Chapter 251
In the bustling showbiz, Celeste thrived like a duck to water. Though she hadn’t appeared in many films, the roles she landed were always significant. Even her guest spots on talk shows and reality TV commanded top dollar.
It was this selectivity and her aversion to paid press releases that earned her the title of being the calm, collected princess in Virell’s showbiz.
To Miranda, Celeste was just another privileged brat using her status to bully others. She held herself in high regard, refusing to compete with the other celebrities, but she wouldn’t let anything threaten her standing.
She didn’t need to fight; everyone knew her spot was at the top. A facade of humility, but truly an act of hypocrisy.
Miranda scoffed, “The calm, collected princess? Please. Say one word against her, and she’ll go full–on warrior mode, ready to fight you round after round.”
Hannah was silent, trying to suppress her laughter, unsure if she should find it amusing.
Turning to Wendy, Miranda asked, “Did you get it all on video?”
Wendy nodded enthusiastically. Miranda had discreetly signaled for Wendy to start recording on her phone when things started heating up.
With a simple acknowledgement, Miranda turned to the bewildered staff around them and smiled. “Sorry for the mess. Didn’t mean to cause any trouble.”
Compared to Celeste, Miranda and her sister Hannah were a breath of fresh air.
Some of Celeste’s fans were beginning to question everything. How could their long–admired princess in Virell’s showbiz be like that? On the outside, they were calm, but inside, they were whining.
Celeste was a regular at these events, working with this magazine wasn’t new, but the staff was taken aback by her behavior.
They’d heard about her diva antics, but witnessing it firsthand was som
ething else. Even fans who used to admire her high–maintenance attitude were reconsidering their allegiance after such a public meltdown.
The event coordinator quickly approached Miranda and Hannah to smooth things over. “This was a scheduling mishap on our part. We’ll handle Ms. Sterling and make sure she understands. Please, don’t take it to heart
and be upset.”
With genuine concern, she turned to Hannah. “Is your face okay, Ms. Hannah Lancaster? Should I get a doctor for you?”
As someone responsible for the shoot, she never took a liking for negative press and was well aware of Miranda’s reputation. Appeasing them was her priority, knowing they wouldn’t back down from Celeste.
Being a seasoned surfer, she knew better than anyone how formidable these two were. Otherwise, Miranda wouldn’t have retaliated earlier.
Of course, they had also dispatched someone to calm Celeste down.
Hannah gingerly touched her cheek, wincing slightly. She waved her hand. “No need.”
Miranda examined Hannah’s face, her expression darkening at the angry red mark that marred her sister’s features.
After this unexpected drama, Miranda, Wendy, and Hannah finally left the set. As they departed, a few of Miranda’s fans discreetly approached them.
“Miranda, don’t go back to the Hawke family! They only want to drag you down!”
“Yeah, exactly! You’re perfect as you are! Never return to that family. Stay away from their sweet talk!”

“Stand by Caius! The Hawke family doesn’t deserve you!”
“Our Hannah is amazing too! You siblings take care of each other.”
The truth about Miranda’s past, including being isolated and bullied by Arabella and the incited classmates, had come to light.
