Chapter 324
Celeste was rocking a skin–tight camouflage outfit, specially tailored to show off her hourglass figure. It was a perfect blend of sexy and sharp, exuding confidence and style. Her long, luscious waves of hair added to the allure, making her quite the head–turner.
From the moment she arrived, eyes were drawn to her, and it was clear why.
Miranda, on the other hand, was sporting a baseball cap, which seemed undiscernible from afar, giving her an air of youthful energy. Her casual outfit made her look more like the girl–next–door type compared to Celeste. “What are you doing here?” Celeste asked with a hint of condescension. “You can shoot too?” Miranda glanced at her nonchalantly. “Ms. Sterling, still haven’t learned how to speak properly, huh?” Celeste was a local staple in the Virell scene, and Sebastian had mentioned her brief stint in Zephra was all about Elian. With Elian gone, it was no surprise Celeste had left too.
She wasn’t tied down by a full–time career in entertainment industry, so except occasionally receiving a few gigs as films and variety shows, she could make her own arrangement most of the time. Nor did she have to travel around like other regular actresses. Thus, Miranda wasn’t the least bit surprised at Celester being here, given the latter’s clout.
“Do you two know each other?” Carter chimed in, curious.
Miranda replied, “Not really.”
Carter mentioned, “But you just dissed her.”
Miranda was speechless, feeling there was not necessary for him to interpret.
Celeste was already fuming at Miranda’s comments. “What did you mean by that? Are you insulting me?”
Miranda thought Celeste must have something off upstairs. The answer was obvious, even with Carter’s helpful translation.
“Yeah, you didn’t catch that? Need me to spell it out?” Carter uttered.
Miranda was like, “?”
Celeste’s face turned a deeper shade of anger. She was about to retort, but Carter turned back to Miranda, asking, “Do you two have beef?”
Miranda nodded. “She’s dug a pit for me a few times.”
Miranda hadn’t clashed with Celeste directly, but she was well aware of the online drama Celeste had stirred up before the Hawke family’s downfall. From spreading rumors to leaking her past, Celeste’s fingerprints were all over it.
Yet, the tables turned quickly, and now Celeste was infamous for her antics. Her carefully curated image of the aloof, refined heiress had crumbled, and people saw her more as a troublemaker.
If it weren’t for her connections and clever maneuvering, she might have disappeared from the scene altogether.
Carter looked shocked. “That’s pretty low.”
He turned to Celeste, his expression blatantly accusing, “That’s filthy.”
Celeste couldn’t stand the open criticism from those two any longer. “Who are you calling filthy? What do you mean by digging a pit for you? Clearly you are the one who has issues, and I’ve just exposed your true colors! Who do you think you are, insulting me to my face?”

Celeste had always held a grudge against Miranda. Her reputation had suffered because of Miranda, and even been chewed out by her family for tarnishing their name with her online shenanigans, causing them

adding more constraints her way.
Having been pampered and adored all her life, Celeste wasn’t used to such humiliation. She came here to confront Miranda, only to end up being roasted by her and the silver–haired guy.
