Chapter 471

Just two days ago, Bella’s trip from Hatchbay to Savrow was filled with delight. Now, a dark scowl had settled on her face, and her lips were pressed tightly together.

Back at the hotel, Bella locked herself in the office without any disruption from Steven. She looked up anything related to Celeste’s incident.

Mila’s words echoed in her mind. “The network’s special was Celeste’s darkest hours, but it was also when she grew closer to Wyatt. Back then, the internet wasn’t the behemoth it is today. To keep tabs on the entertainment world, people relied on magazines and newspapers. When news of the incident broke, Wyatt went to extreme lengths to contain it. He reportedly bought and destroyed every magazine subscription in the country that mentioned it. Any journalist who dared report on the matter faced harsh consequences.

Even though Wyatt managed to get the video taken down, traces of the video still linger online.”

threatening to shatter her fragile resolve.

A tall and strong figure rushed onto the stage, approaching Celeste without hesitation.

From the man’s back, Bella could tell that it was Wyatt.

Without a word, Wyatt took off his jacket and got down on one knee before Celeste to cover her modesty.

A hush fell over the stage.

The video came to an end.

Bella stared blankly at the screen, her shoulders drooping as she sank her back against the chair.

Did the incident lead Wyatt to win Celeste’s heart?

“My father probably wrote the playbook for getting the girls.”

Her phone rang.

Snapping out of her thoughts, Bella picked up the phone.copy right hot novel pub
