Episode 39

Elizabeth's ascent to fame plummeted before she could fully enjoy it, sending her burgeoning public image into a tailspin.

In the sterile hospital room, Sandra scrolled through social media, a sly smile spreading across her face as she reveled in the angry comments directed at Elizabeth. She exuded energy, a stark contrast to the pale, fragile figure she had been hours earlier after her encounter with Elijah.

Meanwhile, Ruby spoke calmly, reassuring Elizabeth. "Don't worry about the trending situation," she said. "I'll handle it—you just rest." With a nod, Elizabeth let Ruby leave.

Alone, a wave of helplessness washed over Elizabeth as she returned to her apartment. The 90-square-meter loft offered ample solitude. Ruby had tidied meticulously, leaving everything spotless. The minimalist white décor, warm lighting, and fresh linens created a tranquil atmosphere.

Elizabeth refreshed herself, changed into pajamas, and collapsed onto the bed. Just as she began to relax, her thoughts returned to the online drama. As a newcomer, she'd been thrust into the spotlight alongside Sandra, a situation she found unbelievable. The storm she'd stirred seemed too significant to be accidental. The more she considered it, the more convinced she became that Sandra's influential connections were behind the spectacle.

Instead of reacting impulsively, Elizabeth decided to consult Camille Nixon, her insightful friend and the daughter of a prominent entertainment industry figure. Camille, a true heiress, had cultivated a deep passion for the celebrity world. Her financial independence allowed her to build close relationships with stars, paparazzi, and media influencers, making her a veritable encyclopedia of industry gossip. Over the years, Elizabeth had gleaned much accurate celebrity knowledge from Camille.
