Sonia chimed in, âNews about Brielleâs 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.
â
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 Brielleâs 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 Brielleâs 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, âWhy is no one talking about Jasper? Isnât he responsible for Brielleâs demise? How did he manage to vanish so completely?â
Sarah shrugged, saying, âYou know how it is online.
Besides, it seems someone is pulling the strings behind the scenes, steering public opinion in a certain direction.
â
This made Ariana think of Edgar, who had recently released a movie featuring Brielle.
She wondered aloud, âCould Edgar be behind the manipulation of public opinion?â
Without concrete evidence, Sarah couldnât be sure, but she replied, âBrielleâs 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.
â
Ariana wasnât surprised by this news.
She had anticipated it even before the movieâs release.
However, she worried that it would overshadow her upcoming film, âThe Missing Bodyâ.
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 Edgarâs character and reputation, âHeâs 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, âHey, try not to worry too much and focus on your health first.
Okay?â
Sonia nodded, giving Ariana the green light.
âItâs high time you concentrate on yourself, weâll take care of the rest.
â
Sarah, noticing Theodoreâs absence, asked Ariana curiously, âWhatâs Theodoreâs plan with your baby? He must be thinking of something.
â
Arianaâs face lit up with a sweet smile as she caressed her belly.
âHe agreed to keep the bun in the oven!â
Her words were as sweet as honey, leaving Sarah and Sonia dumbfounded.
âYouâre beaming Like the sun!â 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.
âHey, when did you start shedding so much hair?â Sonia asked curiously.

Ariana glanced at it and touched her locks.
âIsnât it normal to lose hair? No biggie.
â
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, âMy hand isnât hurt! I can eat on my own.
â
She tried to take the spoon, but Theodore deftly evaded her attempts âRest is crucial now, trust me.
Let me take care of you,â 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!
