    This time, the silencested a bit longer. Liam was getting worried Just as he was about to speak,


    Celeste said, “I saw that she died on my birthday Did she die fromplications of childbirth?


    Liam hummed in agreement.


    Celeste’s lips trembled, “Was it because of me..?”


    “No, it’s not like that, Liam interrupted, “They were looking forward to your arrival more than anyone


    else But sometimes things happen unexpectedly. These are not things people can control. The fact that


    you’re still living in this world is the biggest surprise


    for them.”


    Celeste closed her eyes. Tm a bit overwhelmed.”


    “It’s okay Liam hugged her and kissed her ear, “You don’t have to meet the Garcia family until you’re


    ready”


    Celeste hummed in agreement. After a while, she said, “Steven and I looked so alike when we were


    kids.”


    Liam nodded, “Indeed, you did.”


    Then Celeste asked. “Did you two grow up together?”


    Liam hummed in agreement. He even remembered guessing with Steven by Macy Hann’s side


    whether the baby in her belly would be a boy or a girl.


    Thinking about it now, it was quite amazing.


    Celeste asked the question that Owen dared not ask, “You didn’t marry me because I looked like


    Steven, did you? You guys have yed together since you were kids.”


    Liam was speechless.


    That afternoon, Shelly’s parents, apanied by awyer, went to the police station to report a case,


    hoping to reopen the sexual assault case from years ago and seek justice for their daughter.


    Thewyer was arranged by Liam.


    They had been keeping Shelly’s belongings and phone. Thewyer analyzed some details rted to


    the case from the chat records with Sydney on her phone before and after the incident, submitted them


    to the police, and Sydney was soon summoned


    Shelly’s case was too high–profile, and despite her PR team’s efforts to suppress the negative news,


    soon everyone everywhere had heard about it. A famous actress instigating a sexual assault on a


    colleague, whether it was her status or her actions, was too vile. The major media naturally followed


    the heat.


    So that night, the news of Sydney being summoned was exposed.

    Her fans were getting hit left and right with negative news. Some level–headed ones had already


    jumped ship, while others were hanging back, waiting for the investigation results before they voiced


    their opinions. Of course, there were still a good chunk who were blindly defending their idol, posting


    stuff like “Forever believing in you“.


    The crew of “Peaceful Land” probably knew that Sydney was in deep water this time and announced a


    pause in updates that night


    The official of a celebrity management tform also issued a warning about Sydney and big brands


    were progressively scrubbing their social media of anything rted to her and canceling their


    advertising contracts with her.


    Meanwhile, after “Peaceful Land” announced their pause, the crew of “Phoenix Fire” immediately


    posted an additional update


    Zach Miller even shared it


    Celeste was taken aback and quickly messaged Zach, “Mr. Miller, are we riding the wave here?”


    Zach replied, “It’s striking while the iron is hot”


    Celeste had noeback to that


    ‘Oh my God! Gotchal


    Trisha’s hand slipped, and the apple she was holding fell, narrowly missing Nics s head.


    He was wearing a wide–brimmed hat, and at that monent, he was sweating buckets, ring at the


    woman in the tree. “JeLAN, can’t you aim better?
