Chapter: 839
Sonia chimed in, “News about Brielle’s death is trending. Everywhere on social media, there were tributes to Brielle. Even her
critics joined in, painting her death as a tragedy of the dark side of showbiz.”
Ariana, curious about the Latest news, whipped out her phone to check the trending topics. To her surprise, the top three trends
were all about Brielle’s death.
The comment section was a chaotic mix of anger, pointing fingers at behind-the-scenes capitalists, and accusing marketing
accounts of deceit. Capitalism was taking a beating, as many believed it directly caused harm to Brielle’s life.
Among the numerous conspiracy theories, some claimed that Brielle had crossed paths with the capitalists. These theories were
quite persuasive.
Amidst the sea of comments, Ariana noticed a glaring absence of any mention of Jasper. This puzzled her, and she asked, “Why
is no one talking about Jasper? Isn’t he responsible for Brielle’s demise? How did he manage to vanish so completely?”
Sarah shrugged, saying, “You know how it is online. Besides, it seems someone is pulling the strings behind the scenes, steering
public opinion in a certain direction.”
This made Ariana think of Edgar, who had recently released a movie featuring Brielle. She wondered aloud, “Could Edgar be
behind the manipulation of public opinion?”
Without concrete evidence, Sarah couldn’t be sure, but she replied, “Brielle’s movie Deep Burial was a massive box-office hit,
making it into the top ten highest-grossing films of all time in just a few days.”
Ariana wasn’t surprised by this news. She had anticipated it even before the movie’s release. However, she worried that it would
overshadow her upcoming film, “The Missing Body”. Despite its excellent content, it would cause the audience to feel like it was
more of the same as Deep Burial.
Although Ariana was no longer closely associated with the Anderson Group, she remained committed to supporting Sarah and
Tyler in any way she could.
Sonia expressed her disdain for Edgar’s character and reputation, “He’s just a plagiarist and a parasite, resorting to low-level and
boring tactics that disgusted people! He will face consequences someday!
Sarah tried to comfort Ariana, “Hey, try not to worry too much and focus on your health first. Okay?”
Sonia nodded, giving Ariana the green light. “It’s high time you concentrate on yourself, we’ll take care of the rest.”
Sarah, noticing Theodore’s absence, asked Ariana curiously, “What’s Theodore’s plan with your baby? He must be thinking of
something.”
Ariana’s face lit up with a sweet smile as she caressed her belly. “He agreed to keep the bun in the oven!”
Her words were as sweet as honey, leaving Sarah and Sonia dumbfounded.
“You’re beaming Like the sun!” Seeing that Ariana was feeling parched, Sonia went to fetch water for her, but her keen eye
caught a strand of hair on the pillow.
“Hey, when did you start shedding so much hair?” Sonia asked curiously.
Ariana glanced at it and touched her locks. “Isn’t it normal to lose hair? No biggie.”
Just then, Theodore walked into the ward. Sarah and Sonia exchanged glances, tacitly excused themselves, grabbed their bags,
and made a hasty retreat.
Dinner time had arrived, and Theodore brought a meal for Ariana, spoon-feeding her directly.
Ariana was taken aback and said, “My hand isn’t hurt! I can eat on my own.”
She tried to take the spoon, but Theodore deftly evaded her attempts “Rest is crucial now, trust me. Let me take care of you,” he
coaxed.
Ariana was charmed by his words, so she obediently eased, allowing Theodore to feed her.
While eating, Ariana felt a warm trickle from her nose. She reached up in confusion, and her hand was smeared with blood!
