They searched the scene, but the delivery guy had long gone.
Onlookers began whispering among themselves.
âDid Brielle do something? Why else would someone do that to her?â
âIt must be because of one of her affairs.
Who knows how many men sheâs slept with?â
âShe deserves it.
Sheâs so arrogant.
Iâve never liked her.
â
âQuiet, people.
Keep your voice down.
Donât let her hear you.
She has Mr.
Jasper Anderson protecting her.
â
Standing in the crowd, Ariana sneered and threw the card in the trash can, before leaving with Sarah.
That whole morning, everyone was talking about Brielleâs âspecial giftâ, and Ariana and Sarah held up their coffees to celebrate the successful completion of their plan.
In the small office, there was a sofa, a deck chair, an exclusive pantry, and a bathroom.
It had been arranged by the company specially for Sarah when she had been the most popular.
But Sarah seldom came here.
Ariana had been using it as a temporary work space for the past two days.
Donna stopped making things difficult for Ariana for now, but she didnât help her, either.
Donna just let the two work on their own.

That was fine for Ariana.
No one would give her any trouble, and she was glad to be free.
The laptop on the table beeped, alerting her of a new email.
She put her cup down and checked the screen.
The organizer of a variety show called âMiss Backâ had invited Sarah to take part.
This was a new show, which brought on actresses or female singers over thirty who were trying to restart or boost their careers.
Being a new show, it was unknown territory, so normally famous artists wouldnât take part.
Over the past few days, many of the top artists in the company had refused the invitation.
Some of the less well-known artists were interested, but were a little hesitant.
But this was a rare opportunity for Sarah.
Without much thought, Ariana persuaded Sarah to accept.
âDo you really think I could do it? You know itâs been years since I was on stage.
â Sarah looked a little panicked.
Years of a bad marriage had worn down her self-confidence and made her more pessimistic.
Ariana raised her head to look Sarah in the eye.
âI believe you can do this.
We canât miss this opportunity,â she said firmly.
âWeâve finally turned the tables.
We have to be persistent if you want to regain your fame.
â
After a moment, Sarah nodded.
âOkay, letâs fight again.
Ariana gave her a big hug.
âIâll call them and ask to sign the contract tomorrow.
â
That evening, Ariana left work in a good mood, which rarely happened.
She went back to the Anderson familyâs residence by subway.
When she walked through the door, the villa was quiet and the garden lights were dark.
Normally Judy would be in the kitchen cooking at this time.
Why couldnât she smell anything?
Ariana rubbed her hungry stomach and put on her slippers, calling out to Judy.
