In a stark contrast, Ariana's pictures were stabbed onto a smaller board. Helen had carved into them with a knife, making her features unrecognizable. Beside the photos, a Little blue teddy bear was impaled with a knife.

Helen yanked out the knife and gripped the bear, a bitter murmur escaping her lips.

"Marley, you aren't keen on losing Theodore, huh? Ariana needs to Learn her place."

With a swift motion, she buried the knife into Ariana's photo.

Meanwhile, Brielle was in her dressing room, smearing on Lipstick as a news broadcast ran on her phone. The sight of Ariana squirming under the journalists' onslaught brought a smirk to her lips. She orchestrated this media circus around Ariana's secret to make her life difficult.

But then, Theodore appeared on her screen. His candid confession wiped the smirk off her face. Was Theodore really in love with Ariana?

His revelation felt like a slap to her face. The thought of the usually cold and aloof Theodore falling in Love was hard for her to digest. She tried to deny it, but jealousy wormed its way into her thoughts. How was it possible for him to shower Ariana with such affection?

Why was Ariana the Lucky one when she was stuck with Reilly, a man far from handsome and full of quirks?

Her phone buzzed, breaking her train of thought. An anonymous text blinked on the screen.

"I know it's you behind all this. Bet you're pleased she's in the hospital.”

Brielle was taken aback, but decided to play it cool, opting not to respond. A second message chimed in, “Want to make her life even more miserable? I have a way to make it happen."

She paused, her fingers hovering over the screen before she responded with a question mark.

When Ariana awoke in the hospital, her gaze fell upon Sarah, who sat nearby, furrowing her brow as she checked her phone.

Before Ariana fully regained her senses, she was momentarily bewildered by Sarah's presence.

Sarah looked up and noticed Ariana awakening. Hastily discarding her phone, she rushed over to Ariana and asked, “How are you feeling? Are you all right?"

Ariana nodded, her confusion still evident.

Relief washed over Sarah, and she let out a sigh.

“Thank goodness

Theodore arrived in time. Otherwise, those unscrupulous media vultures wouldn't have let you off so easily.”

Sarah seethed with anger towards the unscrupulous media. Her hands clenched tightly in frustration.
