiress.
As soon as people decoded these messages, the inte exploded with reactions.
"What''s Ms. Sterling hinting at? Does she know some insider info?"
"No way, Miranda and Hannah could actually take something from the princess? What did they take? Spill the tea!"
"Celeste doesn''tsh out easily. Miranda must have done something shady. Let''s not be fooled by her previous stunts. Probably the publicity."
"Exactly, Celeste isn''t like those other shy celebrities. She wouldn''t get involved unless something really ticked her off."
"Behind every pitiful man there must be his despicable deed. Being treated by the Zades and the Hawkes, Miranda surely has some serious issues."
"Some people are just jumping on the bandwagon. I don''t believe Miranda is like that. Let it slide."
"People ming the victim again? Ms. Sterling should watch her words."
"My image of Celeste as the most innocent celebrity just shattered. How could she mock Miranda without knowing the whole truth about the Hawke family?"
"We ship this couple, it''s not Miranda''s fault! Attack us instead! I''ll take the heat for my OTP!"
"I''ll fiercely protect my favorite couple, anyone who disses them better watch out!"
Because of Celeste''s post, Miranda
quickly found herself in the midst of a media storm. However, her loyal fans rallied to her defense,
preventing aplete bacsh. The online battle was intense, with Arabe''s supporters adding fuel t the fire, twisting the narrative further, leading to turmoil.
Meanwhile, as Miranda''s romantic pairings with the influential Sebastian and Elian gained traction online, Arabe seethed with jealousy. Her feeling only deepened
when the super topic and leaderboard that concerning Miranda heated up.
She couldn''tprehend how Miranda managed to garner attention from these two powerhouses while she got kicked out and couldn''t even get close to Sebastian.
Seeing Celeste publicly criticize Miranda brought Arabe a sense of satisfaction. She even posted on her own ount at the same time, "I can''t believe Sis understands me."
Her cryptic post was easy to interpret.
"Does Arabe know Celeste?"
"Why''s she still causing trouble after getting kicked out by the family?"
"Arabe, how about live-streaming life after being booted from the Hawke family? I''m genuinely curious."
"Could you speak inly? Stop being so pretentious."
"Come to think of it, weren''t Arabe and the Hawke boys way too close,
considering they weren''t blood rtives? Is that even allowed?"
"How is her ount not banned yet? @Cyberpolice, get on it!"
...
Ever since Arabe''s past bullying was exposed, along with her failed attempts to maintain a fake public persona and her schemes against the real heiress, including inciting covertly the Zade family to spreading rumors, the inte had turned against her.
People saw her as a viin, especially after the Hawke family drove her out of the house and cut ties with her openly. Now, she was just another scandal to gossip about.
Arabe had spent years building
her brand, and she certainly had
some tricks up her sleeve. Even after being ousted, she managed to gain sympathy by ying the victim card. She spread her narrative across her personal and other social media ounts, iming she was
wronged and that someone was
deliberately trying to sabotage her.
This led to a faction of die-hard fans who genuinely believed her story. They turned into vocal critics of Miranda, advocating for Arabe''s cause wherever they could.
However,pared to Arabe''s once vast fanbase, this small group of "true believers" was barely a drop in the ocean.
However, not long after Arabe posted hertest status, Celeste jumped into the fray. Shemented on her previous post "Look at all these nobodies trying to ride the wave. Just so everyone
knows, my folks have only one daughter, and it''s me. No adopted kids, no secret siblings."
