Celeste decided to use her popularity to her advantage. She wasn't a public figure, and she had always maintained a low-profile. But her name had appeared everywhere for the past year due to many reasons. She was both hurt and praised by the online community. That said, she had never gotten any benefits out of it. She only cared about how useful something would be to her when handling different issues. With that thought in mind, there was nothing holding her back. In recent times, selling products through live streaming on short-video platforms has been extremely popular. Celeste decided to dip her toes into this trend by starting with platforms like that. She created an account and uploaded her first video. The title of her video was "Seven Ways to Style a Coat for a High-end Autumn Look". There was no introduction from Celeste, nor did she say anything at all. Celeste only stood before the camera and demonstrated seven ways to style a coat by wearing various layers, s
Celeste's first video became a hot topic, but she wasn't in a hurry to sell products. After a week, she posted another video. The title of the video was "How to Style Different Kinds of Cashmere Cardigans". In the video, Celeste remained expressionless as she showcased over ten sets of outfits with cashmere cardigans. There was only soft music being played in the background. From open-front to pullover, white to beige, she demonstrated different ways to style the cardigans with bottoms, inner layers, accessories, and shoes. As expected, the video quickly became popular. It garnered over 100 million views in just two days. Soon, many bloggers were eager to imitate her style. Following Celeste's styling tips became a new trend and attracted significant traffic. Those familiar with the hidden rules of such media platforms would know that it was only natural for Celeste to become so popular online. First off, she was already famous having been on several trending searches ove
It was Spencer! "He's showing so much love for her!" "Are they really not together?" "That's what it means to take care of each other!" …For a moment, millions of online fans were stirred up. Looking at the comments as they filled up the screen, Damon's face turned cold. "What's a virtual gift?" He called Liam. He was watching the live stream as well. He understood what Damon wanted. "It's how fans give money to the streamers on that platform. Should we send some to Mrs. Bishop too?" "Send a thousand of that to her," Damon said. "But Mrs. Bishop wouldn't receive all that money, the platform would receive a commission from it." A lot of streamers did this to make themselves more popular and to sell their products. There's no need for the Bishop Group to sell anything online. Liam felt that it was better to transfer all of that money to Celeste directly. "Nonsense." Damon became impatient. Spencer stopped sending gifts. But in just three minutes, a new user join
As Celeste was getting ready for her live stream one day, her phone buzzed from a WhatsApp notification. It was Lawrence, whom she hadn't seen in a long time. The text read, "Save me!" He shared his live location with her. Then, she received no more texts from him. Was Lawrence in danger? Celeste panicked. She quickly drove to the location Lawrence sent. At the same time, she called the police. During the half-hour drive, she thought of many possible things that could've happened. Being kidnapped for ransom, threatened by his business rivals, or even murdered by Jonah's second wife. She chased after Lawrence's location, but it kept changing until it finally stopped at a hotel. She didn't rule out the possibility that it might be a prank. But since it involved Lawrece's safety, Celeste dared not take any chances. Thus, she followed the location all the way to the hotel entrance. She arrived around ten minutes later than him. When the police arrived, they were nearly twenty
Despite being fierce on the outside, Carly had always been timid. Hiding in the room, she knew she had caused trouble when she heard Damon's voice. Without waiting for others to open the door from the outside, she opened the door herself. "Damon, I don't want to marry Jasper! I want to marry Lawrence!" She started bawling. Damon frowned. Celeste noticed that Carly had changed into the hotel robes, and her hair was damp. Anxious, Celeste walked past Carly and entered to check on Lawrence. Lawrence's face was flushed in a strange shade of red. He was panting hard and couldn't think straight. "Did you drug him?" Lawrence didn't look like he had too much to drink. Instead, it seemed as if he was drugged with aphrodisiacs. "So what if I did? Didn't you seduce Damon in this way too? Celeste, mind your own business!" Carly screamed at Celeste, showing no signs of remorse. To avenge her mother, Celeste had no other choice back then. She didn't think her action would set an exam
Although Carly was engaged to Jasper, she never let go of her feelings for Lawrence. She became restless since she couldn't get Lawrence to return her feelings. She did everything possible to make her presence felt before Lawrence, but he never even looked at her. This was why she resorted to such a foolish scheme. Suddenly, Celeste felt it was right for the Bishop family to send Carly abroad. She'd only cause more trouble in Taverdale, which would ruin the noble image of the Bishop family. Carly was simple-minded, so she didn't think too deeply about it. She was stunned after hearing Celeste's words. "How could it be that serious? S-stop trying to scare me!" Celeste snickered. "What? Did you think you could make Lawrence develop feelings for you after sleeping with you? Men care the most about their dignity in such matters. "It's one thing to coax him into sleep with you, but drugging him? Did you honestly believe that Lawrence would feel any affection toward you after t
Celeste was escaping from Damon. The tiny Polo that Damon looked down upon wasn't actually hers—it was her factory's communal vehicle.She made her way to the hospital to see Lawrence. She rolled her car window down to let the cool autumn breeze in, attempting to disperse the heat on her face. In the eyes of outsiders, Damon was the one who wouldn't stop chasing after her. Damon himself shared this thought.Celeste appeared to have moved on long ago and now had her own life. Only Celeste herself knew that even after being apart for so long, she would still be stirred by his every move. After having a kettle thrown at him, his shoulder must be hurting a lot. Carly was right. Celeste did come up with schemes just to be able to sleep with Damon. When Carly insulted her with the truth, Damon was standing right there. She wondered what he was thinking about when he heard those words. Celeste even tried to lecture Carly, saying that she was an embarrassment to the Bishop family
Celeste's words made Lawrence feel a little more at ease. Taking a deep breath, he lifted his head and looked into her eyes again. "My father is dying; did you know that?" Celeste shook her head a little. She didn't know much about Jonah's condition. "His health had been deteriorating for a while now. The syphilis has spread to his cardiovascular system—it's in its late stage. He's given up on treatment completely." Lawrence's tone was calm. There was not much love between him and Jonah in the first place. When he spoke about Jonah, it was as if he was talking about a total stranger. "I heard that he'd previously slept with over a thousand women in a year. Dying because of venereal disease is his karma." Celeste was quiet. Although Jonah deserved everything, she was the reason why he ended up in this state today. If Jonah hadn't tried to sleep with her back then, Damon wouldn't have gotten furious and brought two girls with venereal disease to drag Jonah down."He de
