Sasha covered her ears. âI canât hear you. I canât hear you.â
Bella was speechless.
âCeleste has a feud with Shannon. If it wasnât for the woman, Celeste wouldnât have retired from
showbiz at the height of her career.â
The sound of Milaâs aloof voice startled Sasha and Bella to scream.
âJesus Christ, Mila! You donât make a sound when you walk.â Sasha held her chest.
Sasha never acted cute and coy with Wyatt, but she pouted adorably with Mila.
âAunt Mila, what are you doing here at this hour? I wasnât expecting you.â Bella eased her breathing,
feeling relieved that it was not Celeste.
âIâve been here since you started talking. You were so loud.â
Mila glanced outside before shutting the door and approaching them. âNo point keeping it a secret now,
$asha. Bella is all grown up. You should just let her know.â
Bella eagerly held Milaâs cold hand, waiting for her to open up.
âJealous of Celesteâs talent and fame, Shannon kept sabotaging her.
Despite Celesteâs popularity, she was bullied and marginalized on the channel network. In the end, she
was drugged and humiliated at a huge event.â
Mila drew a deep breath to keep herself together before revealing the dark past in a flat tone.
Sasha sighed. Despite her talkative nature, she held her tongue.
âD-Drugged?â
Bella felt her throat dry as she asked in a raspy voice, âWas Aunt Celeste-â
âItâs not that type of drug.â
Mila choked with sobs and murmured, âShe was drugged with something that disrupts the nervous
system. It can no longer be found in Orealm now, but it was all the rage in showbiz back then.
The recreational drug is detrimental to health.â
Bella and Sasha were shocked, their eyes watering.
Mila was an heiress to the Larson pharmaceutical empire, so she knew the medical industry like the
back of her hand.
âWhat happened then?â Bella clutched Milaâs hands.
âLater, she was performing on stage for a channel special when she had an incontinence issue in
public.â
Mila teared up.
âFuck. How did that happen?â Driven by fury, Sasha punched and smashed the vanity mirror.
Bella trembled as she held her breath.
Even though the incident happened twenty years ago, Bella could feel the heartbreaking humiliation
and public humiliation for Celeste.
Celeste once had everything.
However, Celeste was left with a haunting trauma on her favorite stage. She might never have the
courage to be the charismatic and confident Celeste again.
âHow can you be sure that Shannon was behind it, Aunt Mila?â Pulling herself together, Bella asked.
âWyatt and I found a lot of evidence, but we had nothing concrete to pin on Shannon.â
Mila shook her head in regret. âShannon kept going after Celeste, and she seemed to be more than
friends with the network director.
Celeste had it tough working at TS, but she couldnât get out of the long -term contract. The only thing
she could do was put up with it. I later found out that Shannon told her agent to purchase the illegal
drug from the black market before the networkâs special. Even so, I didnât have solid evidence to put
her away. The drug was common among celebrities in Savrow at the time.â
âItâs enough for me.â
Bella closed her eyes. By the time she opened them, her eyes were bloodshot. âSo long as I believe
sheâs the culprit, thatâs evidence enough for me.â
